A 50-year-old man suffering from cholestatic hepatitis and diabetes mellitus with hyperlipoproteinaemia had small, painful, slightly elevated, reddish, firm indurated plaques on his soles. Histologically, the lesions were composed of a centrally located cutaneous nerve surrounded by concentric layers of xanthoma cells. Electron microscopy showed the cutaneous nerves to be unmyelinated, their axons were vacuolated and contained dense bodies. The xanthoma cells had the same ultrastructural features as those observed in usual xanthomatous lesions. We suggest that this entity be named perineural xanthoma. 相似文献

Necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum: a clinicopathologic study 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum is an unusual dermatologic condition with a characteristic clinical appearance and a clear association with diabetes mellitus. There is currently no treatment that reverses the atrophic changes associated with this lesion. We have carried out a clinicopathologic study on 15 subjects and, in addition, have reviewed 10 further biopsy specimens of necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum. We found a frequent association of necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum with other chronic complications of diabetes mellitus, including limited joint mobility. It is possible that nonenzymatic glucosylation or other changes in collagen may be important in the etiology of necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum and the limited joint mobility. We confirmed that cutaneous anesthesia is usually present in the necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum lesions. With the use of an antibody to S100 protein and an immunohistochemical method, there was an apparent decreased number of nerves in the skin lesions. We suggest that sensory loss results from local destruction of cutaneous nerves by the inflammatory process. Finally, in six elliptical biopsies extending into clinically normal skin, we demonstrated that the inflammatory infiltrate of necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum extended from the lesion into apparently normal skin surrounding clinically active lesions. Thus, intradermal steroids might be administered to perilesional areas surrounding active lesions in the hope of halting progression. 相似文献

Background Diabetic dermopathy is the most common cutaneous marker of diabetes mellitus. The relationship of diabetic dermopathy to internal complications of diabetes mellitus, such as nephropathy, retinopathy, and neuropathy, is still unknown.
Methods The possible role of diabetic dermopathy as a clinical sign of internal complications in diabetes mellitus was investigated. One hundred and seventy-three patients with diabetes mellitus, of whom 125 (72%) had insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and 48 (28%) had non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, were studied.
Results Diabetic dermopathy was present in 69 (40%) of patients, statistically more significant in patients 50 years of age and older. The mean diabetic duration was significantly higher in patients with diabetic dermopathy than in those without. The associations of diabetic dermopathy with retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy were each statistically significant, and the increased frequency of diabetic dermopathy correlated with an increased number of these three complications in each patient.
Conclusions Some of the factors that affect the development of internal complications in diabetes mellitus may play a role in the development of diabetic dermopathy, and diabetic dermopathy may serve as a clinical sign of an increased likelihood of these internal complications in diabetic patients. 相似文献

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common diseases in industrialized Western countries with about 300 million affected patients worldwide. The hyperglycemic state of diabetes mellitus leads to changes in almost every human cell type and organ. Skin changes are considered the most common manifestations of diabetes mellitus. As skin changes can manifest before onset of diabetes mellitus, they may have a diagnostic relevance. Other cutaneous manifestations develop during the course of diabetes mellitus and may be associated with complications in internal organs or may occur as an adverse effect of antidiabetic therapy. In particular, the presence of the diabetic foot syndrome is associated with significantly increased morbidity and mortality of diabetes patients as well as with markedly elevated direct and indirect costs for the health care system. In this article the most common skin diseases of patients with diabetes mellitus as well as their pathophysiology and current treatment are reviewed. 相似文献

Naturally acquired anthrax infection remains an important public-health problem in developing countries. Turkey is one of the countries in which the zoonotic form of anthrax may still be encountered. The most frequent portal of entry for anthrax spores is the skin. Although cutaneous anthrax is usually self-limiting, complications may arise in untreated cases. Underlying systemic disorders such as diabetes mellitus may confound the clinical picture and lead to atypical presentations. We present an unusually extensive case of cutaneous anthrax in a patient with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

An unusual form of generalized granuloma annulare in a patient with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The generalized form of granuloma annulare may be associated with systemic disorders, including diabetes mellitus. We describe here an unusual form of generalized granuloma annulare in a patient with complicated insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The cutaneous eruption had been present for decades as non-pruritic, persistent, violet-brown patches with raised edges. There were flexion deformities of the small joints of the hands and feet associated with thickening of the skin over dorsa of the fingers. The patient is currently on isotretinoin therapy, with partial resolution of lesions at 3 months follow-up. 相似文献

