Ocular findings in patients with psoriasis

Background  Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting skin, nails, and joints. Although there are not many reports in the literature, ocular findings occur in approximately 10% of patients, in mostly those who have psoriatic arthritis. In this study, we aimed to evaluate eye involvement in psoriasis patients.

Intralesional 5-fluorouracil, lidocaine and epinephrine mixture for the treatment of verrucae: a prospective placebo-controlled, single-blind randomized study

Background  The treatment of viral warts remains challenging. A variety of treatment modalities have been used with a range of success. Fluorouracil has been shown to be effective in treating warts but the method of its delivery directly onto the affected tissue has been of little efficacy. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of intralesional 5‐fluorouracil in the treatment of verrucae.

Barraquer-Simons syndrome with benign infundibulocystic proliferation.

A white man attended our outpatient clinic because of soft papules on the second finger of the left hand. They were livid red‐colored, warty surfaced cysts, 1–2 cm in diameter, arranged in an annular configuration ( Fig. 1 ). The patient showed prominent zygomatic bones and symmetric loss of buccal fat pads (Bichats fats), leading to sunken cheeks ( Fig. 2 ). The history of the patient could not be taken because of his debility.
