BackgroundCondyloma acuminata are soft, skin colored, fleshy warts that are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). The disease is highly contagious, can appear singly or in groups, small or large. The incubation period may be from 1–6 months. Although anogenital warts are considered to be sexually transmitted in adults, this may not be the case for children. Genital warts in children may result from several modes of transmission: from the maternal genital tract autoinoculation, from finger warts and nonsexual transmission from members/careers.Case presentationThe presented case is a 13-month-old girl. She was hospitalized at the Clinic of Dermatovenerology in 2001 due to papillomatosis changes on the genital area. The changes had started to appear in the sixth month of life, light purple in color, smooth and combined in a tumorous mass, in the vulva and anal areas.ConclusionFrom this case we can come to the conclusion that condyloma acuminate are not only transmitted sexually but through nonsexual ways as well, such is this case, from the infected mother to the infant. Laser therapy is preferred when multiple warts are spread over a large area as though in our case.
INTRODUCTION:Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) is a dermatitis caused by hookworm larvae inoculation in the skin, most commonly acquired among individuals in tropical and sub-tropical areas or travelers who have visited those areas. The typical clinical presentation consists of itchy serpiginous lesion that advances.CASE REPORT:We are reporting a long time misdiagnosed case of a 37-year-old farmer from continental European region with a typical clinical presentation, and no history of traveling to endemic areas. We made the diagnosis of the CLM based on the patient’s history of itchy skin that had advanced for a few months, and clinical characteristics of the lesion in the right gluteus region consisting of erythema, papula and vesicles, together with erythematous/livid serpiginous tracks that formed an irregular and capricious path. The patient was successfully treated with oral mebendazole twice daily for three days and local therapy.
Introduction:Hirsutism is a common disorder of excess growth of terminal hair in an androgen-dependent male distribution in women, including the chin, upper lip, breasts, back, and abdomen. It is very important to identify the etiology of hirsutism and adequate treat is prior to any cosmetic therapy.Case Presentation:The case was a 17-year-old female with severe hirsutism, oligomenorrhea, and obesity. She was evaluated to identify the etiology and diagnosed as a case of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NC-CAH), and hyperandrogenic insulin-resistant acanthosis nigricans (HAIR-AN) syndrome, which is a rare combination of hirsutism etiology. She was successfully treated according to the underlying pathology, and laser photoepilation was used as the preferred hair removal method.Discussion:Establishing the etiology, using the evidence–based strategies to improve hirsutism, and treating the underlying disorder, are essential for proper management of women with hirsutism.
Epidermolysis bullosa is a term for a heterogeneous group of rare disorders, characterized by extensive blistering of the skin and mucous membranes as the most prominent features. So far association of the disease with extra-cutaneous manifestations and complications has been pointed out. We present an unusual case of a neonate with severe complications of epidermolysis bullosa, associated with bilateral clubfoot.
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.
