Psoriasis and lichen planus
Published in Rashmi Sarkar, Anupam Das, Sumit Sethi, Concise Dermatology, 2021
Lichen planus (Greek leichen, ‘tree moss’; Latin planus,‘flat’) is an inflammatory disease affecting skin, mucosa (Figure 9.15), scalp, and nails. The term ‘lichenoid’ refers to the histologic description of inflammatory infiltrate and basal cell liquefaction and used to characterize the pathology of diseases resembling lichen planus. This is the only papulosquamous disorder that presents itself without scales.

Differential diagnosis: Occasionally, the appearance may suggest a papulosquamous disorder. Seborrheic dermatitis, lupus erythematosus (acute, discoid, and subacute cutaneous), atopic dermatitis, and foliaceus or paraneoplastic pemphigus should be ruled out. Impetigo, glucagonoma syndrome, and subcorneal pustular dermatosis are other possible differential diagnoses.
Pruritis Ani
Published in Laurence R. Sands, Dana R. Sands, Ambulatory Colorectal Surgery, 2008
Chronic anal pruritis is often less explosive and has a history of gradual onset. Once the potential causes of acute anal pruritis are considered and either treated or discarded, the quest for chronic etiology begins. These may include the papulosquamous disorders, primary inflammatory disorders of the anoderm or anal canal, malignancies, mechanical causes, and psychogenic factors. Papulosquamous disorders such as seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis rarely present with perianal lesions alone.
Publication outcomes of abstracts presented at American Academy of Dermatology annual meeting
Published in Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022
Our analysis demonstrates considerable consistency in publication outcomes for abstracts presented at AAD Meetings for 2015 and 2016. Abstracts regarding papulosquamous disorders have publication outcomes higher than the average. Abstracts are published, on average, soon after one year of the date of presentation. Category-specific publication outcomes are varied. Most of the abstracts which were published appeared in JAAD, suggesting that abstracts presented may be more likely to be published in the host journal. Publication in non-peer-reviewed journals was observed for 8.5 and 7% of abstracts in 2015 and 2016, respectively. We found that 36.7 and 26.9% of abstracts published in non-peer-reviewed journals in 2015 and 2016 respectively were case reports, the most of any study design.

Blayne Fenner, Jessica L. Marquez, Meredith Pham, Michelle Tarbox
Pityriasis rosea (PR) is a benign papulosquamous disorder characterized by a scaly patch, followed by the eruption of secondary small erythematous lesions. In the case of inverse PR, the lesions present in acral and flexural areas including the face, axilla, and groin. The lesions can be preceded with a prodrome of fever, arthralgias, chills, sore throat, and gastrointestinal disturbances. We present a case of inverse PR following COVID-19 vaccination.
