Abstract

Background: : Lichen Amyloidosis (LA) is one of the most common forms of primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis, with clinical manifestations of itchy blackish brown hyperkeratotic papules. The most predilection site is the upper extensor of the legs. This case report aims to improve the clinician’s knowledge regarding clinical features and supporting examinations to the provision of appropriate therapy in LA. Case Report: A 57 years old farmer presented to dermatology and venereology outpatient clinic of Dr. Moewardi general hospital with itchy black spots on nearly all over his body since 2 years ago. Dermatology examination obtained generalized papules and scaly hyperpigmented patches. Dermoscopy revealed a scar-like center with a whitish color in the center. Histopathological examination showed an amorphous eosinophilic (amyloid) in the dermis. Congo red examination demonstrated a reddish-orange amyloid. We treated the patient with oral cetirizine 10 mg/day, desoximetasone 0.25% cream applied twice a day in the morning and in the evening, Carmed® cream 20% cream applied twice a day in the afternoon and night, phototherapy 350 MJ/cm2 twice a week. We observed for 14 weeks. The lesion and itching started improving in week 8. Result: Lichen amyloidosis is resulted from amyloid deposits in the papillary dermis which are derived from degradation of basal keratinocytes. The diagnosis is based on history taking, clinical examination, dermoscopy and skin biopsy. The combination of phototherapy and topical corticosteroid can be an option for LA therapy, especially for the symptom of pruritus. Conclusion: Lichen Amyloidosis is the most common type of primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis, presents as blackish brown hyperkeratotic papules. The combined therapy of topical corticosteroids and phototherapy can significantly improve pruritus and skin lesions.

Abstract

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common non-melanoma skin cancer, with varying clinical and histopathological manifestations. The infiltrative nature of BCC affects tumor aggressiveness and its prognosis. In Indonesia, data regarding the relationship between clinical characteristics and histopathological features of BCC are still limited. This study aims to analyze the relationship between clinical characteristics and the infiltrative nature in BCC patients at Dr. Moewardi General Hospital, Surakarta. A retrospective cross-sectional study used medical records and paraffin blocks of BCC patients diagnosed from January 2021 to February 2025. The evaluated characteristics included age, sex, anatomical location, lesion size, and histopathological subtypes. Histopathological features were analyzed based on infiltrative and non-infiltrative tumor characteristics. Of the 29 patients analyzed, the majority were female (55.2%) with a median age of 57 years. Most lesions were ?2 cm² (82.8%) and located on the middle face (75.9%). The dominant histopathological subtypes were nodulo-ulcerative (41.4%) and nodular (34.4%). Only 48.3% of cases were infiltrative. No significant relationship was found between clinical characteristics and the infiltrative nature of the tumor, emphasizing the importance of histopathological evaluation in determining tumor aggressiveness. These findings are essential for the development of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for BCC in Indonesia.

Abstract

Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a skin disorder that results from contact with an allergenic substance. Allergic contact dermatitis is most commonly caused by cosmetics and daily products. This case report describes a case of contact dermatitis caused by soap suspected of containing sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and fragrance with a positive patch test result. A 36-year-old man presented with complaints of hand skin redness, itching and scaling. A history of using dish and hand soap products was obtained. Dermatologic examination showed multiple erythematous patches with overlying squamous, xerotic skin suggestive of DKA. The patient underwent patch test examination with standardized materials and materials brought by the patient to confirm the diagnosis. The patient showed positive reactions to Sunlight® dishwashing liquid soap, Super pell® mop soap, wow® dish soap, calmic® hand soap, and so iln® liquid detergent. The diagnosis of BCC can be established based on anamnesis, physical, and anatomical histopathological examination. Diagnosis of BCC is accomplished by accurate interpretation of the skin biopsy results. Histopathological examination should be performed in cases of doubtful lesions, large tumors or ulcerations for which the diagnosis is uncertain and to assess surgical margins. Therapy for BCC is preventive and curative. Therapy selection depends on the patient's age and gender as well as the site, size, and type of lesion.
