RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Guidelines and expert recommendations on infantile hemangiomas (IH) are aimed at increasing homogeneity in clinical decisions based on the risk of sequelae. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to analyze the inter- and intra-observer agreement among pediatric dermatologists in the choice of treatment for IH. METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional inter-rater and intra-rater agreement study within the Spanish infantile hemangioma registry. Twenty-seven pediatric dermatologists were invited to participate in a survey with 50 clinical vignettes randomly selected within the registry. Each vignette contained a picture of an infantile hemangioma with a clinical description. Raters chose therapy among observation, topical timolol, or oral propranolol. The same survey reordered was completed 1 month later to assess intra-rater agreement. Vignettes were stratified into hemangioma risk categories following the Spanish consensus on IH. The agreement was measured using kappa statistics appropriate for the type of data (Gwet's AC1 coefficient and Gwet's paired t test). RESULTS: Twenty-four dermatologists completed the survey. Vignettes represented 7.8% of the Spanish hemangioma registry. The inter-rater agreement on the treatment decision was fair (AC1 = 0.39, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.30-0.47). When stratified by risk category, good agreement was reached for high-risk hemangiomas (AC1 = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.51-1.00), whereas for intermediate- and low-risk categories, the agreement was only fair (AC1 0.31, 95% CI: 0.16-0.46 and AC1 = 0.38, 95% CI: 0.27-0.48, respectively). Propranolol was the main option for high-risk hemangiomas (86.4%), timolol for intermediate-risk (36.8%), and observation for low-risk ones (55.9%). The intra-rater agreement was good. The inter-rater agreement between pediatric dermatologists on the treatment of IH is only fair. Variability was most significant with intermediate- and low-risk hemangiomas.

Introducción: La incontinencia pigmenti es una genodermatosis poco frecuente, de herencia ligada al cromosoma X, que afecta a tejidos derivados del ectodermo. Nuestro objetivo es revisar de la forma más completa posible los casos diagnosticados en edad pediátrica en dos hospitales. Material y métodos: Se ha realizado un estudio transversal retrospectivo, recogiéndose datos clínicos, analíticos, radiológicos y genéticos valorados a nivel multidisciplinar de pacientes diagnosticados en la edad pediátrica de incontinencia pigmenti desde el año 2004 al 2018. Resultados: Se incluyeron 13 pacientes diagnosticados de incontinencia pigmenti, todas de sexo femenino. Se realizó estudio genético en 11 de las 13, confirmándose alteraciones compatibles en 10 de ellas. Se observó afectación extracutánea relacionada con la enfermedad a nivel neurológico (con alteraciones radiológicas en 6 casos y expresión clínica en 3 de ellas), oftalmológico (4 casos), odontológico (7 casos) y hematológico (4 casos). Conclusiones: Presentamos el estudio más completo publicado hasta ahora de incontinencia pigmenti en España. Los resultados del estudio de las manifestaciones de la enfermedad fueron similares a las series de casos más amplias publicadas a nivel internacional y refuerzan la importancia de un estudio y seguimiento multidisciplinar
Introduction: Incontinentia pigmenti is a rare genodermatosis of inheritance linked to the X chromosome that affects tissues derived from ectoderm. The aim of the study is to review, as completely as possible, the cases diagnosed in paediatric patients in two hospitals. Material and methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out, using the clinical, analytical, radiological, and genetic data of paediatric patients diagnosed with incontinentia pigmenti from 2004 to 2018. The data collected were analysed and evaluated at a multidisciplinary level. Results: A total of thirteen patients diagnosed with incontinentia pigmenti were included in the study. All of them were female. A genetic study was performed on 11 patients, which confirmed findings compatible with incontinentia pigmenti in 10 of them. Extracutaneous involvement associated with the disease was observed at neurological level (radiological findings in 6 cases, and clinical expression in 3 of them), ophthalmological level (4 cases), dental level (7 cases), and haematological level (4 cases). Conclusions: A presentation is given of the most complete study published so far of incontinentia pigmenti in Spain. In this study, the results of the disease manifestations were similar to the largest case series published internationally, which reinforces the importance of a multidisciplinary study and follow-up

BACKGROUND: The superficial lymphatic component of vascular malformations poses a significant treatment challenge. It is responsible for the majority of symptoms presented, and to date, there is no consensus regarding treatment. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of topical rapamycin in treating superficial lymphatic malformations (LM). METHODS: A case series study was performed of patients with superficial LM, treated with topical rapamycin. The clinical characteristics of patients and the concentration and application mode of the drug were recorded. The changes in the signs and symptoms observed and associated adverse effects were noted and analyzed. RESULTS: The study population consisted of 11 patients of an average age of 10.5 years. All were treated with topical rapamycin: 6 patients with a 1% concentration, 1 with a 0.8% concentration, and 4 with a 0.4% concentration. Changes in the clinical appearance of the lesions were observed in all patients. The associated symptoms, present in 9 of 11 patients, improved in every case. The mean follow-up time was 16.1 months. LIMITATIONS: This study is retrospective, with a small sample size and considerable heterogeneity of lesions and treatment approaches. CONCLUSION: Treatment with topical rapamycin modifies the clinical appearance and alleviates symptoms of superficial LM.

BACKGROUND: Recent reports indicate that tufted angioma is a rare vascular neoplasm that manifests more frequently at birth than previously thought. Few studies specifically address congenital presentation. OBJECTIVES: We analyzed the clinicopathological characteristics, clinical course, and treatment of congenital tufted angioma (cTA) and evaluated variables that were indicative of problematic lesions. METHODS: We performed an observational retrospective study of 30 patients with cTA in 9 Spanish hospitals over a 14-year period. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry studies were performed. RESULTS: Congenital tufted angioma mainly affected the limbs (56.67%), followed by the face and/or neck (23.33%). Almost three-quarters of facial cTA were located over the mandibular area. Immunohistochemically, proliferating cells expressed markers of endothelial cells, with some clusters of cells, especially at the periphery of the aggregates, showing positivity for podoplanin. As no associated complications were observed in 66.67% of cases, no treatment was started. LIMITATIONS: Data were collected retrospectively. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings emphasize the clinical features and course of cTA. The possibility of cTA should be considered when a poorly defined congenital infiltrative vascular tumor with(out) overlying hirsutism appears over the mandibular area. Location on the face and/or neck requires a more comprehensive workup, since potentially severe complications often appear early.
