RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Perforating dermatoses are heterogeneous skin disorders characterized by transepidermal elimination of dermal tissue components. Acquired perforating dermatoses can be divided into four types, according to the eliminated dermal materials: Kyrle disease, perforating reactive collagenosis, elastosis perforans serpiginosa, and perforating folliculitis. They characterize adult patients with coexisting systemic diseases, regardless of the dermal materials eliminated. The association between Kyrle disease and renal failure or diabetes mellitus is common. CASE REPORT: We reported the case of Kyrle disease in a patient with chronic kidney disease. A literature review was performed with the aim to highlight the associated comorbidities and point out the role of early and specific treatment of the cutaneous symptoms and manifestations. CONCLUSIONS: Being Kyrle disease a pruritic condition which adversely affects the patient's quality of life, it would be desirable to place greater therapeutic attention on the alleviation of itching and on the correct management of the underlying comorbidity.

BACKGROUND: Several cutaneous manifestations in patients undergoing COVID-19 vaccination have been described in literature. CASE REPORT: Herein, we present a case of alopecia universalis that occurred after the first and second dose of Comirnaty vaccine. A bibliographic search was conducted and a total of 14 studies concerning the association were reviewed. CONCLUSIONS: Given the autoimmune pathogenesis of the disease, we discussed the potential role of SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination as a trigger for the development of hair loss. Physicians should be aware of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine-related hair loss and properly treat this undesirable effect.

OBJECTIVE: Bazex syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic skin disorder of unknown pathogenesis. Cutaneous findings are usually noticed before the diagnosis of the underlying malignancy, more frequently squamous cell carcinomas of the upper aerodigestive tract or metastasis to cervical lymph nodes. Association with other malignancies has been reported. CASE REPORT: Herein, we describe a case in course of metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma and review the relevant literature. RESULTS: A bibliographic search was conducted and a total of 8 studies concerning the association were reviewed. CONCLUSIONS: Physicians be aware of unexpected cutaneous conditions as a possible sign of underlying tumors.

Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) is a rare chronic granulomatous degenerative skin disease by unknown causes, which is mostly associated with diabetes mellitus, usually presenting with typical plaques of the shins. Although less common, some ulcerative forms may be seen in clinical practice. The occurrence of an atypical presentation in one of our patients was the occasion to review the pertinent literature.
