Ewing sarcoma: diaphysis.

18
Q

Crystal types

A

19
Q

Sarcoidosis

A

elevated serum ACE levels.
Associated with:
-Restrictive lung disease (interstitial fibrosis)
-Erythema nodosum
-Bell palsy
-Uveitis
-Hypercalcemia (2/2 increases 1 alpha hydroxylase outside of kidney in macrophages, which activates vitamin D).

20
Q

Polymyalgia rheumatica

A

Pain and stiffness in shoulders and hips

Often fever, malaise, weight loss. No weakness.

Associated with temporal arteritis.

labs: increased ESR/ CRP, normal CK.
Tx: low dose steroids.

21
Q

Polymyositis

A

progressive symmetric proximal muscle weakness. Most often = shoulders.

Endomysial inflammation with CD8+ cells.

Labs: increased CK, ANA+, anti-Jo-I, anti-SRP, anti-Mi-2

Tx: steroids.

22
Q

Dermatomyositis

A

Polymyositis + malar rash, heliotrope rash, shawl and face rash, mechanic’s hands, increased risk occult malignancy.

Perimysial inflammation and atrophy with CD4+.

Labs: increased CK, ANA+, anti-Jo-I, anti-SRP, anti-Mi-2

Tx: steroids.

23
Q

Scleroderma

A

Excessive fibrosis and collagen deposition. Commonly sclerosis of skin, renal, pulmonary, cardiovascular, and GI.

Diffuse:

  • widespread, rapid, early visceral invovlemnt.
  • Anti-Scl-70 = anti-DNA topoisomerase I

Limited (fingers/face; more benign) = CREST:

  • Calcinosis
  • Raynaud phenomenon
  • Esophageal dysmotility
  • Sclerodactyly
  • Telangiectasia
  • Anti-Centromere.
24
Q

A

=hereditary hemorrhagic telancectasia.
Autosomal dominant.
Telangectasia of skin and mucous membrane, lips, oropharynx, respiratory tract, GI, urinary.
–> epistaxis, GI bleed, hematuria.

25
Q

Leser-Trelat sign

A

=Flat, greasy, pigmented, squamous epithelial proliferation with keratin-filled cysts. Looking “suck on.”

26
Q

Psoriasis Tx

A

Topical Vitamin D analogues = calcipotriene, calcitriol, tacalcitol

Plaques will collarette scale.

Self-resolving in 6-8 weeks.

31
Q

Basal cell carcinoma

A

Most common.
Locally invasive but no mets.
Pink, pearly nodules, commonly with telangiectasias, rolled borders, central crusting or ulceration or as non-healing ulcers or scaling plaque.

Histo: basal cell palisading nuclei with nests of basaloid cells in dermis.

32
Q

Squamous cell carcinoma

A

Second most common skin cancer.
Locally invasive, rare mets.

Ulcerative red lesions with frequent scale.

Associated with chronic training sinuses.

Actinic keratosis = scaly plaque and precursor to SCC.
Keratoacanthoma: a rapidly growing variant that may regress spontaneously.

33
