Publication Angiolymphoid Hyperplasia with Eosinophilia- Think Twice with Scalp Papules! A Case Report(Society of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists of Nepal (SODVELON), 2023) Agarwal, Pooja; Baxi, Kalgi; Shah, MalharAbstract: Angiolymphoid hyperplasia is an uncommon condition characterized by multiple erythematous papules and nodules which are vascular and present over the head and neck area, predominantly around the ears. It is a benign condition but treatment is often sought for the appearance of lesions. We report a case that had a recurrence of erythematous lesions after incomplete electrocoagulation and the diagnosis of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia was confirmed on histopathological evaluation after complete excision of the lesion. In conclusion, as angiolymphoid hyperplasia can be clinically misdiagnosed, histopathological evaluation is warranted in erythematous nodules presenting over the sites of predilection.Publication IgA Vasculitis Mimicking Obstructed Umbilical Hernia and Presenting as Gastrosurgical Emergency(Society of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists of Nepal (SODVELON), 2024) Agarwal, Pooja; Shah, Harsh; Shah, Jay; Shah, Malhar; Baxi, KalgiAbstract: IgA vasculitis (previously known as Henoch-schonlein purpura) is a systemic vasculitis which is more common in children than in adults. The classical triad clinically suggests the diagnosis includes purpuric rash, arthritis and abdominal pain. We report a case of a forty-seven-year-old male presented with an acute abdomen to a gastro-surgeon, and on exploratory laparotomy, multiple petechial lesions were found on the entire intestinal walls. Multiple petechiae were present over both the legs and hands as well, which prompted a dermatological consult, and the diagnosis of IgA vasculitis was confirmed with histopathological and immunofluorescence evaluation of the skin lesions.
