Introduction: Reactive granulomatous dermatitis represent cutaneous reactions pattern that occur in the setting of a systemic trigger, including connective tissue diseases, arthritis, malignancy and drugs. We report a case in which an IGDR triggered by simvastatin Case report: A 68-year-old woman, with dyslipidaemia, presented with a 6 months history of skin lesions that developed after startin...

The histological discrimination of granulomatous cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) from reactive granulomatous disorders such as sarcoidosis and granuloma annulare (GA) may be difficult due to overlapping histological features. We analyzed the T-cell receptor gene rearrangement in sarcoidosis and GA to investigate the value of the detection of clonal T cells as an adjunctive diagnostic marker ...

To the best of our knowledge, we present here the first report of a case involving granulomatous pododermatitis caused by Fusarium proliferatum in a 10-year-old female cat. A cutaneous mass developed on the foot-pad of the right hind leg. Nodular granulomatous dermatitis with numerous macrophages and multinucleated giant cells containing cytoplasmic fungal structures were revealed on histologic...

Equine sarcoidosis seems to be an emerging problem. As more horses are referred for dermatologic disease, equine sarcoidosis should be considered in any case of exfoliative and/or nodular skin disease with or without systemic involvement, including generalized granulomatous disease affecting most internal organs. Multiple breeds are affected with mares being predisposed. Affected horses are typ...

A 57-year-old male was found to have papillary transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder and underwent a tranurethral resection of the tumor. He suffered from multiple asymptomatic red papules on glans penis after 9 th intravesical therapy with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG ). His left inguinal lymph node was enlarged and tender. The skin lesions were found to be due to suppurative gra...

Tattooing has been associated with a variety of complications including inflammatory and granulomatous reactions, transmission of infections, and neoplasms. We report a case of a 24-year-old male who presented with a 2-month history of an erythematous nodule involving a newly made tattoo on the right leg. An excisional biopsy was performed and the histopathological evaluation was consistent wit...

GSS: granulomatous slack skin PUVA: psoralen plus ultraviolet A therapy INTRODUCTION Granulomatous slack skin (GSS), a rare variant of mycosis fungoides, is characterized clinically by bulky, pendulous skin folds on flexural areas and histologically by elastolytic granulomatous infiltrates of clonal T cells. The monoclonal rearrangement of the T-cell receptor b and g genes can be demonstrated b...
