Epidermal and follicular calciphylaxis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A patient with secondary hyperparathyroidism due to chronic renal failure developed epidermal and follicular calcification without concomitant dermal calcification in the lesions of toxic epidermal necrolysis. We propose that the combination of keratinocyte necrosis and an elevated serum calcium-phosphorus product resulted in epidermal calciphylaxis.

Cutaneous calciphylaxis. An underrecognized clinicopathologic entity.
Calciphylaxis (CPX), an uncommon syndrome characterized, in part, by progressive cutaneous vascular calcification, is seen principally in the setting of renal failure-associated hyperparathyroidism and is difficult to distinguish histologically from other microvasculopathies. We assessed histologic specimens from 13 cases of clinicopathologically classic CPX of the skin and reviewed documented ...
متن کاملCalciphylaxis in peritoneal dialysis patients: a single center cohort study
BACKGROUND Calciphylaxis is a rare but devastating condition in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Most research in the field of calciphylaxis is focused on hemodialysis (HD) patients; however, data on calciphylaxis incidence, risk factors, and mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients are limited. METHODS In this cohort study, we examined data from adult patients who initiated PD ...
متن کاملPresence of transforming growth factor alpha and epidermal growth factor in human ovarian tissue and follicular fluid.
Intra-ovarian regulation of follicular maturation is modulated by various factors. Among these, growth factors are important local actors. We examined the immunohistochemical localization of transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha), epidermal growth factor (EGF) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) in 18 human ovaries. The concentration of TGF-alpha and EGF in follicular fluid was m...
متن کاملMultidermatomal nevus comedonicus: A case report
Nevus comedonicus is an uncommon variant of adnexal hamartoma and is considered a rare subtype of epidermal nevi. It was first described in 1895 by Kofmann who used the term “comedo-nevus”. It manifests as a group of closely dilated follicular openings with dark keratin plugs resembling comedones. Both unilateral and bilateral distributions are seen. The face is the most commonly affected site ...
متن کاملSodium Thiosulfate: An Emerging Treatment for Calciphylaxis in Dialysis Patients
Calciphylaxis is a rare but life-threatening complication seen in dialysis patients. We report a case with calciphylaxis and severe secondary hyperparathyroidism. Sodium thiosulfate (STS) was used for treatment in this case. The painful skin ulcers improved significantly soon after treatment, with a slight reduction in the calcium-phosphorus product. Total parathyroidectomy was carried out 6 mo...
