A 30-year-old woman was referred to us with red and firm nodules on upper lateral aspect of left arm. These nodules were present for 15 years without pain but with intense pruritus.She reported uterine leiomyoma in the past, but family history for similar lesions was negative. Blood tests were normal, but pelvis ultrasound showed a large uterine leiomyoma.<...

A 64-year-old woman with hepatitis C was treated using combination therapy with peginterferon α-2a and ribavirin. After 3 months, she presented with raised nodules on her knees and elbows. After 8 months, she developed painful subcutaneous nodules on her forearms. We diagnosed sarcoidosis with both plaques and subcutaneous nodules associated with combination therapy with peginterferon α-2a and ...

Little is known about the factors affecting leather and skin traits in ostriches. The effect of age on physical skin traits of slaughter ostriches was consequently investigated. Forty skins representing slaughter ages ranging from five to 14 months were selected to represent means of the respective age groups with regard to skin size and slaughter weight. It was evident that leather thickness i...

A 3-year-old castrated male domestic short-haired cat was presented with nodules on the left nasal wing and the left earflap. Prototheca cells were found after excision biopsy of one of the nodules located on the left earflap. The patient cat was generally in good condition without skin problems. Prototheca wickerhamii was isolated from all 6 masses after they were surgically nucleated. The cat...

More than 90% of patients infected with cutaneous leishmaniasis live in Afghanistan, the Middle East, Algeria, Brazil, and Peru. Cutaneous leishmaniasis in Iran is caused by Leishmania tropica and Leishmania major. Most skin lesions evolve from papular to nodular, to ulcerative form with a central depression surrounded by a raised indurate border. Some lesions persist as nodules or plaques. Mul...

Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome is a sporadic disease with widely distributed dark blue papules and nodules and soft skin-colored compressible protuberances (rubber blebs) as well as large vascular malformations. Gasterointestinal lesions are documented by upper endoscopy and colonoscopy; hemorrhages from these lesions create irondeficinecy anemia. Other sites of visceral involvement are less c...

Introduction: Metastatic cutaneous and subcutaneous nodules are rare and late manifestation of an underlying malignancy. They indicate a poor prognosis and require an early diagnosis to offer some chance of survival. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is accurate and useful modality in early diagnosis of these lesions. Aim of this study is to find out efficacy of FNAC as an alternative to b...
