Abstract

Background: Systemic sclerosis is a multi-systemic disease characterized by excessive fibrosis, inflammation, and vasculopathy. Common clinical features include skin thickening, telangiectasias, salt and pepper skin, beak-shaped nose, and microstomy. We report a case of ANA-negative systemic sclerosis in a male patient. Case illustration: Our patient presented with a 10-month history of diffuse hyperpigmentation, skin tightening and decreased mouth aperture, accompanied by digital ulcers, hypopigmented macules and violaceous discoloration of the digits upon exposure to cold temperature. Punch biopsy done revealed mild acanthosis of the epidermis with basal cell layer hyperpigmentation, vacuolar alteration and thickening of the basement membrane zone. ANA was negative. Anti-Scl70 was positive. Patient was treated with methylprednisolone which was tapered over a course of 1 month, with noted decrease in tightening of the skin. Digital ulcers and discoloration of digits upon exposure to cold temperature were no longer observed. Discussion: Diagnosis of systemic sclerosis is made on the presence of scleroderma proximal to the metacarpophalangeal joints, with two of the following minor criteria: sclerodactyly, digital ulcerations or bibasilar pulmonary fibrosis, as well as symptoms involving other organ systems; musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, respiratory, cardiac, and renal. Conclusion: While the presence of certain distinct features are needed in the diagnosis of systemic sclerosis, a distinct subset of the disease may be ANA-negative and may correspond to better prognosis. A thorough physical and diagnostic examination is needed in order to provide the optimum treatment for each patient. This would prevent systemic complications and further progression of the disease.

Abstract

Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin malignancy found in nonmelanoma skin cancer. There are multiple factors contribute to risks for BCC but the underlying mechanism is genetic alteration. The Sonic hedgehog (SHH) pathway is implicated in the etiology of the most common BCC. We reported BCC nodular type in the tip of nasal region with increase SHH. Case Illustration: 50 years old man, presented with hyperpigmented tumor on the nasal tip which easily bleed since 6 months ago. Dermatological examination: the tip of nasal region: a solitaire irregular immobile hyperpigmented tumor, with the size of 2x1x0,3 cm, pearly border with rubbery consistency. Dermoscopy examination found multiple blue-gray globule and telangiectasia feature. Histopathology examination found nodule and micronodule with palisade feature in the periphery and “slit like retraction” in central. Immunohistochemistry examination found more than 50% cell show SHH expression. Wide surgical excision was done with tumor margin 3 mm. Discussion: The hedgehog (Hh) pathway known have important role in embryonic development, that responsible for patterning development organ and tisuue. SHH is one protein ligand that most study and well known in Hh pathways. Conclusion: Activating SHH pathway can resulting in unrestricted SMO activity that causes uncontrollable cell proliferation and eventually carcinogenesis. Increased expression of SHH can be used as a marker in aggresivity of BCC.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of atopic dermatitis (AD) has rapidly increased in the past 4 decades and has been mostly observed in children. The prevalence of obesity has also significantly increased worldwide, suggesting that the two conditions may be associated. Methods: This retrospective analytic study involved a cross-sectional design and used secondary data taken from the medical record of patients who visited the Pediatric Dermatology Subdivision at Dermatology and Venereology Polyclinic Sanglah General Hospital from January 2015 to December 2015. Thirty-two samples were selected. Results: The prevalence ratio of obesity among subjects with AD was 2.178 (95% CI = 1.034–4.587; p < 0.05), which indicated a significant association between obesity and AD. This study also found a significant association between the history of atopy and AD, and the prevalence ratio was 2.566 (95% CI = 1.099–5.990; p < 0.05). The risk of developing AD among children with obesity was higher than that among children without obesity. Conclusion: Obesity and history of atopy were significantly associated with AD in children.

