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.
  • The dermatofibromas varied in size from 5 to 12 mm, exhibited different colors, and were located on the buttock, shoulder, and arm; all women reported pain that lasted several months to over a year.
  • 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

Article Synopsis
  • A 70-year-old woman developed a painful, enlarging nodule on her forearm, which was found to be a subcutaneous mass after surgical excision.
  • The pathology revealed that it was an intravenous lobular capillary hemangioma (IVLCH), a rare benign tumor that typically causes discomfort but can be cured with excision.
  • 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
  • Injectable deoxycholic acid (DCA) has become popular for reducing fat in areas beyond just the submental (under the chin) region, with various off-label cosmetic uses being explored.
  • Research shows that DCA has a high overall success rate (over 85%) in treating excess fat in different areas, based on 11 studies and several case reports, but these findings are not strongly recommended due to limited high-quality studies.
  • More rigorous research is needed to establish consistent treatment methods and outcomes before making solid recommendations for off-label DCA applications.

The dermatological aspects of hEDS in women.

Int J Womens Dermatol

June 2021

FACOFP, New York Institute of Technology, College of Osteopathic Medicine, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome/Hypermobility Treatment Center, Old Westbury, NY, United States.

Article Synopsis
  • Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a collection of inherited disorders affecting connective tissues and can cause a variety of symptoms across multiple systems.
  • Hypermobile EDS, one of its subtypes, lacks a known genetic mutation and is associated with specific skin changes like soft skin, scars, and easy bruising.
  • The paper will focus on these skin issues, their impacts primarily on women, along with potential treatments and exploration of related skin conditions.

A Panoply of Rheumatological Manifestations in Patients with GATA2 Deficiency.

Sci Rep

May 2020

Office of the Clinical Director, Intramural Research Program, National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to investigate and characterize the rheumatological issues associated with GATA2 deficiency by reviewing cases and conducting assessments on selected patients.* -
  • Out of 157 patients analyzed, 28 (17.8%) displayed various rheumatological symptoms, with many experiencing these symptoms before or coinciding with their GATA2 diagnosis; notable conditions included joint hyperextensibility and early onset osteoarthritis.* -
  • The findings suggest that individuals with GATA2 deficiency often experience immune dysregulation, as evidenced by changes in T cell populations, and underline the need for further understanding of the rheumatological complications associated with this condition.*

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.

Article Synopsis
  • Precalcaneal congenital fibrolipomatous hamartoma (PCFH) is a rare, benign condition found in infants, marked by soft nodules on the heel's underside.
  • The lesions typically appear bilaterally, meaning they affect both heels, and usually do not cause any symptoms.
  • The report discusses a case of a 2-month-old baby who has similar solitary skin-colored nodules on the precalcaneal area of both heels.

Article Synopsis
  • Acrokeratoelastoidosis (AKE) is a rare skin condition that usually appears in children as small, non-painful, yellowish papules on the hands and feet.
  • A case study of a 7-year-old girl detailed her symptoms and diagnostic findings, including dermoscopy revealing linear structures and ultrasound confirming a benign appearance.
  • The article emphasizes the importance of histopathology for a definitive diagnosis, as AKE can be mistaken for other similar skin conditions; it also introduces new descriptions of AKE's dermoscopic and ultrasound features.

Piezogenic Pedal Papules with Mitral Valve Prolapse.

Indian J Dermatol

April 2016

Department of Cardiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Baskent, Ankara, Turkey.

Article Synopsis
  • Piezogenic pedal papules (PPP) are small skin lesions that occur when fat pushes through the skin, often spotted when someone stands.
  • They are typically light in color and can be linked to certain connective tissue diseases, including mitral valve prolapse (MVP), which involves issues with the heart valve.
  • The case studies presented suggest that while PPP are usually seen as isolated issues, they could indicate underlying heart conditions like MVP, prompting the need for thorough cardiac evaluations in affected patients.

Classic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome: case report and brief review of literature.

Acta Dermatovenerol Croat

June 2014

Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Hospital São João, Alameda Professor Hernâni Monteiro, 4200-319 Porto, Portugal.

Article Synopsis
  • Easy bruising in children can be tricky to diagnose, often due to causes like trauma or bleeding disorders, but rarer conditions also need consideration.
  • A 4-year-old boy's severe bruising led doctors to suspect coagulopathy or abuse, but symptoms including skin hyperextensibility hinted at Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
  • Genetic testing confirmed a new variant in the COL5A1 gene, emphasizing the importance of recognizing this rare condition for timely preventive care.

Article Synopsis
  • These lesions can either be painful or show no symptoms at all.
  • A unique case was identified where a piezogenic papule looked like a different type of tumor (angiomyxolipoma) under a microscope, hinting at a link between the herniated fat and certain tissue changes. *
