Jahresversammlung unserer Gesellschaft, ein wichtiger Geburtstag. Wir haben deshalb an ein wichtiges Thema gedacht, nämlich "Die klinisch-pathologische Korrelation in der Dermatologie". Es ist nicht zufällig, dass wir dieses Thema ausgewählt haben, denn die Dermatopathologie ist integraler Bestandteil unseres Faches und Gegenstand langjähriger Verhandlungen. Wir möchten hiermit zeigen, dass eine klinische Evaluation ohne histopathologische Untersuchung nicht möglich ist und umgekehrt, dass eine ausgezeichnete Dermatopathologie von klinischen Faktoren und Informationen abhängig ist. Eben diese Interdependenz möchten wir aufzeigen. Als Neuheit schlagen wir vor, dass nach jedem Hauptvortrag eine histopathologische Präsentation folgt, somit ergibt sich keine künstliche Trennung der Dermatopathologie von der Klinik. Wir begrüssen ebenfalls unsere Kollegen Pathologen, die sich unserem Kongress anschliessen. Mit Freude haben wir auch festgestellt, dass fast alle Arbeitsgruppen SGDV zu einem Workshop am Donnerstag nachmittag am Kongressort zusammenkommen. Zum ersten Mal treffen wir uns nicht mehr im CHUV, sondern im Palais Beaulieu. Wir sind überzeugt, dass Sie und auch unsere Industriepartner die räumlichen Verhältnisse auf einem Stockwerk schätzen werden, auch betr. Workshops und Posteraustellung, sowie die gute Zugänglichkeit mit öffentlichen und privaten Verkehrsmitteln. Wir freuen uns, Sie zahlreich in Lausanne begrüssen zu dürfen und senden Ihnen, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, unsere besten Grüsse. Nous vous souhaitons une cordiale bienvenue à la 90ème assemblée annuelle de notre Société. C’est un anniversaire important et, pour le célébrer dignement, nous avons choisi comme sujet principal " La confrontation anatomoclinique en dermatologie ". Nous ne nous sommes pas arrêtés sur ce thème par hasard, mais bien parce que la dermato-pathologie fait partie intégrante de notre spécialité et s’impose comme sujet de discussion depuis quelques années. Nous aimerions démontrer qu’une évaluation clinique sans investigation histo-pathologique n’est pas possible, et que l’excellence en dermato-pathologie dépend aussi de facteurs et d’informations cliniques. C’est cette interdépendance que nous aimerions souligner. Nous aimerions également introduire une nouveauté : chaque conférence principale sera suivie d’une présentation de cas histo-pathologique en vue d’éviter toute séparation artificielle entre la dermato-pathologie et la clinique. Nous saluons aussi ici nos collègues pathologues qui participent à cette manifestation. C’est avec plaisir que nous constatons que presque tous les groupes de travail SSDV peuvent se réunir le jeudi après-midi au même endroit. Finalement, pour la première fois, nous ne nous réunissons plus au CHUV, mais au Palais de Beaulieu qui offre davantage d’espace aux exposants réunis sur un étage, toute la place nécessaire pour les ateliers et l’exposition des posters, mais aussi une bonne accessibilité tant avec les transports publics qu’en voiture. Nous nous réjouissons de vous rencontrer nombreux à Lausanne et vous adressons, Mesdames, Messieurs, chers Collègues, nos meilleures salutations. Renato G. Panizzon Paul Bigliardi Gisèle Maradan Mitarbeiter/innen der Klinik Renato G. Panizzon Paul Bigliardi Gisèle Maradan Les collaboratrices et collaborateurs du service Grusswort des Präsidenten der SGDV / Message de bienvenue du Président de la SSDV Liebe Kolleginnen Chères et chers collègues, "Zeit ihres Bestehens sind Kenntnisse in Dermatopathologie integraler Bestandteil des dermatologischen Fachwissens… Situationsgegeben bietet die Haut dem Facharzt für Dermatologie die Möglichkeit des Studiums von klinischer und histologischer Pathologie in Personalunion… Die Schaffung eines "Schwerpunktes Dermatopathologie" soll dazu dienen, dieses in der Vergangenheit reichlich wissenschaftlich ausgeschöpfte Potential auch für die Zukunft, zu Gunsten der Patienten, zu erhalten." Dies ist ein Auszug aus der Präambel des "Schwerpunktes Dermatopathologie", dessen