Acquired lymphangiectasia (AL) represents superficial lymphatic dilatation caused by different processes. It is a consequence of lymphatic damage by an external cause, leading to obstruction of local lymphatic drainage. Radiotherapy remains of the major cause of lymphatic vessel injury. We report a case of AL of the breast in a 45‐year‐old woman treated for breast cancer mimicking warts.

Occupational cutaneous squamous‐cell carcinoma has an increased incidence, but rarely suspected. When located in an uncovered skin area, it is closely linked to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ...exposure. However, single pulmonary anthracosis nodule is rarely described in the literature. The association of both diseases due to the same exposure remains uncommon.
Cutaneous squamous‐cell carcinoma and pulmonary anthracosis are preventable yet continue to occur. While greater attention has been given to aromatic hydrocarbons exposure in the occurrence of cutaneous carcinoma, the exposure to coal causes a wide spectrum of respiratory disease, including anthracosis. Prevention is the key of a successful treatment.

Malignant melanoma presenting as an inflammatory skin metastasis has been described but is an exceedingly rare phenomenon. We report a case of inflammatory metastasis of cutaneous melanoma (CM).
...Carcinoma erysipeloides remains rare form of cutaneous metastasis that presents as an erythematous, well‐demarcated patch or plaque that resembles erysipelas. It is most frequently associated with carcinoma of the breast, but has been reported with other primary tumors, including lung and colon, accounting for 4% of skin metastases. In this report, we describe a case of inflammatory metastasis of cutaneous melanoma (CM).

H Syndrome is a rare genodermatosis. It may include facial involvement such as: facial telangiectasia, both hypo‐ and hyperpigmented lesions, hirsutism, swollen cheeks due to subcutaneous ...infiltration and eczematous lesions. We describe a new facial phenotype with dermoscopic and histological features in the spectrum of non‐Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
H Syndrome is an autosomal recessive genodermatosis due to mutation in SLC29A3 with multisystem involvement. Hyperpigmentation, hypertrichosis, and skin induration can involve lower limbs but also other parts of the body including the face. Erythematous, annular, slightly keratotic, and figurate lesions in cheeks and nose represent a new clinical feature.

Syringocystadenoma Papilliferum (SCAP) is a benign adnexal tumor. Most of the cases present with a solitary lesion in the head and neck region at birth or in early childhood. In fact, only two cases ...of SCAP on the lower leg have been reported in the literature. We report an atypical case by its location and its clinical aspect.

Pemphigus herpetiformis (PH) is a rare form of pemphigus, especially when occurring in childhood. Misdiagnosis is common in this age group. The disease exhibits diverse clinical and histological ...aspects. Further immunological investigations should be performed in order to make the right diagnosis with a correct management strategy.
Pemphigus of childhood is rare. Pruritic herpetiform blisters with or without erythematous lesions should prompt consideration of diagnosis of pemphigus herpetiformis in this age group. Prognosis is generally good with appropriate therapy.

H syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with characteristic dermatological findings consisting of hyperpigmentation and hypertrichosis patches mainly located on the inner thighs and ...multisystemic involvement including hepatosplenomegaly, hearing loss, heart abnormalities and hypogonadism. The aim of this study was to conduct a clinical and genetic investigation in five unrelated Tunisian patients with suspected H syndrome. Hence, genetic analysis of the SLC29A3 gene was performed for four patients with a clinical diagnosis of H syndrome. We identified a novel frame‐shift mutation in the SLC29A3 gene in a female patient with a severe clinical presentation. Furthermore, we report two mutations previously described, the p.R363Q mutation in a male patient and the p.P324L mutation in two patients of different age and sex. This paper extends the mutation spectrum of H syndrome by reporting a novel frame‐shift mutation, the p.S15Pfs*86 in exon 2 of SLC29A3 gene and emphasizes the relevance of genetic testing for its considerable implications in early diagnosis and clinical management.

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma is a rare, borderline tumor that typically occurs during early childhood. Kasabach–Merritt phenomenon is a complication characterized by a consumptive coagulopathy ...resulting from the localized intravascular coagulation. Hypercalcemia generation is a rare association that was related in our case to parathyroid hormone‐related protein produced by this angioma.
Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, a rare borderline vascular tumor of infancy, can rarely present with consumptive thrombocytopenia and coagulation abnormalities (known as Kasabach–Merritt phenomenon). Associated hypercalcemia can also occur, which is possibly related to parathyroid hormone‐related protein produced by tumor. Early aggressive treatment with steroid and en bloc surgery can prevent death. Sirolimus has been tried with satisfactory results in inoperable cases.

We propose to study the epidemiological aspects of North African psoriasis and determine the cardiovascular comorbidities and addictive behaviors associated with psoriasis. This is a North African ...case-control study which was conducted over a five year period (October 2008 through August 2013), involving 671 psoriatic patients and 1,242 controls identified in various Algerian, Tunisian and Moroccan university hospitals. For each patient, epidemiological characteristic, addictive behaviors, and cardiovascular pathologies associated with psoriasis were noted. Six hundred and seventy one psoriasis patients and 1,242 controls were included in this study. The average age was 47.24 years and the M/F sex-ratio was 1.11 (354 men and 317 women). Statistical analysis showed that psoriasis patients were more likely to develop addictive behaviors than controls (smoking p<10-5 and alcohol consumption: p < 10-5), together with dyslipidemia (30.1% of patients p < 10-5), obesity (23.8% of patients p < 10-4), hypertension (22.3% of patients p < 10-5), diabetes (21.7% of occurrences p < 10-5) and metabolic syndrome (37.4% of patients p<10-5). The relative risk for developing psoriasis was 1.9 in hypertensive patients, 1.7 in diabetic patients, 3.9 in dyslipidemic patients, 1.8 in obese patients, 2.6 in those with metabolic syndrome, 2.1 in smokers and 2.8 in alcoholics. Our work confirms the high incidence of addictive behaviors and of cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities during the North-African psoriasis, hence the need for a multidisciplinary comprehensive care based on a guideline suited to the characteristics of North-African psoriatic patients.
