Angiokeratoma of the glans penis. multiple, chronically stationary, 0.2-0.4 cm large, blue-red to brownish papules with partly smooth, partly scaly surface in the area of the corona glandis. these are congenital, circumscribed vascular ectasias.
Aplasia cutis congenita. a sharply defined, whitish-yellowish, shallowly sunken, hairless area with atrophic, parchment-like skin surface, existing since birth. on incident light microscopy any follicular structures are missing.
Aplasia cutis congenita. detail magnification: Classically specular, slightly sunken, light yellow macula with smooth surface. in the marginal area, in the lower left picture, a smaller area with tufted hairs is visible.
Aplasia cutis congenita. general view: 1.5 x 1.2 cm in size, hairless, slightly sunken, yellowish-whitish area with shiny surface, existing since birth, unchanged for years except for size increase during physical growth.
arteriitis temporalis. suddenly appeared, bizarrely configured, only moderately painful, large ulcerations covered with black crusts. prominent and on palpation strand-like indurated A. temporalis (right side). neither right nor left side positive flow signal over the temporal arteries.
Atheroma Solitary, chronically stationary, sharply defined, approx. 3.0 x 1.5 cm, bulging elastic, largely hairless tumor in the area of the capillitium; no detectable central porus.
Atheroma Chronic stationary, growing imperceptibly for more than 10 years, solitary, sharply defined, on the base well movable, indolent, plumply elastic, about 5.0 cm large, skin-colored, smooth lump.
Atrichia congenita diffusa. detail enlargement: forehead and parietal region of an 18-month-old boy in whom eyebrows, eyelashes and scalp hair have been missing since birth. hair, sebaceous gland and follicle structures are clearly visible.
Tufted hairs:Folliculitis decalvans: Scar plate with wicklike tufts of hair in the centre, also in the marginal area of the scarring (see also under Folliculitis decalvans).
Cornu cutaneum: multiple plaques and nodules with exophytic growth and hyperkeratotic surface, localized on the actinic massive pre-damaged capillitium of an elderly patient.
Culicosis. disseminated, irregularly configured, intensely itchy, intensely red, urticarial papules and papulo vesicles, appeared about 3-4 hours after an insect bite. the skin symptoms can persist for "weeks", itching!
Cutis verticis gyrata: Lateral profile of the capillitium of a 26-year-old patient (bodybuilder), who after extensive use of anabolic steroids developed these cerebriform thickenings, furrows and folds of the capillitium, which had been progressive for 6 months.
Cutis verticis gyrata: cerebriform thickenings, furrows and folds of the capillitium which have existed for years but are increasing; cause unknown; no familial occurrence.
Dyskeratosis follicularis: Infestation of the palms of the hands; in central areas of the palm flat, common keratoses, at the ball of the thumb about 0.1-0.2 cm large, glassy papules.
Dyskeratosis follicularis: 74-year-old woman. large , hyperkeratotic zones with reddish, partly macerated papules and firmly adhering, partly eroded, confluent keratoses on the capillitium and in the facial area preauricularly, existing since early childhood. the patient has a somewhat neglected appearance. the skin lesions have a foetal odour. the lesions increase with sweating or heat, especially in the warm season.
Favus. solitary, acute, approx. 3.0 x 2.5 cm, acutely acute, approx. 3.0 x 2.5 cm in size, localized on the capillitium, sharply defined, plumply raised, clearly increased in consistency, white, rough, with yellow crusts, asymptomatic plaque in a 7-year-old boy. A slight mouse urine smell was noticed during the examination.
folliculitis decalvans. low inflammatory, "burnt out" disease state. appearance of scarred alopecia with discrete, heart-shaped reddening around the marginal hair follicles. the present condition approaches the finding of "pseudopelade brocq".
Folliculitis decalvans. 12 months of persistent scarring hair loss, with initially slight itching in a 66-year-old female patient. In addition to purulent folliculitis, tufted hairs with surrounding erythema and numerous small, shiny, hairless areas appear.
