Cladophialophora bantiana is a neurotropic dematiaceous fungus which only rarely affects the skin. We report a case of disseminated cutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by Cladophialophora bantiana in an immunocompromised female who presented with multiple pyogenic granuloma-like nodules, dermatophytosis-like plaque, and subcutaneous cysts on the upper and lower extremities without systemic invol...

Osteoma cutis (OC) is a rare benign disorder where osseous nodules form in the reticular layer of normal skin. These nodules are formed by the deposition of lamellar bone and are characterized by osteocytes in the core and osteoclasts around the periphery. Interpretation of osteoma cutis cases has always been challenging especially using conventional two-dimensional (2D) radiographs, owing to d...

Background: Scrotal calcinosis is an uncommon lesion characterized by multiple calcific deposits within scrotal skin and often misdiagnosed clinically as epidermal cyst. Case: In this article, we described a scrotal calcinosis in a 19-year-old man in whom calcified nodules without evidence of epithelialized lining were seen both in dermis and within the bundles of dartos muscle. Additionally, t...

We report the case of a 42-year-old female with a 5-year history of rheumatoid arthritis treated with Rituximab and Azathioprine. Three months after the initiation of Azathioprine, the patient started with dry cough and noted the rapid development of multiple subcutaneous nodules on her right leg. CT scan of the chest demonstrates pulmonary nodulosis. Skin biopsy was compatible with rheumatoid ...

A case of facial primary nodular cutaneous amyloidosis is reported. This illustrates: the striking appearance of this unusual condition; the investigations appropriate to establish the diagnosis and to exclude underlying systemic amyloidosis or a condition which might contribute to amyloidosis; and the difficulty of successful management. Initial investigation failed to reveal any evidence of s...

Cytophagic histiocytic panniculitis (CHP) was first described in 1980. It classically presents with intermittent recurrent episodes of pyrexia subcutaneous nodules, pancytopenia and liver dysfunction, but most patients have in addition a multitude of other manifestations which confuse the clinical picture. Despite the variable clinical course, the disease is often fatal. Diagnosis is based on h...

INTRODUCTION Rarely, the dermatologistmay encounter a primary cutaneous pleomorphic sarcoma (also known as a malignant fibrous histiocytoma), an undifferentiated neoplasm thought to be of mesenchymal origin. These uncommon skin tumors typically manifest as tender subcutaneous nodules. In contrast to primary cutaneous sarcomas, we present a case of a soft tissue pleomorphic sarcomawithmultiple m...

Dupuytren's disease may present with well-defined subcutaneous cords or as more diffuse disease with involvement of the skin. Fasciectomy is the procedure commonly carried out for the full range of disease, but is associated with rates of recurrence of up to 66%. We reviewed 143 rays in 103 patients undergoing dermofasciectomy for diffuse disease with involvement of the skin. We found recurrenc...
