Acquired periungual fibrokeratomas are rare, benign, fibrous and hyperkeratotic tumours. They usually present as lesions which emerge from the proximal nail fold, or sometimes from the nail bed. Although acquired periungual fibrokeratoma is considered as a topographical variant of acquired digital fibrokeratoma, it has a unique "garlic-clove" shape and causes nail deformity. We present herein a case of acquired periungual fibrokeratoma occurring beneath the proximal nail fold. Histologically, an accessory germinal matrix was observed at the distal end of the lesion. Change in pressure around the lesion seemed to have induced the formation of this accessory germinal matrix.

Introduction:
Birth defects or congenital anomalies are a major global concern. An estimated 7.9 million children are born worldwide each year. Birth defects are among the top ten leading causes of infant deaths in the Philippines for more than six decades. The objectives of this study were to: 1) determine the frequency of birth defects among patients seen at the Outpatient Department (OPD) of the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) from 2000 to 2010; 2) describe the birth defects by organ systems and presentation (isolated, part of a recognizable syndrome, chromosomal syndrome or multimalformed case); 3) present the distribution of patients by geographic origin; 4) describe the birth defects according to age group and organ system; and 5) compare the data from this study to the previously published report among admitted patients at PGH in the same time period.
Methods:
Medical records of new patients seen at the PGH OPD from 2000 to 2010 were reviewed. Medical records that included written diagnosis of any of the following International Classification of Diseases (ICD) -10 codes (Q 00 – Q 99, P 35.0, P 83.5, K40, H49.0, H50.0, H50.1, H53.0, H54.42, H54.7, and H55.01) were considered birth defect cases.
Results:
Out of the 804,410 new patients at the PGH OPD from 2000 to 2010, 12,827 patients (1.59%) had a diagnosis of at least one major structural birth defect. The most common birth defects were cardiovascular, digestive, genital organ and nervous system anomalies. The top 5 anomalies in this report were: congenital malformations of cardiac septa, other congenital malformations not elsewhere classified, cleft palate with cleft lip, congenital hydrocoele, and congenital hydrocephalus. The highest percentage of birth defects were from the < 1 age group (40.3%), followed by the 1 to 4 age group (29%) and the 5 to 9 age group (14.6%). NCR, Region IV-A and Region III had the highest percentages of patients with birth defects, 51.4%, 26.03% and 10.97%, respectively.
Conclusion
This study revealed a prevalence of birth defects among PGH OPD patients of 1.59%. The most common birth defects were possibly surgically correctable reflecting the nature of PGH as a referral center. Majority of patients affected were in the under-5 population. The study reflects the importance of a birth defects surveillance to develop policies on strategies that will reduce the burden of morbidity and mortality secondary to preventable birth defects like congenital rubella syndrome that can be aborted by a successful immunization program. The birth defects surveillance will generate data that will support strengthening the regional hospitals with a better complement of specialists and capability for both medical and surgical management of the patients.

Objective:
The study aimed to determine the prevalence of birth defects among neonates born at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) from January 2011 to December 2014.
Methods:
Monthly censuses of all deliveries from January 2011 to December 2014 were obtained from the Section of Newborn Medicine. All deliveries with birth defects were coded using International Classification of Diseases-10 (ICD -10). The codes were tallied and classified as either an isolated, part of a recognizable syndrome, chromosomal syndrome or multi-malformed case (MMC). Period prevalence was then calculated.
Results:
There was a total of 20,939 deliveries from 2011 to 2014 in PGH, of which 574 babies (2.74%) had a diagnosis of at least one birth defect. Two-hundred seventy-three babies (47.56%) had isolated defects; 130 (22.65%) with defects in MMC; 106 (18.47%) with defects as part of recognizable syndromes; and 65 (11.32%) with defects as part of chromosomal syndromes. One in 36 births has at least one birth defect, which is higher than that reported in other Asian countries.
Conclusion
Birth defects are significant causes of morbidity and mortality. Results of this study provide baseline data that can be used for future studies on the causation of such birth defects, and can be used to formulate policies on primary and secondary prevention. For a tertiary hospital like PGH, these data can serve as a guide towards allocation of resources and manpower towards the more common birth defects.
