1. Perforating disorders By DR.MOHAMMED ALSHAHWAN
SUPERVISED BY DR.FAHAD ALSAIF
2. #DEFINITION:
A group of conditions characterized by
Transepithelial elimination of dermal
Substance pathologically &umbilicated
Papules w central white keratotic crusts
Clinically
3. *IN 1916 Kyrle described (hyperkeratosis
follicularis et parafollicularis in cutem penetrans)
*IN 1968 Mehregan&Coskey described
Perforating folliculitis
*IN 1982 White&Hurwitz described reactive perforating collagenosis
4. *Rapini &colleagues delineated this disorder as acquired perforating dermatosis.
*Miescher described (ELASTOSIS PERFORANS SERPIGINOSA)
5. 1.KYRLE DISEASE:
#Etiology:
*AR
*pathogenic event is uncoupling of
epithelial proliferation&differentiation
6. #Pathology:
*early lesions:
Focal parakeratosis,acanthosis&cells of
The basal layer increase in number and
Disorganized.
*late lesions:
Follicular infundibulum/acrosyringium
Dilated w funnel-shaped horny plug.
7. Advancing parakeratotic column perforate
The BMZ(at opening of sebaceous gland
Duct&the pit of acrosyringium)
*before perforation---mononuclear cell
after perforation---PMNC--granuloma--scar
*perifollicular epidermis
*pefroration is not must for diagnosis and occur less common in kyrle disease
8. #Clinical features:
*chronic &difficult to treat
*In 3rd-5th decades &more in female
*Asymptomatic or slightly pruritic
*not associated w systemic disease
*can involve extensors,scapular area,hands,feet and perianal-perigenital areas
*different stages of lesions leaving atrophic scar
And patchy hypo/hyperpigmentation
9. #Treatment:
*NO specific Tx
*topical keratolytics/retinoids
*tissue-destructive modalities e.g. cryotherapy,CO2 laser.
*oral retinoids very effective alone or w
PUVA(RePUVA).
10. 2.PERFORATING FOLLICULITIS:
#Etiology:
*pathogenic event is follicular wall
perforation
*chemical components of textiles or fragment or hairs.
11. #Pathology:
*early lesions--suppurative folliculitis
*late lesions---perforation occur at
infundibular portion w keratotic plug contain keratotic debris,neutrophils,
elastic fibers then gradully chronic
inflammatory infiltrate w granloma formation engulfing elastic fibers
.
.
12. *healing lesions---follicular epithelium
start to sequestrate the content into
hair follicle.
#Treatment:
*NO specific Tx
*phototherapy(PUVA&UVB)
13. 3.REACTIVE PERFORATING COLLAGENOSIS:
#Etiology:
*UNKNOWN
*abnormal cutenous response to trauma due to dermal vasculopathy.
*exocytosis and disintegration of PMNC releasing proteolytic enzymes
*foreign-body reaction to altered dermal substances
14. *dermal microdeposits of crystalline
substance e.g(hydrpxyapatite,uric acid)
*dysregulated metabolism of vitamins
A&D
*high serum level and dermal depostion of
fibronectin
*2ND to perforation.
*regenrating epidermis theory.
15. #Pathology:
*invaginations of the epidermis containing
multiple perforations(Occasionally hair
follicles/shafts or microdeposits)
*early lesionssuppurative reaction
late lesionsgranuloma
healing lesionsregenaration of epidermis
long-standing lesionssigns of scrathing
16. #Clinical features:
*chronic
*very prurtic(+ve koebner phenomenon)
*different stages of lesions wout major scaring.
*associated w CRF+/-DM,CAH,CLD,HIV
HZV,malignancy,sclerosing cholangitis
Hypothyrodism&hyperparathyrodism
17. #Treatment:
*Treating the associated disease e.g.
CRF or DM
*reducing trauma (scratching) by topical
antipruritic agents e.g.menthol,phenol or camphor and antiflammatory e.g topical
steroids
18. *topical keratolytic/tretinoin
*tissue-destructive treatments e.g. cryotherapy
*phototherapy(UVB,PUVA &NBUVB)
*systemic therapies:
- oral retinoids e.g. isotetinoin
- oral allopurinol 100mg OD
*other therapies: systemic rifampicin,TCENS
19. 4.ELASTOSIS PERFORANS SERPIGINOSA:
#Etiology:
*pathogenic event is abnormal elastin
eliminated through epidermis
*D-penicillamine
*Genosyndroms e.g.Downs,osteogenesis imperfecta,Marfans,EDS,cutis laxa,
Rothmund-Thompson syndrome and
pseudoxanthoma elasticum
20. * Familial cases(AD)?
* C.T.D
#Pathology:
*superficial perivascular& interstital
Mainly neutrophils
*abnormal elastic fibers in the upper dermis
*channels of epithelium through epidermis
Containing neutrophils,depris,parakeratotic cells
And abnormal elastic fibers
21. #Clinical features:
*2mm-1cm keratotic papules arranged in
serpiginous arcs around atrophic skin
on the neck,extremities and rarely trunk.
*rare systemic involvement e.g. rupture
of aorta
22. #Treatment:
*Isotretinoin
*cryotherapy
*ultrapulse CO2 laser
