Abstract :

Aim: To present five interesting competitive pediatric cases rarely seen in the dermatology practice and discuss their management with highlight on the literature. Case-1: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans at an unusual site in a 9-year-old child which was the location of a previous central venous line insertion in the left supraclavicular area. A complete excision of the tumor with a wide surgical margin of 3 cm of visibly uninvolved tissue was performed. Case-2: Naxos disease is an autosomal recessive genodermatosis characterized by palmoplantar keratoderma, woolly hair and cardiomyopathy. We describe an early case of Naxos disease in a Saudi child and we briefly review the literature of this disorder. Case-3: Panniculitis in Niemann-Pick Disease is a condition characterized by the recurrent appearance of inflammatory nodules in the subcutaneous fat. In this report, an infant affected with Niemann-Pick disease and recurrent lobular panniculitis will be discussed. Case-4: Familial cutaneous collagenoma is an inherited connective tissue nevus which presents with asymptomatic symmetrically distributed skin nodules on the trunk or upper limbs. Here, we describe a case of a 12-year-old girl with collagenoma affecting the lower back. Case-5: Post vaccination Morphea has been occasionally reported in the medical literature. In this report we add to these few cases which were related to Hepatitis B vaccination.
