“…Most cases of isotopic response have been described in herpes zoster scars. [ 13 ] However, development of LPP over preexisting scars is extremely unique and to the best of our knowledge, is not described in the English literature.…”

An 18-year-old girl presented with multiple itchy hyperpigmented papules and plaques, along with tense blisters over the lower limbs and buttocks for last 3 months. These papules, plaques, and bullae were mostly localized to preexisting scars. The histopathological findings from papule and bulla were consistent with lichen planus (LP) and bullous pemphigoid, respectively. Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) of perilesional skin around bulla showed linear deposition of IgG and C3. Considering clinical, histopathological and DIF findings, diagnosis of LP pemphigoides (LPP) was made. The preferential localization of LPP lesions over preexisting scars was a very interesting finding in our case an extremely rare instance of the isotopic phenomenon.

“…The limitation of FNA in fungal lesions would be the identification of the invasive potential of fungus, which can be overcome by the cell block with adequate sample. 1,3,8,[10][11][12] Histopathologic examination remains one of the major diagnostic tools in mycology because it permits rapid, definitive identification of fungal infections. Histopathologic and/or cytopathologic examination can also provide insight into the diagnostic significance of some culture isolates.…”

BackgroundFine‐needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is a basic diagnostic method used for the investigation of superficial and deep lesions. The implementation of rapid on‐site evaluation (ROSE) in cytological analysis can help in reducing the inadequacy rate and obtaining proper samples for further tests/analysis.Case PresentationWe report a case of 44‐year‐old male, who presented to our outpatient department with complaints of swelling in his right arm for the last 34 years. FNA with ROSE using 1% aq. toluidine blue helped identify the pathology (fungal lesion) in the patient with further confirmation by cellblock, periodic acid Schiff & Gomori methenamine silver stains.ConclusionThe role of FNA was significant in the above case, special stains prove their efficacy when sufficient sample is available. The differential diagnosis of fungal etiology should be considered in subcutaneous soft tissue lesions. There has been a major leap in diagnostic cytopathology with the advent of molecular testing. However, FNA still holds its charm.

“…In this paper, we reported a case of actinomycotic osteomyelitis with the classical feature of actinomycosis Splendore-Hoeppli reaction, radiating filamentous (Figure 7 ). Histologically, the bacilli are bordered by eosinophilic amorphous material with a club-shaped configuration known as the Splendore-Hoeppli reaction seen in Infective conditions such as actinomycosis, aspergillosis, blastomycosis, botryomycosis, and candidiasis [ 13 ]. To our knowledge, this is the first case to report actinomycotic osteomyelitis followed by shingles infection.…”

The herpes virus causes herpes zoster (HZ) (shingles). It develops years later in elderly patients who were affected by the varicella-zoster virus in their childhood. The virus gets reactivated and typically localizes its symptoms to a particular dermatome. If left untreated, it can lead to dental complications, such as osteonecrosis, tooth exfoliation, periodontitis, calcified and devitalized pulps, periapical lesions, and root resorption, in addition to developmental irregularities, such as abnormally short roots and missing teeth. Here, we present the case of a 61-year-old male affected by a rare bacterial superinfection followed by an HZ infection. Our report aims at making clinicians aware of the various potential complications that can develop after an HZ infection.
