Conclusion: We found evidence of an amalgamation of multiple cells and their debris in cytoid bodies, colloid bodies and “large round bodies”. These findings may represent the results of defragmentation and amalgamation of multiple cells including those involved in the immune response to EM; in addition, the findings suggest a brisk immune response. The immune response was directed inside the blisters, on epidermal cell junctions, and against dermal vessels and eccrine glands. Overall, our results may be indicative of a more complex immune response than previously documented in EM, involving cytotoxic T cells, antigen presenting cells, neutrophils and c-ANCAs.

Conclusion: With the expected increase in the geriatric population in the coming years, the dermatological problems in geriatric population assume great importance. Our study shows that physiological changes seen with ageing such as wrinkling, senile purpura, xerosis, senile comedone, atrophy and senile lentigens are major cutaneous findings. Eczemas of various types and fungal and bacterial infections are the common dermatological morbidities. These dermatological morbidities in geriatric population can be minimized by reassurance, regular use of emollients and proper education regarding routine care of skin.

Conclusion: Viral skin diseases are one of the major health problems in the dermatology specialty. Further studies should be performed to control these conditions.

Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is a lymphoangioproliferative neoplasm induced by human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8). KS caused by iatrogenic immunosuppression is rare. Iatrogenic KS can present a therapeutic dilemma, as decreasing the level of immunosuppression may not be possible or may come at the high cost of organ rejection, such as in the case of organ transplant recipients or organ damage in the case of patients with autoimmune disorders. We report a new case of Kaposi’s sarcoma induced by corticosteroids.

We present a 25-year-old woman with numerous permanent translucent tiny papules on the face. Microscopic examination revealed dense infiltration of lymphocytes in the reticular dermis with lymphoid follicle formation and significant B-cell lymphocytes in immunohistochemistry study. She was diagnosed as miliarial type pseudolymphoma and treated with topical momethasone furoate ointment and oral hydroxychloroquine with a good response.

Endométriose ombilicale: Présentation anatomoclinique, aspects en imagerie et attitude thérapeutique
[Umbilical endometriosis: anatomo-clinical presentation, imaging aspects and therapeutic attitude]

l’endométriose cutanée est une affection rare. La localisation ombilicale pure de l’endométriose est rare car il est souvent classique de retrouver une lésion génitale ou pelvienne associée. L’aspect clinique, radiologique et histopathologique de même que la symptomatologie cyclique permettent d’évoquer le diagnostic afin d’établir une stratégie thérapeutique adéquate et souvent efficace.
