Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of surgical operation combined with photodynamic therapy for plantar warts.Methods From July 2017 to June 2018,16 patients with plantar warts were enrolled in the Department of Dermatology,the Fifth People's Hospital of Suzhou City.The enrolled patients aged 10 to 42 years,including 12 males and 4 females,with a course of 4 to 15 month,and a total of 47 plantar warts.The plantar warts was removed by surgical operation and bipolar coagulation,followed by the photodynamic treatment with 5-aminolevulinic acid for 3 to 4 times with an interval of 7-10 days.Results Eleven patients showed complete clearance after operation and three times photodynamic treatments,and the other 5 patients underwent 2 operations and four times photodynamic treatments.47 plantar warts in 16 patients were disappeared completely during 6-month post-treatment follow up.The plantar warts clearance rate was 100％,and the skin texture still presented.In addition to local mild erythematous,pain and burning sensation presented after surgery,but no adverse reactions such as infection,ulcers and obvious scars occurred.Conclusions Surgery combined with 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy is a favorable treatment for plantar warts.

Objective: To describe the dermoscopic features of extramammary Paget′s disease (EMPD) and chronic eczema of the vulva, and to explore the value of dermoscopy in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the above diseases. Methods: Dermoscopic images were collected from 20 patients with histopathologically confirmed vulvar EMPD and 16 patients with clinically confirmed chronic eczema of the vulva in Hospital for Skin Diseases, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Pekin Union Medical College from January 2017 to April 2018, and retrospectively analyzed. Fisher′s exact test was used to compare the prevalence of dermoscopic features between the two groups. Results: As dermoscopy showed, the milky red background was observed in 19 EMPD patients and in only 1 patient with chronic eczema, and there was a significant difference in the prevalence of milky red background between the two groups (P < 0.001) . White scales were the most common desquamation, and were observed in 9 EMPD patients and 13 patients with chronic eczema (P = 0.128) . Blood vessels were uniformly distributed in EMPD patients, including dotted-globular vessels in 19 and linear vessels in 14, while blood vessels were distributed in a patchy or clustered pattern in the patients with chronic eczema, including dotted-globular vessels in 16 and linear vessels in 7. There was a significant difference in the prevalence of different distribution patterns of blood vessels between the two groups (P < 0.001) . Bright white streaks, bright white structureless area and reticular structure were observed in 19, 20 and 19 EMPD patients respectively, and in 1, 1 and 1 patient with chronic eczema respectively, and there were significant differences in the prevalence of the above 3 structures between the two diseases (all P < 0.001) . Conclusion Vulvar EMPD and chronic eczema both show characteristic dermoscopic features, and dermoscopy is of great value to the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of EMPD.