heute vorliegende Variante nach einigen Jahren harter Verhandlungen mit der Schweizerischen Gesellschaft für Pathologie am 13. März von der KWFB ohne Gegenstimme akzeptiert worden ist. Es gilt nun noch die Hürde der nächsten Aerztekammersitzung zu nehmen! Mit anderen Worten: die Zeugung ist geglückt, die Eltern sind bereit, zu ihren kommenden, neuen Verpflichtungen zu stehen, die Schwangerschaft verläuft zur Zeit komplikationslos und das Thema der diesjährigen Jahresversammlung bietet, von den Organisatoren, denen unser aller Dank gilt, perfekt geplant, die passende Ambiente für die – so hoffen wir alle inbrünstig – Ankündigung der glücklichen Geburt dieses Wunschkindes: Unserer SGDV zum 90-jährigen Jubiläum ein den heutigen Bedürfnissen entsprechendes, qualitativ hochstehendes, strukturiertes WBP in "Dermatopathologie" zu übergeben, wäre doch ein wunderschönes Geschenk! Vorfreude ist erlaubt. Und sollte doch noch etwas dazwischen kommen, so würde das auf keinen Fall die Vorfreude auf das uns erwartende Fortbildungsprogramm schmälern. Der einzige, wohl nicht vermeidbare, heute leider schon erkennbare Wermutstropfen in unserer Vorfreude entweicht dem Umstand, dass Prof. Renato Panizzon uns wohl zum letzten Mal als Gastgeber zu einer Jahresversammlung nach Lausanne einlädt. Doch ist nicht gerade dies der "Motivationshype", in Scharen ins Palais Beaulieu zu pilgern? Mit herzlichen Grüssen " Depuis le début de l’existence de la dermatopathologie, les connaissances en cette matière font partie intégrante du savoir spécifique d’un dermatologue... Du fait des circonstances, la peau offre au médecin spécialiste en dermatologie la possibilité de l’étude de la pathologie clinique et histologique dans une union du personnel... La création d’une " Formation approfondie dermatopathologie " doit servir à conserver, à l’avenir encore et pour le bien des patients, ce potentiel très largement exploité précédemment au plan scientifique". Ceci est un extrait du préambule de la " Formation approfondie dermatopathologie ", dont la variante à disposition aujourd’hui a été acceptée sans opposition par la CFPC en date du 13 mars, après quelques années de dures négociations avec la Société suisse de pathologie. Il s’agit maintenant de franchir l’obstacle de la prochaine séance de la Chambre des médecins! Autrement dit: l’enfant a été conçu, les parents sont prêts à faire face à leur prochaines obligations nouvelles, la grossesse se poursuit actuellement sans complications alors que le thème de l’assemblée annuelle 2008 offre – et toute notre reconnaissance va en cela aux organisateurs qui ont prévu la chose à la perfection – le cadre idéal pour l’annonce, que nous espérons tous avec ferveur, de l’heureuse naissance de cet enfant désiré: remettre à notre SSDV à l’occasion de son 90e anniversaire un programme de formation postgraduée " dermatopathologie " répondant aux besoins actuels, de haute qualité et structuré serait bien un superbe cadeau! Il vous est permis de vous réjouir. Et si quelque chose devait encore venir faire office de contretemps, cela ne diminuerait en aucun cas notre réjouissance face à ce programme de formation postgraduée qui nous attend. Le seul petit bémol à notre joie, et ceci est certes inévitable mais malheureusement perceptible aujourd’hui déjà, réside dans le fait que le Prof. Renato Panizzon nous invite pour la dernière fois en qualité d’hôte à une assemblée annuelle à Lausanne. Mais n’est-ce pas là précisément la " motivation hype " pour se déplacer en masse au Palais de Beaulieu? Je vous adresse à toutes et à tous mes salutations cordiales, Thomas Hofer Präsident SGDV Thomas Hofer Président SSDV 7 Präsidenten der Schweizerischen Gesellschaft für Dermatologie und Venereologie Présidents de la Société Suisse de Dermatologie et Vénéréologie 1913-1914 1914-1915 1915-1919 1919-1920 1920-1921 1921-1922 1922-1923 1923-1924 1924-1925 1925-1926 1926-1927 1927-1928 1928-1929 1929-1931 1931-1932 1932-1935 1935-1938 1938-1941 1941-1945 1945-1948 1948-1951 H.

