Generalized granuloma (GA) is an inflammatory benign cutaneous disease of unknown etiology that may manifest different clinical features. The most common presentation or classic form of the disease is flesh colored, annular, grouped papules. They usually are on the extremities especially on the lateral or dorsal surfaces of the fingers, hands, wrists, ankles, and insteps. Several clinical manifestations have been reported for this disease. Variants, such as localized, generalized, subcutaneous, linear, perforating and patch GA, have been reported. The generalized form may present as either disseminated, individual, usually skin-colored papules arise anywhere on the skin surface especially trunk, or annular to circinate erythematous lesions that resemble erythema multiform, erythema migrans, erythema annulare centrifugum and erythema gyratum repens. In latter group, the popular quality is less obvious than the erythema. In these lesions, rings may spread centrifugally and central hyper pigmentation may be present. This report describes a case of generalized GA in a 46-year-old diabetic woman with annular and circinate erythematous plaques resembling erythema annulare. At first according to clinical and histological findings, diagnosis of erythema gyratum repens had been suggested but later, GA was confirmed.

Although night sweating is a common outpatient complaint medical, literature on this subject is scarce. Tuberculosis, brucellosis and lymphoma are diseases in which night sweating is a dominant symptom, but these are infrequently found to be the cause of night sweats in modern practice. While these diseases remain important diagnostic considerations in patients with night sweats, other diagnosis to consider include human immunodeficiency virus infection, gastroesphageal reflux disease, obstructive sleep apnea, hyperthyroidism, hypoglycemia, and several less common diseases. Anti-hypertensive, antipyretics, and other medications such as drugs of abuse including alcohol and heroin may cause night sweats. Serious causes of night sweats can be excluded with a thorough history taking, physical examination, and appropriate laboratory and imaging studies.

Tufted angioma is an uncommon vascular benign tumor of infancy or early childhood with slow and indolent growth. We report the case of a four-year-old boy with an asymptomatic annular lesion over the nape of the neck resembling granuloma annulare. Punch biopsy revealed multiple scattered vascular lobules or tufts. Aggregates of closely packed, dilated to compressed vascular spaces with plump endothelial cell lining were seen in the dermis, confirming the diagnosis of tufted angioma. Immunohistochemical positivity was present with CD31 and CD34 staining of endothelial cells. It is a slow-growing tumor; Kasabach–Merritt syndrome (KMS) and consumptive coagulopathy are rare complications. Blood coagulation profiles were within normal limits. In our case, the lack of reliable distinguishing characteristics of the vascular tumor and atypical annular presentation was a source of diagnostic confusion. Tenderness, typically present in tufted angiomas, was absent in our patient. This unusual case illustrates that clinicians should recognize an annular configuration as an atypical manifestation of tufted angioma.

Background and aim: Improvement of wound healing in normal subjects and in chronic ulcers has been always desired. The availablity and acceptability of herbal medicine led us to study the effect of topical 10% mucilage of quince seed in human skin.Materials and Methods: This double-blind clinical trial has been conducted on 34 patients referring to Imam Hospital, clinic of dermatology for elective surgery or excisional biopsy of benign lesions. The patients were divided into 3 groups and their lesions were treated with either 10% quince mucilage or eucerin or left untreated. The wound surface was measured on the days 0, 3, 5, 7, 14 and 20. The data were analyzed by ANOVA.Results: The mean duration of complete healing was 10.72 days in quince mucilage, 15.62 days in eucerin, and 16.7 days in untreated group (P<0.05).Conclusion:10% quince mucilage ointment improved wound healing. Further and larger studies are needed to evaluate the quince mucilage effect and its possible application for patients suffering form chronic ulcers.

