Abstract

Background: Infantile hemangiomas (IH) are the most prevalent benign tumors in children, predominantly in girls. Most IH cases do not require treatment due to spontaneous involution, but 10% of cases do require early treatment due to size, location, and complications. Purpose: This study tried to define the profile, clinical aspects, and therapy of IH in Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital, Banda Aceh. Methods: A descriptive approach using a retrospective analysis employing secondary data from the outpatient clinic's patient registration book. This study included all new cases of infantile hemangioma at the outpatient clinic general hospital between 2013 and 2021. Result: A total of 105 patients were involved in this study. The majority of IH patients (59%) were under the age of one year, with 64 female patients (61%) making the most visits to the pediatric clinic in 2017, 2018, and 2019 (77.1%). The most prevalent clinical features of skin lesions were nodules in 69 individuals (65.7%), and the most common site was the facial region (13.3%) in 44 patients. In 20 individuals, a combination of propanolol and oral corticosteroids was used as the most effective treatment strategy (19% ). Conclusion: Infantile hemangiomas is the most frequently reported benign tumor in children. Females are more likely than males to develop IH. The majority of IH is minor and normally resolves on its own without therapy. However, certain rare kinds of IH require clinician attention and systematic treatment.

Abstract

Background: Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) rarely occurs under 10 years of age. GPP is typically characterized by an eruption of generalized pustules accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fever for several days, malaise, and anorexia. Pustules are sterile, with a size of 2-3 mm, and spread over the trunk and extremities. This disease can be life-threatening; therefore, optimal therapy is required. Purpose: to report a rare case of GPP in childhood. Case: A 4-year-old girl with complaints of widespread red patches that spread to her neck, back, and hands, with red patches turning into streaks that are partially pus-filled and itchy. In almost all parts of the body, skin abnormalities were seen in the form of generalized erythematous plaques, well-defined borders, multiple pustules on the edges, and some plaques covered by thick scales and crusts. In the calculation of body surface area (BSA), the result is 44%, and in the calculation of generalized pustular psoriasis area and severity index (GPPASI), the result is 21.30. The patient was treated with combination topical therapy of 3% salicylic acid, desoximethasone cream 0.25%, momethasone cream 0.1% vaseline albume as emollients, and coal tar. Significant improvement was seen after 1 month of therapy. Discussion: GPP in children is a rare case. GPP is idiopathic and can be life-threatening. Until now, there has been no standard therapy that is considered the most effective and safe for children. Topical therapy may be an option.