A 58-year-old woman presented with a seven-year history of an eruption on her lower legs that was associated with edema, weeping, pruritus, and a burning sensation. Past medical history included Hashimoto thyroiditis, which was diagnosed eight years prior to presentation. Histopathologic examination was consistent with necrobiosis lipoidica (NL). To our knowledge, NL that is associated with Hashimoto thyroiditis has been described in only one prior report. NL is a chronic, cutaneous, granulomatous condition with degenerative connective-tissue changes of unknown etiology. Our patient responded well to a potent topical glucocorticoid and topical tretinoin. Although our patient did not have diabetes mellitus, 75 percent of patients with NL have diabetes mellitus at the time of diagnosis or will subsequently develop diabetes mellitus. This association with diabetes mellitus mandates screening for glucose intolerance in all patients with NL. 相似文献

Metastatic tuberculous abscesses or cutaneous tuberculous gummas occur mostly by reactivation of ancient cutaneous foci and is triggered mainly by pharmacological immunosuppression, diabetes mellitus, alcoholism or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The present case report refers to a 33-year-old male patient with polymyositis and a previous diagnosis of treated pulmonary tuberculosis. He presented cutaneous abscesses and fever months after the tuberculosis regimen. The patient was diagnosed as metastatic tuberculous abscesses associated with immunosuppression as result of polymyositis treatment. 相似文献

Numerous skin lesions have been commonly observed in individuals with diabetes mellitus. The common skin manifestations of diabetes mellitus are erythrasma, xanthomatosis, xanthelasma, phycomycetes and cutaneous infections like furuncolosis, candidiasis, carbuncle, dermatophytosis, etc. Diabetic dermopathy is the most common skin lesion found in patients with diabetes. It is typically seen in men aged above 50 years. In low-level laser therapy (LLLT), the entire lower limb was illuminated with the frequency of 20 Hz and wavelength of 830 nm for 9 min, and the treatment was divided into four parts. With the continued sessions of LLLT, the skin manifestations and neuropathy conditions improved drastically. On the 21st day, the skin colour was found to be normal. Also, there were significant changes in clinical findings for diabetic peripheral neuropathy. LLLT with specific exercises can promote healing of skin manifestations in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It can be used as an effective treatment modality for treating diabetic dermopathy. 相似文献

Diabetic dermopathy (DD) is the most common cutaneous manifestation of diabetes mellitus. DD refers to atrophic, hyperpigmented macules characteristically located on the shins of patients with diabetes. They have an unfavorable association with the 3 most common microangiopathic complications of diabetes mellitus: neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy. A relationship between DD and coronary artery disease has also been demonstrated. Thus, the presence of DD should prompt aggressive intervention to detect diabetes mellitus and prevent the development of ensuing complications. 相似文献

Reactive perforating collagenosis (RPC) is characterized by umbilicated papules with a central adherent keratotic plug. Histologically, this condition shows transepidermal elimination of altered dermal collagen bundles into a cup-shaped epidermal depression. The present paper describes eight patients with associated diabetes mellitus who meet the diagnostic criteria for the acquired form of RPC (ARPC). Although half of these patients underwent dialysis, the lesions did not tend to develop after dialysis. Pruritus and the Koebner phenomenon were common, and histologically a microvasculopathy was noted in the dermis of all patients. We speculate that this disease is triggered by a cutaneous response to superficial trauma. Furthermore, this response acts synergistically with vasculopathy in the dermis, primarily in the case of diabetes mellitus. A secondary sign of ARPC may be degenerated collagen fibres as a result of transepidermal elimination. 相似文献

Acquired reactive perforating collagenosis (ARPC) is a rare perforating disease of the skin. It is characterized by hyperkeratotic papules with transepidermal elimination of degenerated material including collagen and elastic fibers. The disease presents clinically as umbilicated papules with a central adherent keratotic plug. Mucormycosis infection, caused by the molds of the class Zygomycetes and order Mucorales, generally occurs as an opportunistic infection. It presents most frequently in patients with diabetes mellitus, in patients with leukemia receiving chemotherapy, and in those on sustained immunosuppressive therapy. We describe a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus and end-stage renal disease requiring hemodialysis in whom extensive cutaneous mucormycosis with secondary spread to the brain, lumbar spine, and breast developed in the setting of ARPC. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a patient with ARPC who developed extensive cutaneous mucormycosis. 相似文献

