Infantile perianal pyramidal protrusion (IPPP) is characterized by a protrusion located most often anterior to the anus. Three types of IPPPs are recognized: (a) constitutional, (b) acquired (mainly due to constipation), and (c) IPPPs due to lichen sclerosus et atrophicus. The aim of this study was to make a brief review on IPPPs from articles retrieved from PubMed, and to present our experience in this field. We conclude that awareness of pediatric surgeons and pediatricians of the condition is essential for the correct diagnosis of IPPP, and could help to avoid erroneous investigation of other lesions in this area.

Infantile perianal pyramidal protrusion is characterized by a light pink to skin-colored soft tissue protrusion that is often midline and anterior [A1]to the anus. It most commonly occurs in young females and is relatively asymptomatic. Although biopsies are not routinely done, histopathology is relatively nonspecific and can appear similar to an acrochordon.

A rare autosomal recessive condition called infantile systemic hyalinosis (ISH) is characterized by early-onset skin lesions that progress to the formation of numerous contractures. The underlying disease is the progressive accumulation of hyaline substances in many tissues. We are presenting the case of a male infant who was referred for evaluation and management at the age of six months.

Background: Hyaline fibromatosis syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by ANTXR2 pathogenic variants. The disorder is characterized by the deposition of amorphous hyaline material in connective tissues. The hallmarks of the disease are joint contractures, generalized skin stiffness, hyperpigmented papules over extensor surfaces of joints, fleshy perianal masses, severe diarrhea, and gingival hypertrophy.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on 16 Iranian patients with very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD), aiming to explore the role of underlying genetic issues related to inborn errors of immunity (IEI) in this condition.
- - Most patients were young (median age of 43.5 months), with symptoms starting around 4 months; common signs included chronic diarrhea and perianal diseases, with a notable prevalence of consanguinity among parents.
- - Whole exome sequencing (WES) revealed genetic variants in 81.3% of patients, highlighting notable gene mutations like IL10RB, and emphasizing the need for genetic evaluation in early-onset IBD cases due to the high incidence of mon
