Molluscum contagiosum (MC) presents by skin lesions secondary to a viral skin infection at the expense of epidermal keratinocytes having appearances with specific intracytoplasmic inclusions caused by the smallpox virus. It is a frequent pathology that affects the skin and mucous membranes. The diagnosis of CD is easy, but when clinical features lack atypical lesions, it can hinder the diagnosis of CD. It is then that there is a need for early and easy diagnosis of CD by the ticket of the dermoscopy which is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that allows visualizing the different dermoscopic aspects that we describe through the same observation.

Onycholysis or photo-onycholysis is a partial or total separation of the nail from the nail-bed secondary to chemotherapy, either alone or associated to ultraviolet phototherapy. It’is not a common side effect of anticancer therapy, even rarer with Paclitaxel. We report here one case.

Heller’s medial canaliform dystrophy (MCD) is a rare entity characterized by the paramedian crest formation of one or both thumbnails [1]. We report a case of a 13-year-old child who was used to biting thumbnails during several stressful events and diagnosed as medial ductal dystrophy of the thumbnail.

Staphylococcus aureus can cause exfoliative skin conditions, ranging from localized bullous impetigo (BI) to staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS). The latter is a potentially life-threatening disorder, which leads to blistering of the upper layer of the skin, by the release of a circulating exotoxin. The disease especially affects infants and small children but has also been described in adults. SSSS usually presents with a prodrome of sore throat or conjunctivitis. The infection is often peri-facial impetigo, here is usually no bacteremia. Bullous impetigo, the toxin produces blisters locally at the site of infection, whereas in cases of the scalded-skin syndrome, it circulates throughout the body, causing blisters at sites distant from the infection.

Madame F, 55 years old with a story; four miscarriages and two fetal deaths in utero. At 40 years old, she had a brutal motor deficit in the left lower limb and then in the homolateral upper limb associated with left hemifacialparaesthesia with complete recovery 10 years ago.

Jadassohn's Sebaceous Hamartoma (HSJ) is a complex congenital dysembryoplasia. The tumor transformation occurs in adulthood, often in a benign form.

A 35-year-old women, without a significant pathological history, she reported the notion of lesions appearing when she was pregnant at 30 weeks of amenorrhea in the breasts, slightly itchy and evolving since one year.

The Kindler syndrome, the fourth major type of hereditary epidermolysis bullosa (HEB), is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatoses, characterized by trauma-induced blistering, cutaneous atrophy, and progressive poikiloderma, in association with mucosal inflammation. We report tow new sibling cases of this rare syndrome.

Fungiform papillae, primarily located on the tip and lateral border, or dorsum surface of the tongue and intertwined with the filiform papillae, are mushroom-shaped epithelial elevations composed of taste buds at the upper surface overlying a core of connective tissue. Pigmented fungiform papillae of the tongue is a benign condition more common in dark-skinned adults and children, is characterized by localized hyperpigmentation which is confined to these structures. We report a case of 26 year-old-woman with pigmented fungiform papillae.
