Le follicoliti superficiali del cuoio capelluto. Studio clinico-dermatoscopico e istopatologico
No full textCutaneous Mastocytosis Exacerbated by Pinworms in a Young Boy
No full textCutaneous mastocytosis in children has an indolent course and undergoes spontaneous regression. Many triggering factors may cause mast cell degranulation and clinical manifestations. Knowledge of these factors is important for patients and their families. We report a case of exacerbation of urticaria pigmentosa due to mast cell degranulation caused by Enterobius vermicularis, which has not been reported before as a triggering factor

Subcutaneous fistula in infancy: a different diagnosis of a perianal discharging nodule
No full textFistula-in-ano (FIA) is an abnormal communication between the anal canal and the perianal skin with an external exit hole draining spontaneously. In FIA the fistulous tract starts from a deep acute purulent inflammation of the anal region, usually an abscess. Perianal abscess (PA) generally arises from the acute infection of a small gland just inside the anus due to the entry of bacteria or foreign material in the gland. In the first year of life PA and FIA are associated and, in contrast to other age groups, in infants they seem to have mainly a malformative origin, without the presence of an underlying concomitant disease. PA is normally the forerunner sign of FIA while it is exceptional to find FIA alone.
We present here the case of a 8-month-old boy with a superficial subcutaneous fistula-in-ano unpreceded by PA.
Pathogenesis and management are reported as well as a review of the literature
Short anagen syndrome: A case series and algorithm for diagnosis.
No full textBackground: The short anagen syndrome (SAS) is a rare idiopathic pediatric disorder
characterized by the short duration of the anagen phase. SAS mainly affects
Caucasian children. Parents complain of their child's inability to grow long hair.
Topical minoxidil may be an effective treatment for SAS; however, a slow spontaneous
improvement is typical.
Objective: Our aim was to collect data on out cases of SAS and create an algorithm
to facilitate diagnosis of SAS.
Methods: A retrospective review of 25 patients with SAS was performed within the
Dermatology Department of the University of Bologna. We collected data regarding
symptoms, pull test, hair card test, trichoscopy, trichogram, treatments, including
biotin and minoxidil, and clinical outcome.
Results: Characteristic findings included parental reporting that the hair had not required
a haircut, hair card test showing hairs with conical-shaped
tips, and hair shafts
of different diameters, with more 10%-20%
of hair shafts less than 60 μm thick on trichoscopy.
Trichogram revealed an increased percentage of telogen hair with normal
hair shafts and tapering ends. The mean anagen-to-
telogen
ratio was 66:34 (normal
ratio 90:10).
Conclusion: We developed an algorithm to facilitate the diagnosis of this rare hair
disease using clinical examination and invasive and non-invasive
testing to differentiate
SAS from other forms of pediatric alopecia. In conclusion, the collected data of
the therapy showed that biotin alone or in combination with topical minoxidil is an
effective treatment for SAS
