Local heat urticaria

White, Forrest; Cobos, Gabriela; Soter, Nicholas A
We present a 38-year-old woman with local heat urticaria confirmed by heat provocation testing. Heat urticaria is a rare form of physical urticaria that istriggered by exposure to a heat source, such as hot water or sunlight. Although it is commonly localized and immediate, generalized and delayed onset forms exist. Treatment options include antihistamines and heat desensitization. A brisk, mechanical stroke elicited a linear wheal. Five minutes after exposure to hot water, she developed well-demarcated,erythematous blanching wheals that covered the distal forearm and entire hand.

White, Forrest; Callahan, Shields; Kim, Randie H; Meehan, Shane A; Stein, Jennifer
Frontal fibrosing alopecia is a scarring alopecia thatis characterized by recession of the frontotemporalhairline with the frequent loss of eyebrows. Itpredominantly affects postmenopausal womenand only rarely affects men. We report the caseof a 46-year-old man with a ten-year history of anerythematous patch with perifollicular erythemaat the superior aspect of the forehead andfrontotemporal hairline. A skin biopsy specimenshowed a perivascular, lymphocytic infiltrate withperiinfundibular fibrosis. These findings establisheda diagnosis of frontal fibrosing alopecia. Thepathogenesis of this condition is poorly understoodbut may be hormonally-mediated.

Nodular amyloidosis

White, Forrest; Shvartsbeyn, Marianna; Meehan, Shane A; Ramachandran, Sarika
Nodular amyloidosis is the rarest form of primary cutaneous amyloidosis. We report the case of a 74-year-old woman with an eight-year history of asymptomatic, hyperpigmented plaques on the pretibial areas. A skin biopsy specimen showed deposits of amorphous eosinophilic material that extended throughout the dermis with apple-green birefringence with a Congo-red stain, which established a diagnosis of nodular amyloidosis. Patients with nodular amyloidosis should be evaluated for systemic disease and followed appropriately due to a small risk of progression to systemic amyloidosis.

Benign familial pemphigus ( Hailey-Hailey disease)

White, Forrest; Shvartsbeyn, Marianna; Meehan, Shane A; Urbanek, Richard W
A 56-year-old man presented with a 15-year history of scaly red plaques on the trunk and axillae. Skin biopsy was consistent with Hailey-Hailey disease. His condition was refractory to multiple therapies, which included topical and oral antibiotics and topical, intralesional, and oral glucocorticoids. Treatment with subcutaneous botulinum toxin type A at the axillae and on the back led to a nearly complete resolution of plaques in those areas. Botulinum toxin type A should be considered in patients with extensive Hailey-Hailey disease who are fail traditional therapies.

Granuloma annulare arising in association with pulmonary coccidioidomycosis [Case Report]

White, Forrest N; Zedek, Daniel C; Collins, David L; Boswell, J Scott
Granuloma annulare (GA) is a reactive process in the dermis, related to degeneration of collagen. It may occur as an idiopathic phenomenon or in conjunction with a myriad of systemic conditions, including infectious disease. We report an interesting case of GA precipitated by pulmonary coccidioidomycosis.