Geiges Dermatologische Klinik, Universitätsspital Zürich Als die Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Dermatologie und Syphilographie 1913 gegründet wurde, hatte sich die histopathologische Beurteilung von Hautveränderungen als Hilfsmittel zur Beurteilung und Diagnostik von Hautkrankheiten bereits durchgesetzt. In der Dermatologischen Lehre gehörten histologische Zeichnungen genauso zum Unterricht wie Moulagen. Streiflichter aus dem 19. Jahrhundert, z.B. auf die Arbeiten von Jacob Henle (nicht nur die Erstbeschreibung der Demodexmilbe1847 im „Beobachter der östlichen Schweiz“) illustrieren die zunehmende Einbindung der Dermatohistopathologie in die dermatologische Systematik. Beispiele aus den Versammlungen der SGDV im 20. Jahrhundert zeigen, wie die Histopathologie selbstverständlich zum dermatologischen Denken gehörte. Daran änderte auch der Wandel vom morphologischen über den funktionellen hin zum heute immunbiologischen Zugang zu den Hautkrankheiten nichts. Die Gründung der International Society of Dermatophathology 1979, also über 100 Jahre, nachdem die Histopathologie elementarer Bestandteil der Dermatologie geworden war, ist Ausdruck des immer breiteren und tieferen Wissens, welche zur Spezialdisziplin innerhalb der Dermatologie und Pathologie geführt hat. Die Gründung von Gesellschaften, Arbeitsgemeinschaften und Kommissionen, auch innerhalb der SGDV, ist aber auch Ausdruck einer völlig neuartigen politischen Diskussion, welche die Notwenigkeit einer unmittelbar verflochtenen mikroskopischen Analyse mit dem vitalen makroskopischen Befund am Patienten in Frage stellt. Key lectures KL1 Clinical Pathological Spectrum of Interface Dermatitis M. C. Mihm Jr Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, USA KL2 Clinical-pathological correlations in pediatric dermatology S Fraitag-Spinner Hôpital Necker-Enfants malades, Paris, France Clinical-pathological correlations are crutial in dermatology, particularly in pediatric dermatol20 Communications libres ogy in which pitfalls are numerous. To illustrate them we use a quiz-like presentation with various short examples of inflammatory diseases cases, genodermatoses as well as tumoral cases with many demonstrating features showing clinical and pathological findings. KL 3 Life Threatning Dermatoses R. Cerio Royal London Hospital, London, UK KL 4 Melanocytic proliferations H. Kerl Department of Dermatology, Medical University of Graz, Austria In the field of melanocytic tumors specific diagnosis may be extraordinarily difficult in the absence of an appreciation of clinical nuances. By presenting the real patient or clinical digital images of melanocytic lesions of the patient at the same time as the histological evaluation of the slide is performed, a maximum amount of information can be obtained. This leads to an enormous increase of the quality of diagnosis. With this in mind, lessons from patients will be presented. KL 5 Rare non melanocytic skin tumors F. Rongioletti Section of Dermatology, DISEM, University of Genova,Italy The rare skin tumors are quite numerous and include those neoplasms whose incidence is less than 2 per 100.000. The low incidence of these tumors and the difficulty to collect in only one centre a sufficient number of cases to have enough experience and results, makes difficult both their clinical and histopathological recognition and their prognostic evaluation and treatment. This lecture will deal with two types of rare non melanocytic skin tumors: rare skin tumors as a markers of syndromes and rare skin malignant tumors. KL 6 Recents developments in immunopathology of the skin M.V. Dahl College of Medicine, Mayo Clinic Arizona Immunopathology utilizes fluorescein-labeled antihuman antibodies to various substrates. In direct immunofluorescence, these are used as simple stains. In indirect immunofluorescence, they are used to mark in site of in vitro antibody fixation to normal substrates. Although the techniques are old and well-known, applications and usefulness have changed. This lecture will emphasize new diseases and