Cornu Cutaneum: Case Reports of Patients With a Cutaneous Horn Associated With Either a Verruca Vulgaris or an Inverted Follicular Keratosis and a Review of the Etiologies of Cutaneous Horns.
Cureus
October 2023
Dermatology, Davis Medical Center, University of California, Sacramento, USA.
Article Synopsis
- A cutaneous horn, or cornu cutaneum, is a growth made of keratinizing skin cells that often develops over underlying skin lesions such as benign and malignant tumors, infections, or other skin conditions.
- The text describes two cases: a 22-year-old woman with a cutaneous horn linked to a stubborn wart on her toe, and a 57-year-old man with a horn associated with inverted follicular keratosis on his lip.
- The most common conditions related to cutaneous horns are actinic keratosis, squamous cell carcinoma, and seborrheic keratosis, with several benign and malignant tumors associated with these skin growths.
Performance of fine-needle aspirate testing compared with superficial swab testing for quantification of BPV-1/-2 viral load in equine sarcoids.
Res Vet Sci
June 2023
Department of Large Animal Surgery, Anaesthesia and Orthopaedics, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ghent University, Salisburylaan 133, Merelbeke 9820, Belgium.
Article Synopsis
- Bovine papillomavirus (BPV) types 1 and 2 are linked to equine sarcoids, the most common tumors in horses, with varying viral loads across different lesions.
- The study compares superficial swabs and fine-needle aspirates (FNA) for detecting BPV DNA, finding that FNA provides a more accurate measure of viral load, especially for occult sarcoids.
- Results show that FNA is the preferred method for quantifying viral load in equine sarcoids, as it demonstrates a stronger correlation with the reference standard compared to superficial swabs.
Unusual clinical presentations in leprosy: a case series and review.
Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg
July 2023
Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, 160012, India.
Article Synopsis
- Leprosy has traditionally been categorized into specific types, but this classification overlooks many unusual clinical forms that can complicate diagnosis.
- The study aims to showcase eight uncommon presentations of leprosy observed over a decade, highlighting rare forms such as psoriasiform plaques and Lazarine leprosy.
- The findings emphasize the importance of recognizing these atypical presentations to ensure accurate diagnosis and timely treatment, ultimately preventing severe complications from this treatable disease.
Verrucous Sarcoidosis: A Rare Clinical Presentation of Sarcoidosis.
Cureus
May 2021
Department of Dermatology, Temple University, Lewis Katz School of Medicine, Philadelphia, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Verrucous sarcoidosis is a rare skin condition related to sarcoidosis, which typically affects the lungs through non-caseating granulomas.
- Most cases are found in African American males, but two cases were noted involving Hispanic and African American women, highlighting varied presentations.
- A thorough diagnosis and treatment approach is essential since it can resemble infections and may be linked to lung issues, with Adalimumab showing effectiveness in treatment.
Verrucous sarcoidosis: a diagnosis to keep in mind.
Pan Afr Med J
March 2021
Department of Dermatology, Farhat Hached University Hospital, Sousse, Tunisia.
Skin manifestations of sarcoidosis occur in up to 30% of cases, and may be the sentinel sign of the disease, with the skin being sometimes exclusively affected. While this may facilitate an early dermatologic diagnosis, heterogeneity in the cutaneous morphologies of sarcoidosis complicates recognition and affirms its reputation as a "great imitator". Here, we present a case of a verrucous version of sarcoidosis that may be misdiagnosed because it can mimic other inflammatory and neoplastic skin disorders.
