Acrokeratosis verruciformis of Hopf - Case report*
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 54 year-old woman with a 3-year history of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) consulted us because of weight loss, fever and skin eruption. On physical examination, erythematous plaques with a pseudo-vesicular appearance were seen on the back of both shoulders. Histological examination was consistent with rheumatoid neutrophilic dermatosis (RND). After three days of prednisone treatment, the skin eruption resolved. RND is a rare cutaneous manifestation of seropositive RA, characterized by asymptomatic, symmetrical erythematous plaques with a pseudo-vesicular appearance. Histology characteristically reveals a dense, neutrophilic infiltrate with leucocitoclasis but without other signs of vasculitis. Lesions may resolve spontaneously or with RA treatment. This case illustrates an uncommon skin manifestation of active rheumatoid arthritis.

Non-familial Acrokeratosis Verruciformis of Hopf
Acrokeratosis verruciformis of Hopf is a rare genodermatosis with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. It is a disorder of keratinization, characterized by multiple, flat-topped, skin-colored keratotic lesions resembling plane warts typically observed on the dorsum of the hands and feet. Histopathologically, the lesion shows considerable hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, and papillomatosis, mim...
متن کاملAcrokeratosis Verruciformis of Hopf: A Rare Case Report
c Abstract: Acrokeratosis Verruciformis of Hopf (AKV) is rare autosomal dominant cutaneous dermatosis described by Hopf in 1931. It is presented at birth but may appear in early child hood; sometimes the onset may be delayed until fifth decade of life. It usually presents with multiple planar wart – like lesions, typically observed on the dorsal aspect of the hands and feet but may extend on to...

متن کاملTensor products of ideal codes over Hopf algebras
We study indecomposable codes over the well-known family of Radford Hopf algebras. We use properties of Hopf algebras to show that tensors of ideal codes are ideal codes, extending the corresponding result given in [4] and showing that in this case, semisimplicity is lost.
متن کاملTwo and Three Qubits Geometry and Hopf Fibrations
This paper reviews recent attempts to describe the twoand threequbit Hilbert space geometries with the help of Hopf fibrations. In both cases, it is shown that the associated Hopf map is strongly sensitive to states entanglement content. In the two-qubit case, a generalization of the one-qubit celebrated Bloch sphere representation is described.
