Essential thrombocythemia is a chronic myeloproliferative syndrome which usually runs its course as an asymptomatic elevated platelet count. Cutaneous manifestations secondary to microcirculation abnormalities are rare but can represent a helpful diagnostic clue in order to prevent major thromboembolic events. We report two cases of heterogeneous livedoid and "net-like" skin lesions in the context of essential thrombocythemia with identical histopathologic findings (medium-sized blood vessels with luminal obliteration by eosinophilic material, mostly positive for the platelet marker CD61, without vasculitis).

The aim of this review was to describe the clinical phenotypes, genetics, pathogenesis and treatment of DADA2. ADA2 is highly expressed on myeloid cells and deficiency leads to polarisation of macrophages to an M1 inflammatory type and activation of neutrophils.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is mainly an infectious disease of the respiratory system transmitted through air droplets, and pulmonary symptoms constitute main presentations of this disease. However, COVID-19 demonstrates a clinically diverse manifestation ranging from asymptomatic presentation to critically illness with severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, respiratory failure, or multiple organ failure. Accumulating evidences demonstrated that COVID-19 has extrapulmonary involvement, including neurological, smelling sensation, cardiovascular, digestive, hepatobiliary, renal, endocrinologic, dermatologic system, and others.
