Abstract

Many advances in dermatology have been made in recent years. In the present review article, newly described disorders from the last six years are presented in detail. We divided these reports into different sections, including syndromes, autoinflammatory diseases, tumors, and unclassified disease. Syndromes included are “circumferential skin creases Kunze type” and “unusual type of pachyonychia congenita or a new syndrome”; autoinflammatory diseases include “chronic atypical neutrophilic dermatosis with lipodystrophy and elevated temperature (CANDLE) syndrome,” “pyoderma gangrenosum, acne, and hidradenitis suppurativa (PASH) syndrome,” and “pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, acne, and hidradenitis suppurativa (PAPASH) syndrome”; tumors include “acquired reactive digital fibroma,” “onychocytic matricoma and onychocytic carcinoma,” “infundibulocystic nail bed squamous cell carcinoma,” and “acral histiocytic nodules”; unclassified disorders include “saurian papulosis,” “symmetrical acrokeratoderma,” “confetti-like macular atrophy,” and “skin spicules,” “erythema papulosa semicircularis recidivans.”

Highlights

  • Novel cutaneous entities have been continually reported in the dermatology literature

  • Wouters et al propose the term “circumferential skin creases Kunze type” to describe these patients who are different from patients with “Michelin tire baby syndrome” in terms of accompanying features to the circumferential skin creases, including cleft palate, typical face, intellectual disability, and growth retardation [7]

  • In 2013, Gonul et al reported a male patient with follicular hyperkeratosis, bilateral blepharitis, epidermal cysts localized to the axillae, painful focal palmoplantar keratoderma, oral leukokeratosis, complete loss of teeth, nails with proximal layering, and mild mental retardation

Summary

Introduction

Novel cutaneous entities have been continually reported in the dermatology literature. This paper reviews newly described dermatological disorders. MEDLINE (2008–2014) and Google searches were conducted, using the terms (new described skin disease OR new described cutaneous disorder) AND (new entity in dermatology) AND (novel described skin disorder). Fifteen new entities are included in this paper. Dermatological disorders are classified in one of the following categories: syndromes, tumors, keratinization disorders, and unclassified disease, respectively (Table 1)
