A non-blinded three armed study of the effect of Aloe vera, Essex and no lotion on erythema was performed. The erythema is an effect of radiotherapy treatment in breast cancer patients. The study required testing of objective methods for measuring the erythema. The chosen experimental methods were
BACKGROUND
Flagellate erythema presents as erythematous, individual and intermingled, linear streaks in a whiplash-like pattern. Several conditions, including antineoplastic agents, have been associated with flagellate erythema. A woman with metastatic breast cancer who developed flagellate erythema
A 46 year old woman had suffered from Erythema anulare centrifugum Darier (EAC) since 20 years. During a rush of the erythema numerous seborrhoic keratoses appeared (Leser-Trélat sign/LTS). Clinical examination revealed a ductular carcinoma of the breast. During the last two years, both types of
BACKGROUND
Erythema nodosum is often associated with a distressing symptomatology, including painful subcutaneous nodules, polyarthropathy, and significant fatigue. Whilst it is a well-documented side-effect of estrogen therapy in females, we describe what we believe to be the first report in the
It is generally presumed that xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) patients are extremely sensitive to developing UV erythema, and that they have a more than 1000-fold increased skin cancer risk. Recently established mouse models for XP can be employed to investigate the mechanism of these increased
Sipuleucel-T is a cellular immunotherapy approved for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. We report a patient developing an immune related adverse effect from sipuleucel-T drug-induced erythema annulare centrifugum-like eruption. A brief review of the mechanism and
A man of 59 is described with a characteristic skin eruption, necrolytic migratory erythema, associated with a malignant islet cell pancreatic tumour. There was no definite evidence that this was a glucagonoma although previous reports have suggested that the pancreatic tumour usually associated
Erythema elevatum diutinum (EED) is a rare dermatosis with evolving histopathological features that vary according to the age of the lesions, with a variable fibrosis and a fascicled proliferation of spindle cells in late phases. The authors present an otherwise healthy 57-year-old woman with
OBJECTIVE
We describe the cutaneous pseudoneoplastic lesions in two patients with nodular erythema elevatum diutinum, a rare chronic disorder in which polymorph nuclear fragmentation (leukocytoclasis) is present within dermal nodules showing spindle cells and fibrosis. In both cases diagnostic
Erythema annulare centrifugum is a figurate erythema of unknown etiology. It has been associated with many different entities, including infections, food allergy, drug reactions and malignant neoplasms. Herein, we report a case of erythema annulare centrifugum as presenting sign of activation of
We first analyzed the genomic profile of cutaneous type adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) in an attempt to clarify its clinical and biological characteristics. Genomic gains of 1p, 7q and 18q and loss of 13q were frequently detected. Gain of 1p36.33-32 or loss of 13q33.1-3 indicated poor
Figurate or gyrate erythemas are group of skin conditions that present as annular or figurate erythematous papules and plaques with peripheral spreading. Several diseases are included in this group but only two of them are associated with underlying malignancy, erythema annulare centrifugum and
Erythema ab igne (EAI), an old and rare disease, is an erythematous, often pigmented, reticular, macular dermatosis that occurs at the site of repeated exposure to moderate heat. Reported herein is an unusual case of EAI occurring in a 33-year-old woman with a very broad lesion of reticular erythema
Twenty-one patients with invasive cutaneous malignant melanoma and 19 patients with basal cell skin cancer and 29 healthy volunteers were phototested on non-UV exposed buttock skin to examine their 24 h reaction to a series of increasing doses of simulated sunlight with 25% dose increments. Skin
The appearance of breast edema in the conservative approach of breast cancer is correlated with axillary dissection, and it is worsened by radiotherapy. In rare cases there are serious edema and erythema of the breast at the beginning of radiotherapy. We present a patient with edema and erythema of
