Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous inflammatory disease that primarily affects the lungs and skin. Cutaneous involvement occurs in approximately 30% of cases. We report herewith a rare case of a 55-year-old man with chronic, non-healing bilateral leg ulcers, ultimately diagnosed as ulcerative cutaneous sarcoidosis through histopathological conf...

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the leading endocrine disorder in young women of childbearing age. Dermatological issues, particularly acne, are a major reason for medical consultations. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of PCOS in patients presenting with acne as their main dermatological complaint and to compare the metabol...

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the leading endocrine disorder in young women of childbearing age. Dermatological issues, particularly acne, are a major reason for medical consultations. This study seeks to establish the prevalence of PCOS among patients with acne and to compare the metabolic and hormonal clinical characteristics...

Key clinical Message Clown nose‐like lesion can be the manifestation of inflammatory, infectious or neoplasm‐related diseases, and some genetic syndromes. Lung carcinoma metastasize rarely to the skin. To our knowledge, 16 cases of lung cancer metastasis with clown nose‐like lesions have been reported. Here, we describe a new case. Abstract Cutane...

Background Porokeratosis (PK) is a group of rare acquired or inherited clonal keratinization disorders characterized by annular or linear hyperkeratotic plaques with central atrophy and raised borders. Cornoid lamella is the common histological feature between PK forms. Genes of the mevalonate pathway are implicated in the pathogenesis of this path...

Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) is a rare autosomal recessive inherited syndrome caused by mutations in autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene. The three clinical components of this syndrome are mucocutaneous candidiasis, hypoparathyroidism, and primary adrenal insufficiency. In addition to these frequent symptoms,...

A woman in her 20s, with no pathological history, presented with brown and verrucous plaques, which had developed over a period of 3 years, on her face. Physical examination revealed thick, yellow-brown, hyperkeratotic plaques, which were easily detachable (Fig. 1a). Mucosal examination identified severe periodontitis with a lack of oral hygiene. F...

Necrobiosis Lipoidica (NL) is a rare granulomatous skin condition typically occurring in lower extremities. We report an atypical case of NL, and we highlight the role of dermoscopy in the diagnostic approach.

Introduction L’érysipèle est une dermo-hypodermite aiguë, infectieuse non nécrosante, essentiellement streptococcique. Peu de travaux portent sur sa localisation faciale. Le but de notre travail est d’étudier les caractéristiques des érysipèles de la face (EF). Patients et méthodes Nous avons mené une étude rétrospective des cas d’EF diagnostiqués...

Introduction La différenciation entre la vasculopathie livedoide (VL) et la périarthrite noueuse cutanée (PAN) cutanée est parfois difficile nécessitant une confrontation clinico-histologique et de nombreuses explorations biologiques. Nous rapportons un cas de VL mimant histologiquement une PAN cutanée et bien contrôlée par les anticoagulants. Obs...

Introduction Le pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) est une dermatose neutrophilique ulcérative rare, qui s’associe volontiers à des pathologies internes, essentiellement digestives, rhumatismales et hématologiques. L’association du PG à un déficit immunitaire est rarement décrite. Nous rapportons 3 cas de déficit immunitaire commun variable (DICV) et 1 cas...

Introduction Le lupus érythémateux cutané (LEC) inclue un large spectre de manifestations, classées en 4 sous-types : aigu, subaigu, chronique et LEC intermittent. Le LEC chronique, en particulier, est subdivisé en plusieurs sous-classes, dont le lupus discoïde, le lupus tumidus, le lupus verruqueux, le lupus à type d’engelures et la panniculite lu...

Introduction La sarcoïdose est une granulomatose systémique dont l’atteinte cutanée est fréquente et variée, présentant 20 à 35 % des cas. Il est primordial de bien la reconnaître vue qu’elle peut révéler la maladie tout en étant un site aisément accessible à la biopsie. Notre étude a pour objectif d’étudier le profil épidémio-clinique, paracliniqu...

Introduction Le lupus érythémateux discoïde est la forme la plus fréquente de lupus érythémateux cutané chronique. Notre étude a pour objectif d’étudier le profil épidémio-clinique, paraclinique et évolutif du lupus discoïde. Patients et méthodes Nous avons mené une étude rétrospective dans les services de dermatologie et de médecine interne, coll...

Necrobiosis Lipoidica (NL) is a rare granulomatous skin condition typically occurring in lower extremities. We report an atypical case of NL and we highlight the role of dermoscopy in the diagnostic approach.

Drug-induced photosensitivity is a common problem that may be encountered with a variety of medications. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as naproxen and ketoprofen are notable examples. Herein we describe an uncommon manifestation of photosensitivity related to ketoprofen.

Livedoid Vasculopathy (LV) is a chronic condition that presents as recurrent, painful, ulcers of the lower leg, ankle, or dorsal foot. It is an uncommon disease entity. We present a case of livedoid vasculopathy in a young woman.

T‐cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T‐LBL) is frequently revealed by amediastinal mass or peripheral lymphadenopathy. Skin lesions in T‐LBLusually present as multiple nodules associated with multiple peripherallymphadenopathy and bone marrow invasion. Our patient is particular bythe revealing presentation of the lesions as Cutis verticis gyrate. T‐cell...

Statins are a widely used class of drug, usually safe and well‐tolerated. Their cutaneous side effects are exceedingly rare. We describe a case of photoexposed purpuric eruption mediated by rosuvastatin.

Warner and Wilson-Jones syndrome (WWS), is a rare entity. We report a pediatric case of 6-year-old patient, referred to our department for recurrent nodules of the scalp following removal of capillary hemangioma. Intralesional corticosteroids infiltration was decided without recurrence until today.

Introduction: Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a common occupational disease. Its diagnosis is essentially based on interrogation and patch tests. However, commercially available batteries are sometimes not appropriate for the working conditions and the handled products, which must then be tested. In Tunisia, no previous study has focused on t...

Abstract Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare genodermatosis predisposing to skin cancers. Autoimmune diseases related to XP are rarely discussed in the literature. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been associated with other genodermatoses like Cockayne syndrome, but it has never been described in XP. In the present study, we report the rare occurrence of...

Introduction X-linked recessive ichthyosis (XLI) is a genodermatosis, caused by a deficiency of the steroid sulphatase enzyme encoded by the STS gene (OMIM # 300,747). Adopted XLI molecular diagnosis approaches differ from one laboratory to another depending on available technical facilities. Our work aims to figure out a sound diagnostic strategy...