87 patients including 64 males and 24 females with diabetes mellitus and skin diseases were studied. The skin manifestations were common during the fifth decade of life. Maturity onset diabetes had increased incidence of skin disease. Incidence of skin disease was common in early diabetes. Infections both bacterial and fungal were seen in majority of patients. Specific cutaneous markers and metabolic changes were rare and seen in long standing diabetes. Infections were the common problems which recurred subsequently. 相似文献

A case of extensive cutaneous focal mucinosis is described. The patient had insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus with complications in the peripheral circulation. No thyroid abnormality was found. The diagnosis was confirmed by typical clinical appearance, by light and electron microscopy. Shortly after the biopsies were taken, clinical healing became evident - a phenomenon which was clearly seen at the ultramicroscopic level. On the basis of the present case, supported by sparse evidence from the literature, it seems probable that cutaneous focal mucinosis does not present a real neoplasm, but a reactive condition with a possibility of spontaneous healing. 相似文献

This article reviews skin changes occurring in diabetic children. Skin changes may be related to metabolic alterations associated with diabetes. Others may be manifestations of macro or microvascular disease. Insulin injections, required for management of most diabetes in the pediatric age group, may also cause cutaneous changes. There remain several cutaneous abnormalities which are observed with increased frequency among diabetics, the significance of which is unknown. The skin is a potentially invaluable tool for understanding certain diabetic complications; however, the value of observations and experimental data relating to cutaneous changes in diabetics depends upon documentation of the type of diabetes mellitus employing the currently accepted classification system. 相似文献

Rheumatic diseases are the second most common autoimmune disease in childhood after diabetes mellitus. Because cutaneous findings are so common, a dermatologist is often the first physician these children and their parents see. The most common rheumatic disease is juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Except for the systemic form and psoriatic arthritis JIA usually does not show cutaneous symptoms. However, there are many rheumatic diseases that start with skin manifestations such as Henoch-Schönlein purpura, systemic lupus erythematosus and Kawasaki syndrome. Knowledge of these diseases and their symptoms is therefore of importance for the dermatologist. 相似文献

A 70-year-old white woman with sarcoidosis and insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus presented with extensive cutaneous ulcerations. Both the cutaneous lesions and the systemic features of sarcoidosis showed a dramatic improvement during oral corticosteroid therapy. When extensive cutaneous ulcerations are present, it is important to consider sarcoidosis, as these may be the only presenting sign of the disease. Unlike ulcerated necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum, sarcoidal ulcerations may respond well to treatment with oral corticosteroids. 相似文献

Two hundred diabetics comprising of 125 males and 75 females were studied for the presence of cutaneous lesions and type of infective organism, if any, in them. 70.2% of patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus showed some form of cutaneous involvement while only 51% of the patients with controlled diabetes had it. Infections with bacterial (16%) and fungal (10.5%) agents were the most common manifestation. Among bacterial infections, Staph. aureus was the most frequent causative agent in 65.6% cases. Pruritus was present in 4.5% of cases only. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND DESIGN--Although two cardinal skin manifestations of neurofibromatosis are cutaneous neurofibromas and cafe au lait spots, the pathogenesis of cafe au lait spots are very poorly known compared with that of cutaneous neurofibromas. Thus, the cafe au lait spots in two Japanese infants were clinically, histologically, and electron-microscopically investigated. OBSERVATIONS--Some of the cafe au lait spots in the mongolian spots were surrounded by white halos. Histologically, in the cafe au lait spots, the epidermal basal cells had abundant melanin pigment, but macromelanosomes were not seen throughout the epidermis. In the white halo, the epidermal basal cells had a small amount of melanin pigment. Electron microscopically, the cafe au lait spots and their white halos had many subepidermal and intraepidermal nerves that belonged to free nerve endings. All the cutaneous nerves were mature. Some of the intraepidermal nerves had partially or completely naked axons that contacted tightly with the cytomembranes of the basal keratinocytes. Some of the axons in the subepidermal nerves showed degenerative changes only in the white halos. No ultrastructural pathologic changes were observed in the melanocytes, the epidermal keratinocytes, or melanosomes in those cells in the cafe au lait spots and their white halos; also, dermal melanocytes were absent in the both areas. CONCLUSIONS--The increase of the cutaneous nerves and the absence of dermal melanocytes in the cafe au lait spots and their white halos may be considered as characteristic histologic cutaneous findings in infants with neurofibromatosis. However, no evidence indicates that the cutaneous nerves may participate closely in the pathogenesis of the white halos. 相似文献
