Background: Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic disorder of unknown etiology that can affect multiple organs, including the lungs, skin, and eyes. Vulvar sarcoidosis has anecdotally been reported. Objective: The aim of this article is to describe a case of vulvar sarcoidosis and review the few cases that have been reported. Methods: We report the case of a 39-year-old woman who presented to the dermatologist with a 2-year history of vulvar pruritus. Results: Examination revealed infiltrated plaques on the vulva and perianal region. The biopsy demonstrated well-defined, nonnecrotizing granulomas in the dermis. Further investigation revealed hilar adenopathy consistent with sarcoidosis. The patient responded well to topical corticosteroids. Conclusion: In the presence of granulomatous lesions of the genital region, infectious causes, foreign body reaction, Crohn disease, and sarcoidosis should be part of the differential diagnosis.

AbstractBackground:Dermoid cysts in the floor of the mouth are relatively uncommon developmental lesions. They are thought to arise in the midline and along the lines of embryonic fusion of the facial processes containing ectodermal tissue.Case report:A 17-year-old female presented with a 3-month history of a growing, progressive swelling in the mouth floor. Clinical examination revealed a rather large symmetrical, soft swelling in the mouth floor, displacing the tongue superiorly. The fast growing nature and size of the lesion raised suspicion of potential compromise to the airway. Surgical excision was therefore performed.Conclusion:Differential diagnosis of cystic lesions in the floor of the mouth is of paramount importance, as the recommended surgical techniques vary depending on the anatomical position of the lesions. The intraoral approach is preferred for those lesions that do not extend beyond the mylohyoid muscle boundaries; this leads to a satisfactory cosmetic and functional outcome.

The term gossypiboma is used to describe a retained surgical sponge after operation. It is a rare but serious complication which is seldom reported because of the medicolegal implications. Gossypiboma usually has varied and vague presentation and is also difficult to detect on radiological investigations. It can even remain silent and present years after the operation. We report a case of a 38-year-old lady who presented with vague pain and chronic lump in the right iliac fossa region. She had a history of cesarean section 4 years ago. Radiological investigations were inconclusive in detecting the retained sponge. A working diagnosis of mesenteric cyst was made and an exploratory laparotomy was done where she was found to have a large gossypiboma densely adhered to the small bowel and surrounding structures. Though rare, gossypiboma should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis in postoperative cases presenting as vague pain or chronic lump even years after the operation.

Cherubism is described as a rare and benign hereditary bone disease, characterized by a bilateral volumetric increase in the maxillary bones, with a greater predilection for males in childhood. Clinically, it presents as a volumetric enlargement of the mandible and, maxilla, which is generally painless, firm on palpation and varies in relation to size and extension. Its differential diagnosis is the Brown Tumor of Hyperparathyroidism and the Central Lesion of Giant Cells. The diagnosis is based on the assessment of clinical characteristics together with complementary exams. The objective of this study was to carry out a brief review of the literature and report a clinical case of this pathology in a 9-year-old child with a family history of cherubism, assessed through imaging, histopathological and karyotype exams, which continues to be assisted by the oral and maxilofacial surgery team of the Faculdade de Odontologia de Araçatuba - FOA Unesp since the treatment of the cherubism still does not have a definitive protocol.

Metastasis of the thyroid carcinoma to the paranasal sinuses is rarely reported. Among these sinuses, metastasis to the maxillary sinus alone has been reported only in a few cases. This is the first reported case in a 76-year-old woman with papillary thyroid carcinoma metastasizing to the maxillary sinus alone and resected through endoscopic sinonasal surgery. When patients have sinus lesions and a history of malignancy, metastasis should be included in the differential diagnosis. If they have an isolated metastatic lesion to the paranasal sinus, ESS, either palliative or radical, can be a useful treatment option.

