Vascular Disturbances of the Skin in Critically Ill Patients: Lines, Dots, Patches.

When an understanding of pathogenesis exists, skin lesions that have the appearance of blood in the skin can provide insight into the mechanisms leading to a systemic process that results in cutaneous manifestations. Of the vascular disturbances of the skin that occur in critically ill patients, some result from a non-hemorrhagic process while occurs represent bleeding into the skin. The lesions of livedo, petechiae, purpura, and ecchymoses can be approached from such a perspective.

Background: Allergic contact dermatitis cannot be reliably differentiated from other forms of spongiotic/eczematous dermatitis by histology alone. Textbooks and recent studies have variably supported the specificity of dermal eosinophils, eosinophilic spongiosis, and Langerhans cell collections, among other features.
Objective: To assess which histopathologic features favor a diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis.

Numerous diagnostic clues are used in routine dermatopathological diagnostics. Ideally, a diagnostic clue can lead directly to a specific diagnosis and save further time-consuming additional diagnostic procedures. This article discusses the concept of "clues to diagnosis" starting from its historical beginnings with a review of relevant studies and including current literature.

Article Synopsis
- VEXAS syndrome is characterized by an abnormal immune response involving neutrophils but recent studies show that other cell types can also be present in the infiltrates.
- The report discusses three cases of VEXAS syndrome, highlighting a total of seven biopsies, which revealed a consistent presence of histiocytoid cells with a distinctive feathery cytoplasm.
- These histiocytoid cells may serve as an important diagnostic indicator for identifying VEXAS syndrome.
