Annular facial dermatoses in blacks.

Annular facial dermatoses in blacks are common. Although the diagnosis of these dermatoses is usually made without difficulty, occasionally problems are encountered. A patient with annular seborrheic dermatitis that closely resembled the annular lesions of secondary syphilis is presented. The differential diagnosis of annular facial lesions in the black patient is then briefly reviewed.

Skin pigmentation due to minocycline treatment of facial dermatoses.

Fifty-four patients taking minocycline for acne or rosacea were assessed for adverse effects. Their mean duration of treatment was 17 months, and their average cumulative dose was 47 g. No symptoms attributable to the therapy were reported. Biochemistry and haematology profiles were normal. There was no evidence of an adverse effect on thyroid function. Skin pigmentation was detected in eight patients (14.8%). Five patients had diffuse facial pigmentation, and three patients had localized pigmentation at the site of a scar or injury. Diffuse pigmentation occurred only in patients who had been on treatment for 3 years or more; 50% of such patients were affected. Age and solar damage may also have been factors in this type of pigmentation. Localized pigmentation occurred at sites of previous tissue damage, and was not directly related to the duration of therapy. Patients who receive long-term minocycline therapy should be regularly monitored for the development of pigmentation.

Facial dermatosis in four dogs with hyperadrenocorticism.

In hyperadrenocorticism in the dog, cutaneous lesions may include alopecia, thin, hypotonic skin, hyperpigmentation, comedones, calcinosis cutis, secondary bacterial and fungal infections, and demodicosis. Skin lesions affecting only the face have not been reported in reviews of hyperadrenocorticism, nor has the disease been included in the differential diagnoses of facial dermatoses. This report involves 4 dogs with hyperadrenocorticism in which cutaneous signs were limited to the face.

Cowden disease. Report of two additional cases.

Two patients with Cowden disease, a syndrome consisting of cutaneous papules and nodules on the face, oral mucous membranes and dorsal aspects of the forearms and hands in association with tumours of the thyroid gland, breasts, gastro-intestinal tract, and female reproductive tract, are reported. This disease is important to the physician because recognition of these cutaneous lesions may allow early diagnosis of internal neoplasia.

The dermatopathology of Cowden's syndrome.

During the past 2 years we have studied eighty-nine biopsy specimens from nineteen patients with Cowden's syndrome. Among fifty-three facial lesions, twenty-nine were trichilemmomas. Twenty-three of the others were consistent with trichilemmoma, showed a non-specific benign verrucous acanthoma, or were not diagnostic; one was a blue naevus. All fourteen oral mucosal biopsy specimens were benign fibromas. Nineteen of twenty-two biopsy specimens from the hands and feet showed the pattern of benign keratosis. Multiple trichilemmomas were found in all patients with Cowden's syndrome, but at times several biopsy specimens were required before a diagnostic picture was uncovered. All patients with multiple facial trichilemmomas were found to have Cowden's syndrome. The combination of multiple facial trichilemmomas, oral fibromas, and benign acral keratoses enables one to diagnose Cowden's syndrome at a stage before serious internal complications develop.
