Fusarium species are fungi that are found in nature, but rarely cause infections in humans. They may lead to a variety of infections that are insignificant, locally invasive, and widespread. Some Fusarium infec
Perforating dermatoses are a group of rare skin disorders characterized by transepidermal elimination of dermal material such as altered collagen or elastic fibers through the epidermis. 1 In this group reactive perforating collagenosis (RPC) is characterized by transepidermal elimination of altered collagen. It may be inherited or acquired, additionally may be associated with multiple endocrine diseases, autoimmune disorders and malignancies especially diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure, liver disorders, breast carcinoma, prostate carcinoma and Hodgkin disease. 2,3 The etiopathogenesis of reactive perforating collagenosis is unknown but described to be a distinct entity that occurs in response to superficial trauma by Mehregan et al. 4 Koebnerization of the reactive perforating collagenosis was reported after minor trauma, laser application, arthropod bites, scabies infection, and scratching in the literature. 5,6 Herein we want to present a female patient who presented with multiple, well-bordered, centrally
Glycogen storage disease (GSD) type III is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder and inborn error of metabolism characterized by a deficiency of glycogen debranching enzymes which is affecting 1/100000 every live birth. Clinical presentation is classified into four groups according to the muscular and liver involvement. GSD IIIa, the most common form of GSD III, primarily affects the liver, cardiac muscle, and skeletal muscle. Treatment mainly involves a high-protein diet, to facilitate gluconeogenesis. A 28-year-old male presented to our outpatient clinic with a 2-month history of white asymptomatic lesions on his tongue. He was diagnosed with GSD type 3 when he was six months old, and he has no other systemic disease, drug use or smoking history. A punch biopsy was performed, in superficial dermis band type lymphohistiocytic lichenoid infiltration was detected, also vacuolization of muscle cells and positive PAS staining were seen histologically. Topical high potent corticosteroids and dietary recommendations were offered to him. We want to present this case because of the rarity of lingual muscle involvement in glycogen storage disorders.
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.
