Ch. 19 - Viral infections, helminths, and arthropods Flashcards
Verruca vulgaris
Exophytic papillomatous mass with compact eosinophilic hyperkeratosis. Koilocytes may be present.
Myrmecia
Deep palmoplantar wart with anthill-like appearance. Associated with HPV-1.
Verruca plana (flat wart)
Coarse basket-weave hyperkeratosis with hypergranulosis and “Bird’s eye” cells
Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EDV)
Widespread flat warts with foamy blue cytoplasm
Condyloma acuminatum
Benign acanthoma on genital skin with vacuolated keratinocytes (true koilocytes are rare).
Bowenoid papulosis
Discrete sessile genital lesion with full-thickness atypia. Associated with HPV-16.
Heck’s disease
Focal oral hyperplasia. Hyperkeratosis with “round parakeratosis” and epithelial pallor. Associated with HPV-13 and -32.
Verrucous cyst (cystic papilloma)
Cyst with wart-like lining. Resembles myrmecia on feet.
Herpes simplex
Ballooning degeneration of keratinocytes with multinucleation and nuclear molding. Herpetic cytopathic effect. Mild leukocytoclastic vasculitis.
Herpes zoster (VZV)
Ballooning degeneration of keratinocytes with multinucleation and cytopathic effect. Dramatic leukocytoclastic vasculitis.
Chicken pox (VZV)
Ballooning degeneration of keratinocytes with multinucleation and cytopathic effect. Mild leukocytoclastic vasculitis.
Verrucous VZV infection
Hyperkeratosis and papillomatosis with follicular herpetic cytopathic effect. Usually in HIV+ patients.
Cytomegalovirus
Large endothelial cells with owl’s-eye nuclei.
Smallpox (variola)
Epidermal necrosis with reticular degeneration, eosinophilic inclusions (Guarnieri bodies), and nuclear inclusions
Monkey pox
Ballooning degeneration of basal keratinocytes with syncytia. Epidermal necrosis and spongiosis. Band-like and perivascular+periadnexal infiltrate.
Molluscum contagiosum
Cup-shaped lesion with scalloped border. Contains Henderson-Paterson bodies.
Orf and milker’s nodules
Epidermal necrosis with viral inclusion bodies. Long slender acanthosis?
Gianotti-Crosti syndrome
Papular acrolocated syndrome with papillary dermal edema, crust, and perivascular lymphoid infiltrate. HPV/HBV.
Hand, foot, and mouth syndrome
Oval vesicles with reticular and ballooning degeneration. Coxsackievirus.
Schistosomiasis
(types?)
Ova with stippled contents and a mixed, often granulomatous inflammatory response.
- *Haematobium**: Thin wall, vertical spine
- *Mansoni**: Thick wall, lateral spine
- *Japonicum**: Thick wall, no spine
Flatworms
Secretory tegument, rows of subtegumental cells. Calcareous bodies (waste), smooth muscle. No gut.
Elephantiasis
Filarial roundworms within lymphatic vessels (inflammatory response causes lymphedema)
Onchocercoma / microfilaria
Ball of male+female convoluted worms. Thin layer of striated muscle, corrugated cuticle. Large cephalic and caudal spaces.