Abstract

Background: The incidence of skin cancer has been increasing over the past decades globally. At present, there is no valid national cancer data in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the increment of skin cancer cases at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital, Jakarta. Methods: In this retrospective descriptive study, we evaluated all pigmented skin tumor cases from June 2014 to June 2017. Data were obtained from the Department of Anatomical Pathology and medical records at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital. Data were compared with previous reports. Results: From 263 skin cancer cases, the most frequent skin cancer was basal cell carcinoma (BCC; 66.9%), followed by squamous cell carcinoma (SCC; 27.4%), and malignant melanoma (MM; 5.7%). Most of the skin cancer were predominantly in the female population. In BCC and SCC, most of the patients were within the age group above 60 years (n = 106 and 18, respectively). In MM, the incidence is greater in age group of 41–50 years (n = 5). For BCC and SCC, the distribution sites of lesions were mostly in sun-exposed areas, whereas the distribution sites of MM were mostly in non-sun-exposed areas. Median diameters of BCC, SCC, and MM were 2, 4, and 6.5 cm, respectively. There was an increase of BCC incidence from 1996 to 2017. Conclusion: In comparison with other types, the incidence of BCC in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital is increasing. A well-documented skin cancer registry is required to establish national data of skin cancer in Indonesia.

Abstract

Research has begun to illustrate a favorable efficacy and side-effect profile for many systemic agents used in pediatric dermatological conditions (i.e. atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, scleroderma, alopecia areata, chronic spontaneous urticaria, autoimmune blistering disorders, and hidradenitis suppurativa) despite not having extensive randomized clinical trials. The purpose of this article is to summarize the available data on the treatment regiments, safety, and efficacy of systemic immunosuppressants, including the newer biologics, focusing on the most up-to-date systematic reviews or randomized clinical trials. The review demonstrates that many of the present studies lack data on long-term efficacy and consist of small patient populations. Further research into the long-term safety of these systemic medications is of vital importance especially due to the chronic nature of most pediatric dermatological conditions that require the use of systemic agents.

Abstract

Background: Recent studies have suggested the relationship between diet and acne, and zinc plays a role through its anti-inflammatory mechanism. This study aimed to determine the association between zinc intake and serum zinc levels with acne severity. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the difference in zinc intake and serum zinc levels with acne severity based on Indonesian Acne Expert Meeting (IAEM) criteria. Sixty patients with acne in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital were selected. The effect of zinc intake on acne severity was analyzed via unpaired T test, whereas the effect of serum zinc levels on acne severity was examined with Mann–Whitney test. Data were further evaluated using SPSS 20.0. Results: Zinc intake in all the subjects was below the Indonesian recommended daily allowance, and the mean of zinc intake and serum zinc levels in the mild acne group was higher than that of the moderate–severe acne group. The zinc intake significantly differed between the mild and moderate–severe acne groups (p < 0.01). Likewise, serum zinc levels significantly varied between mild and moderate–severe acne group (p = 0.048). Conclusion: Although this study showed a significant difference between zinc intake and serum zinc levels with the severity of acne vulgaris, further follow-up studies should be performed to assess zinc for acne vulgaris therapy.

Abstract

Background: The use of prophylactic antibiotics in dermatologic surgery, particularly in Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), remains a gray area. Despite the low rate of surgical site infection (SSI), SSI can result in some significant morbidities. Thus, numerous dermatologists keep administering prophylactic antibiotics in MMS. Method: A search was conducted to identify clinically significant topics followed by literature review through the main available medical literature database. The three selected studies that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were then critically assessed for their validity, importance, and applicability using the guidance from Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine for Critical Appraisal of Prognostic Studies. Results: Three articles showed a low SSI rate with a narrow confidence interval (CI): 0.91% (95% CI: 0.38%– 1.45%), 0.7% (95% CI: 0.21%–1.19%), and 0.72% (95%CI: 0.5%–0.9%). Conclusion: Based on the available studies, we conclude that the absence of prophylactic antibiotics is not related to the SSI incidence.