subtypes of diseases and their immunopathology, new serologic tests (often ELISA tests) and their correlations with older immunofluorescence ones, new insights into sites for biopsies, and uses of salt-split skin to aid diagnosis by indirect immunofluorescence. To keep the lecture interesting, I will also highlight new understandings of how these antibodies work to produce disease. KL 7 Cutaneous lymphomas W. Kempf Dermatologische Zürich Klinik Universitätsspital Diagnosis of cutaneous lymphomas (CL) is challenging due to a significant overlap in clinical, histological and immunphenotypic features of cutaneous lymphomas. As a consequence, the final diagnosis of CL should always be based on a synthesis of clinical, histological, immunophenotypic and molecular features as well as the results of staging examinations. In early stages of mycosis fungoides (MF) and in Sézary syndrome, histological findings may be subtle and distinction from eczema or drug eruption may be difficult. Thus, careful clinical examination is crucial for the diagnostic process. Pheno- and genotypic features such as loss of T-cell antigens and detection of clonal T-cells may be adjunctive diagnostic findings. Among primary cutaneous CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorders, lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) exhibits a broad spectrum of histological manifestations and can be misinterpreted as a reactive inflammatory process. On the other hand, several inflammatory and infectious skin disorders can harbor CD30+ activated lymphocytes thus simulating LyP. Clinical features are essential to establish correct final diagnosis and to avoid inappropriate treatment. The expression of certain proteins and/or presence of genetic alterations such as translocations have diagnostic implications. Expression of bcl-2 in cutaneous follicular B-cell infiltrates often indicates secondary cutaneous involvement of a nodal follicular lymphoma. Correlation of phenotypic markers with prognosis has been demonstrated for some forms of CTCL and CBCL. Among subcutaneous T-cell lymphomas, expression of alpha/beta T-cell receptor (TCR) is linked to an indolent course with favorable prognosis, whereas gamma/delta TCRpositive forms exhibit a poor prognosis. In CBCL, loss or decreased expression of p16 in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of leg type represents a marker of infavourable outcome. The biology and prognosis of CL differ signifi- Innovation anti-âge P Freie Mitteilungen cantly from those of nodal lymphomas with the same cytomorphologic or phenotypic profile. This has an important impact not only on classification, but in particular on the treatment of CL. In early disease stages of the most common CTCL, mycosis fungoides (MF), treatment results in transient response, but does usually not induce long-standing remission. It is still a matter of debate which therapy is adequate in early stages of MF and if intense and aggressive therapy in early disease stage is able to prevent disease progression. For more advanced stages, various strategies are employed including interferon-alpha, retinoids such as bexarotene, chemotherapy, denileukin diftitox, alemtuzumab (anti-CD52), and experimental approaches such as adenovirus-IFNgamma-vectors. For MF and Sézary syndrome, evidence-based guidelines for treatment have recently been published by the EORTC Task Force Cutaneous Lymphomas. KL 8 The pathologist’s view H.-A.

