Here, in this case, congo red stain was used for a definite diagnosis of ACD.[[12]] Various treatment modalities have been described for the treatment of ACD with varying success rates. The clinical, histopathological and treatment profile of these published cases of ACD has been compiled in [Table 1].[[4]],[[5]],[[6]],[[7]],[[8]],[[9]],[[10]]{Table 1} ACD must be differentiated from other causes of dyschromia including dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria, xeroderma pigmentosum and poikiloderma-like amyloidosis. Sir, In 1970, Morishima et al. introduced amyloidosis cutis dyschromica (ACD), a rare variant of primary cutaneous amyloidosis (PCA). [Extracted from the article]

Rhinophyma (Greek "nose growth") benign skin deformity characterized by tumorous growth leading to a large, bulbous, and erythematous appearing nose. It is a rare subtype of phymatous rosacea. The exact pathogenesis is still not known. It can lead to considerable cosmetic impairment with psychosocial implications and poses a risk of developing an occult malignancy. Early diagnosis and treatment is imperative to avoid these complications. Herein, we report a case of a 47-year-old man presenting with rhinophyma who was treated with ultra plus CO2laser.

Congenital melanocytic nevi are benign proliferations of cutaneous melanocytes that arise as a result of abnormal growth, development, or migration of melanoblasts. Clinically, the giant congenital nevus is greater than 20 cm in size, pigmented and often hairy. The risk of malignant melanoma for the giant nevi is almost 6%. Fifty percent of the melanomas develop by the age of 2 years and, 80% of the melanomas develop by the age of 7 years. Hence, early management is of paramount importance. Herein, we present a case of giant nevi along with a review of the literature in order to bring awareness among clinicians towards this rare albeit significant entity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
