Purpuric Lesions (purpuric + lesion)
Selected AbstractsAtypical presentations of pityriasis rosea: case presentationsJOURNAL OF THE EUROPEAN ACADEMY OF DERMATOLOGY & VENEREOLOGY, Issue 1 2005A Chuh ABSTRACT Atypical cases of pityriasis rosea (PR) are fairly common and less readily recognized than typical eruptions. We present four patients for whom we believe atypical PR is the most likely diagnosis. A 33-year-old man had purpuric lesions bilaterally on the legs with classical rash on the trunk. A 28-year-old woman had intensely pruritic and urticarial lesions. A 10-year-old girl had hundreds of small papular lesions 1,3 mm in size. A pregnant woman aged 26 had oral haemorrhagic ulcers with classical PR eruption on her trunk. The oral ulcers erupted and remitted at the same time as the generalized eruption. We reviewed the literature and proposed a classification based on rash morphology, rash size, rash distribution, number of lesions, site of lesions, severity of symptoms and course of the eruption. We believe that it is difficult to make a clear division to define typical and atypical PR, and that it is important not to ascribe any unusual or atypical skin eruption with PR unless other dermatoses have been excluded.

A 9-month-old boy with fever, rinorrhea, edema, and purpuric lesions involving the face, oral mucosa, ears, and extremities was presented.

Revenga We report a 63-year-old patient with an IgA-kappa multiple myeloma in complete remission who developed necrotic lesions on both ears and papular, purpuric lesions on his legs and cheeks. Initial differential diagnosis included perniosis and skin necrosis secondary to interferon treatment but subsequent investigation revealed cryofibrinogenaemia as the underlying cause. Stanozolol therapy, 2 mg/12 h, achieved a complete clearance of the skin lesions. Cryofibrinogenaemia is a disease which can be under-diagnosed unless it is considered in the work-up of a patient with thrombotic skin lesions. Stanozolol is useful as first line therapy for this disorder. [source] | ||||||||||
