Abstract

Pustular psoriasis has different clinicomorphologic forms such as generalized, localized (mainly palmoplantar or acral), and annular. There are also few cases with a linear distribution pattern. We report a case of pustular psoriasis with a striking linear distribution probably related to Blaschko's lines. We suggest that linear pattern should also be considered among the morphologic variants of pustular psoriasis.

[Follicular mycosis fungoides (FMF): a rare disease].

Follicular mycosis Fungoides (FMF) was first described in 1924. Since the first description, 22 patients with this special form of mycosis fungoides have been published. Clinical features include epidermal cysts as well as follicular papules, nodules and hyperkeratoses. FMF can be confused with acneiform dermatoses. In most cases, infiltrated plaques typical for cutaneous T cell lymphoma are also present. Histology shows a monomorphic CD4+ T cell infiltrate. Treatment and prognosis are similar of those of classical mycosis fungoides. We present one patient with FMF and review the literature of all published cases.

Widespread biphasic amyloidosis: response to acitretin.

We report a patient who presented with an intensely pruritic rash, with hyperpigmentation of the whole back and multiple hyperpigmented and hyperkeratotic papules over his forearms and lower extremities. Histologically, he showed deposits of amyloid that reacted positively with monoclonal antibodies against cytokeratins. The lesions were resistant to antihistamines and corticosteroids. Treatment with oral acitretin was started and great improvement of the lesion was noted; the patient became asymptomatic. We review the literature on the effect of retinoids in cutaneous amyloidosis.
