Sézary disease, or Sézary syndrome, is a type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma that was first described by Albert Sézary. The affected T cells, known as Sézary's cells or Lutzner cells, have pathological quantities of mucopolysaccharides. Sézary disease is sometimes considered a late stage of mycosis fungoides with lymphadenopathy.
Vorinostat (rINN) also known as Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid is a member of a larger class of compounds that inhibit histone deacetylases (HDAC). Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDI) have a broad spectrum of epigenetic activities.
In medicine, a drug eruption is an adverse drug reaction of the skin. Most drug-induced cutaneous reactions are mild and disappear when the offending drug is withdrawn. These are called "simple" drug eruptions. However, more serious drug eruptions may be associated with organ injury such as liver or kidney damage and are categorized as "complex". Drugs can also cause hair and nail changes, affect the mucous membranes, or cause itching without outward skin changes.
Naxos disease is a cutaneous condition characterized by a palmoplantar keratoderma. The prevalence of the syndrome is up to 1 in every 1000 people in the Greek islands.
Paraneoplastic acrokeratosis, or Bazex syndrome is a cutaneous condition characterized by psoriasiform changes of hands, feet, ears, and nose, with involvement of the nails and periungual tissues being characteristic and indistinguishable from psoriatic nails. The condition is associated with carcinomas of the upper aerodigestive tract.
A sebaceous adenoma, a type of adenoma, a cutaneous condition characterized by a slow-growing tumor usually presenting as a pink, flesh-coloured, or yellow papule or nodule.
Trichilemmoma is a benign cutaneous neoplasm that shows differentiation toward cells of the outer root sheath. The lesion is often seen in the face and neck region. Multifocal occurrence is associated with Cowden syndrome, in which hamartomatous intestinal polyposis is seen in conjunction with multiple tricholemmoma lesions.
A trichodiscoma is a cutaneous condition, a benign, usually skin-colored tumor most often affecting the face and upper trunk.
SAHA syndrome, is a medical syndrome characterized by seborrhoea, acne, hirsutism and alopecia, and was first described in 1982. It is frequently associated with polycystic ovary syndrome, cystic mastitis, obesity, and infertility.
Wende–Bauckus syndrome is a cutaneous condition characterized by tiny white macules on the trunk with confluence within flexures.
Bart–Pumphrey syndrome is a cutaneous condition characterized by hyperkeratoses over the metacarpophalangeal, proximal and distal interphalangeal joints.
Hystrix-like ichthyosis–deafness syndrome is a cutaneous condition characterized by a keratoderma.
Arthrogryposis–renal dysfunction–cholestasis syndrome is a cutaneous condition caused by a mutation in the VPS33B gene. Most of the cases have been survived for infancy. Recently, College of Medical Sciences in Nepal reports a case of ARC syndrome in a girl at the age of more than 18 years.
Neonatal ichthyosis–sclerosing cholangitis syndrome is a cutaneous condition which is characterized by hypotrichosis of the scalp, alopecia, ichthyosis and sclerosing cholangitis. Only 5 cases from 3 families worldwide have been described in medical literature. It caused by mutations in the Claudin 1 gene.
Laryngo-onycho-cutaneous syndrome is a rare epithelial disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. It is characterized by abnormalities in the larynx, nails, and skin ("cutaneous"). The disorder is only found in Punjabi Muslims and only a few cases have been reported.
Persistent adrenarche syndrome is a cutaneous condition seen typically in thin young women who report great psychological and physical stress in their lives.
Limb–mammary syndrome is a cutaneous condition characterized by p63 mutations.
Excess ovarian androgen release syndrome is a cutaneous condition usually seen in young women between the ages of 16 and 20.
The HAIR-AN syndrome is a rare subtype of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) characterized by hyperandrogenism (HA), insulin resistance (IR) and acanthosis nigricans (AN). The symptoms of the HAIR-AN syndrome are largely due to severe insulin resistance, which can be secondary to blocking antibodies against the insulin receptor or genetically absent/reduced insulin receptor number/function. Insulin resistance leads to hyperinsulinemia which, in turn, leads to an excess production of androgen hormones by the ovaries. High levels of androgen hormones (hyperandrogenism) in females causes excessive hair growth, acne and irregular menstruation. Patients with both underlying mechanisms of insulin resistance may have more severe hyperandrogenism. Insulin resistance is also associated with diabetes, heart disease and excessive darkening of the skin