Abstract

Introduction: Despite its rarity, nail involvement in Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) may show various clinical presentations. This study aims to show the roles of nail involvement in LCH patients as the diagnostic and prognostic clues.Case illustrations: We presented four cases of multisystem LCH in children which were already confirmed by skin biopsy with various nail abnormalities. We were able to perform nail biopsy in two patients and confirmed the nail involvement. Histopathological examination showed the infiltration of Langerhans cells characterized by indented/reniform nuclei and CD1a expressions. All patients had high-risk organ involvements. Discussion: Langerhans cells may infiltrate the nail bed, proximal nail fold, and nail matrix. Further infiltration may destruct the nail plate. Hypothetically, we suggest that the nail bed as the initial infiltration site of Langerhans cells. The different sites of involvement lead to different clinical presentation. Nail abnormalities may predict a poorer prognosis, as they mostly occur in patients with multisystem disease. Conclusions: Nails should be routinely inspected in the suspicion of LCH. The presence of nail abnormalities in LCH patients may predict a poorer prognosis.

Abstract

Background: Narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) become the mainstay of widespread vitiligo therapy due to its great efficacy and safety compared with other modalities. The use of NB-UVB for vitiligo has been widely studied in adult patients, while studies on geriatric patients specifically are still very limited. This report aims to show the immediate response after the initial treatment, side effects of therapy, and other problems that were encountered during therapy in two geriatric patients with vitiligo who have been followed up for more than 12 months. Case Illustration: We reported two geriatric patients with vitiligo treated with NB-UVB phototherapy combined with topical treatment for more than 12 months. The first patient was 68-year-old woman, with Fitzpatrick skin type IV, who had vitiligo on her face, both lower arms and hands, and both legs and feet. The second patient was a 61-year-old man with Fitzpatrick skin type IV who had generalized vitiligo. The first repigmentation occurred on the 5th session in the first patient and on the 6th session in the second patient, using a cumulative dose of 1223 mJ/cm2 and 1541 mJ/cm2, respectively. Discussion: After NB-UVB phototherapy, there was a great improvement on the face in both patients, followed by the trunk and legs. However, the duration of treatment needed to achieve homogeneous repigmentation is longer in geriatric patients than in the general population. Conclusion: NB-UVB was well tolerated and showed good clinical response to treat vitiligo in the elderly. However, little is known about the safety and efficacy of phototherapy in elderly patients with vitiligo.

Abstract

Background: Divided nevus, also known as “kissing nevus,” is a rare form of congenital melanocytic nevus that occurs on opposing margins of upper and lower eyelids. A paucity of literature on this rare anomaly exists, with most being case reports and series. Moreover, regression of this lesion was rarely reported. Case Illustration: We present a rare case of congenital divided nevus of the eyelid that regressed after eight years, confirmed with dermoscopy. A six-year-old boy presented to the Dharmais National Cancer Hospital with two pigmented macules on the upper and lower right eyelid since birth. A year ago, the lesions started gradually disappearing and were replaced by a hypopigmented area. We evaluated the clinical and dermoscopic findings for two consecutive years. The dermoscopy showed pseudopigment networks, surrounded by a hypopigmented area resembling a halo. The pigmented lesions cleared with no residual lesions. Discussion: The dermoscopic findings of the patient resemble a solar lentigo characterized by pseudopigment networks, a feature caused by the relatively flattened rete ridge on the face. The hypopigmented area reflects a regression process, like the halo nevus, and is accompanied by leukotrichia of the eyelashes, a feature usually found in patients with vitiligo. Regression of the divided nevus is related to an autoimmune process. A similar mechanism was also found in vitiligo. Since no atypical findings were present in this patient, we recommend only observation. Conclusion: Divided nevus is a rare case. We present a case of congenital divided nevus of the eyelid that regressed spontaneously. Clinical and dermoscopic findings of hypopigmented regression area were similar with vitiligo, which might share similar pathological mechanisms.
