Disorders of Transepidermal Elimination
نویسندگان
چکیده
ransepidermal elimination is a disorder in which T dermal stimuli profoundly effect the behavior and structure of the overlying epidermis. Briefly, there are two categories of disorders: the first are primary dermatoses and consist of elastosis perforans serpiginosa and reactive perforating collagenosis; the second group originates from alterations of dermal constituents in preexisting disorders which induces transepidermal elimination. Some examples are perforating granuloma annulare, pseudoxanthoma elasticum, sarcoid, lichen nitidus, and several others. The following is a review of the latter group.

متن کاملDisorders of transepidermal elimination. Part 1.
Transepidermal elimination (TE) is a mechanism whereby foreign or altered constituents can be removed from the dermis. This process involves unique morphologic alterations of the epidermis, which forms a channel and thereby facilitates extrusion of the desired dermal components. The phenomenon of TE may occur as a primary process characterizing disorders, such as elastosis perforans serpiginosa...

Perforating dermatoses (PD) represent a rare group of papulonodular skin diseases with a distinct central keratotic core. The core represents the transepidermal elimination of an altered dermal substance.1 Diagnosis is established via biopsy and histopathologic evaluation. Whereas primary PD are diseases chiefly characterized by transepidermal elimination, secondary PD are a group of unrelated ...

Membranous lipodystrophy represents a peculiar type of fat necrosis that is present in patients with various types of skin disease. It is characterized by the presence of microcysts and macrocysts and is lined by amorphous eosinophilic material with a crenelated arabesque appearance. These findings have been associated with lupus erythematosus, diabetes mellitus, erythema nodosum, trauma, etc. ...
