Many types of genodermatosis exist, with numerous modes of transmission. The development of molecular genetic methods, in particular the most recent sequencing techniques, can be used to identify an increasing number of genes involved in these forms of genodermatosis while providing confirmation or more details regarding clinical diagnosis. Thanks to this approach, it is possible to determine risk of recurrence and to formulate an antenatal strategy. Read More

Introduction: Radiation recall dermatitis is an uncommon inflammatory reaction of the skin appearing after several days to several years at the site of previous irradiation; it is precipitated by the use of triggering drugs, although rarely by BRAF or MEK inhibitors.

Patients And Methods: We report an unusual case of recall dermatitis induced 3 months after initiation of vemurafenib and cobimetinib therapy.

Discussion: Radiation recall dermatitis is a cutaneous reaction that must be known and which in rare cases such as ours may occur a long time after the end of radiotherapy. Read More

Background: Chilblains are inflammatory dermal lesions associated with hypersensitivity to cold, and they occur on the extremities bilaterally and symmetrically. Their onset during the course of pro-thermogenic and autoimmune diseases has been widely reported, but the association with predisposing locoregional causes is not well known.

Patients And Methods: Case 1: a 57-year-old man, who smoked 80 packets per year, presenting a deficit of the levator muscles in his right foot following lumbar sciatica with paralysis of L5, consulted for unilateral necrotic lesions of the toes recurring each winter in the paralysed limb only.

Since sexual satisfaction is a key factor in quality-of-life scores, the aim of this review article is to examine current knowledge concerning the impact on male sexuality of psoriasis, particularly genital psoriasis. Risk factors for sexual dysfunction, and more specifically erectile dysfunction, demonstrated to date include severity of psoriasis, genital psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, smoking, psychological disorders (anxiety-depression), cardiovascular comorbidities and side effects of psoriasis treatments. Studies evaluating the burden of genital psoriasis on male sexuality are contradictory: while the link between genital psoriasis and global sexual functioning has been clearly established in relation to question 9 of the DLQI, discrepancies exist between the scoring systems used concerning sexual satisfaction.

Some debate continues to surround the existence of neutrophilic urticaria (NU) as a nosological entity. Certain authors consider NU as a banal form of urticaria since an infiltrate predominantly made up of polynuclear neutrophils (PNN) is seen in certain cases of chronic and acute urticaria. Moreover, it has been stated that the histological appearance of chronic urticaria varies according to the time between appearance of the plaque and the performance of biopsy: the presence of PNN may occur later.

Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a parasitic infection caused by a flagellated parasite belonging to the genus Leishmania. In most cases, it is a zoonotic disease transmitted via a bite by bloodsucking sand-flies of the genus Phlebotomus.

Background: Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare genetic disease comprising 7 subgroups, A to G, all of which are associated with early onset of several forms of skin cancer. Our main objective was to determine the prevalence of skin cancers in a cohort of dark-skinned XP-C patients in Mayotte.

Background: The prevalence of psoriasis among patients presenting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)infection is the same as in the general population, but the disease is more severe and refractory, and management is more complex. The aim of this survey was to assess the practices of French dermatologists concerning both screening for HIV in psoriasis patients and therapeutic management and follow-up of psoriasis patients with HIV.

Patients And Methods: An anonymous national survey of practices was conducted by means of a questionnaire emailed to dermatologists in hospital in private practice in France between March and June 2017. Read More

Introduction: Prurigo pigmentosa is a rare inflammatory, pruriginous skin disease seen predominantly in young Asian women, with average age of onset in the mid-20s.

Observation: A 25-year-old fair-skinned European woman presented with a two-year history of pruriginous skin lesions recurring fortnightly. The initial lesions were inflammatory papules, which first emerged on the back of the neck before spreading to the shoulders, below the breasts and the back. Read More

Therapeutic progress in primary cutaneous lymphomas continues to be largely dominated by the T-cell lymphomas, towards which the great majority of recent therapeutic innovations have been directed. The latter include local treatments consisting either of relatively classical but "revamped" approaches involving different pharmaceutical forms (example: chlormethine gel) or else lower but seemingly equally effective dosages (electron therapy), or of more innovative approaches (example: UVA-1, dynamic phototherapy, imiquimod, resimiquimod). However, significant progress has been made chiefly in terms of systemic treatments with the emergence of "targeted" drugs that directly and specifically target tumour cells (monoclonal antibodies directed against CD30, CCR4 or CD158k) and the further development of "small" molecules such as histone deacetylase inhibitors and new cytostatics.

The porphyrias are a group of metabolic disorders resulting from an innate abnormality in haem biosynthesis, and the clinical settings of which vary according to the genetic enzyme abnormality in question. These are genetic disorders with autosomal dominant or recessive inheritance of varying penetrance, and whose clinical expression differs according to the preferential location of haem precursors. Different classifications have been proposed according to genetic inheritance, the enzyme anomaly at issue, and clinical expression. Read More
