"Extraction Dermoscopy": Expanding the Utility of Epiluminescence Microscopy.
Skin Appendage Disord
July 2020
Department of Dermatology, LTMMC and LTMGH, Sion West, Mumbai, India.
Article Synopsis
- The study introduces "extraction dermoscopy" as a method that allows dermatologists to visualize skin lesions without needing to extract material for microscope examination.
- The research involved 77 different types of skin lesions and used specialized dermoscopy tools to observe and document their characteristics in vivo.
- Findings suggest that extraction dermoscopy enhances diagnosis and communication between doctors and patients by allowing for direct visual assessment of lesions.
Multiple milia formation in blistering diseases.
Int J Womens Dermatol
June 2020
Department of Dermatology, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- Milia are small, dome-shaped cysts often seen in certain blistering diseases like various forms of epidermolysis bullosa, and they can be rare when they appear in large numbers.
- This study aimed to explore the literature on cases of multiple milia formation in blistering diseases, particularly in skin areas without prior blistering or injury.
- The research found limited investigations into the cause of milia, suggesting that they may arise from issues with sweat glands or hair follicles during skin regeneration, along with possible immunological factors affecting their formation.
Stüve-Wiedemann syndrome with multiple eruptive vellus hair cysts and clefted tongue.
Pediatr Dermatol
March 2020
Department of Dermatology, Hospital del Mar-Parc de Salut Mar, Barcelona, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- Stüve-Wiedemann syndrome is a rare genetic condition that affects bone development, leading to short stature and various physical challenges, including joint issues and difficulties with temperature regulation and breathing.
- The syndrome is typically associated with early mortality and has few recorded skin-related symptoms.
- This case study discusses a girl with the syndrome who uniquely presented with the growth of multiple eruptive vellus hair cysts over time.
Article Synopsis
- * This study specifically examined the diagnostic benefits of using a dermatoscope and included a familial case where only women were affected, comprising five females with confirmed EVHC.
- * The results showed that the dermatoscope effectively detected numerous vellus hair shafts in the cyst contents, suggesting it is a simple and quick method for differentiating EVHC.

An association between steatocystoma multiplex (SCM) and eruptive vellus hair cysts (EVHCs) has been recognized. Steatocystoma multiplex and EVHC have similar clinical features but distinctive histologic features. Rare cases of co-occurrence of these conditions have been known to occur on the trunk and the forehead.

Article Synopsis
- A family of four patients showcased multiple facial EVHCs along with other conditions, including preauricular pits, lipomas, joint hypermobility, and heart defects.
- Diagnosis of EVHCs was confirmed through histopathology in three members of the family, suggesting that facial EVHCs could signal an inherited disorder with additional health issues.
A Tale of Two Cysts: Steatocystoma Multiplex and Eruptive Vellus Hair Cysts-Two Case Reports and a Review of the Literature.
Case Rep Dermatol Med
April 2017
College of Medicine, University of Illinois-Chicago, Urbana Campus, 506 South Mathews Ave., 190 Medical Sciences Building, MC-714, Urbana, IL 61801, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Steatocystoma multiplex (SM) and eruptive vellus hair cysts (EVHC) are rare benign tumors found in hair follicle areas, showing up as smooth, non-painful bumps mainly on the chest, limbs, and abdomen.
- Most cases occur sporadically, but there are some inherited forms. Two cases are discussed where patients had several small, painless papules that successfully improved after surgery to drain the cysts.
- SM and EVHC share similar features for appearance and treatment, and their close relationship is suggested by previously noted "hybrid-type" tumors, making it hard to distinguish between the two through microscopic examination after drainage.

Trichostasis Spinulosa: An Unusual Diagnosis Presenting as a Double Lower Eyelid.
Int J Trichology
April 2016
Department of Pathology, ESI-PGIMSR and ESIC Medical College, Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
Article Synopsis
- Trichostasis spinulosa (TS) is an often misdiagnosed skin condition affecting hair follicles, characterized by thickening around an enlarged follicle and trapping of certain hair types.
- It can be mistaken for other skin issues like acne and keratosis pilaris, and a specific case in a 16-year-old boy showed TS in an unusual spot on the lower eyelid, resembling a double eyelid.
- TS is common but frequently overlooked, so it's important for healthcare providers to consider this diagnosis, even when symptoms present in atypical locations, to avoid unnecessary treatments.

Article Synopsis
- Eruptive vellus hair cysts are small cystic bumps that develop from abnormal vellus hair follicles, mainly appearing on the chest and upper limbs.
- These cysts are very rare in the eye area, and there hasn't been any prior documentation of them in the orbit.
- The authors present a case of a patient who has an eruptive vellus hair cyst located in the orbital region.

Article Synopsis
- Dermoscopic examination, or trichoscopy, is a quick and noninvasive method for diagnosing hair and scalp diseases.
- While it can be applied to hair disorders across the body, conditions affecting body hair are rare and mostly documented in case reports.
- This review covers the dermoscopic features and diagnosis of several body hair disorders, including keratosis pilaris and ingrown hairs.
Unusual Eyelid Dermal Keratinous Cysts of Pilosebaceous Origin.
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg
August 2016
*David G. Cogan Ophthalmic Pathology Laboratory; and †Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery Service, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A.
Article Synopsis
- The study identifies two new types of dermal keratinous cysts of the eyelids: solitary sebaceous duct cysts from Zeis glands and multiple eruptive vellus hair cysts, both linked to the pilosebaceous apparatus.
- Clinical records and tissue samples were used to analyze the cysts, revealing distinct histopathological features and specific cytokeratin expressions (CK7, CK14, CK17).
- Treatment options vary, with simple local excision effective for sebaceous duct cysts, while vellus hair cysts are more challenging to treat; both types are separate from other eyelid cysts like Meibomian cysts.

Clinicopathological features and expression of four keratins (K10, K14, K17 and K19) in six cases of eruptive vellus hair cysts.
Clin Exp Dermatol
June 2014
Department of Dermatology, Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical College, Zhanjiang, Guangdong, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined six cases of eruptive vellus hair cysts (EVHC) to look at their histopathology and specific protein markers, focusing on Ki-67 and four keratins.
- The main finding was that the presence of vellus hair shafts inside cysts is a key feature, but some cases showed unusual changes, such as multiple cysts and a foreign-body granuloma.
- The research suggests that these atypical changes are not rare in EVHC and implies that the condition likely originates from specific skin structures associated with hair follicles.
