Verrucous Plaque (verrucou + plaque)
Selected AbstractsEruptive Epidermoid Cysts Resulting from Treatment with ImiquimodDERMATOLOGIC SURGERY, Issue 7 2005Chelsy L. Marty MD Background Because of its unique mechanism of action and safety profile, imiquimod, a topical immune response modifier, is used for many benign and malignant dermatologic conditions. Adverse effects are typically limited to treatment site erythema and erosion. Objective To describe a newly recognized adverse effect of imiquimod. Methods A 79-year-old woman being treated with imiquimod 5 days per week for a nodular basal cell developed a verrucous plaque over the treatment area after 7 weeks of therapy. Results Scouting biopsies demonstrated multiple comedones and ruptured epidermoid cysts. There was no evidence of residual basal cell carcinoma. Conclusions Imiquimod is a new and novel treatment option for cutaneous malignancies. We report its successful use in the treatment of a nodular basal cell carcinoma. The multiple comedones and ruptured epidermoid cysts are newly reported adverse effects of imiquimod therapy.

Williams Background:, Papillomatous stoma-related skin lesions may result from irritant reactions or infection with epidermodysplasia verruciformis human papillomavirus (HPV) types. Methods:, ,We report upon a papillomatous lesion at the ileostoma of a 63-year-old male with familial adenomatous polyposis and colorectal adenocarcinoma. We thoroughly tested the lesion for HPV using immunohistochemistry, transmission electron microscopy, and polymerase chain reaction analyses. Results:, ,The lesion was a fleshy, multilobulated, and verrucous plaque, with hyperkeratosis, hypergranulosis, acanthosis and marked papillomatosis. The clinical and light microscopic features were suggestive of a condyloma. However, no HPV was detected. Conclusions:, We suggest that the lesion most likely represents chronic papillomatous dermatitis, a reaction to mechanical and/or chemical irritation usually associated with urostomies and only rarely observed with ileostomies. This case highlights the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of an unusual cutaneous morbidity associated with ileostomies. [source] Blastomycosis-like pyoderma: Successful treatment with low-dose acitretinAUSTRALASIAN JOURNAL OF DERMATOLOGY, Issue 2 2005Roland TD Nguyen SUMMARY Blastomycosis-like pyoderma typically presents as verrucous plaque(s) with a purulent discharge through multiple sinuses. Two patients with blastomycosis-like pyoderma developing on significantly sun-damaged skin are presented: an 84-year-old man with multiple painful nodules and plaques, and a 92-year-old woman with a solitary plaque on the left calf. Histopathology showed pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia with dermal foci of suppuration. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from a biopsy specimen in the first patient, whereas the latter patient had Prevotella and Corynebacterium species. Investigations for fungi and mycobacteria yielded negative results. These microbiological findings further supported the clinicopathological diagnosis. Both patients failed to respond to oral doxycycline despite the in vitro susceptibility of the organisms. Treatment with low-dose oral acitretin was successful in both patients after 3,4 months. [source] Hyperkeratotic variant of porokeratosis Mibelli with dermal amyloid depositsTHE JOURNAL OF DERMATOLOGY, Issue 5 2010Toshiaki UENISHI Abstract We report a case of hyperkeratotic variant of porokeratosis Mibelli with dermal amyloid deposits. A 66-year-old man presented with multiple brownish keratotic lesions on the lower extremities, a verrucous nodule on the third toe of the left foot and brownish verrucous plaques on the buttocks for several years. Histopathological examination of the hyperkeratotic plaque in the right gluteal region revealed extreme hyperkeratosis and cornoid lamella. In the papillary dermis, there were prominent eosinophilic amorphous materials which were positive to Dylon staining. Treatment with oral etretinate resulted in a remission of the skin lesions in this case. [source] A case of the hyperkeratotic variant of porokeratosis MibelliTHE JOURNAL OF DERMATOLOGY, Issue 4 2006Hee-Joon YU ABSTRACT Herein, we report a case of the hyperkeratotic variant of porokeratosis Mibelli. A 58-year-old woman presented with two brownish verrucous plaques on the buttock for 20 years, and extremely hyperkeratotic verrucous nodules and brownish macules on the right foot for 1 year. Histopathological findings of the buttock were typical of porokeratosis. However, histopathological findings of the right foot were atypical for porokeratosis, including extreme hyperkeratosis and an increased number of and unusual sized cornoid lamellae.
