We describe a case of a 15-year-old African American girl with widespread papulonodular lesions of xanthoma disseminatum especially in the periorbital area and on the flexural surfaces of the neck, axillae, arms, and legs. There were no mucosal lesions. An initial trial in the distant past of liquid
METHODS
As xanthoma disseminatum and histiocytosis X share clinicopathologic features, difficulties in diagnosis can arise. The use of immunocytochemical markers for S100 protein, factor XIIIa, lysozyme, alpha 1-antitrypsin, for adherence of peanut agglutinin and of antibodies LN3 (HLA-DR), Leu-M1
We describe MRI findings in 13 persons with typical clinical, EEG, CT and biochemical features of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX). MRI showed brain (13/13) and cerebellar (12/13) atrophy and diffuse white matter hypodensity (4/13) presumably reflecting sterol infiltration with demyelination.
Systemic mast cell disease (SMCD) is a rare disease often associated with symptoms of general malaise, pruritus, diarrhea, vomiting, fever, urticaria pigmentosa, hepatosplenomegaly and lymphadenopathy. We reported a case of SMCD associated with cutaneous xanthoma and serum hyper IgE. Skin biopsy
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to determine the characteristic MR appearance of the xanthomatous tendons of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia and (2) to determine which of two imaging techniques, high-frequency linear-array sonography or MR imaging, is better for
Bone xanthoma is an extremely rare and benign tumor in terms of its nature and growth over time. We describe the first case coexisting with ventriculomegaly secondary to aqueduct stenosis (non-tumoral hydrocephalus), the second xanthoma of the clivus described to date. The patient was a 51-year-old
A 13-year-old adolescent boy with type 1 diabetes mellitus (1b) presented with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and cerebral edema. Grossly lipemic serum and lipemia retinals due to extremely high triglyceride (TG) level were observed without evidence of xanthoma or xanthelasma. Cerebral edema was
CONCLUSIONS
We report the serial MR findings and histologic features of intracerebral xanthoma in a patient with hyperlipidemia. MR imaging revealed nodule formations with variable degrees of edema and enhancement in the perivascular spaces. In some lesions, high-signal-intensity foci were observed
Xanthoma disseminatum is a very rare disease classified as a benign non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis, which is rarely associated with osteoarticular lesions. There is only a report of tumor abrasion during treatment of osteoarticular lesions of this disease, artificial joint Isotretinoin (13-cis-retinoic acid) is a retinoid that is used to treat cystic acne, comedonal acne, and other diseases. For the treatment of acne, isotretinoin is dosed at 0.5 to 2 mg/kg daily for 5 months with a target total dose of approximately 120 mg/kg. Its most common side effects are
Russell body gastritis was first defined in 1998, but not many cases have been reported since then. The exact causes and process of this condition are unknown yet; however, considering the reported cases, it has been highly suggested to have correlation with Helicobacter pylori infection. Russell
A variety of exfoliative cheilitis has been observed in reactive HIV-1 patients subjected to high activity antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The lesions exhibit exfoliation, crater formation, fissuring, erosions and/or the formation of papules, vesicles and blisters associated to erythema and edema.
Systemic manifestations of monoclonal gammopathies (MG) are rare but extremely varied. This general review focuses on the hyperviscosity syndrome, neurological disorders, skin changes, the POEMS syndrome, and biological manifestations, with the exception of amyloidosis AL and cryoglobulinemia. The
The female patient initially showed the acquired type of total lipoatrophy at about 8 years of age. At 12 years of age, the onset of diabetes mellitus was speculated from advanced pyodermia and dedentition. At 29 years of age, glucosuria was found, and she developed proteinuria, ascites, and
The skin plays a critical role in the detection of internal malignances. Cutaneous signs of these disorders afford clinicians opportunities for early diagnosis and treatment. We aim to succinctly review the recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of selected cutaneous paraneoplastic diseases. Skin