Background: Prolactin, a neurohormone, can act as a stimulator of immunity in a number of autoimmune diseases and its high levels have been shown in these diseases. Objective: This study was designed to discover the possible role of prolactin in autoimmune blistering skin diseases. The main goal was to compare the serum prolactin levels and the frequency of hyperprolactinemia in autoimmune skin patients with a control group. Patients and Methods: Serum prolactin levels were measured in 44 patients with autoimmune blistering skin diseases and 44 age and sex matched normal persons. Results: The mean serum prolactin level was higher in the patients group than the control group (13.7 ng/ml vs. 8.4 ng/ml). Seven of 44 patients (16%) had hyperprolactinemia, which was significantly higher than control group (P=0.006). Conclusion: According to this study a higher frequency of hyperprolactinemia was observed in patients suffering from autoimmune blistering diseases in comparison with a control group.

Background and objective: Peel oil and juice of citrus fruits have furocoumarin (Psoralen) that can induce phytophotodermatitis. If the reaction is mild, then only hyperpigmentation (Without itching, burning, erythema, vesicle and bullae, formation) may occur. The objective of this study was to describe the patients with hyperpigmentation of back of the hands. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two patients with hyperpigmentation of back of hands (Especially between fingers) referred to a dermatologic clinic in Jahrom from 31 December to May 6, 2004, were studied. Results: All of these patients were female and their mean age was 21.4 years. Patients did not complained of itching and burning and there was no history of erythema, vesicle or bullae formation before appearance of hyperpigmentation. 31 patients (97%) took sour orange juice with hands. Out of them, 16 patients (50%) took a lot sour orange juice several days (With mean tine of 7.6 days) before appearance of hyperpigmentation, 8 patients (75%) took only sour orange juice intermittently and 7 patients (22%) took intermittently rough lemon and orange juice in addition to sour orange and only in one patient (3%), the lesions developed about one week after taking rough lemon juice with hands. Conclusion: Phytophotodermatitis secondary to contact with citrus fruit juice may result in hyperpigmentation of back of the hands.

Background and aim: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis is a relapsing disease with typical ulcers that involve the oral mucosa. The objective of this study was to determine the microbial flora and pH of mouth in patients during and between disease relapse.Materials and Methods: Patients were selected by simple non-random sampling. Totally 28 patients were included in this study. After filling out a questionnarie, patients were referred to the laboratory and a sample from oral ulcer was obtained and cultured in both aerobic and anaerobic media. PH of mouth was measured by pH meter. Same process was repeated two weeks after remission.Results: Considering non-group A Streptococci and gram positive bacteria, there were no changes in oral flora culture in aerobic environment in relapse and remission time. Staphylococcus aureus growth was seen in aerobic environment in 3(10.7%) patients in relapse and in 2 (7.1%) in remission which was not statistically significant. There were not considerable changes in group A Streptococci in remission and relapses and also in gram negative bacilli. But in anaerobic cultures there was considerable increase of non-group A Streptococcus in relapse and remission (71/4%, in relapse and 39.3% in remission, P<0.01). There were not specific changes in other bacteria. There was higher oral pH in 53.3% of patients, lower pH in 20% and no change in pH in 26.7% of patients during active phase of disease.Conclusion:There is considerable increase in non-A Streptococcus and increasing oral pH in majority of patients with aphthous stomatitis in relapse time.

