    Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis with lymphangitis triggered by a spider bite
    (2010) Ermertcan A.T.; Demirer O.; Inanir I.; Bilaç C.; Temiz P.
    Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare, severe cutaneous reaction pattern that, in the majority (>90%) of cases, is related to administration of medication. It can be seen in both genders and in all ages. The cutaneous manifestations of AGEP are usually seen 1-14 days after drug administration. A 39-year-old woman presented to our outpatient clinic with the complaint of generalized erythema, burning, and rash. She explained that 2 days before presentation a spider bite had occurred on her left forearm, after which she had experienced pain and erythema spreading gradually to the left upper extremity. On her dermatologic examination, she had an indurated necrotic plaque on the left forearm, which had an upward-spreading linear erythema. Additionally, she had diffuse erythema on her body and small pustules over erythematous skin, especially located on the left popliteal fossa and gluteal region. Based on the clinical and histopathologic findings, she was diagnosed as having AGEP. Because there was no drug use in her history, we attributed her AGEP lesions to the spider bite. This case is interesting, because the patient also had lymphangitis. Herein, we present the fifth case reported in the literature of AGEP caused by a spider bite. © 2010 Informa UK Ltd.

    (2011) Türel Ermertcan A.; Gençoǧlan G.; Demirer O.; Öztürk F.; Temiz P.
    Dermatological examination of a 12 year old girl with the complaint of brownish-black spots and itching on left axilla for approximately one year revealed hyperpigmented papules and plaques on the left axillary region. On dermoscopic examination of the lesions network structure associated with typical epidermal pigmentation was seen. Histopathologic examination of biopsy specimen taken from the lesions showed superficial hyperkeratosis, papillomatosis and acanthosis in the epidermis, mild perivascular chronic inflammatory cell infiltration in the dermis. The case, resembling acanthosis nigricans, linear verrucous epidermal nevus and zosteriform lichen planus at first sight, was diagnosed as acanthosis nigricans form of epidermal nevus with clinical, dermoscopic and histopathologic findings. The patient was treated with topical retinoic acid and showed significant improvement in the follow ups. Herein, with respect of our interesting case due to the atypical clinical appearence and rarely definition in the literature, clinical features, differential diagnosis, dermoscopic and histopathological findings of acanthosis nigricans form of epidermal nevus will be discussed.

    Nonsyndromic giant basal cell carcinoma with follicular differentiation and multifocal localized basal cell carcinoma
    (2013) Usluer A.; Yoleri L.; Kandiloğlu A.R.; Bali Z.; Demirer O.; İnanr I.
    Basal cell carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of the skin. The most important feature is its very slow growth rate. It takes many years to reach gigantic dimensions. Various syndromes have been defined in which basal cell carcinoma exists in multiple localizations in a single patient. A case of basal cell carcinoma with multiple localizations and gigantic dimensions which is not classified as a syndrome is described in this case report. © 2013 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.
