There have been several reports of dupilumab use and the development of CTCL; however, the risk of CTCL development has not been adequately evaluated at the population level. The objective of this study is to determine whether dupilumab administration for AD is associated with an increased risk of developing CTCL and to identify at-risk populations within this group. This retrospective cohort study used TriNetX, a deidentified medical record database including over 107 million patients, to identify eligible patients. Treatment and control groups were evaluated for the development of CTCL. Patients of any age with a documented diagnosis of AD were …
Hairy Tongue Associated With The Use Of Baricitinib Therapy For Ophiasis Pattern Alopecia Areata, Anthony Gaspari
Hairy Tongue Associated With The Use Of Baricitinib Therapy For Ophiasis Pattern Alopecia Areata, Anthony Gaspari
Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Biology Faculty Papers
We report a case of hairy tongue that developed in a young Caucasian
woman during systemic baricitinib therapy for severe alopecia areata.
Because she experienced good clinical regrowth of her hair during
treatment, she did not want to interrupt therapy. We recommended she
use a toothbrush to debride her tongue on a daily basis, which was
successful. Hairy tongue most commonly occurs in elderly, debilitated
males with poor oral hygiene. It is thought to occur because of overgrowth
of chromogenic bacteria and/or yeast on the tongue. This unusual side
effect during baricitinib therapy suggests that immune suppression may
play a …

An intact barrier function of the skin is important in maintaining skin health. The regulation of the skin barrier depends on a multitude of molecular and immunological signaling pathways. By examining the regulation of a healthy skin barrier, including maintenance of the acid mantle and appropriate levels of ceramides, dermatologists can better formulate solutions to address issues that are related to a disrupted skin barrier. Conversely, by understanding specific skin barrier disruptions that are associated with specific conditions, such as atopic dermatitis or psoriasis, the development of new compounds could target signaling pathways to provide more effective relief for patients. …

Pigmented purpuric lichenoid dermatitis (PPLD) is a rare subtype of pigmented purpuric dermatosis, which classically presents with a mixture of lichenoid papules and patches on the bilateral lower extremities. Herein, we describe an unusual case of a 47-year-old man with PPLD who presented with 1-3mm discrete papules without the presence of larger patches. The diagnosis of PPLD should be considered for patients presenting with bilateral symmetric discrete papules on the legs.

Junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) patients experience skin and epithelial fragility due to a pathological deficiency in genes associated with epidermal adhesion. Disease severity ranges from post-natal lethality to localized skin involvement with persistent blistering followed by granulation tissue formation and atrophic scarring. We evaluated the potential of utilizing Trametinib, an MEK inhibitor previously shown to target fibrosis, with and without the documented EB-anti-fibrotic Losartan for reducing disease severity in a mouse model of JEB; Lamc2jeb mice. We found that Trametinib treatment accelerated disease onset and decreased epidermal thickness, which was in large part ameliorated by Losartan treatment. Interestingly, a range …

Collagen VI-related myopathies are characterized by severe muscle involvement and skin involvement (keratosis pilaris and impaired healing with the development of abnormal scars, especially keloids). Scalp involvement and hair loss have not been reported among cutaneous changes associated with collagen VI mutations. The aim of this study is to describe the clinical, trichoscopic, and histological findings of the scalp changes in patients affected by COL VI mutations and to estimate their prevalence. Patients with Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy were enrolled and underwent clinical and trichoscopic examinations and a scalp biopsy for histopathology. Five patients were enrolled, and all complained of …
