Abstract

Cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa is a rare type of vasculitis that involves inflammation in small to medium-sized blood vessels, mainly targeting the skin. It affects people of all ages and significantly impacts both the skin and other organ systems. This case report aims to describe the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and therapeutic response. A 38-year-old man came with a two-week history of a red, non-itchy rash on both legs. A week before the rash appeared, patient experienced fever, sore throat, and stomach pain. His general condition was stable. Dermatological examination showed multiple palpable purpura on both legs, ranging from miliary to lenticular in size. Diascopy revealed non-blanching purpura, and dermoscopy showed a homogeneous pattern of multiple erythematous spots. Histopathology indicated a proliferation of blood vessels with enlarged endothelial cells, concluding with a diagnosis of polyarteritis nodosa. Patient was diagnosed with cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa and treated with methylprednisolone at 1 mg/kg/day, divided into three doses of 32 mg each, with tapering off every week. Clinical improvement was observed, and the skin lesions progressively resolved. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and corticosteroid therapy in the successful management of mild cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa.

Abstract

Pediculosis capitis is a common scalp infection, especially among school-aged children. It is caused by an infestation of Pediculus humanus var. capitis, a parasite from the Pediculidae family. This case study aims to describe the management of pediculosis capitis using oral Ivermectin. A case study was conducted on a 12-year-old girl with pediculosis capitis, presenting with itching, pain, and burning sensation on the scalp. Dermatological examination revealed the presence of eggs and adult lice. The patient was treated with oral Ivermectin for one week, and evaluation was done using the Scale and SALT Score. After one week of treatment with oral Ivermectin, the patient showed significant improvement. Symptoms of itching decreased, and no live lice were found during follow-up examination. Oral Ivermectin is effective in treating pediculosis capitis with good tolerance. This case study highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment in managing pediculosis capitis.

Abstract

Introduction: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the penis is a rare malignancy originating from the epithelial cells of the inner prepuce or glans penis. The most common feature is the presence of a visible and palpable lesion on the penis, which is accompanied by pain, discharge, bleeding, or foul odor. Case report: A 66-year-old man came to the skin and genital clinic of Adam Malik Hospital with complaint of a lump in the penis which had been getting bigger since 3 months ago. Since 5 months ago the patient complained of sticky and painful foreskin on the penis. There was no history of trauma or warts. The patient is not circumcised and a heavy smoker. Discussion: Not circumcised are one of the risk factors for an increased incidence of malignancy of the penis. SCC of the penis has a predictable pattern of metastases, with regional lymph nodes appearing first, followed by deep lymph nodes and then distant metastases. The results of the pathology examination showed the presence of cancer cells originating from the squamous epithelium that were still well differentiated. This examination can determine the type of cell, the degree of pathology, involvement of the corpora cavernosa, corpora spongiosum, inguinal lymph nodes to cancer-free determination at the proximal border of the penectomy incision. Conclusion: Penile cancer is a cancer that has many risk factors. Patients who have been diagnosed with penile cancer, the treatment chosen is a total or partial penectomy depending on the area of ​​the affected tissue
