    Abstract Background: Despite studies of dermatologic manifestations in adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), little is known about the prevalence of IBD-associated skin lesions and their correlation with IBD severity in children. We aimed to address these knowledge gaps in our single-center cohort of children with IBD.
    Methods: Retrospective chart review of 528 children and adolescents (≤18 years old) with IBD and seen at Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN) between 1999 and 2017 was conducted. The Chi-Square/Fischer's exact test (with p ≤ .05 to signify statistical significance) was applied to compare categorical outcomes between Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) patients.
    Results: In total, 425 IBD patients (64.9% CD, 53% males) and ≥1 dermatologic diagnosis were included. Presence of ≥1 cutaneous infection was recorded in 42.8% of participants. Acne was the most common non-infectious dermatologic condition (30.8%), followed by eczema (15.8%) and perianal skin tags (14.6%). Angular cheilitis (p = .024), keratosis pilaris (KP, p = .003), and perianal skin complications (i.e., skin tags, fistula, and abscesses; all p < .001) were more frequently diagnosed among children with CD, while fungal skin infections (p = .017) were more frequently diagnosed in UC patients. Severity of IBD correlated with higher prevalence of perianal fistula (p = .003), perianal abscess (p = .041), psoriasis (p < .001), and pyoderma gangrenosum (PG, p = .003).
    Conclusions: Both IBD-specific and IBD-nonspecific dermatologic conditions are very prevalent in childhood IBD, the most common being infectious. Children with CD are more likely to experience angular cheilitis, KP, and perianal skin findings than those with UC. Perianal disease, psoriasis, and PG are associated with more severe IBD.

    Abstract Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), a parasitic infection caused by Leishmania protozoa and transmitted by sandfly bites, can be classified into Old World and New World subtypes. We report a case of a 2-year-old female who developed complex CL after travel to Panama. Ultimately, successful treatment required two rounds of liposomal amphotericin B. We report this case for its challenging clinical course and management.

    Abstract Background: Infantile perianal pyramidal protrusion (IPPP) is a rare benign skin condition that is typically seen in infant girls. This condition is often mistaken for other skin lesions such as acrochordons, condyloma acuminatum, and sequelae of sexual abuse. Many clinicians are unfamiliar with IPPP which can lead to aggressive workup and treatment. The purpose of this study was to elucidate demographic data, clinical features, diagnostic workup, and management of IPPP in a large cohort of patients seen at an academic medical center.
    Methods: A retrospective review of patients diagnosed with IPPP at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN was conducted. Demographic data, examination findings, diagnostic workup, and treatments were noted.
    Results: Twenty-seven patients with IPPP, 24 of which were girls and 3 were boys from the ages of 1 day to 4 years (mean 10.8 months, median 8.6 months) were identified. Symptoms were reported in 63% (17/27) of patients. Four patients received treatment with topical corticosteroid or local anesthetic. No patient underwent skin biopsy.
    Conclusion: IPPP is commonly observed in healthy prepubertal girls. Constipation is a common symptom. Awareness of this entity may prevent overtreatment and unnecessary evaluation.

    Abstract We used the Psoriasis Caregiver Impact Scale to explore the quality of life (QoL) of parents/caregivers of children with psoriasis. We found that the QoL of parents of children with psoriasis is negatively affected in numerous domains including family and social life, emotional health, work, activities, and finances.

    Abstract A 2-year-old boy presented with an extensive, asymptomatic, photosensitive eruption refractory to topical steroids and tretinoin; examination and biopsies were consistent with generalized linear porokeratosis involving the face, limbs, and trunk. Treatment with topical cholesterol-lovastatin was initiated, and it successfully improved early erythematous lesions. Whole exome sequencing that targeted mevalonate pathway genes crucial in cholesterol synthesis later revealed a pathogenic, paternally inherited, porokeratosis-associated MVD, c.70+5 G>A, mutation. Topical cholesterol-lovastatin is a safe and effective empiric treatment for porokeratosis when used in the early, erythematous phase, and its success is likely mediated through its role in targeting mevalonate pathway mutations.

    Abstract We present the case of a 3-week-old girl with LUMBAR syndrome, a rare condition involving segmental infantile hemangiomas (IH) in the lumbosacral region, myelopathy, and other congenital anomalies. The patient developed severe ulceration of a left buttock IH. Treatment included broad-spectrum antibiotics, debridement, and a laparoscopic temporary colostomy. Propranolol therapy, wound care, and fecal diversion led to successful healing of the ulceration. The report highlights the challenges of ulcerated IH in the perineal area due to exposure to urine and stool. The comprehensive approach resulted in positive outcomes, including the successful surgical treatment of spinal dysraphism, successful colostomy reversal, and developmental progress. This case contributes insight into the surgical management of severe perianal ulcerated IH associated with LUMBAR syndrome, highlighting the importance of a tailored surgical approach with a multidisciplinary framework.

    Abstract Idiopathic eruptive macular pigmentation (IEMP) is a rare, benign, self-resolving melanosis consisting of hyperpigmented macules typically on the face, trunk, and extremities that can occur in children and adolescents and often presents a diagnostic conundrum. We report a case involving an 8-year-old female whose previous clinical presentation was concerning for an atypical presentation of cutaneous mastocytosis or neurofibromatosis. The clinical and histopathologic evaluation was consistent with the diagnosis of IEMP, and no active intervention was pursued. Our accompanying literature review serves to better characterize this condition, highlight key diagnostic features, and emphasize the tendency for spontaneous resolution to avoid unnecessary treatments with limited clinical efficacy.

    Abstract Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory skin disorder with manifestations extending beyond visual presentation to encompass psychological burden. Though the association between psoriasis and mental health disorders in adults is widely accepted, there is inadequate research to generalize these findings to pediatric populations. In this review of the literature, we discuss the prevalence of anxiety and depression among pediatric patients with psoriasis in hopes of raising awareness of these associations and advocating for psychological screening and intervention in dermatology practice.
