BA: bacillary angiomatosis CEAN: cutaneous epithelioid angiomatous nodule EH: epithelioid hemangioma KS: Kaposi sarcoma PyG: pyogenic granuloma INTRODUCTION Cutaneous epithelioid angiomatous nodule (CEAN) is a recently described rare vascular proliferation. Although this neoplasm is more commonly reported as a solitary papule or nodule on the trunk or extremities, eruptive patterns have been re...

A pyogenic granuloma is a prevalent inflammatory hyperplasia of connective tissue. These lesions develop as reactive tissue response to low-grade local irritation, trauma, and hormonal imbalances. Morphologically, it may present single exophytic nodule or sessile papule, with smooth lobulated surface, on pedunculated base. hemorrhagic range in size from few millimeters several centimetres vary ...

History of present condition.?He at first noticed one day on the thenar eminence of the right hand one small papule which rapidly enlarged into a vesicle and in three or four days' time burst leaving a raw ulcerated surface which healed up spontaneously after about a fortnight. The vesicle and the ulcer so formed were practically painless and devoid of sensation. Another vesiclc appeared on the...

Seabather's eruption (SBE) is an intensely itchy, papule-erythematous dermatitis that occurs predominantly in regions of the body covered by bathing costumes, after exposure to marine water. The planulae larvae of Linuche unguiculata scyphomedusae (thimble jellyfish) are the etiologic agent of the dermatitis, which is frequent in waters of Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico and Florida. The authors repo...

Halo neurofi broma is a rare benign tumor. In the past, 3 cases of multiple halo neurofi bromas and 1 case of a solitary halo neurofi broma have been reported. The neurofi broma is characterized by a skin-colored, dome-shaped soft papule or a nodule surrounded by hypopigmented macules. The pathogenesis of neuroectodermally derived tumors associated with halo phenomenon is still poorly understoo...

After few days he also noticed a few hypopigmented patches on his abdomen first. As the patient was not experiencing any trouble he neglected them thinking that they would disappear, but both the papules and the Hypopigmented patches began to sprea...

The pyogenic granuloma is thought to represent an exuberant tissue response to local irritation or trauma.Clinically these lesions usually present as single nodule or sessile papule with smooth or lobulated surface. These may be seen in any size from a few millimeters to several centimeters. Pyogenic granuloma of the oral cavity is known to involve the gingiva commonly (75% of all cases). Rarel...

Verruciform xanthoma is a benign, soft tissue lesion occurring on the orogenital mucosa. Presentation of oral lesions can be pink, yellow, or gray raised plaque or papule with granular, papillary, or verrucous in nature. There are many theories proposed for the etiopathogenesis of verruciform xanthoma. Clinical observations may be misguiding as the lesion resembles malignant and premalignant le...

The reaction to vaccination against smallpox is generally a trivial, short-lived affair. Complications are uncommon and, of these, generalized vaccinia is one of the least common. In true generahzed vaccima the lesions pass through the stages of papule, vesicle and pustule with little cropping, and the first lesions seldom occur earlier than the ninth day after vaccination. In most cases the di...

Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a well-recognized procedure for management of hepatocellular carcinoma. We present a 54-year-old man who presented with a periumbilical maculopapular skin rash that developed after an otherwise uneventful TACE procedure. A retrospective review of imaging was consistent with non-target embolization of the hepatic falciform artery (HFA). He was t...
