Exacerbation of Darier disease with lithium therapy
Dermatol Online J. 2023 Oct 15;29(5). doi: 10.5070/D329562405.ABSTRACTDarier disease is an autosomal dominant blistering disorder linked to mutation of the endoplasmic reticulum calcium pump, SERCA2, which compromises keratinocyte adhesion and differentiation. Beyond the typical keratotic and eroded skin lesions, patients with Darier disease often present with psychiatric co-morbidities. Herein, we present a biopsy-confirmed case of Darier disease in a patient with bipolar disorder, whose cutaneous disease dramatically worsened upon initiation of lithium therapy. In consultation with the patient's psychiatrist, lithium was...

A case series of hydroxychloroquine exacerbating the dermatomyositis rash
Dermatol Online J. 2023 Oct 15;29(5). doi: 10.5070/D329562407.ABSTRACTHydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is an antimalarial agent that is commonly used in the management of rheumatic skin disease. Few reports exist documenting exacerbation of dermatomyositis (DM) related to HCQ. Herein, we describe three adult patients with worsening DM cutaneous disease after starting HCQ and resolution or improvement with cessation. The time to exacerbation ranged from two weeks to nine months after the initiation of HCQ 400mg/day. Two of the three patients had antibodies to transcription intermediary factor 1γ (TIF1γ) and the other had antibodi...

Erythema elevatum diutinum in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis
We report a 65-year-old woman with painful and itchy lesions on her elbows, hands, knees, and foot for a year. Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of erythema elevatum diutinum and treatment with dapsone produced significant clinical improvement within few weeks. Erythema elevatum diutinum is a rare disease that should be considered in patients with violaceous nodular plaques located over the extensor regions of the limbs. Knowledge of this unusual pathology and its association helps to avoid misdiagnosis and late treatment.PMID:38478644 | DOI:10.5070/D329562408 (Source: Dermatol Online J)

An unusual presentation of pigmented purpuric lichenoid dermatitis
Dermatol Online J. 2023 Oct 15;29(5). doi: 10.5070/D329562410.ABSTRACTPigmented purpuric lichenoid dermatitis (PPLD) is a rare subtype of pigmented purpuric dermatosis, which classically presents with a mixture of lichenoid papules and patches on the bilateral lower extremities. Herein, we describe an unusual case of a 47-year-old man with PPLD who presented with 1-3mm discrete papules without the presence of larger patches. The diagnosis of PPLD should be considered for patients presenting with bilateral symmetric discrete papules on the legs.PMID:38478646 | DOI:10.5070/D329562410 (Source: Dermatol Online J)

Red crusty plaques in a young man
Dermatol Online J. 2023 Oct 15;29(5). doi: 10.5070/D329562411.ABSTRACTPemphigus foliaceus is a superficial blistering disorder characterized by erosions and scaling in a seborrheic distribution. The condition typically occurs in healthy individuals but issues arise from delayed diagnosis. Many cases remain undiagnosed or misdiagnosed due to the lack of awareness of the condition. With use of common diagnostic tools, pemphigus foliaceus can be easily identified and monitored. Histological analysis exhibits "chicken wire" patterning along keratinocytes in the upper epidermis, whereas immunofluorescence study displays subcorn...

Erythematous scaly plaques and nodules on scalp
We describe a 45-year-old man who presented with erythematous scaly plaques and nodules on his scalp. In previously reported cases, there were only descriptions of nodules as well as tumors. However, in our case, the patient presented with plaques and nodules on his scalp that quickly resolved with treatment for syphilis. It is important to recognize and treat syphilis at an early stage.PMID:38478648 | DOI:10.5070/D329562412 (Source: Dermatol Online J)

Livedoid vasculopathy
Dermatol Online J. 2023 Oct 15;29(5). doi: 10.5070/D329562414.ABSTRACTLivedoid vasculopathy is a painful thrombo-occlusive vascular disorder characterized by spontaneous thrombosis in medium-size arterioles, which causes localized hypoxia and skin ulceration. As livedoid vasculopathy is rare, case reports are the primary means of expanding collective knowledge about its presentation and response to various therapies.PMID:38478650 | DOI:10.5070/D329562414 (Source: Dermatol Online J)
