Indian J Dermatol Venereol Leprol

July 2024

Department of Dermatology, Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University, Xicheng, Beijing, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Unilateral naevoid telangiectasia (UNT) is a rare condition mostly seen in children, characterized by unilateral skin lesions, with unclear causes and treatment options.
  • A study reviewing 11 cases found normal lab results, but histological exams showed dilated veins and positive staining for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).
  • Pulsed dye laser (PDL) treatment was used in nine patients, demonstrating effectiveness and safety, suggesting PDL as a viable option for managing UNT while further research is needed to understand its pathogenesis.

Article Synopsis
  • Cutaneous vascular malformations and tumors present a diverse range of conditions that require differentiation for appropriate management and prognosis, yet there is limited research on their dermoscopic features, particularly in India.
  • This study analyzed dermoscopic findings from 68 vascular lesions in 52 patients, identifying dominant vascular features that make up over 75% of the lesions, using various colors and patterns.
  • The findings revealed distinct dermoscopic characteristics for each type of vascular lesion, suggesting that their dominant features and colors can aid in accurate diagnosis despite some overlapping appearances.

Department of Dermatology, Hôpital Erasme, Université libre de Bruxelles, Brussels, Belgium.

Article Synopsis
  • - The case involves a healthy 26-year-old man with telangiectatic macules on his left thorax and arm since childhood, leading to various diagnostic considerations including unilateral nevoid telangiectasia (UNT) and others.
  • - The ultimate diagnosis was confirmed as UNT, which is a rare condition primarily affecting men, presenting either congenitally or acquired, with congenital cases being less common and stable into adulthood.
  • - Treatment options include pulsed-dye lasers and addressing estrogen levels, along with performing thorough exams to rule out serious underlying conditions like liver or thyroid disorders in cases of unilateral telangiectasia.

Article Synopsis
  • Melorheostosis (MEL) is a rare benign bone disorder linked to various anomalies, including skin and vascular issues.
  • A case study of a 6-year-old showed MEL alongside multiple skin lesions on the same side of the body, such as epidermal nevus and linear scleroderma.
  • The unusual presence of these conditions together raises questions about a possible shared genetic origin or if their occurrence was just coincidental.

Article Synopsis
  • Cutaneous collagenous vasculopathy is an uncommon skin condition marked by the formation of asymptomatic red blood vessel dilations (telangiectasias) and a buildup of collagen type IV around these vessels.
  • A case study describes a patient with significant telangiectasias on their left arm that looked similar to another condition called unilateral nevoid telangiectasia.
  • The diagnosis was supported by microscopic examinations showing thickened blood vessel walls and abnormal collagen accumulation around the vessels, as well as additional findings from transmission electron microscopy.

Article Synopsis
  • The term 'capillary malformation' is currently used to refer to various distinct disorders, leading to confusion, such as naevus flammeus and hereditary syndromes.
  • To clarify, a review outlines 20 different capillary malformations, presenting unique clinical and genetic criteria for each and assigning specific names.
  • The review categorizes these malformations into capillary naevi, which include various types of stains, and non-naevus conditions, enabling better understanding and differentiation of these vascular skin disorders.
