Most popular medical Questions
What conditions are associated with congenital depigmentation of the skin?Congenital depigmentation, or albinism, constitutes a number of genetically inherited syndromes that are characterized by disorders of melanin synthesis and that may affect the skin, hair, and eyes. Generalized (oculocutaneous) albinism is often complicated by ocular abnormalities, including visual impairment, photophobia, and nystagmus. Piebaldism is a distinct form of congenital depigmentation that affects segments of skin. Patients with this condition often have a forelock of white hair, which is caused by a genetic mutation that differs from generalized albinism. Localized congenital depigmentation associated with a white forelock, heterochromia irides, and congenital deafness characterizes Waardenburg syndrome.
What is the likely diagnosis if a patient taking trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole develops an erythematous, sharply marginated, round lesion that leaves an area of hyperpigmentation upon resolution?
Fixed drug eruption. These 2-10 cm plaques, which may be solitary or multiple, are red to violaceous inflammatory reactions that occur after medication ingestion (commonly antibiotics), especially after trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and tetracycline. They are commonly mistaken for urticaria or erythema multiforme. The resultant hyperpigmentation helps to make the distinction.
Why are Spitz nevi and malignant melanoma often confused?
The Spitz nevus can appear suddenly and grow rapidly. Histologically, it has many features that can be mistaken for malignancy. It actually was previously referred to as benign juvenile melanoma. "Benign" is the key word for this red to brown, dome-shaped papule, which usually appears on the face or extremity. Clinicopathologic correlation is the key to making this diagnosis. It is essential that an experienced pathologist interpret the biopsy when a Spitz nevus is suspected. Melanoma in childhood has been misdiagnosed as Spitz nevi, and Spitz nevi have been misdiagnosed as melanoma.
What are the clinical features of familial dysplastic nevus syndrome?
The syndrome, which is also known as the familial atypical mole syndrome, is found in families who have acquired nevi that develop into melanoma. These nevi are 5-15 mm in diameter and are round to oval in shape. Furthermore, they have irregular and indistinct margins, exhibit variation in color within the same lesion, and have both macular and elevated components. They tend to occur in sun-protected areas.
In children with pigmented nevi, what factors increase the risk of melanoma?
Melanoma is rare during childhood. If there is a family history of melanoma or atypical moles, a history of severe sunburns before the age of 18 years, or the child has a giant congenital nevus, the risk is greater. Estimated risks vary for different-sized congenital nevi. The projected lifetime risk for a melanoma developing within a congenital nevus is controversial. For small congenital nevi, the risk is low. For giant congenital nevi, the risk is estimated to be 6-8%. Acquired nevi very rarely develop melanomas.
Describe the life history of hemangiomas.
Hemangiomas or, more specifically, infantile hemangiomas, are common benign vascular tumors. They are rarely fully developed at birth, but precursor lesions (an area of pallor, telangiectasia, or "bruise") may be detected on close inspection within the first few days of life. They may have superficial and/or deep components. Hemangiomas undergo a growth phase until the child reaches the age of 6-12 months, at which time the tumors start to involute. This process of involution occurs over several years at a rate of approximately 10% resolution each year. There still may be residual skin changes (e.g., skin redundancy, pallor, atrophy, telangiectasia) after the hemangioma has resolved. Plastic surgical intervention may be considered in selected cases. Because 90-95% of these tumors resolve spontaneously, it is important to avoid the temptation of early plastic surgery, cryotherapy, radiation therapy, or sclerosing agents, which can hasten resolution but lead to a higher likelihood of scarring.
Why is an infant with a vascular tumor and new-onset thrombocytopenia so worrisome?
This can indicate the development of the Kasabach-Merritt syndrome (or phenomenon), a life-threatening condition of rapidly enlarging vascular tumors and progressive coagulopathy. Platelets are sequestered within the lesion(s), forming thrombi and consuming coagulation factors. Ecchymoses may develop initially around the vascular tumor, but a disseminated coagulopathy with microangiopathic hemolytic anemia can result. Aggressive therapy (systemic steroids, vincristine, interferon alpha, and surgery) is frequently needed. Kasabach-Merritt syndrome is not caused by common hemangiomas of infancy but rather by two rare vascular tumors (Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma and tufted angioma).
