We report lichen amyloidosis occurring on the upper lip and nasolabial folds of a 61-year-old woman from Singapore. She had a past history of systemic lupus erythematosus, which was in remission for three years. There had been no lesions of lupus erythematosus in this area. Clinically, the lesions were skin-coloured, firm papules and our differential diagnoses included trichoepithelioma, papular sarcoid or lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei. Skin biopsy from one of the lesions showed amyloid deposits in the dermis which were Congo red stain positive. These deposits also showed apple green birefringence. Immunohistochemical staining of the amyloid deposits stained positive for cytokeratins (CK) 5 and 6, and negative for CK 14. The kappa and lambda stains were equivocal. Further investigations, including multiple myeloma screen and rectal biopsy, ruled out systemic amyloidosis. There was no other evidence of cutaneous amyloidosis on her limbs or trunk. She refused treatment for her le...

A 23-year-old white female patient presented with a 3-year history of a pruritic rash on the trunk, extensor surfaces of the extremities, back, abdomen, and the glutea. There was no family history of any similar dermatological disease. Dermatological examination revealed generalized rough, mildly keratotic, symmetrical dome-shaped papules, involving dorsal and extensor surfaces of both the lower and upper extremities, abdomen, back and the glutea (Fig. 1). Physical examination was normal.Figure 1. Dome-shaped, lichenified papules, 4–5 mm in diameter, on the right lower extremityDownload figure to PowerPointFigure 1.

Many advances in dermatology have been made in recent years. In the present review article, newly described disorders from the last six years are presented in detail. We divided these reports into different sections, including syndromes, autoinflammatory diseases, tumors, and unclassified disease. Syndromes included are “circumferential skin creases Kunze type” and “unusual type of pachyonychia congenita or a new syndrome”; autoinflammatory diseases include “chronic atypical neutrophilic dermatosis with lipodystrophy and elevated temperature (CANDLE) syndrome,” “pyoderma gangrenosum, acne, and hidradenitis suppurativa (PASH) syndrome,” and “pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, acne, and hidradenitis suppurativa (PAPASH) syndrome”; tumors include “acquired reactive digital fibroma,” “onychocytic matricoma and onychocytic carcinoma,” “infundibulocystic nail bed squamous cell carcinoma,” and “acral histiocytic nodules”; unclassified disorders include “saurian papulosis,” “symmetri...

C. Noica The major property of the Gaia system is the planetary geo-stasis as a result of a complex network, generated by the living and non-living subsystems that interact at multi-scale, having an evolutive behavior. A sustainable development can be designed only in this astro-bio-geodynamical framework, based on an ontological triad: Information- Energy- Matter.
