systemic diseases
DIABETES MELLITUS
? KOH mount from a patient of
vulvovaginitis (vaginal discharge)
? Budding yeast
? KOH mount from a patient of
vulvovaginitis (vaginal discharge)
? Pseudohyphae
? KOH mount from a patient of
vulvovaginitis (vaginal discharge)
? Hyphae (True)
? CANDIDAL INFECTION
? Candidal intertrigo (groins, interdigital, and inframammary),
? paronychia,
? vulvovaginitis, and
? balanoposthitis
? may be the presenting manifestations of undiagnosed diabetes
? CARBUNCLE
? Diabetic dermopathy
? Most common dermatosis associated with diabetes
? Begins as small, dull red papules with a superficial scales;
? slowly resolve to leave small, brown, depressed scars
? Shins.
? Necrobiosis Lipoidica
? single or multiple,
? asymptomatic,
? indurated annular, yellowish brown plaque(s).
? Center is atrophic with ectatic blood vessels visible through the
thinned skin
? Shins.
? Acanthosis Nigricans
? velvety, hyper pigmented plaques with a feathered edge
? Axillae, inguinal region, and inframammary folds.
? Granuloma Annulare
? Skin colored or erythematous dermal papules
? arranged in an annular pattern
Eruptive xanthomas
? 1 to 5 mm erythematous to yellow papules
? appear in crops
? have an abrupt onset
? extensor surfaces of the extremities and buttocks
? highly suggestive of hypertriglyceridemia
? Occasionally, eruptive xanthomas are the initial sign of diabetes
? HYPOTHYROIDISM
? ichthyosis .
? Skin -dry, cold, and pale.
? Facies: Broad nose, thick lips, and large, thick tongue. Upper lid may
droop and the face appears expressionless.
? Myxedema: Podgy, nonpitting edema, which is generalized.
? Hair: Dry, coarse brittle hair.
? Follicular keratoses.
? Alopecia of scalp- patchy or diffuse.
? Supraciliary madarosis of lateral third of eyebrows is typical.
? HYPERTHYROIDISM
? Pretibial myxedema
? Asymmetric firm plaques with a "peau d'orange" appearance
? Cold, moist, smooth skin,
? Palmoplantar hyperhidrosis
? Persistent flush of the face and palmar erythema.
? Pigmentary changes: hyperpigmentation of face
? vitiligo
PITUITARY DISORDERS
? ACROMEGALY
? excess secretion of growth hormone
? pituitary adenoma.
? CUTIS VERTICIS GYRATA
? Coarsening of facial features, often resulting in corrugated
appearance of forehead and scalp
? Seborrhea
? Macroglossia
? Spade-like hands
Adrenal Disorders
? Cushing's Disease/Syndrome
? chronic glucocorticoid excess
? Increased ACTH by pituitary gland, e.g., pituitary adenoma.
? Increased secretion of corticosteroids by adrenal gland independent
of adrenocorticotrophic hormone.
? Iatrogenic, due to intake of steroids.
? An exaggeration of the normal
pigmentation, seen especially on
the photo-exposed areas and at
sites of trauma--pressure points
and areas of friction (Addisonian
pigmentation).

Acneiform eruption
? Monomorphic papules
? No comedones
ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY
? pigmentation
? An exaggeration of the normal pigmentation
? photo-exposed areas
? sites of trauma--pressure points and areas of friction (Addisonian
pigmentation).
? chloasma-like pigmentation
? Mucosal pigmentation
? Pigmentation of nails
SKIN IN RENAL DISEASE
? PrurituS-
? Generalized xerosis of the skin.
? Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis
? use of radiocontrast agents that contain gadolinium in patients with
renal failure.
? erythematous/yellowish indurated plaques with finger-like
projections.
? Perforating keratosis
Half-and-half nails
? Pigmentation of distal half of
the nail, while the proximal part
remains pale.
SKIN IN LIVER DISEASES
? SPIDER ANGIOMA
? Pruritus- Due to accumulation of ? Spider nevi and palmar
