Q
A
Dermatomyositis
- Heliotrope Rash
- Multisystem disorder affecting the skin and skeletal muscles but may affect other organ systems such as the joints, esophagus, heart, and lungs
- Believed to be an autoimmune process targeting the endothelium of endomysial capillaries leading to vascular compromise.
- Genetic predisposition
12
Q
A
Lupus Erythematosus
- Multisystem autoimmune disorder of unkown origin; likely the result of envrionmental factors (UV light, viruses, drugs, and hormones)
13
Q
A
Plaque Morphea
- Begin as poorly defined areas of non-pitting edema
- Circumscribed, purplish or lilac indurated plaques develop
- Eventually the surface becomes ivory colored, smooth, and shiny
- Over several years, skin becomes atrophic often with residual hyperpigmentation
13
Q
A
Vitiligo
- Acquired loss of pigmentation most likely due to formation of Ab to epidermal melanocytes
- Two main types:
- Type A: symmetrical well-defined white macules and patches progressing slowly over many years; halo nevi, Koebner’s phenomenon, and immunologic diseased may coexist
- Type B: segmental or asymmetric distribution
13
Q
A
Cutaneous Vasculitits
- Henoch-Schonlein Purpura
14
Q
A
Systemic Scleraderma
- Other findings:
- Musculoskeletal: arthralgia, myalgia, weakness, loss of ROM
- GI tract: reflux dx, dysphagia
- Lungs: Dyspnea, restrictive lung dx, pulmonary HTN
- Cardiovascular: conduction abnormalities, CHF, effusions, myocardial fibrosis
- Kidneys: HTN, renal crisis, chronic renal insifficiency

21
Chronic Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
23
Cutaneous Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis
- Usually localized to the skin, but may manifest in other organs
- Palpable purpura, hemorrhagic macules and/or vesicles, urticarial lesions
- Lesions may coalesce to form plaques, ulceration possible, but uncommon
- Most frequently found on lower legs
- Fever, malaise, burning pain, pruritis may be present
24
Dermatomyositis
-Heliotrope Rash
25
Bullous Pemphigoid
- Autoimmune disorder characterized by subepidermal blistering
- Mostly a disease of the elderly
- May initially present as urticarial lesions with severe pruritis
- Classic lesions are large, tense bullae with good structural integrity (compared to flaccid, easily ruptured bullae of pemphigus)
- Negative Nikolsky's sign
- Bullae rupture leaving an eroded base that heals rapidly without scarring
26
Cutaneous Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis/Angiitis
- AKA: Cutaneous Small Vessel Vasculitis and hypersensitivity, vasculitis or drug/infection-induced vasculitis
- S/S: Medication at dx onset, palpable purpura, maculopapular rash
- Causes include medications, streptococcus and numerous other infections, Henoch-Schonlein purpura, connective tissue disease, malignancies, serum sickness, HCV
27
Chronic Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
- Scale
29
Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
29
Systemic Scleraderma
- Initially presents with edema and induration of hands and feet
- Raynaud's phenomenon
- Progresses to bilateral sclerosis on the fingers, hands, and face
- Eventually results in atrophy of skin and subcutaneous tissue
- Dyspigmentation; salt-and-pepper appearance
- Nail fold capillary dilatation and telangiectasias are common
- Calcinosis
- Reduced oral aperature
31
Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
- Systemic manifestations rarely severe if present (arthralgias and fatigue common)
- Prognosis: intermittent recurrences over long periods of time, 15% develop SLE
31
Vitiligo
32
Chronic Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
- Discoid rash refers to erythematous, rasied patches, with adherent scale and follicular plugging
- Face, scalp, ears and neck commonly involved
- Results in alopecia, dyspigmentation, atrophy, and scarring
- Prognosis: disease can be largely controlled,
33

34
Systemic Scleraderma
35
Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
- Most common in white females

- CREST is an older term used to describe a unique subset of limited systemic scleraderma with the following features:
C-calcinosis cutis
R- Raynaud's
E- esophageal dysmotility
S- sclerodactyly
T- Telangiectasia

- Arteriole or venule wall granulocytes on biopsy
46
Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
47
Acute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
- Prognosis dictated by SLE activity; HTN, nephritis Systemic vasculitis, and CNS disease
48
Urticarial Vasculitis
- Presents as an eruption of erythematous, pruritic wheals resembling hives
- Often painful or burning in nature lasting more than 24 hours, resolves with purpura or hyperpigmentation
- Pts. may have photosensitivity, lymphadenopathy, arthralgia, angioedema, fever, abdominal pain, renal dx, dyspnea, pleural and pericardial effusions
50
Discoid Lupus
51
Cutaneous Vasculitis
- Signs and Symptoms:
- Small Vessel: Palpable purpura or infiltrated erythema (urticaria); Pustules, vesicles, petechiae and urticarial papules
52
Linear Scleroderma
(En coup de Sabre)
- Multisystem autoimmune disorder characterized by sclerosis of the skin, blood vessels, and visceral organs, including the GI tract, lungs, heart, musculoskeletal, and kidneys.
- Often diagnosed between 35-64 years of age
53
Bullous Pemphigoid
54
Acute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
ACLE
- Butterfly rash
55
Acute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus
- Butterfly rash on malar and nasal bridge
- May have associated edema
- Diffuse morbiliform or maculopapular rash, particularly on the ears and chest
- Photosensitivity
56
Systemic Scleroderma
- DX: One major or two minor
- Major: Proximal sclerosis
- Minor: Sclerodactyly -finger fixed semiflexed position with tightened skin; digital pitting scars, erosions, or loss of substance of the finger pad; basilar lung fibrosis or pulmonary fibrosis
