Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) has been reported as the cause of a kind of endogenous uveitis (HTLV-I associated uveitis; HAU). We observed a case of episcleritis in a HTLV-I carrier with pigmentary retinal degeneration. HTLV-I infection might be associated with the development of episcleritis and pigmentary retinal degeneration. Patients with episcleritis or pigmentary retinal...

The pigment dispersion syndrome is a relatively uncommon condition, occurring as a result of pigment loss from the posterior-pigmented epithelium of the iris, with subsequent redeposition of the pigment throughout the anterior chamber. Obstruction of the trabecular meshwork occasionally leads to pigmentary glaucoma, with increased intraocular pressure, optic nerve head changes, and visual field...

tological findings are different from our results. We had no evidence for other inflammatory skin diseases following Blaschko’s lines such as linear discoid lupus erythematosus or lichen striatus. Linear pigmentary disorders such as pigmentary mosaicism (naevoid hypermelanosis) or the pigmentary stage of incontinentia pigmenti were also excluded. The aetio-pathogeny of LAM remains unknown, but ...

Introduction Carney complex (CNC) is a disorder characterized by skin pigmentary abnormalities and benign cardiac,endocrine, skin and neuronal tumors. Areas of unusual lentigines are the most common presenting feature of CNC usually around the lips, eyes or genitalia increase in number at puberty. Cardiac myxomas may occur in any or all cardiac chambers, and leading to intracardiac obstruction ...

Melasma is a pigmentary disorder that is characterized by poorly defined, dark brown macules on sun exposed areas, such as the face, back, and arms. This hyperpigmentation condition affects millions of people worldwide, the majority of whom are women. In the United States alone, it is estimated to affect over 6 million people, including up to 40% of the US female population1. Melasma is more pr...
