Psoriasis guttata. 0.1-2.0 cm in size, reddish, rough papules and plaques with fine-lamellar scaling on the trunk and extremities in a 24-year-old woman, acutely and de novo. This was preceded by a feverish streptococcal angina. After the first manifestations had healed, the psoriasis then developed into a chronic, intermittent course over many years.
Scabies granulomatosa, highly itchy (especially at night), solitary papules and nodules on the lower back and buttocks of an 85-year-old female patient.
Nevus, melanocytic type: Dysplastic melanoytic nevus, growth in the last 6 months, asymmetry of the tumor and the different coloration should in this case lead to an excision and histopathological examination to exclude malignancy (malignant melanoma).
Acne, keloid acne. stringy, coarse, brownish pigmented elevations in the chest area in a 24-year-old female patient on healed acne vulgaris. Medical history and clinic are pathognomonic.
Melanosis neurocutanea. general view: Huge melanocytic nevus occupying nearly the whole back with single, dark-black pigmented, partly exophytic-papillomatous parts; on the left back flat, soft, skin-coloured tumours (dewlaps) and some neurofibromas are visible.
Scabies granulomatosa; after antiscabial therapy persistent, severely itching, reddish-brown, solitary or grouped papules in an 81-year-old resident who had been treated with lindane in a scabies epidemic.
lupus erythematosus, acute cutaneous. within a few weeks developing exanthema with papules, homogeneous coin-shaped plaques confluent in places (see also Rowell`s syndrome). no feeling of illness. high titrated SSA-Ac.
Nevus, melanocytic. type: Acquired dysplastic melanocytic nevus. solitary, chronically inpatient, approx. 0.7 cm high, light accentuated spot localized at the right temple, smooth, reticularly decomposed with differently graded brown tones, blurredly limited in a 50-year-old female patient.
Melanoma, malignant, superficially spreading: Exceptionally large, 8.0x4.0 cm in diameter, regressive, completely asymptomatic malignant melanoma of the SSM type. No bleeding, no oozing. The late visit to the doctor was inexplicable after about 20 years (photo comparisons possible) of growth. The patient carefully clothed the melanoma-bearing area during free exposure to the sun.
