COL9A1 encodes the alpha-1 chain of type IX collagen heterotrimer, which is a vital component of collagen fibrils in hyaline cartilage. There are preliminary lines of evidence suggesting that COL9A1 mutations may be associated with autosomal dominant multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED), a disorder affecting the epiphysis of long bones. With only 2 reported cases (both from the same family) of MED in autosomal dominant COL9A1-related disorders (MIM 614135) in the clinical scientific literature hitherto, the phenotype is poorly understood at present.

Article Synopsis
  • The text discusses the cases of three women aged 35 to 42 who experienced painful dermatofibromas, with one patient on long-term immunosuppressive therapy after a liver transplant, while the others were healthy.

  • Upon undergoing punch biopsies that removed most of the tumors, all women reported relief from pain, and the text also highlights the development of mnemonics to help clinicians remember various tender cutaneous neoplasms, including a new acrostic inspired by the book

  • The authors propose a new acronym for identifying various cause of tender skin tumors, emphasizing the need for ongoing updates in this classification to assist medical professionals in their diagnoses.*

Article Synopsis
  • Cutaneous tender tumors are painful masses found in the skin or beneath it, and their diagnosis can involve foreign body reactions, as demonstrated in a case study of a man who suffered a painful leg lesion from embedded solder.
  • In this case, the mass was surgically removed, leading to symptom resolution and a diagnosis confirming the foreign body presence and its reaction.
  • The text proposes a mnemonic acronym, "CALM HOGS FLED PENS AND GET BACK," to help remember various conditions presenting as painful skin lesions, making it easier for students and professionals to recall relevant medical information.
