Pre-Eruptive Intracronal Radiolucency (PEIR) is seen as a radiolucent anomaly at coronal dentin of unerupted teeth. PEIR is often confused because of similarities with dental caries. Pre-eruptive intracoronal resorptions are typically observed as radiolucency in dentin tissue, and the lesions are close to the enamel dentin junction. Lesions are often coincidentally noticed on the radiographs of...

"Occult" or "hidden" caries refers to occlusal caries which is not diagnosed clinically because the occlusal surface appears ostensibly intact, and radiographs show radiolucencies in dentin. The prevalence of occult caries has been reported to range from 2.2% to over 50% of permanent molars. In spite of its relatively high prevalence, the etiology and pathogenesis of occult caries remain unclea...

BACKGROUND Eruptive xanthomas are benign skin lesions caused by localized deposition of lipids in the dermis. The lesions are generally caused by elevated levels of serum triglycerides that leak through the capillaries and are phagocytosed by macrophages in the dermis. Clinical manifestation varies from asymptomatic skin lesions to intense pruritus and tenderness. METHODS We present a case of...

INTRODUCTION Eruptive keloids are rarely described in the literature and are typically reported in association with a systemic disease. Because reports of eruptive keloids are sparse, the pathophysiology of eruptive keloids remains to be clearly explained. We report a case of a 77-year-old woman who had extensive eruptive keloids while taking letrozole for hormone receptorepositive infiltrating...

Finally, familial cutaneous collagenoma must be differentiated from two distinct types of eruptive collagenoma. Eruptive collagenoma type 1 is clinically and histologically similar to familial cutaneous collagenoma but without documented familial inheritance. Eruptive collagenoma type 2 presents cutaneous lesions smaller than those of familial cutaneous collagenoma and arranged on the extremiti...

In this review we summarize the characteristic features of multiple eruptive dermatofibromas based on an analysis of cases in the literature. Many researchers have reported multiple eruptive dermatofibromas diagnosed using the definition of "multiple" as the presence of at least 15 lesions. However, this criterion is arbitrarily chosen and might not be entirely valid for all cases. A more preci...

Sorafenib is a multikinase inhibitor FDA-approved for the treatment of advanced renal cell and hepatocellular carcinoma. Dermatologic side effects include hand-foot skin reaction, facial and scalp erythema and desquamation, splinter subungual hemorrhages, alopecia, pruritus, xerosis, keratoacanthomas, and squamous cell carcinomas. We report sudden eruption of melanocytic nevi diffusely in a pat...

Indeterminate cell histiocytosis is a very rare proliferative disorderof histiocytes which displays both langerhans cell histiocytosisand non langerhans cell histiocytosis immunophenotypic features.The majority of the patients develop multiple lesions which areclinically indistinguishable from generalized eruptive histiocytosis.We report a 14-year-old girl with multiple papules on the face,scal...
