An 8-year-old girl referred to our Department for a two-month worsening of congenital primary lymphedema of the lower limb and for the appearance of several purpuric lesions on the right thigh and knee. We diagnosed a lichenoid pigmented purpura of Gougerot and Blum in a patient with Milroy disease, complicated by an insufficiency of anterior saphena. We treated the patient with topical steroids and compression stockings, until surgical intervention of phlebectomy. We report this case for the rarity of the disease, for the even more rare association with lichenoid pigmented purpura and for cutaneous immunopathological findings.

Article Synopsis
- - A case study discusses a 64-year-old male with metastatic colorectal cancer who developed severe itching and new skin lesions after treatment with encorafenib and panitumumab, medications targeting cancer pathways.
- - The patient showed a mix of skin lesions, including benign moles and keratoacanthomas, with further evaluation confirming a link between the skin reactions and the use of encorafenib, as validated by the Naranjo scale.
- - Stopping the medications led to significant improvement in skin lesions, highlighting the importance of ongoing skin assessments for patients on BRAF inhibitors to manage side effects effectively.
Comparative Analysis of AI Models for Atypical Pigmented Facial Lesion Diagnosis.
Bioengineering (Basel)
October 2024
Dermatology Unit, Department of Medicine, Surgery and Neuroscience, University of Siena, 53100 Siena, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Diagnosing atypical pigmented facial lesions (aPFLs) is difficult for dermatologists and crucial for patient care, as incorrect diagnoses can lead to mismanagement and delays in treatment.
- The study compared machine learning and deep learning models to improve diagnostic accuracy of aPFLs using 1197 dermoscopic images classified into seven categories, focusing on the potential role of AI in supporting clinicians.
- Results showed that while dermatologists were 71.2% accurate in identifying malignant versus benign lesions, their accuracy dropped to 42.9% when distinguishing among specific lesions, highlighting the complexity of aPFL evaluations.
Oral lichen planus-like lesions in skin of color: a review.
Int J Dermatol
November 2024
Department of Pathology, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India.
Article Synopsis
- Lichenoid lesions in dermatology are characterized by a violaceous color due to basal cell damage and inflammation beneath the epithelium.
- These lesions are primarily associated with lichen planus but can appear in various other disorders, which complicates diagnosis.
- Accurate diagnosis is crucial for treatment, and dermatologists use clinical features, patient history, and additional tests like histopathology to differentiate these conditions from mimickers.

Article Synopsis
- * Some skin lesions can be subtle, often categorized as "invisible" dermatoses, like primary macular cutaneous amyloidosis and calciphylaxis, necessitating detailed examination.
- * Certain conditions have significant prognostic implications, indicating potential underlying diseases like monoclonal gammopathies or association with visceral damage, underscoring the importance of clinical-pathological comparison to differentiate between serious conditions.
Uncommon and Unusual Variants of Autoimmune Bullous Diseases.
Indian Dermatol Online J
August 2024
Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology, Kasturba Medical College Manipal, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, Karnataka, India.
Article Synopsis
- Autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBDs) are skin conditions caused by the body's immune system attacking certain proteins, leading to blister formation, and can be categorized into intraepidermal and subepidermal types.
- The objective of this review is to raise awareness about rare and uncommon AIBD variants, such as pemphigus herpetiformis and anti-laminin 332 pemphigoid, among others.
- By discussing these unusual variants, the review aims to assist healthcare professionals in the early diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.
