Uncharted surgical therapy for acquired perforating dermatoses
Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals(2023)
摘要
Acquired perforating dermatoses represent an uncommon group of chronic papulonodular dermatoses of unknown aetiology, characterized clinically by intense itching; and histopathologically by transepidermal elimination of dermal components. Definitive targeted pharmacological approaches are lacking, and the disease is usually refractory to therapy. We report here a case of rapid remission of acquired perforating dermatosis following simple thymectomy. If a role for the thymus in the pathogenesis of acquired perforating dermatoses was to be established, this could pave the way for a yet uncharted surgical therapy for these debilitating conditions.
