Painful post-traumatic trigeminal neuropathy (PPTTN) is a distinctive facial pain syndrome characterized by facial and/or oral pain along the sensory distribution of the fifth cranial nerve with a clear history of a traumatic event. To our knowledge, PPTTN after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) has not been reported in the literature. We present a case of an elderly woman who experienced unilateral neuralgic pain after undergoing ESS. Following ESS of the left sphenoid sinus to remove suspicious fungus balls, the patient complained of intermittent facial pain occurring in the left periorbital and forehead area. Clinical diagnosis of PPTTN was established after a comprehensive multidisciplinary assessment. The pain disappeared completely after a 5-week medical treatment with gabapentin. Since PPTTN cases associated with ESS are extremely rare, our case demonstrates that PPTTN should be considered in the differential diagnosis of facial pain developing after ESS and can be successfully treated with medical therapy.

Background: Rosacea is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease, which primarily affects the central face. In 2002, the National Rosacea Society (NRS) committee developed the first diagnostic criteria for rosacea, based on its subtypes. The revised classification in 2017 prompted a proposal to transit from a subtyping to a phenotyping approach, reflecting current insights into rosacea pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and management. Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the clinical features of rosacea and compare two diagnostic criteria in rosacea patients. Methods: We performed a clinical study on 100 patients with rosacea diagnosed according to the 2002 NRS criteria. The age, sex, clinical features, subtypes, severity, and predisposing factors were evaluated using the questionnaire. In addition, we compared the 2002 and 2017 criteria, and evaluated patients if they met the revised criteria. Results: According to the 2002 NRS classification, the erythematotelangiectatic type (88.0%) was the most frequent, followed by the papulopustular (43.0%), ocular (13.0%), and phymatous (6.0%) types. There were 44 overlapping cases, including 38 cases with 2 subtypes mixed and 6 cases with three subtypes. Six patients were diagnosed with rosacea using the 2002 NRS criteria but they did not satisfy the revised 2017 criteria. Conclusion We found that the diagnostic features of the 2002 criteria are too ambiguous for the diagnosis of rosacea. Therefore, we recommend that dermatologists recognize the necessity of a transition from a subtyping to a phenotyping approach, according to the 2017 criteria for the diagnosis of rosacea.

Poroid hidradenoma (PH) is a rare benign tumor that shows differentiation of the eccrine sweat gland. It occurs mainly in adults, presenting as a 0.5 to 2 cm-sized intradermal nodule, mostly on the head, extremities, trunk and neck. We report two rare cases of PH, one on the face and the other on the heel. The first patient was a 50-year-old male who had a solitary, skin-colored nodule on his right temple for 6 months.The second patient was a 67-year-old female who presented with a solitary, bean-sized, tender nodule on her left heel for 1 year. The common histological examination finding was a well-circumscribed tumor composed of solid portions and large cystic spaces in the center. The tumor cells consisted of small, monomorphic poroid cells and large cuticular cells in both cases. To our knowledge, only few cases of PH have been reported. Herein, we report two rare cases of PHs with literature review

Clear cell hidradenoma (CCH) is a rare benign tumor that shows differentiation toward the structure of a sweat gland. Recently, hidradenoma has been re-classified into apocrine and eccrine variants and CCH has been classified as apocrine differentiation. A 34-year-old man without any underlying diseases presented with an erythematous, papilliform, 1-cm exophytic nodule on the left neck that had been present for 3 years. Skin biopsy specimens were obtained by excision biopsy of his left neck. Histopathologic findings showed a well-circumscribed tumor composed of solid portions with polyhedral cells and clear cells, a tubular space with columnar cells, and decapitation secretion. Additionally, round, basophilic, poroid cells, tubular structures containing hyalinized material, and intercellular bridges were observed in the epidermis. Herein, we present a rare case of CCH with apocrine and eccrine differentiation.

Kikuchi’s disease, also referred to as histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenopathy, is a benign self-limiting lymphadenitis accompanied by mild fever and night sweats. This disorder usually affects young women and presents with non-specific cutaneous findings. A 15-year-old female adolescent presented with erythematous papules and plaques on both cheeks accompanied by fever, night sweats, and right cervical lymphadenopathy. Histopathological evaluation of a skin biopsy specimen showed mild perivascular and periadnexal infiltration in the dermis.Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of lymph nodes revealed coagulative necrosis with lymphocytic, histiocytic, and karyorrhectic debris. We present a rare case of Kikuchi’s disease that was diagnosed based on histopathological evaluation of skin and lymph node specimens.
