Department of Dermatology, King Abdullah Medical Complex, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune blistering disease that is characterized by pruritus, cutaneous urticarial plaques, and tense bullae, with mucosal involvement. On histopathology, a subepidermal blister is predominantly evident with eosinophilic inflammatory infiltrates in the upper dermis. In a few bullous dermatoses, milia can manifest at the scar of blistering lesions or in non-lesional skin.

Article Synopsis
  • - Milia en plaque (MEP) is a rare skin condition first described in 1903 and can be confused with other skin disorders such as Favre-Racouchot nodular elastosis and steatocystoma multiplex.
  • - MEP can be primary (occurring on its own) or secondary (linked to other diseases) and is generally benign; it may develop after certain dermatological procedures, like cryotherapy.
  • - A case study is presented where MEP indicated the first signs of folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (FMF), highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for improving patient outcomes, using treatments like oral retinoids and phototherapy.

Eruptive syringomas associated with milia-like idiopathic calcinosis cutis.

Department of Dermatology, Hospital del Mar, Parc de Salut Mar, Barcelona, Spain.

An 11-year-old boy presented generalized eruptive syringomas (ESs) associated with multiple milia-like whitish palmar papules corresponding to dermal calcium deposits. A relationship between calcium deposits distribution to an underlying eccrine duct was noted on pathology. The observation of dermal calcium deposits and its association with generalized ESs may support a possible sweat duct origin of this uncommon and peculiar form of superficial calcinosis cutis.
