Abstract

Vulvar lymphangioma is a rare case and often being misdiagnosed as genital wart. This acquired disorder manifests as dilatation of superficial lymph vessel due to obstruction. It is caused by urogenital infection and most often occurs following surgery and radiotherapy of cervical cancer. The diagnosis is established based on clinical and histopathological features. Treatment aimed to eliminate the cause of obstruction. This article reports two cases of vulvar lymphangioma found in our Hospital. First case was a 43-year-old female with a history of surgery and radiation for cervical cancer 10 years ago presented with vesicular skin lesion in genital area, oozing copious clear fluid since 4 years ago. There are multiple lenticular vesicles containing clear fluid in vulvar area accompanied with bilateral lymphedema of lower extremities. Histopathological features demonstrated dilated superficial lymph vessels. Second case was a 44-year-old female with enlargement of lower abdomen with vesicular lesion containing clear fluid in genital area since 3 years ago. Abdominal USG showed enlarged inguinal lymph node. Histopathological features demonstrated dilated superficial lymph vessels. The treatment for both cases were gradual electrosurgery. In both cases,vulvar dermis’ superficial lymph node dilatation caused the skin lesions. Obstruction of lymph vessel due to radiation and surgery for cervical cancer in the first case and of inguinal lymph node in the second case lead to increased lymphatic pressure in the dermis and later on the dilatations. The treatment in both cases using electrical excision produced good responses; however, we should be attentive on recurrent case.

Abstract

Background: Cutaneous tuberculosis refers to the clinical manifestation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis affecting the skin. Determining the type of cutaneous tuberculosis from a patient afflicted with is challenging because clinical and histopathological similarities exist between types. Moreover, confirming a diagnosis of cutaneous tuberculosis is difficult because of its similarity with other diseases. For instance, typical and atypical cutaneous tuberculosis may have similar manifestations, but each disease is managed by completely different approaches. Microbiological examination with polymerase chain reaction and bacterial culture are the gold standard methods used to confirm a diagnosis of cutaneous tuberculosis. However, results often demonstrate negative findings. Case Illustration: Five cases of cutaneous tuberculosis, which include two cases of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis, two cases of scrofuloderma, and one case of lupus vulgaris were presented in this article. Four of the five cases demonstrated significant improvement after initiation of an antituberculosis drug regimen. Discussion: Diagnosis of cutaneous tuberculosis in these cases was confirmed through clinical findings and histopathological and microbiological examination. Conclusion: A negative result following microbiological examination does not completely exclude the diagnosis of cutaneous tuberculosis. Investigating the pathognomonic findings of cutaneous tuberculosis through histopathological examination is important to differentiate among its types correctly. Therefore, correlations between clinical and histopathological results are essential to establish a diagnosis of cutaneous tuberculosis.

Abstract

Pioderma fasiale merupakan kondisi kelainan kulit yang jarang terjadi. Kelainan ini secara klasik ditandai dengan munculnya erupsi inflamatori berupa papul, pustul, nodul, bahkan kista pada wajah, terutama mengenai perempuan usia 15-46 tahun. Kondisi tersebut saat ini disebut sebagai rosasea fulminan, suatu varian rosasea yang berat dengan etiologi yang belum diketahui jelas sampai sekarang. Diduga terdapat hubungan antara pioderma fasiale dengan faktor imunologi, hormonal, dan vaskular. Dilaporkan satu kasus yang sepengetahuan penulis belum pernah dilaporkan di Indonesia. Perempuan usia 15 tahun dalam terapi lupus eritematosus sistemik, datang dengan erupsi pustul multipel di atas plak eritematosa disertai beberapa telangiektasis pada wajah. Kondisi ini awalnya dipikirkan sebagai suatu pioderma yang membaik dengan antibiotik sistemik  amoksisilin/asam klavulanat, namun mengalami rekurensi. Kultur dari pustul tidak didapatkan pertumbuhan isolat bakteri, dan biopsi jaringan menunjukkan sebukan sel polimorfonuklear di sekitar pembuluh darah, jaringan interstitial, dan folikel rambut. Pasien kemudian diterapi dengan kombinasi asam retinoat dan eritromisin topikal yang memberikan respons sangat baik dalam 3 minggu sejak dimulainya terapi.

Abstract

Background: Hair loss is a normal experience, but if the amount of hair loss exceeds what is considered normal, it will usually cause anxiety for the patient. In Indonesia, almost every Muslim woman wears a hijab. The hijab is one of many factors believed to cause hair loss. Telogen effluvium (TE) itself is a hair cycle disorder in which the anagen phase terminates prematurely, resulting in diffuse club hair loss without scarring, and TE itself has many risk factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the incidence of TE in women who wear hijabs and those who do not. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from August 2019 to April 2021 involving 188 healthy women aged 18 years and over who had not yet reached menopause. In the hijab group, it was determined that they should wear a minimum of 8 hours a day for at least 5 years. The test was carried out on hair that had not been washed using a trichogram, to look for hair characteristics in each group (hijab-wearing and non-hijab-wearing). Analysis of the data obtained was carried out using the Chi-square test and odds ratio. Results: Telogen effluvium was higher in subjects wearing hijab (26.8%) than in subjects who did not wear hijab (18.1%), (p-value 0.040, OR 2.036). Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between TE in women who wear hijab compared to those who do not. Further studies should be conducted in other populations with a larger sample size to confirm these results.

Abstract

Background: Culture and histopathological examination are gold standards for diagnosing onychomycosis. However, these examinations are subject to several limitations. Dermoscopy has the potential to become a promising diagnostic tool for onychomycosis. Direct examination of potassium hydroxide (KOH) also has advantages similar to dermoscopy. Knowing the accuracy of both examinations can help clinical decision-making. Our objectives are to assess the diagnostic value of dermoscopy, KOH examination, and their combination for distal lateral subungual onychomycosis compared to culture or histopathology. Methods: This was a cross-sectional diagnostic study of nails with suspected distal lateral subungual onychomycosis. Sixty nails were included in this study. Results: The sensitivity and specificity of the KOH examination were 89.6% and 66.7%, respectively. On dermoscopy, the sensitivity of jagged-edge-with-spikes, longitudinal striation, and discoloration were 89.6%, 93.8%, and 97.9%, respectively. Only the aurora borealis dermoscopic feature provided good specificity (91.7%). The positive predictive values of these four dermoscopic features were 75.0%–79.7%. Combination with KOH examination increased the positive predictive value of dermoscopy (90.9%–92.7%). Conclusion: Since they were superior in terms of sensitivity, dermoscopy and KOH examinations are good screening tools to determine which suspected onychomycosis cases need further examination. Additionally, an increased positive predictive value was observed when the two examinations were combined. Hence, these procedures can help establish a diagnosis in settings where mycologic examinations are unavailable.
