Article Abstract
Jacquet's erosive dermatitis, or dermatitis syphiloides posterosiva, is classified as a severe irritant dermatitis characterized by erythematous papules and nodules with erosive, punched-out lesions. It can be found in the perineal distribution and is frequently reported in infants over 6 months of age. In adults, it is associated with urinary or fecal incontinence. We present a case of a 21-year-old white woman with a history of chronic umbilical drainage and a 3-year history of a periumbilical rash with red, friable, well-demarcated papules. Biopsy revealed pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia with focal epidermal erosion and a superficial perivascular infiltrate of lymphocytes and plasma cells. Our case sheds light on this uncommon diagnosis in an unlikely location.

Introduction: Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are at a higher risk of developing cancer, particularly hematological malignancies such as lymphoma and leukemia. However, existing studies on this topic that assess cancer incidence following SLE diagnosis are limited. In addition, SLE can be diagnosed after cancer, although such cases in children have been rarely reported.

Vasculitis, by definition, causes changes in the walls of blood vessels, including thickening, weakening, narrowing, and scarring, leading to inflammation and necrosis of the blood vessel walls. Small-vessel vasculitis is commonly associated with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA), which activate cytokine-primed neutrophils and monocytes that express ANCA antigens proteinase 3 (PR3) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) on their surface. The continuous injury and inflammation of these small vessels characterized by circulating immune complexes and antinuclear antibodies result in clinical features standard in all types of vasculitis.

We report three cases of neonatal, noninfectious, periumbilical erythema that resolved shortly after umbilical stump detachment. We hypothesize that these infants experienced an inflammatory and vasodilatory response during the normal umbilical cord separation process. We propose a new term: self-limited neonatal periumbilical erythema.