INTRODUCTION: Ashy dermatosis is a rare dermatosis of unknown etiology and pathogenesis, more common in people with darker skin. However, in this case report, the patient is white. CASE REPORT: A 54-year-old white woman with a history of asymptomatic gray-stained macules located on the craniocaudal axis. Despite a positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) test, the use of Plaquinol was suspended due to the fact that the patient did not present rheumatologic affections. A biopsy compatible with the condition of ashy dermatosis and post-inflammation pigmentation was performed. However, the anatomopathological examination revealed superficial perivascular dermatitis with pigmented incontinence and skin fragments, a discreet superficial perivascular inflammatory mononuclear infiltrate and mild pigmentary incontinence, confirming the clinical hypothesis of ashy dermatosis. A skin lightening lotion (Arbutin 4%, Chromabright 0.5%, Alfabisabol 1%, Nicotinamide 4%, Kojico Acid 3%, Nonionic Cream) was used for 30 days with satisfactory results, along with the substitution of antihypertensive medication. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: The report is relevant because it is necessary to know this pathology for differential diagnosis of pigmented dermatosis and so that the best treatment can be prescribed. Keywords: Ashy Dermatosis; Hyperpigmentation; Erythema Dyschromicum Perstans. RESUMO INTRODUÇÃO: A dermatose cinzenta é uma dermatose rara, de etiologia e patogenia desconhecida, mais comum em pessoas de pele mais escura, porém no caso relatado a paciente é branca. RELATO DE CASO: Mulher de 54 anos de idade, branca, com história de máculas de coloração acinzentada, assintomáticas, localizadas no eixo craniocaudal. Apesar do FAN positivo, o uso de Plaquinol foi suspenso pela paciente não apresentar afecção reumatológica. Foi realizada uma biópsia compatível com o quadro de dermatose cinzenta bem como pigmentação pós-inflamação. No entanto, no exame anatomopatológico foi encontrada dermatite perivascular superficial com incontinência pigmentar e em fragmentos de pele, um discreto infiltrado inflamatório mononuclear perivascular superficial e leve incontinência pigmentar, confirmando a hipótese clínica de dermatose cinzenta. Uma loção clareadora (Arbutin 4%, Chromabright 0,5%, Alfabisabol 1%, Nicotinamida 4%, Ácido Kojico 3%, Creme não iônico) foi utilizada por 30 dias apresentando resultados satisfatórios, além da substituição do anti-hipertensivo. CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS: O relato é relevante pois deve-se conhecer essa patologia para diagnose diferencial das dermatoses pigmentadas e desta forma optar pela melhor conduta terapêutica. Palavras-chave: Dermatose cinzenta; Hiperpigmentação;  Eritema Discrômico Persistente.

Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli, a rare condition of unknown etiology, was first described by Kitamura et al. from Japan in 1960. It is characterized by a triad consisting of well-demarcated erythema, hyperpigmentation, and follicular papules. We report the case of a 50-year-old Caucasian male, who had asymptomatic symmetrical facial lesions since the age of 42. His family history was unremarkable. Published erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli cases of the last 10 years are summarized in this report to demonstrate the variability and differences in the clinical presentation of this uncommon diagnosis.

Ovarian torsion after hysterectomy is a rare event. The diagnosis of ovarian torsion is challenging because symptoms are nonspecific. We present a case of ovarian torsion 2 years after laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH). Furthermore, we performed a literature review about ovarian torsion after hysterectomy. This case shows that, in cases of acute onset pelvic pain in patients with history of hysterectomy, the adnexal torsion must be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis, especially in those women who had undergone LH.

Rare Case Report

Polycystic (dysgenetic) disease of the salivary glands is a rare entity that has only recently been described in the literature. The disease is more commonly seen in females and majority of the cases have presented as bilateral parotid gland swellings. This case presenting in a 21-year-old male is the first of this unusual entity involving solely the minor salivary gland on the lower lip. This case report highlights the importance for the clinician to be aware of this differential diagnosis, when treating an innocuous lesion like a mucocele.

Lymphangioma Circumscriptum

Genital warts are common relative to other verrucous lesions of the anogenital region. Consideration of the differential diagnosis of verrucous anogenital lesions is necessary, however, to make a correct diagnosis consistently and to avoid futile, painful, and possibly traumatic attempts at treatment. In this report, I describe a child with a history suspicious for sexual abuse who was treated with inappropriate measures because of misdiagnosis of perianal lymphangioma circumscriptum as genital warts. The pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, and treatment of lymphangioma is presented. CASE REPORT A 5-year-old Hispanic boy was referred by his pediatrician to the Dermatology Service with an eruption of red papules on the left buttock and perianal region.
