Macrophage Activation Syndrome in a Patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematous Triggered by Tuberculous Meningitis.
Eur J Case Rep Intern Med
December 2024
Internal Medicine, Dubai Health, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), is characterized by systemic uncontrolled inflammation resulting from immune dysregulation secondary to various triggers, including genetics, infections, autoimmune diseases, and malignancies. Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is an immune dysregulation phenomenon, in which an underlying rheumatological disease is present. We report a rare, interesting case of a middle-aged female, with a systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) flare complicated by macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), in which tuberculous meningitis (TBM) was the identified trigger.

Cutaneous metastases from colorectal cancer are an uncommon but critical finding, typically signaling advanced disease with poor prognosis. This case report describes a 64-year-old woman with a limited past medical history who presented to our outpatient dermatology practice with rapidly spreading erythematous, indurated, and nearly verruciform plaques in the groin, vaginal, and perineal region. Biopsy confirmed metastatic adenocarcinoma of colonic origin, and diagnostic imaging, and colonoscopy revealed stage IV colorectal cancer involving extensive cutaneous, lymphatic, and visceral metastases.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is characterized by a clonal proliferation of skin-homing mature T cells with special predilection for involving the epidermis. Folliculotropic and syringotropic MF typically present with erythematous papules, patches, and plaques, with punctate accentuation that is folliculocentric in the former. We report a 67-year-old woman, with an extensive history of allergic contact dermatitis, who was referred to the Mohs surgery clinic with a large pink plaque extending from the nasal bridge to the right upper medial cheek concerning for basal cell carcinoma.

- Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare genetic disorder that leads to abnormal calcium deposits in elastic tissue, causing skin changes and other health issues.
- The study focused on a 13-year-old patient with flare-ups in PXE lesions, leading to a closer examination of the inflammation involved through skin biopsies and various analyses.
- Findings showed inflammation with T-cell infiltrates in the skin, particularly with a Th1 response, suggesting an inflammatory role in PXE disease, but the exact impact on the condition needs more research.
