“…Oral involvement is exceedingly common (60 %) often since the beginning of the disease (75%), leading sometimes to malnutrition [3,7]. Oral vegetations are rare, especially in the Neumann form, but occasionally the tongue develops a 'cerebriform' appearance which is typical of this condition [2].…”

“…Under discussion are also immunopathological factors such as Th-2-mediated immune reaction and cytokines that play a role in the epithelial proliferation and eosinophils chemotaxis. Then, activation of the complement cascade in skin lesions attracts inflammatory cells, including polymorphonuclear leukocytes, which cause a severe inflammatory response, with the formation of intraepidermal abscesses and vegetative lesions, both characteristic of P Veg [2,3].…”

“…Treatment of P Veg is similar to that for PV, being systemic glucocorticoids the first choice therapy. The Neumann's subtype is more resistant than Hallopeau's subtype, and requires high doses of corticosteroids with sometimes combination with other treatments such as dapsone or other immunosuppressive drugs [2].…”

A 53-year-old woman presented with a 10-month history of verrucous and hyperkeratotic plaques on the forehead, which had extended progressively to the cheekbones (Fig. 1A).An initial skin biopsy was taken on the cheek, with pathological findings consistent with a diagnosis of warty dyskeratoma (Fig. 1B). In situ human papilloma virus (HPV) hybridization was negative on this biopsy. No improvement was shown after 2 months of acitretin, 25 mg/day. Additional biopsies on the extended lesions of the face identified dyskeratotic cells with some vacuolated keratinocytes evocative of HPV infection. Viral papilloma was suspected and she was treated with shaving, followed by topical application of imiquimod. Four months later, physical examination revealed emaciation, hyperkeratotic, superinfected plaques on the face with a lupoid distribution, erosive lesions on the gums, and vegetant vulvar and perianal lesions. The usual laboratory tests were normal. showing hyperkeratosis and papillomatosis with some acantholysis and dyskeratosis (haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining; original magnification × 50). A written permisison from the patient is given to publish these photos. What is your diagnosis? See next page for answer. Dyskeratosis of the
