We report an atypical presentation of a common disease to highlight the importance of making a correct diagnosis of scabies surrepticius in front of any itchy dermatosis especially in elderly patients. The misdiagnosis of this disease results in extensive infestation, especially with the use of corticosteroids.
ABSTRACT
Syringocystadenoma Papilliferum (SCAP) is a benign adnexal tumor. Most of the cases present with a solitary lesion in the head and neck region at birth or in early childhood. In fact, only two cases of SCAP on the lower leg have been reported in the literature. We report an atypical case by its location and its clinical aspect.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Erysipeloid cutaneous leishmaniasis (ECL) is known as the chronic form of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). However, keeping its clinical presentation in view, there is a need to revisit this form of the disease. AIMS: To describe ECL in view of clinical features and treatment modalities. METHODS: We include a case series seen in Sfax (Southern Tunisia) from January 2017 to January 2021. All patients clinically suggestive and laboratory confirmed with a diagnosis of CL were registered. Patients of all age groups and of either gender having cutaneous lesions resembling erysipela on the face were included in the study. Different demographic features of the patients and clinical aspects were identified. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis. RESULTS: Of 1300 registered patients with CL, 40 (3%) were diagnosed as ECL. Ages ranged from 15 to 65 years, and duration of lesions varied from 15 to 180 days. All patients had lesions over the face. Clinically, a painful infiltrated inflammatory placard of the central facial area with a butterfly shape was observed in 14 cases, as well as zones of the cheekbone (11 cases), cheekbone and nose (5 cases), cheekbone and eyelid (8 cases), and cheekbone with ear (2 cases). Several therapeutic methods were prescribed with a sufficient result with no recurrence. CONCLUSION: ECL is a rare presentation that typically occurs on the face, looking like erysipelas, in patients who are native from an endemic region of CL.

Herein, we report a rare case of extensive ISC. It affects dark-colored skin men aged from 20 to 40 years old, suggesting an ethnic susceptibility. Pathogenesis of scrotal calcinosis remains controversial.
ABSTRACT
There have been limited reported cases of pedunculated basal cell carcinoma(BCC). Our case is original, and it combines two rare aspects of CBC: Pedunculated and giant. This uncommon aspect is rarely encountered.
