Allergic contact dermatitis: Type IV hypersensitivity reaction that follows exposure to allergen (poison ivy, poison oak, nickel, rubber, chemicals). Lesions occur at site of contact.
What is the name for the type IV hypersensitivity reaction of the skin that follows exposure to allergen: Allergic contact dermatitis
Where is the lesion following exposure in allergic contact dermatitis: the site of contact
What is psoriasis: Epidermal hyperplasia (acanthosis) with parakeratotic scaling (nuclei still in stratum corneum) espcially on the knees and elbos. Increased stratum spinosum. Decreased stratum granulosum. Auspitz sign.
What are the histologic features of psoriasis (4)?: Epidermal hyperplasia: nuclei still in stratum corneum. Increased stratum spinosum. Decreased stratum granulosum
What skin condition presents with Auspitz sign?: Psoriasis
What skin condition is characterized by Epidermal hyperplasia: nuclei still in stratum corneum. Increased stratum spinosum. Decreased stratum granulosum: Psoriasis
What skin condition is often found on knees and elbows: Psoriasis
What skin condition presents with parakeratotic scaling?: Psoriasis
What is parakeratotic scaling?: nucli still in stratu corneum.
What is dermatitis herpetiformis: Pruritic papules and vesicles. Associated with celiac disease.
What skin condition is associated with celiac disease?: dermatitis herpetiformis
What skin condition presents with pruritic papules and vesicles?: dermatitis herpetiformis
What is Lichen planus: Pruritic, purple, polygonal papules; infiltrate of lymphocytes at dermoepidermal junction
What skin condition presents with pruritic, purple, polygonal papules: Lichen planus
What skin condition is histologically characterized by infiltrate of lymphocytes at dermoepidermal junction: Lichen planus
What is erythema multiforme associated with (4 conditions). What is the clincial presentation (4) features.: Associated with infectons, drugs, cancers and autoimmune disease. Presets with mutiple types of lesions, including macules, papules, vesicles, and target leisons (red papules with a pale center).
What skin condition presents with macules, papules, vesicles, and target leisons: erythema multiforme
What skin condition is associated with infectons, drugs, cancers and autoimmune disease: erythema multiforme
What is the major form of erythema multiforme?: Stevens-Johnson syndrome
What are the characterizes Stevens-Johnson syndrome (5)?: high fever, bulla formation and necrosis, ulceration of the skin and a high mortality
What type of skin syndrom is Stevens-Johnson syndrome: Erythema multiforme
What is Seborrheic keratosis?: Flat, pigmented squamous epithelial proliferation with keratin-filled cysts (horn cysts). Benign.
What skin condition presents with flat, pigmented squamous epithelial proliferation with keratin-filled cysts (horn cysts): Seborrheic keratosis
What is the prognosis for Seborrehic keratosis?: Good, it's benign.
What is Actinic keratosis?: Caused by suun exposure. Small, rough, erythematous or brownish papules. Premalignant lesion. Risk of carcinoma is proportional to epithelial dysplasia.
How does Actinic keratosis present clinically?: Small, rough erythematous or brownish papules.
Where is Actinic keratosis on the spectrum of malignant transformation?: Pre-malignant
What is the cause of actinic keratosis: Sun exposure
What skin condition does sun exposure lead to?: actinic keratosis
What determines the risk of pregression to carcinoma in actinic keratosis?: risk is proportional to epithelial dysplasia
What is keloid: Tumor of connective tissue elemets of dermis that causes raised, thickened scars. Follows trauma to skin, especically in African-Americans
What skin condition are African-Americans pre-disposed to: keloid
What is the clinical presentation of keloid?: Tumor of raised thickened scars
What skin condition presents with a tumor of raised thickend scars: keloid
What skin condition follows trauma to skin?: keloid
What a tumor of connective tissue elemets of dermis called: keloid
What are the histologic features of keloid: tumor of connective tissue elemts of demis.
Bullous pemphigoid: Autoimmune disorder with IgG antibody against epidermal basement membrane (linear immunoflouresce). Similar to but less sever than pemphigus vultgaris - affects skin but spares orgal mucosa.
What skin condition is an autoimmune disorder with IgG antibody against epidermal basement membrane: Bullous pemphigoid
How would you test for bullous pemphigoid: Use immunoflourescent anti-human antibodies. Look for a linear pattern along the epidermal basement membrane.
What skin disorder does a linear immunoflourescent pattern along the basement membrane point to?: bullous pemphigoid
What is the clinical presentation of bullous pemphigoid?: affects skin but spares oral mucosa.
What is the difference between bullous pemphigoid and pemphigus vulgaris: bullous pemphigoid affects the skin but spares the oral mucosa, pemphigus vulgaris invovles the oral mucosa and skin
What ar two autoimmune skin disorders?: bullous pemphigoid and pemphigus vulgaris
What is pemphigus vulgaris?: Potentially fatal autoimmune skin disorder. Intradermal bullae involving the oral mucosa and skin.
What are the histologic findings in pemphigus vulgaris?: acanthosis (breakdown of epithelial cell-to-cell junctions), IgG antibody agaist epidermal cell surface (immunofluorescence througout epidermis).
What is the immunoflourescence presentation of pemphigus vulgaris vs. bullous pemphigoid: Pemphigus vulgaris has immunofluorescence througout epidermis, bullous pemphigoid only has immunoflourescence along the epidermal basement membrane (linear pattern).
What skin disease presents with acanthosis (breakdown of epithelial cell-to-cell junctions), IgG antibody agaist epidermal cell surface (immunofluorescence througout epidermis).: Pemphigus vulgaris
What skin condition presents with numerous crusted, denuded and weepy erythematous plaques all over the body and vesicles on the gingiva: Pemphigus vulgaris
What skin condition presents with erythematous plaques contiguous with large bullae: Bullous pemphigoid
What does the patient with pemphigus vulgaris look like? (3 features): numerous crusted, denuded and weepy erythematous plaques all over the body and vesicles on the gingiva
What is the physical finding in the patient with bullous pemphigiod: erythematous plagues contiguous with large bullae
