In 1966, Bart et al 1 described 20 members of a family with CAS affecting the lower extremities, blistering of the skin and mucous membranes, and nail abnormalities. This association of EB and CAS came to be known as Bart's syndrome (BS). At the time of the first report, the subtypes of EB were not classified because ultrastructural and immunochemical studies were not available. Years later, Zelickson et al 2 performed ultrastructural studies on the initial cases, demonstrating findings of dominant dystrophic epidermolysis
Actinic prurigo (AP) is an immune‐mediated photodermatosis that usually starts in childhood and is predominant among American indigenous and mestizo communities. In adults with AP, thalidomide is the treatment of choice; however, there is little information on its use in pediatric patients. We report the case of a 10‐year‐old girl with AP treated successfully with thalidomide.
Fibroepithelial polyps are common tumors of mesodermal origin. However, only a few case reports of giant fibroepithelial polyps have been published, and they have mainly involved adults. This case report describes a 3-monthold boy with a pedunculated mass in the scrotum. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a giant congenital fibroepithelial polyp on this location.
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.
