Lichen amyloidosis is a subtype of primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis (PLCA), which presents as discrete, firm, closely-set 1-3mm, dome-shapedbrown papules commonly involving the anterior aspect of shins and extensor surfaces of forearms. We present a case of an otherwise healthy man in his 30s with solitary facial involvement of lichen amyloidosis, which is very uncommon.

Tumid lupus erythematosus is a rare variant of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus that is characterized clinically by smooth, nonscarring, pink to violaceous papules or plaques without evidence of surface change. Histopathologic features include superficial and deep lymphocytic infiltration in a perivascular and periadnexal distribution, with dermal interstitial mucin deposition and focal or absent dermoepidermal junction involvement. These clinical and histopathologic features can be challenging to differentiate from other cutaneous diseases. This is particularly true because patients with tumid lupus erythematosus usually do not have other manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus or cutaneous lupus erythematosus. We present two cases of tumid lupus erythematosus, one associated with concomitant systemic lupus erythematosus and the other occurring concurrently with discoid lupus erythematosus. Furthermore, we demonstrate the rare occurrence of a patient with tumid LE occurring below the waist at a photoprotected site.

Generalized atrichia with papules is a rare disorder characterized by loss of hair shortly after birth and development of cutaneous cysts. Mutations in the hairless gene (HR) cause this phenotype in both mouse and human. Here we present a case of atrichia with papules in a patient with a normal HAIRLESS gene but with mutations in both alleles of the VITAMIN D RECEPTOR. The patient exhibited vitamin D resistant rickets, which was confirmed by an absent response of her fibroblasts to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in vitro. Similar to individuals with HAIRLESS mutations, her skin showed an absence of normal hair follicles and the presence of follicular remnants and cysts. The cyst epithelium contained keratin-15- and keratin-17-positive cells suggesting derivation from the hair follicle bulge and the presence of epithelial stem cells. Although hair loss has been reported in association with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets, we now characterize this alopecia as clinically and pathologically indistinguishable from generalized atrichia with papules, which was previously thought to be caused only by mutations in HAIRLESS. These findings suggest that VDR and HR, which are both zinc finger proteins, may be in the same genetic pathway that controls postnatal cycling of the hair follicle.

Importance Nilotinib, a recently approved multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting the BCR-Abl translocation involved in chronic myelogenous leukemia, reportedly produces alopecia according to the package insert, but clinical and histologic descriptions of the alopecia are lacking. Observations A 33-year-old woman with chronic myelogenous leukemia developed widespread alopecia involving scalp and body hair within weeks after starting nilotinib therapy. Biopsies revealed perifollicular lymphocytic inflammation and evidence of follicular injury but normal hair density, consistent with a nonscarring alopecia. Conclusions and Relevance Nilotinib therapy may induce perifollicular inflammation and widespread persistent alopecia. We present the first clinical and histologic description of this potential adverse effect. Further investigation into the underlying mechanism of this adverse effect may produce insights into the hair growth cycle as well as potential therapeutic targets.

The expression of the alpha 6 beta 4 and alpha 6 beta 1 integrins on epidermal Langerhans cells (LC) before and after mast cell degranulation was studied in cultured human neonatal foreskin by immunohistochemistry. Twenty-four hours after addition of mast cell secretagogues, morphine sulfate, or substance P, solitary mid-epidermal cells showed staining for the integrin subunits alpha 6, beta 4, and beta 1. This expression was not observed in cultured control explants, and immunostained cells were confirmed to be non-epithelial, dendritic cells by immuno-electron microscopy. The identity of these cells as LC was further established by coincident staining for alpha 6 and CD1a using double immunofluorescence labeling. Addition of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha), the predominant cytokine in mast cell granules, also induced LC to express alpha 6 integrins. Furthermore, preincubation of skin organ cultures with anti-TNF alpha antibodies or the mast cell inhibitor cromolyn sodium abrogated the ability to induce alpha 6 integrins on LC consequent to experimental mast cell degranulation by substance P. These data implicate a role for mast cell-derived TNF alpha in the regulation of the integrins alpha 6 beta 4 and alpha 6 beta 1 on LC. These findings may have important implications relevant to mechanisms for spatial localization of LC within the cutaneous compartments during immune responses.
