    Dermoscopic diagnosis of epidermal cyst
    (2019) Elmas, Omer Faruk
    Aim: The clinical features of epidermal cyst (EC) are well known, however, dermoscopic aspect of the entity has rarely been a subject of investigation. Here we aimed to identify the dermoscopic findings of EC which may increase the accuracy of diagnosis before surgical interventions. Material and Methods: The study included the patients diagnosed with EC those who applied to outpatient dermatology clinic of a tertiary center. Age and gender of the patients, disease durations, symptoms, site and size of the lesions, dermoscopic and histopathological findings were retrospectively reviewed. Results: A total of 24 lesions from 24 patients were enrolled in the study. The most common dermoscopic finding was white structureless background (96%) followed by punctum/pore sign (75%), widely distributed/branched irregular linear vessels (71%), blue-white structureless color (46%), mobility sign (41%), peripheral thick branched vessel (33%) and polychromatic structures (4%).Conclusion: We describe two novel dermoscopic features which were not described previously for EC: Mobility sign and polychromatic structures. Along with the previous studies, our study revealed that EC has a peculiar dermoscopic pattern. Dermoscopic examination may increase diagnostic accuracy before surgery making possible a management with minimal invasive procedures.Keywords: Dermatoscopy; dermoscop; epidermal cyst.

    Paederus dermatitis: An observational study
    (2019) Metin, Mahmut Sami; Elmas, Omer Faruk
    Results: A total of 44 patients were enrolled in the study. The mean age of the patients was 25.2 years. The disease peaked in August and September. The most common localization was head-neck region. On the dermatologic examination, three main clinical patterns were observed: dermatitis linearis (n=31, 70.4%), localized pustular dermatosis (n=4, 9%) and kissing dermatitis (n=7, 15.9%). Two (4.54%) cases showed a combination of two patterns. Three cases (6.8%) had periorbital involvement.br /Conclusion: Paederus dermatitis is a form of irritant contact dermatitis which can easily be misdiagnosed. Awareness about the clinical patterns of the disease and its typical features is essential for true diagnosis and management.br / Contact Dermatitis, Dermatitis Linearis, Irritant Dermatitis, Paederus Dermatitis.
