Project description:Primary osteoma cutis is a rare condition belonging to a spectrum of related genetic disorders, including progressive osseous heteroplasia, plate-like osteoma cutis, and Albright hereditary osteodystrophy, which share identical histologies with cutaneous intramembranous ossification and mutations in GNAS. We report a case of a 15-week-old girl who presented with an enlarging, indurated subcutaneous lesion on her right flank. CT scan showed an extensive subcutaneous sheet of calcification. Histologic evaluation revealed heterotopic calcification and intramembranous ossification within the dermis and mature bone largely replacing the subcutaneous fat compatible with osteoma cutis. Molecular testing was performed and identified an inactivating GNAS mutation. Unique to this case is a dermal proliferation of bland spindle cells that blended with deposited osteoid material. This has not been reported in association with primary osteoma cutis previously. These spindle cells were positive for CD44, Bcl-2, muscle-specific actin, and smooth muscle actin while negative for CD34. We hypothesize that these cells are immature mesenchymal cells, representing an early cellular phase of ossification. We favor these cells provide the background in which ossification is occurring, supporting the theory of osteoblastic metaplasia in the etiology of this condition.

Project description:Cutis laxa (CL) is a heterogeneous group of inherited and acquired connective tissue disorders characterized by a loose skin and variable systemic involvement (inguinal hernia, cardiopulmonary disease, and emphysema). Autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive and x-linked recessive patterns have been described in the inherited forms. Acquired forms of this disease have been associated with a previous inflammatory skin disorder (urticaria…). The characteristic symptomatological pattern is resulting from paucity of elastic fibers. We report an 18 months old baby boy with a congenital cutis laxa. He was admitted in pediatric unit for respiratory disorders. The diagnosis of CL syndrome is based on clinical assessment of typical skin features and the associated extracutaneous finding.

Project description:Cutis Laxa is a rare connective tissue disease featuring inelastic and saggy skin. It is thought that plastic surgery might be the most effective treatment, while the previous pieces of literature on the surgical treatment for Cutis Laxa complained of the recurrence. We report a patient of Congenital Cutis Laxa who has received systematic and sequential treatment based on plastic surgery. The patient is content with the effect of treatment, and there are no signs of recurrence after 5 months. By referring to relevant pieces of literature, we evaluate the clinical manifestations and diagnosis of the disease. A multi-step, systematic, and sequential treatment is recommended for the treatment of Congenital Cutis Laxa.

Project description:IntroductionScrofuloderma is the most common form of cutaneous tuberculosis. The facial location is unusual and requires special care.DiscussionThe diagnosis of cutaneous tuberculosis is difficult due to the polymorphism of the anatomo-clinical pictures as well as the difficulty of isolating the causal agent. The combination of a range of clinical and paraclinical arguments justifies starting antibacillary treatment.ConclusionTuberculosis is endemic disease in our country; this endemicity is attested by the multiple cases of cutaneous tuberculosis reported in the literature.

Project description:Osteoid osteomas are benign, typically intracortical lesions most often affecting the diaphysis of long bones. Nocturnal pain and characteristic symptoms that are relieved by administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are present and can help in the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma. We report a case of 18-year-old boy with an osteoid osteoma in the olecranon fossa with an atypical clinical manifestation. The initial manifestation was arthritis-like symptoms such as local heat, motion pain rather than pain at rest, and limited range-of-motion. Notably, NSAIDs were not effective at all for relieving his symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging showed bone marrow edema around the elbow joint. The symptoms were resistant to conservative treatments, and thus, surgical resection was required. Histopathological examination showed that the lesion consisted of woven bones and osteoid tissues that anastomosed with each other. Combined with a tumor size that was less than 2 cm, clinicopathologically, the tumor was diagnosed as an osteoid osteoma. The pain was immediately relieved after the operation, and range-of-motion recovered at 2 months postoperatively. At 1 year after the surgery, the patient did not exhibit recurrence of the tumor or exacerbation of elbow pain and had a full range of elbow motion. Osteoid osteoma should be considered for the differential diagnosis of arthritis of the elbow in patients who are adolescents and young adults, which is the peak age of onset for osteoid osteoma.

Project description:Multiple miliary osteoma cutis (MMOC) is a rare skin disorder characterized by heterotopic ossification in dermis and subcutis. The etiology and disease mechanism is unknown, but earlier data indicates that it seems to be different from other diseases containing heterotopic intramembranous ossification. The purpose of this study was to further investigate the pathogenesis of MMOC by comparing patients’ osteoma affected skin area to their unaffected healthy skin area, as well as to skin from controls. This comparison was made by using osteogenic differentiation studies in cell cultures and by gene expression experiments. Both patient and control dermal fibroblast-like cells were able to differentiate into osteoblast-like matrix mineralizing cells. The differentiation seems to diminish with bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) 4 and 2/7 exposures and seems to correlate with proportion of stem cell associated cell surface marker CD105 positive cells. Microarray analysis revealed altered gene expression patterns between skin samples of patients and controls, as well as between samples taken from different skin areas. BMP receptor II and G-protein α-stimulatory subunit genes were among downregulated and β-catenin among upregulated genes in patient compared to control samples. Genes for homeobox proteins were among downregulated and gene for secreted frizzled related protein 2 among upregulated genes when compared patients’ osteoma area to their unaffected area. Differences in unaffected skin area in patients and controls suggest that the nature of MMOC may be more systemic than previously thought. Detected differences in separate skin areas may, in turn, provide new information for understanding the localized characteristics of MMOC. BMPs’ inhibitory effect to osteogenic differentiation of human dermal fibroblast-like cells may provide a new perspective to the clinical use of BMPs.

Project description:We present a patient with poikiloderma, severe osteoporosis and a mild intellectual disability. At the age of 9 years, this patient was proposed to suffer from a novel disease entity designated as calcinosis cutis, osteoma cutis, poikiloderma and skeletal abnormalities (COPS) syndrome. At the age of 35, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. Recently, biallelic pathogenic variants in the RECQL4 gene were detected (c.1048_1049delAG and c.1391-1G>A), confirming a diagnosis of Rothmund-Thomson syndrome (RTS). In the brother of this patient, who had a milder phenotype, a similar diagnosis was made.ConclusionWe conclude that COPS syndrome never existed as a separate syndrome entity. Instead, osteoma cutis may be regarded as a novel feature of RTS, whereas mild intellectual disability and lymphoma may be underreported parts of the phenotype. What is new: • Osteoma cutis was not a known feature in Rothmund-Thomson patients. • Intellectual disability may be considered a rare feature in RTS; more study is needed. What is known: • RTS is a well-described syndrome caused by mutations in the RECQL4 gene. • Patients with RTS frequently show chromosomal abnormalities like, e.g. mosaic trisomy 8.

Project description:Osteomas are benign, slow growing, usually sessile osteogenic tumors of unknown etiology. They arise from proliferation of either cancellous or compact bone. They can be central, peripheral or extra-skeletal based on their origin from endosteum, periosteum or extra-skeletal soft tissue respectively. They are commonly found in the skull and facial bones, the most common site in the maxillofacial region being paranasal sinuses. Among the jaw bones the most common site is the mandible. The hard palate is a rare site for such osteomas with a very few cases reported in literature. We report a case of large pedunculated peripheral osteoma of the hard palate in a 38 year old male. The tumor was excised with no recurrence after 3 years followup.
