Zoon vulvitis or vulvitis chronica plasmacellularis is a rare, chronic benign
inflammation of the vulvar mucosa, diagnosed histologically, with variable
therapeutic responses. It is important to be diagnosed because it mimics the
presentation of other genital conditions, such as lichen planus and squamous
cell carcinoma, which require specific treatment. We report a case of a female
patient with three asymptomatic shallow ulcers on the labia minora. Laboratory
tests ruled out infectious diseases and the biopsy was consistent with Zoon
Vulvitis.
Papular elastorrhexis is a rare acquired disease, first described in 1987 by Bordas, which has been very rarely reported in the literature. It is characterized by small asymptomatic non-follicular papules, mainly distributed in the trunk. Histology of the lesions shows homogenization of collagen and fragmentation of elastic fibers in the dermis. The rarity of this disease is probably due to the subtlety and benign nature of clinical and histopathological alterations, which can be easily confused with other pathologies. The authors report the case of a patient with exuberant clinical manifestations typical of elastorrhexis papular.
Verrucous hemangioma is a rare vascular skin disorder with an immune profile
similar to vascular neoplasms, but with behavior and evolution of vascular
malformations. Its main differential diagnosis is angiokeratoma circumscriptum
neviforme, with an almost indistinguishable clinical presentation because both
diseases appear as erythematous patches that evolve to violaceous plaques,
becoming scaly and even verrucous, most commonly affecting the lower limbs.
Histopathology is crucial for the correct diagnosis: while in angiokeratoma the
vascular alterations are limited to the papillary dermis, verrucous hemangioma
extends deep into the dermis, reaching the subcutaneous tissue.
Abstract:The authors present a clinicopathological case of Generalized Perforating Granuloma Annulare with extensive distribution of lesions, which are shown in various stages of development. Pustules, papular lesions in annular and arcuate distribution, erosions covered with hematic crusts, maculopapular atrophic areas and scars were the presentation forms of the disease. The histopathological aspects are discussed in detail within non-infectious granulomatous dermatitis. The text is based on the opinions of some authors in the literature. Furthermore, the therapeutic result obtained after three months of Dapsone at a dose of 100 mg per day was demonstrated by photographs. Keywords: Granuloma; Granuloma annulare; Dapsone Resumo: Os autores apresentam caso clínico-patológico de Granuloma Anular Perfurante Generalizado, com extensa distribuição de lesões, as quais se mostram em diversas fases de evolução. Pústulas, lesões papulosas, em distribuição anular e arciforme, erosões recobertas por crostas hemáticas, áreas máculo-atróficas e cicatrizes foram as faces de apresentação da doença. Os aspectos histopatopatológicos são detalhadamente discutidos, dentro das dermatites granulomatosas não infecciosas. O texto baseia-se nas opiniões de alguns autores da literatura. Além disso, o resultado terapêutico obtido foi demonstrado por fotografias, resultado de 3 meses de Dapsona na dose de 100 mg por dia.
Primary localized cutaneous nodular amyloidosis is a rare plasma cell dyscrasia in which an amorphous material consisting of light chain amyloid is produced and deposited in the dermis, with varied clinical presentation. We describe the case with unusual and tumor lush clinical presentation in the face with no progression to systemic disease and no evidence of extracutaneous commitment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
