We report a case of trigeminal trophic syndrome (TTS) on the scalp of a 69-year-old woman. Initially, the diagnosis of pityriasis amiantacea was considered. The review of pathological antecedents and knowledge of TTS were fundamental for the diagnosis of this illness. We performed a brief review on TTS and differential diagnoses.
We report a case of a 76-year-old patient with a history of recent weight loss
and ulcerated umbilical nodular lesion. Initially, we considered the diagnostic
hypothesis of Sister Mary Joseph's nodule. However, histopathological evaluation
revealed that it was an ulcerated intradermal nevus. We perform a brief review
of umbilical nodules.
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.
