Case Description

50-year old woman with this vascular pattern on both hips. All began 15 years ago. Since 1.5 years also underneath both breasts. The lesion is more macular than papular. Just itchy in summer, no pain. Biopsy showed no acanthosis, but unspecific perivascular mononuclear infiltrate (no #Darier's-disease). After infiltration of Adrenalin/Lidocain for punch biopsy the macules disappeared. Current medication: #Amlodipine and #Valproate any ideas?

Additional Cases

  1. Case with pruritus and telangiectasia
    Sx: pruritus (particularly neck and scalp); paraesthesia/dysesthesia; telangiectasia (ears, eyes, mouth, legs/ankles, nail/folds); subcutaneous nodules, cutaneous lesions; dusky redness; livedo reticularis; lymphadenitis (cervical/occipital nodes); constipation (punctuated by occasional loose, sometimes greasy stool); bowel habit changes; red, swollen ears; neck swelling; occasional swollen ankles; changes to oral mucosa (thickening); rhinorrhea.
    Occasional muscle/joint swelling or tenderness (but not weakness); minimally elevated CK; CRP, Aldolase, LDH—all normal; negative ANA; negative Myositis Ab.
    Images: 1, 4, and 5 — knee; Images 2 and 3 — neck and scalp; (Other lesions are round on forearms, lower legs, abdomen).

  2. Case of a 54-year-old male with erythematous skin lesions
    A 54-year-old male presents with a three-month history of gradually appearing erythematous skin lesions. On examination, livedo reticularis and tender erythematous subcutaneous nodules are seen on both legs. A biopsy of the lesions later demonstrates necrotizing vasculitis within the walls of medium-sized arteries.

  3. Case with a 28-year-old woman with pruritus over the lower back
    A 28-year-old woman presented with a 3-day history of intense pruritus over the lower back. Physical examination revealed multiple small vesicles, some clustered and others scattered, predominantly involving the lumbar region and the left gluteal area.

  4. Infant with pustules localized to the chin
    A 4-month-old male infant presented with skin lesions localized to the chin for the past 3 days. Physical examination revealed multiple small pustules with surrounding inflammatory signs on the chin.
