Phylloid hypermelanosis: an unusual form of pigmentary mosaicism.
In this issue, Oiso et al. [1] present an unusual case of pigmentary mosaicism. A 29-year-old man with mental deficiency had hypermelanotic macules arranged in a phylloid pattern. Cytogenetic analysis of peripheral blood lymphocytes showed 3 different aberrant cell types containing either a monocentric or a dicentric ring chromosome 13, or monosomy 13. Remarkably, no normal karyotype could be f...
متن کاملClinical patterns of pigmentary mosaicism - our experience
Pigmentary mosaicisms are nevoid diseases characterized by the presence on the skin of hyperor hypopigmented macules with particular clinical patterns. Occasionally they show association with extracutaneous defects that may alter the normal development of the affected person. We present a compilation of all the cases of pigmentary mosaicism evaluated at our Department in the past decade (Dermat...
متن کاملAsymmetry and skin pigmentary anomalies in chromosome mosaicism.
We report six persons mosaic for a chromosome anomaly. All were mentally retarded and dysmorphic. Unilateral or asymmetrical features were found in all cases, in one an unusual transverse terminal limb anomaly, and in the others various degrees of hemiatrophy of the left side of the body. Five of the subjects had skin pigmentary anomalies which were distributed in the lines of Blaschko. The abn...
متن کاملSkin pigmentary anomalies and mosaicism for an acentric marker chromosome originating from 3q.
We report on a 22 year old man with hyperpigmentation distributed along the lines of Blaschko in whom cytogenetic analysis showed mosaicism for an unusual supernumerary marker chromosome. The patient was of normal intelligence and was not dysmorphic. The marker was present in 30% of his lymphocytes and in 6% of his skin fibroblasts from a dark area, while fibroblasts from a light area showed a ...
متن کاملNeonatal Sepsis: An Update
Sepsis is the most common cause of neonatal mortality. As per National Neonatal-Perinatal Database (NNPD), 2002-2003, the incidence of neonatal sepsis in India was 30 per 1000 live births. Signs and symptoms of sepsis are nonspecific; therefore empirical antimicrobial therapy is promptly initiated after obtaining appropriate cultures. The early manifestations of neonatal sepsis are vague and il...
