"Chasing Rainbows" Beyond Kaposi Sarcoma's Dermoscopy: A Mini-Review.
Dermatopathology (Basel)

The dermoscopic rainbow pattern (RP), also known as polychromatic pattern, is characterized by a multicolored appearance, resulting from the dispersion of polarized light as it penetrates various tissue components. Its separation into different wavelengths occurs according to the physics principles of scattering, absorption, and interference of light, creating the optical effect of RP. Even though the RP is regarded as a highly specific dermoscopic indicator of Kaposi's sarcoma, in the medical literature, it has also been documented as an atypical dermoscopic finding of other non-Kaposi skin entities.

Article Synopsis
- Lyme borreliosis, commonly known as Lyme disease, is a worldwide tick-borne infection caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi species, often starting with a distinctive erythema migrans rash at the bite site.
- Other skin symptoms may also appear initially, leading to potential misdiagnosis and treatment delays, highlighting the need for comprehensive evaluation of clinical findings, serology, and histology.
- A case of a 78-year-old woman revealed erythema nodosum as her initial manifestation following a tick bite; she was effectively treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications, and prescribed adjustments for her outpatient care.
Dermoscopy to differentiate clinically similar inflammatory and neoplastic skin lesions.

Institute of Dermatology, Santa Maria della Misericordia University Hospital, Udine, Italy -
Article Synopsis
- - Dermoscopy is a valuable imaging technique for dermatologists that helps distinguish between neoplastic (tumor-related) and inflammatory skin conditions, especially in tricky cases where they may appear similar.
- - A review of literature identified key dermoscopic features that can aid in differentiating 12 common challenging skin scenarios, such as distinguishing between Bowen's disease and psoriasis.
- - The study concludes that dermoscopy can significantly assist in differentiating between clinically similar skin lesions, improving diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Lichen myxedematosus (LM) is an uncommon cutaneous mucinosis characterized by the deposition of mucin and fibroblast proliferation in the dermis. This condition can be classified into 2 forms: a diffuse/generalized LM, also known as scleromyxedema, associated with monoclonal gammopathy and systemic implications, and a localized form, primarily affecting the skin. Within the localized form, nodular-type LM is a rare variant presenting as firm, skin-colored to pinkish mucinous nodules.
