Dermatologic Diseases Flashcards
hereditary condition of defective ectodermal development; over 170 subtypes, with the best known being hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (X-linked); autosomal dominant and recessive forms are also present
ectodermal dysplasia
M>F; heat intolerance; sparse hair, dystrophic nails; wrinkled, hyperpigmented periocular skin; midface hypoplasia, protuberant lips; oral: xerostomia, hypodontia with malformed crown shapes
ectodermal dysplasia
autosomal dominant genodermatosis caused by mutations in keratin genes 4 and 13; the defect results in abnormal keratinization of the mucosa
white sponge nevus
bilateral, thickened, white corrugated plaques primarily affecting the buccal mucosa; most mucosal sites are also susceptible
white sponge nevus
autosomal dominant genodermatosis characterized by a lack of cohesion among the surface epithelial cells; mutation affects the integrity of the desmosomal complex; oral involvement is much more subtle or absent (15-50%)
darier’s disease (keratosis follicularis)
erythematous, pruritic papules of the skin; pits and keratoses of the palms and soles; nails that feature longitudinal lines, ridges, or splits; oral lesions: multiple normal to white flat-topped papules; frequently seen on the palate or alveolar mucosa
darier’s disease
suprabasilar acantholysis; “test tube” rete ridges; central keratin plug; corps ronds and grains
darier’s disease
solitary lesion of unknown etiology; histologically similar to the lesions of Darier’s disease; M>F, older patients; solitary umbilicated papule of the head and neck; oral lesions are pink or white and primarily involve keratinized mucosa
warty dyskeratoma
autosomal dominant condition caused by a defect in the LKB1 gene, which codes for a serine/threonine kinase; significance lies in the increased incidence of GI adenocarcinoma and other malignancies
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome
periorificial and intraoral freckling; intestinal polyps with intussusception; similar freckling affects the skin of the extremities in about 50% of patients; lesions do not wax and wane with UV exposure; GI polyps- benign overgrowths of intestinal glandular epithelium
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome
9% of patients will develop GI adenocarcinoma by 40 years of age; 33% by 60; overall 18-fold increased frequency of malignancy (breast, ovary, pancreas)
peutz-jeghers
autosomal dominant condition caused by a mutation in the endoglin (HHT1) or ALK-1 (HHT2) genes; characterized by numerous vascular hamartomas of skin and mucosa
hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia
numerous red papules which blanch upon diascopy; epistaxis; predisposition for arteriovenous fistulas of the lung, liver, and brain; superficial collections of thin-walled vascular channels
hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia
any 3 of the following criteria leads to diagnosis of _: recurrent spontaneous epistaxis; telangiectasias of the mucosa and skin; arteriovenous malformation involving the lungs, liver, or CNS; family history of HHT
hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia
heterogeneous group of connective tissue disorders; probably 7 categories of this condition currently recognized; autosomal dominant, recessive, and X-linked patterns recognized
ehlers-danlos syndromes
_ type of Ehlers-Danlos: (abnormal type V collagen) hyperelasticity of skin; cutaneous fragility; papyraceous scarring
classical
_ type of Ehlers-Danlos: no evidence of scarring; joint hyperextensibility
hypermobility
_ type of Ehlers-Danlos: (abnormal type III collagen) bruising; arterial rupture
vascular
oral signs of _: gorlin sign; bruising and bleeding during minor manipulation; pulp stones
Ehlers-Danlos
uncommon autosomal dominant syndrome caused by a mutation of the TSC1 or TSC2 (most common) genes; these genes probably have a tumor suppressor function; TSC2 mutation tend to have more severe expressions than TSC1
Tuberous Sclerosis
seizure disorders and mental retardation; facial angiofibromas; ungual fibromas; CNS tumors (tubers); shagreen patches; ash-leaf spots; cardiac rhabdomyomas and angiomyolipomas
tuberous sclerosis
oral manifestations: enamel pitting; fibrous papules, primarily of the anterior gingiva; radiolucencies of the jaws
tuberous sclerosis
