Abstract

Background: Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by photosensitivity, cutaneous pigmentary changes, and malignant tumor development at an early age. The basic defect underlying the clinical manifestations is nucleotide excision repair defect, leading to defective repair of ultraviolet (UV)-induced DNA. XP patients who are younger than 20 years of age have more than 1000-fold increased risk of developing malignant neoplasms of the skin, which commonly include squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, fibrosarcoma, and malignant melanoma. Malignant melanoma arises in only about 3% of XP patients. Purpose: To report a case of malignant melanoma in a child with XP. Case: A 7-years-old girl presented with multiple hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation macules since age of two, throughout the body, more on sun-exposed areas. The physical examination showed solitary tumor extensive ulcero- proliferative surface with areas of hemorrhage and blackish pigmentation on the vertex region. Histological examination revealed a feature of nodular malignant melanoma, and the condition became worse after she underwent two cycles of chemotherapy. Discussion: Despite the rare occurrence, the nodular type of malignant melanoma in XP patients is the most aggressive and responsible for the fatal condition. Conclusion: Early detection of XP is necessary due to its fast-growing nature and high metastatic possibility as well as mortality index.

Abstract

Background: Fractional Carbon Dioxide (CO2) LASER has better efficacy compared to conventional LASER in treating scar tissue such as acne scars, keloids, and striae albae. However, a population with darker skin has a higher risk of side effects, especially in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and side effects of fractional CO2 LASER in new patients with acne scars, keloids, and striae albae in the Dermatovenereology outpatient clinic. Methods: Retrospective analysis was done on 42 medical records of patients who met the inclusion criterion, which was those who have undergone fractional CO2 LASER treatments. The efficacy and side effects of the therapy were identified and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17 program. Result: A total of 42.9% of patients underwent fractional CO2 LASER treatments for acne scars, while 31% and 26.1% of patients received treatments for keloids and striae albae, respectively. There was a statistically significant decrease in the degree of acne scar (2.72 ± 0.83), keloid height (2.2 ± 0.405), and striae width (0.39 ± 0.02). The statistically significant side effects were hyperpigmentation (59.5%), crustae (26.2%), erythema ≥ for 4 days (19%), and new acne (19%). Conclusion: Fractional CO2 LASER was effective for treating scar tissue (acne scars, keloids, and striae albae) with a higher incidence of side effects in population with darker skin and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Abstract

Background: Infantile hemangioma (IH) is the most common benign tumor in infancy. Most IHs resolve spontaneously and do not require treatment. Therapeutic intervention is necessary for life-threatening IH, tumors posing functional risks, ulceration, and severe anatomic distortion, especially on the face. Beta-blockers, most specifically propranolol, have been shown to induce involution of IH, which should be administered as early as possible to avoid potential complications. Purpose: To report a case of IH with visual impairment treated successfully using oral propranolol. Case: A 4-month-old girl weighing, 6.3 kg, with redness plaques on the right face since 3 weeks after birth. The lesions rapidly increased in size within 2 months, and the lesions on her right eyelid made it difficult to open her right eye. Dermatological examination showed erythematous plaques, compressible and varying in size and ptosis. The patient was diagnosed with periocular infantile hemangioma and was given oral propranolol therapy with an initiated dose 3x1 mg. The dose was increased gradually. The lesions were significantly decreased and she could open her right eye normally after 5 months of propranolol therapy. Discussion: Some cases of IH require early treatment. Early treatment is indicated for IH causing functional impairment. The use of propranolol in the management of IH is very effective in the reduction of the lesions and Has minimal side effects. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and intervention with propranolol for IH play an important role in determining the optimal outcomes.