Background and aim: Cicatrical alopecia refers to lesions associated with permanent destruction of hair follicles. Several diseases such as folliculitis decalvans, lichenplanopilaris (LPP) and discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) may result in cicatricial alopecia. Since cicatricial alopecia is scarring and affects both the appearance and psychosocial behaviours of the patients and also it can be an alarming sign of some systemic diseases, making an early diagnosis and proper treatment can prevent progression and further complications. The aim of this study was to determine the epidemiologic and clinicopathologic characteristics of cicatricial alopeica.Materials and Methods: A total of 100 patients with cicatricial alopecia were selected from those referred to the skin clinic of Sina hospital in Tabriz for further assessment from 1997 to 2004. Their disease was pathologically proven. All epidermiologic and clinicopathologic data were obtained through questionaires. The results were analysed by means of descriptive statistical methods.Results: Fifty-two of hundred patients were male and 48 were female. The highest incidence rate was found in 3rd, 4th and 5th decades of life. The underlying diseases in descending order were: 30% (24 male, 6 female) had folliculitis decalvans, 25% (10 male and 15 female) had DLE, 18 ( 6 male, 12 female) pseudopelade of Brocq, 14% (4 male and 10 female) had LPP, 8% (4 male, 4 female) had morphea and 5 (4 male , 1 female) had keloidalis folliculitis. From a histo-pathologic point of view, lymphocytic cicatricial alopecia was more common among middle aged women (65%) whereas the neutrophilic type was more prevalent among middle aged men (35%). The ratio of lymphocytic to neutrophilic cicatricial alopecias was 2/1.Conclusion: Considering the high incidence of cicatricial alopecia, early stage diagnosis by biopsy and proper treatment will reduce further progression and especially alleviate psychosocial disturbances.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a heterogenous group of inherited disorders of connective tissue characterized by fragility of the skin and blood vessels, hyperextensibility of the skin and joint hypermobility. Cutis laxa is characteized clinically by lax, pendulous skin and histologically by loss of elastic tissue in the dermis. There are some reports of coexistence of cutis laxa with other disorders. We present a case of classic EDS with cutis laxa in an Iranian family.

A 43-year-old middle-eastern woman was visited with a 15-year history of multiple painful cutaneous nodules on her back. The first lesion appeared on her back when she was 28 years old. As she aged, the lesions became larger, more numerous, and more painful with cold or physical contact. Her medical history was not significant. The patient’s medications included naproxen, calcium-D, and vitamins. Her family history was notable as her brother had developed similar cutaneous lesions. Physical examination revealed more than 30 pinkish papules, measuring up to 1 cm in diameter, in a grouped arrangement on her back (Figure 1). The complete blood cell count, serum chemistry profile, and serum erythropoietin levels were within normal limits. Abdominal ultrasonography was normal. A skin biopsy specimen was obtained from a nodule on her back (Figure 2).

Case: A 47-year-old Iranian man presented with a 3-month history of painful extremities lesions. The lesions began with an erythematous papule that progressively enlarged and ulcerated. His left calf was the first site of involvement. At the time we visited him, there were necrotic painful violaceous skin ulcers with a symmetrical distribution involving lower parts of distal limbs and his left thigh. He had a 10-year history of hypertension and a 5-month history of peritoneal tuberculosis. Recently, he received dialysis due to End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). He had received medications such as Furosemide, Omeprazol, Isoniazid, Ethambutol, Rifampin and Pyrazinamide from 5 months ago. Physical examination showed a cachectic middle aged man in distress because of severe pain. His abdomen was distended, but no ascitis or organomegaly was detected. The pedal pulse was absent. Large multiple ulcers with surrounding erythema and induration, some with dark eschar, were seen on his calves, thighs and left hand (Figure 1). Some of his toes and two fingers of his left hand were gangrenous. A hand x-ray and a skin biopsy from the newest lesion were obtained. Some soft tissue opacities were seen in the hand x-ray (Figure2).

Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is an autoimmune blistering disease presenting in endemic and sporadic forms. The typical presentation is recurrent shallow erosions in a seborrheic distribution. PF has also been found in association with autoimmune diseases such as autoimmune thyroid disease (e.g. toxic nodular goiter and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis). In some patients, PF appears to be triggered by radioiodine therapy.

Pemphigus is a chronic blistering mucocutaneous disease, classified in immunobullous skin diseases. Infections, particularly septicemia due to Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeroginosa are the most common and dangerous disorders due to immunosuppressive therapy in this disease. Infection with nocardia is rare, so that only 6 cases have been reported yet. Herein, we report a 56-year-old man with one-year history of pemphigus treated with prednisolone and cyclophosphamide, who at the same time developed skin and pulmonary nocardiosis. He had a good response to treatment with cotrimoxazole.
