Manifestations and etiology of cutaneous findings in cases of morbid obesity
AbstractMorbid obesity is associated with a wide range of metabolic, infective, and organic disorders related to adipose tissue overload. While careful documentation of internal autopsy findings is usual, skin manifestations may be overlooked. Skin manifestations are quite diverse and include striae distensae, skin tags, plantar hyperkeratosis, acanthosis nigricans, the sequelae of hyperandrogenism, lymphedema, panniculus morbidus, chronic venous insufficiency, stasis dermatitis, leg ulceration, intertrigo, cellulitis, pressure ulcers and ‘buried penis’. Obesity has also been associated with hidradenitis suppurativa, p...

Anogenital lichenoid lesions: clinicopathological features and differential diagnosis
The histopathological diagnosis of lichenoid dermatosis in the anogenital area is challenging. A wide range of conditions can display this pattern, often with overlapping features. Understanding clinicopathological characteristics, key histological clues and potential misleading appearances is crucial for an accurate diagnosis. Common entities like lichen planus or lichen sclerosus can vary in appearance depending on the specific variant or stage of evolution. Additionally, certain pathologies can closely mimic other conditions. (Source: Diagnostic Histopathology)
