Progressive symmetric erythrokeratoderma (PSEK) is a rare genodermatosis with variable inheritance. It is characterized by symmetrical, erythematous, and hyperkeratotic plaques on the extremities. We report a case of a 15-year-old boy with PSEK of autosomal recessive inheritance associated with nephrotic syndrome.
Cycticercosis is a parasitic infection resulting from ingestion of eggs of Taenia solium, the pork tapeworm. Cutaneous cysticercosis can be a clinically indolent disease or can be associated with subcutaneous nodules, visceral and CNS involvement. Their presence signals the search for systemic involvement, especially neurocysticercosis. Cutaneous cysticercosis has been rarely reported in literature.
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.
