Background: Clinical and pathological criteria to distinguish drug-induced subacute lupus erythematosus (DI-SCLE) from idiopathic (I-SCLE) are controversial.
Objective: Aim of the survey was a retrospective analysis of a consistent number of iatrogenous and idiopathic SCLE cases, by means of clinical and histopathological investigation.
Methods: Eleven European University Dermatology Units collected all diagnosed cases from January 2000 to December 2016. Read More

Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) may be secondary to drugs, underlying infection, collagen vascular disorders, or malignancy. Drug-induced vasculitis contributes to 10% of vasculitic skin lesions cases usually developing within 7-21 days of treatment initiation. The present case highlights a report of LCV in a 59-year-old male with a history of paranoid schizophrenia on clozapine therapy. Read More

Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is a disorder characterized by neutrophilic inflammation that is predominantly limited to the superficial cutaneous postcapillary venules. This condition may be idiopathic or may have a defined cause. Rivaroxaban and dabigatran have been widely used as warfarin alternatives, because of their efficacy and safety. Read More

A variety of cutaneous abnormalities can be seen in patients with malignant diseases, some of which are infectious, with others representing direct involvement of the skin by the underlying disorder. Yet another group of lesions can be regarded as associated markers of the malignant process, and, as such, are termed "paraneoplastic." This review considers the latter collection of conditions, grouping them by the generic type of malignancy that is usually linked to the paraneoplasia. Read More

A 37-year-old male with chief complaints of vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea presented to our hospital in June 2017. A blood test detected increased inflammatory response, and a computed tomography scan showed that wall thickening extended from the terminal ileum to the entire large intestine. Bacterial enteritis was suspected because his household members developed infectious enteritis; however, his symptoms did not improve after antibiotic treatment. Read More

Skin manifestations of HSP are characteristic and include a non-thrombocytopenic palpable purpura of the lower extremities and buttocks. Rarely, HSP may initially present as or evolve into hemorrhagic vesicles and bullae. Read More

A case of Nicolau syndrome (NS) in a 36-year-old adult taking an unusual and devastating hyperacute irreversible paraplegia after an intramuscular injection of benzathine penicillin as a part of routine chemoprophylaxis of her rheumatic heart disease is reported. Although this syndrome is a considerably rare, iatrogenic and underappreciated dermatologic entity, we reiterate in this report, its extracutaneous systemic potential for a catastrophic neurovascular phenomenon and morbidity as well as its possible preventive measures. The apoplectiform onset of T10 flaccid areflexic paraplegia, with the cutaneous hallmark of "embolia cutis medicamentosa" was corroborated by magnetic resonance imaging evidence of centromedullary complete cord involvement from T10 to conus medullaris.

Erlotinib is a targeted anticancer therapy used for treating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation positive lung cancer in advanced stage as well as for other malignancies. The most common cutaneous side effect of erlotinib, are well documented; however the number of reports regarding cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis (CLCV) are limited. We report a case, a 58-year-old, 60 kg weight, non-smoking woman suffering of lung adenocarcinoma and brain metastases treated with erlotinib monotherapy with 150 mg/day dose, who presents cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis after 8 months of initiating the treatment.

Cutaneous and other vasculitides are specific inflammations of the blood vessel wall that can take place in any organ system of the body including the skin. Vasculitis has been traditionally divided according to the size of the vessel involved (small, medium, and large). Vasculitis is more of a reaction pattern rather than a specific disease entity.

Purpose Of Review: Autoinflammatory diseases (AIDs) constitute several disorders that share similar characteristics, clinical features, disease course, and prognosis. They are characterized by the presence of recurrent episodes of unprovoked inflammation due to dysregulated innate immune system in the absence of autoantibodies or infections. AIDs include periodic fever syndromes and other less commonly growing list of syndromes. Read More

Background: Multiple myeloma is a very heterogeneous disease comprising a number of genetic entities that differ from each other in their evolution, mode of presentation, response to therapy, and prognosis. Due to its more chronic nature and cumulative toxicities that patients develop from multiple lines of treatments, a number of symptoms are associated with multiple myeloma. However, the mechanisms responsible for the relationship between these symptoms and multiple myeloma currently remain unclear. Read More

Onset usually occurs in the fourth to sixth decades but possibly younger in patients with human immunodeficiency virus. Read More

Cogan's syndrome (CS) is defined by the combination of hearing loss, vertigo, and ocular inflammation of uncertain cause, and can be associated with variable vessel vasculitis. Vasculitic manifestations may include arteritis (affecting large, medium or small arteries), aortitis, and aortic and mitral valvulitis. Cutaneous manifestations including erythema, papules, subcutaneous nodules, and purpura sometimes occur; however, to date, only six cases have been histologically confirmed to have genuine vasculitis.

Atypical clinical and radiologic findings including multiple cavitary lesions in the lung and pleural effusion may lead to misdiagnosis or delay in diagnosis in these patients. We report a patient who was followed up in our hospital with rashes and, clinical and radiologic findings of necrotizing pneumonia in whom there was no response to broad spectrum antibiotherapy.