Ebselen in non-cytotoxic concentrations (50 µM) inhibited melanin synthesis in cultured B16 melanocytes. In three-dimensional epidermal reconstructs (Melanoderm™), a 0.5% ebselen topical formula decreased the amount of melanin to 50% of that of control after two weeks of treatment with no cytotoxicity against melanocytes or keratinocytes. In vivo, ebselen (0.5%) produced skin depigmentation after 12 days of topical application on black guinea pig skin and significantly reduced the amount of epidermal melanin without altering the number of DOPA-positive melanocytes. Histochemical, immunohistochemical and quantitative analyses through electron microscope studies performed on melanocyte-keratinocyte co-cultures, as well as black guinea pig skin, confirmed that, independently of its melanogenesis inhibiting property, ebselen significantly reduced the rate of melanosomal transfer 22 Communications libres from melanocytes to neighbouring keratinocytes. Finally, ebselen inhibited melanosomal dispersion in keratinocytes and caused the eventually transferred melanosomes to cluster and to form melanosomal aggregates in the keratinocyte cytoplasm in vivo. Melanosomal re-distribution is a well-known mechanism for tegument colour changes in low vertebrates, and the glutathione peroxidase mimic ebselen appears to be the first molecule capable modulating this process in mammalian skin. FC 2 Martorell’s hypertensive ischemic leg ulcer must not be confounded with pyoderma gangrenosum J. Hafner, S. Nobbe, H. Partsch, S. Läuchli, D. Mayer, B. Amann-Vesti, R. Speich, L.H.G. Burg, L. E. French Dermatologische Klinik, Universitätsspital Zürich Introduction : Martorell’s hypertensive ischemic leg ulcer (HYTILU) has become one of the leading causes of leg ulcers at the Department of Dermatology, University Hospital of Zurich. Despite its frequency, the majority of patients are initially misdiagnosed as pyoderma gangrenosum (PG). Treatment strategy of HYTILU and PG are completely different. Objective : To outline the characteristics of HYTILU and the therapeutic consequeces. Methods : A consecutive series of 31 patients with HYTILU were subjected to a thorough retrospective analysis. Clinical features, suspected diagnosis at initial presentation, cardiovascular risk factors, vascular examination, histology, revised diagnosis after completed assessment, specific surgical management and outcome were analyzed after a standardized protocol. Results 31/31 Patients presented with one or multiple painful necrotic skin ulcers at the laterodorsal leg, bilateral in 16/31 instances (52%). 16/31 (52%) were referred under the suspicion of PG and 12/31 (39%) were under systemic immunosuppression. All patients had arterial hypertension (100%) and 18/31 (58%) diabetes. All patients showed a histology of subcutaneous stenotic arteriolosclerosis, in 22/31 (71%) with medial calcification. Peripheral arterial disease was diagnosed and confirmed by angiography in 14/31 (45%). After establishing the diagnosis of Martorell’s HYTILU, 29/31 (94%) underwent debridement and split skin grafting, in 12/31 (39%) at repeated occasions. Only 2/31 (6%) healed by conservative means. Three (9%) patients died from sepsis, two of them under immunosuppression for supposed pyoderma gangrenosum. Conclusions : Martorell’s HYTILU is a clearly defined entity that can easily be overlooked and confounded with pyoderma gangrenosum. Diagnosis involves clinical and vascular assessment, and a large and deep biopsy from the wound border. Treatment is based on surgical measures, specifically debridement, vacuum-assisted negative pressure wound treatment, and split skin grafts, often at repeated occasions. Antibiotic treatment is often necessary. Immunosuppression is not warranted and may expose patients to the risk of sepsis. FC 3 Partial reconstitution and subclinical remodeling of cutaneous microvessels in long term survivors after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation P. Haeusermann, E. Kump, A. Rovó, A. Tichelli, P. Itin, A. Gratwohl, B.C. Biedermann Klinik für Dermatologie, Universitätsspital Basel Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD) is one of the major complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) and skin is one of the key target organs involved in its acute and chronic form. Immune mediated vessel attack and subsequent microvessel loss in skin has been observed in patients with chronic GVHD after aHSCT and endothelial derived von Willebrand factor (vWF) has been shown a useful biomarker for chronic GVHD. In this study, we wished to test whether long-term survivors of aHSCT