“…Data from the literature also suggest that (video)dermoscopy may be useful in the evaluation of filiform papillae of the tongue in connective tissue diseases (CTD) [13]; however, in our study, we did not perform videodermoscopy in this location.…”

“…The (video)dermoscopic features of skin symptoms in the course of DM have not been extensively studied so far [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Data from the literature point at potential application of (video)dermoscopy in the assessment of nailfolds (capillaroscopy) [7][8][9][10], scalp (trichoscopy) [11,12], filiform papillae of the tongue [13], hand lesions [14], and cutaneous changes in erythrodermic DM [15].…”

Background: (Video)dermoscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that has a well-established role in dermatooncology. In recent years, this method has also been increasingly used in the assessment of inflammatory dermatoses. So far, little is known about the (video)dermoscopic features of dermatomyositis (DM). Methods: Consecutive patients with DM were included in the study and videodermoscopic assessments of the nailfolds, scalp, and active skin lesions were performed. Results: Fifteen patients with DM (10 women and 5 men) were included. Capillaroscopy showed elongated capillaries (90.9%), avascular areas (81.8%), disorganized vessel architecture (81.8%), tortuous capillaries (72.7%), dilated capillaries (72.7%), and hemorrhages (72.7%). The trichoscopic findings included linear branched vessels (80.0%), linear vessels (60.0%), linear curved vessels (53.3%), perifollicular pigmentation (40.0%), perifollicular erythema (33.3%), scaling (20.0%), white (20.0%) or yellow (20%) interfollicular scales, and white (20.0%) or pinkish (13.3%) structureless areas. Polymorphic vessels of an unspecific distribution and white or pink structureless areas were frequently observed under dermoscopy in cutaneous manifestations of DM, including Gottron’s papules and Gottron’s sign. Conclusions: Dermoscopy of the nailfolds (capillaroscopy), scalp (tricoscopy), and active cutaneous lesions may be of value in the preliminary diagnosis of DM.

“…[5][6][7]11 Dermoscopy has also been utilized for the visualization of filiform papillae of the tongue in connective tissue diseases. 9 Trichoscopic features of DM have also been reported in a few papers. 10,12,13 Jasso-Olivares et al analysed scalp dermoscopy in 31 patients with DM and observed the presence of enlarged tortuous capillaries (71.4%), peripilar casts (57.1%), tufting, interfollicular scales (50%) and, in a smaller percentage of cases, bushy capillaries, inter-and perifollicular pigmentation and vascular lake-like structures.…”

“…There are scarce data in the literature on the application of (video)dermoscopy in DM. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] So far, dermoscopy has been predominantly used for the assessment of nail fold capillaries and proved to be a reliable tool to detect dilated capillaries, 'bushy' capillaries, nail fold bleedings and avascular areas. [5][6][7]11 Dermoscopy has also been utilized for the visualization of filiform papillae of the tongue in connective tissue diseases.…”

Background Several inflammatory dermatoses, including dermatomyositis (DM), may present as erythematous papules or plaques on the dorsal aspects of the hands over the joints. Limited skin involvement in these entities may pose a diagnostic challenge. (Video)dermoscopy is being utilized more frequently to aid in the differential diagnosis of inflammatory skin conditions. Objective To describe the dermoscopic findings in Gottron’s papules and compare them with dermoscopic features of other dermatoses involving the dorsal aspects of the hands. Methods Videodermoscopic images from patients presenting with erythematous papules or plaques on the dorsal surface of the hands were retrospectively analysed for the presence of standardized dermoscopic parameters. Results Dermoscopic images from patients with DM (n = 12), psoriasis (n = 19), chronic dermatitis (n = 16), mycosis fungoides (n = 7), lichen planus (n = 5) and pityriasis rubra pilaris (n = 3) were included. Gottron’s papules were characterized by pleomorphic vessels (dotted vessels accompanied by thick or thin linear vessels with branches or linear curved vessels) in 66.7% of cases, arranged in an unspecified pattern (91.7%), and accompanied by white or pink structureless areas (75.0%). Psoriatic plaques were characterized by dotted vessels arranged in a uniform pattern (94.7%). Vessels arranged in a ring pattern were nearly exclusively observed in psoriasis, while yellow structureless areas and erosions were more frequently present in chronic dermatitis. White lines, corresponding to Wickham striae, were specific for lichen planus. Conclusions Videodermoscopy might be of value in differentiating Gottron’s papules from other dermatoses involving dorsa of the hands.

Dermoscopic patterns of filiform papillae of the tongue in patients with and without connective tissue autoimmune diseases

Abstract: We have noted alterations in filiform papillae in CTADs, which emphasizes the importance of a detailed intraoral exploration and the macroscopic and dermoscopic evaluation of the dorsum of the tongue, specifically the filiform papillae.
