Ch 25 - Skin Flashcards
Acute or chronic inflammatory dermatoses:
Urticaria
Acute eczematous dermatitis
Erythema multiforme
Acute inflammatory dermatoses
Characteristic morphology of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans
Storiform pattern - closely packed fibroblasts arranged radially (pinwheel appearance)
Per Dr. Martin - fish swimming together appearance
6 P’s of lichen planus
Pruritic Purple Polygonal Planar Papules Plaques (coalescence of papules)
What type of hypersensitivity is acute eczematous dermatitis?
Type IV
Saw-toothing (dermal-epidermal junction takes on zig-zag contour), colloid/Civatte bodies (necrotic basal cells sloughed off and incorporated into inflamed papillary dermis), and acanthosis in chronic form are seen in _______
Lichen planus
Tumor of the dermis with the following:
Translocation: COL1A1 and PDGFβ (platelet derived growth factor beta)
Overexpression of PDGFβ -> tumor cell growth through an autocrine loop
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans
Stain used with fungi (stain bright pink/red)
PAS
Most common form of fibrous histiocytoma
Dermatofibroma (benign fibrous histiocytoma)
Acute inflammatory dermatosis characterized by spongiosis (edema seeps into intercellular spaces of epidermis, splaying apart keratinocytes (acantholysis), particularly in stratum spinosum)
Acute eczematous dermatitis
Stratum corneum keratinization with retained nuclei
Normal on mucous membranes
Parakeratosis
Malignant tumor of the dermis that rarely metastasizes (but still malignant)
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans
Panniculitis associated with infectious β-hemolytic strep, tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, and IBD
Leaves no scars while new lesions develop
Erythema nodosum
Infection usually due to staph aureus and has a honey-colored crust morphology
Impetigo
Pemphigus or bullous pemphigoid - subepidermal, non-acantholytic blisters
Bullous pemphigoid
Parakeratosis (thickened stratum corneum that retain their nuclei unlike normal cells in this layer) is seen in ______
Actinic (solar) keratoses
