Ultrasonographical evaluation of the Achilles’ tendon in psoriasis patients

International Journal of Dermatology (2004)

Levent Özçakar Alp Çetin Fatma İnanıcı Bayram Kaymak Cansel Köse Gürer

Psoriasis is a common dermatological disease with erythematous plaques where articular and extra articular findings (tenosynovitis and enthesitis) may well accompany. The aim of this current study was to evaluate the Achilles' tendon of psoriasis patients with ultrasonography.The study comprised 30 psoriasis patients and 20 healthy controls. Ankle ultrasonography was performed with posterior approach, the joint in neutral or in a little dorsiflexed position. The statistical analysis was carried out with a Student's t-test and Spearman correlation tests.The mean values of Achilles' tendon thickness of two groups were compared: the psoriatic group was found to have thicker tendon measurements (P = 0.00). The tendons of the patients with radiologically proven enthesopathy were found to be even thicker (P = 0.001).We encourage the use of diagnostic ultrasonography for evaluation of enthesopathy manifestations in psoriasis patients as an adjunct to conventional methods owing to its convenience and promising results.

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (2006)

Abstract Background Mastocytosis is a rare, heterogeneous group of disorder with abnormal increase of mast cells in one or more organ systems. Objective To evaluate the demographic and clinical features of cutaneous mastocytosis (CM). Methods Records of 55 patients with cutaneous mastocytosis were retrospectively analysed. Results Of the 22 females and 33 males, 80% had urticaria pigmentosa/maculopapular CM and 20% had mastocytoma. Of all cases, 81.8% had first lesions in childhood. The most common presentation was involvement of trunk together with extremities. Thirteen (23.6%) patients had history of bulla; Darier's sign was positive in 34 of 38 patients. Itching was the most common complaint, provocated by hot weather/bath. Conclusion Clinical presentations of urticaria pigmentosa/maculopapular CM and mastocytoma are similar regarding gender, age of onset, age of diagnosis, and presence of Darier's sign and history of bulla. In contrast to mastocytoma, urticaria pigmentosa/maculopapular CM lesions were frequently located on trunk together with extremities.
