Cutaneous manifestations of diabetes mellitus

Diabetes is a common disease with many cutaneous manifestations encountered by dermatologists. Diabetes and the skin may be linked by association (e.g., necrobiosis lipoidica); infection; diabetic complication (e.g., neuropathic ulcer); or treatment reaction. Review of recent studies and reports focuses on pathogenesis and treatment of these many diabetic cutaneous changes.

Cutaneous bronchogenic cyst with papilloma and sinus presentation

The thirty-eighth case of bronchogenic cyst in the skin is reported in a 5-year-old boy. This is the first case report of cutaneous bronchogenic cyst presenting as a distinct, pedunculated growth with a sinus tract at the base. Embryogenesis, differential diagnosis, and treatment are discussed.

Gypsy moth caterpillar dermatitis--revisited.

Gypsy moth caterpillar dermatitis is a pruritic, papular, urticarial eruption on exposed skin that occurs most commonly after direct contact with the first instar larva of the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar). We present two case reports to illustrate its clinical and histopathologic features. Both cases occurred during the spring of 1990 and coincided with the greatest infestation of L. dispar in the Northeast to date. The pathogenesis of this distinctive gypsy moth dermatitis most likely involves histamine release by the caterpillar and a delayed hypersensitivity reaction in its host.

Association of scabies with a bullous pemphigoid-like eruption

We describe a patient with scabies who had an associated bullous pemphigoid-like eruption. Previous reports of this association have appeared in the literature. However, most case reports have described negative or nonspecific findings with direct immunofluorescence in contrast to the intense linear homogenous band of IgG and C3 found in our patient.

Linear scleroderma: Report of a case presenting as persistent unilateral eyelid edema

Localized (linear) scleroderma is added to the list of causes of eyelid edema. This case report of a 66-year-old woman demonstrates en coup de sabre linear scleroderma preceded by 8 months of eyelid edema without clinical evidence of scleroderma, The linear scleroderma evolved rapidly, then stabilized over a 9-month period, and then, during the next 6 months, softened, with some regrowth of hair.

Chronic foot wounds in diabetics and total contact casting

Abstract An understanding of the classification, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of diabetic foot ulcers can lead to healing of the ulcers and salvage of a foot or limb in the majority of patients.
