Dermal Melanosis


occurring in 96% of black, 46% of Hispanic, and 10% of white newborns


Associated with GM1 gangliosidosis and Hurler syndrome

The nevus of Ota

congenital melanocytic lesion that is located on the face in the distribution of the first or second divisions of the trigeminal nerve on the periorbital region, temple, forehead, and nose .

The nevus of Ito

melanocytic

lesion that appears on the shoulder, neck, and upper arm.

Congenital melanocytic nevi


-may present at birth and are due to disrupted migration of melanocytes


-brown to black in color and less than 1.5 cm in diameter, although giant CMN may be 20 cm or more in diameter and contain significant hair on the surface.


-High risk for melanoma. Consultation with a pediatric dermatologist should be considered with these lesions.

nevus sebaceous, also called nevus sebaceous of Jadassohn


hamartoma involving the epidermis, hair follicles, and sebaceous and apocrine glands



Nevus sebaceous may be an isolated finding, or it may occur as part of a constellation of findings, such as the neurocutaneous disorder linear nevus sebaceous syndrome (LNSS) (Schimmelpenning-Feuerstein-Mims syndrome, Solomon syndrome). The characteristic triad of findings for LNSS is a midline nevus sebaceous, seizures, and intellectual disability.



Recent studies indicate that only a small percentage of lesions develop tumors, and the majority of these tumors are benign. Basal cell cancer is the most common malignancy associated with nevus sebaceous, occurring in fewer than 2% of lesions.

Nevus sebaceous triad

Nevus sebaceous may occur as part of the linear sebaceous nevus syndrome, a triad of nevus sebaceous, seizures, and intellectual disability.

Phakomatosis

Erythema multiforme types

EM minor, EM major, Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN)

Erythema multiforme causes

EM is an immune-mediated hypersensitivity reaction most commonly associated with herpes simplex virus, mycoplasma pneumonia, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, sulfonamides, antiepileptics, and antibiotics.

Difference between Steven Johnson and TEN

Stevens-Johnson syndrome and TEN are a clinical spectrum of immune-mediated hypersensitivity reactions presenting as a febrile, erosive stomatitis, with ocular involvement, and a widely distributed rash of dark macules with a necrotic center. Other skin lesions seen in this spectrum include violaceous macules, flat atypical target lesions, bullae, and erosions. TEN manifests with extensive loss of epidermis secondary to necrosis. Cases with more than 30% body surface area affected by epidermal detachment are considered TEN, whereas SJS will have less than 10% body surface area involvement. Mortality in SJS is less than 5%, whereas mortality in TEN is close to 30%