without clinical and histological characteristics of cutaneous GVHD show signs of persistent vascular remodeling. Skin biopsies of a cohort of 32 recipients of allogeneic bone marrow transplants without any clinical signs of cutaneous GVHD (including 5 of those who were currently classified as having chronic GVHD other than skin involvement) were obtained on average 17 years (range 11-26) after aHSCT. Microvessels in skin were histomorphometrically assessed and quantified by two different, independent methods. We found no significant difference in average microvessel density and size distribution of microvessels in long term survivors compared to healthy controls. Moreover, neither past experience of acute or chronic GVHD nor current status of chronic GVHD had an impact on both parameters. In contrast, patients with chronic cutaneous GVHD of sclerotic type and patients with lichen sclerosus have microvessel loss in the superficial microvascular plexus of the skin. In conclusion, the complex therapy of aHSCT including procedures such as chemotherapy, pretransplant conditioning, total body irradiation and posttransplant experience of GVHD had no sustained effect on the microvascular architecture of long term survivors after aHSCT without clinical and histological evidence of cutaneous GVHD. Our histomorphometrical investigations do not give evidence, or, are not appropriate to suggest that subclinical GVHD is present in skin, even in those patients who experience current GVHD without skin involvement. Microvascular remodeling as observed during chronic GVHD is caused by ongoing immune mediated injury and Freie Mitteilungen recovers completely after resolution of chronic cutaneous GVHD. FC 4 Interaktive Wundstimulation mit Wachstumsarretierten menschlichen Keratinozyten und Fibroblasten in einer Fibrinmatrix: Allox, ein allogenes Tissue EngineeringProdukt der zweiten Generation zur Behandlung chronischer Hautwunden R. Goedkoop, E. Rolland, T. Hunziker Universitätsklinik für Dermatologie, Inselspital Bern Allox, ein allogenes Tissue Engineering-Produkt einer neuen Generation bestehend aus wachstumsarretierten menschlichen Keratinozyten und Fibroblasten und appliziert in einer Fibrinmatrix mittels Spray, zeigte in einer multizentrischen, randomisierten, doppelblinden, placebokontrollierten Phase-II-Studie bei therapierefraktären chronischen venösen Beinulzera eine Zunahme der Wirkung in Abhängigkeit von Zellzahl und -ratio, welche mit Versuchen zur Zytokinfreisetzung in vitro korrelierte. Die praeklinische und klinische Testung dieses neuartigen Produkts belegt, dass im Tissue Engineering mit allogenen, nicht proliferativen Zellen Dosisfindungs-Studien sowie eine langfristige Kryokonservierung möglich sind. Das Aufsprayen erlaubt eine einfache, berührungsfreie Applikation. Communications libres In a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled phase II study in recalcitrant chronic venous leg ulcers Allox, a new generation allogeneic tissue engineering product consisting of growth-arrested, human keratinocytes and fibroblasts delivered in a fibrin matrix by a spray device, showed increasing efficacy that correlated with cell number and ratio dependent in vitro data on cytokine release. The development of this novel product illustrates that using allogeneic, non-proliferative cells brings additional benefit compared to other tissue engineering products by allowing preclinical and clinical dose-finding studies as well as long-term storage in a frozen state. Spray application results in an easy, non-touch use. FC 5 Juvenile dermatomyositis: nailfold capillaroscopy changes, baseline predictors and disease course over 36 months S. Christen-Zaech, R. Seshadri, J. Sundberg, A.S. Paller, L. M. Pachman Service de Dermatologie et Vénéréologie, CHUV Methods : Duration of untreated disease, NFC, Disease activity scores (DAS), Tumor necrosis factor-α-308 allele, DQA1*0501, and disease course were analysed in 61 initially untreated children with JDM over 36 months. Regression analysis modelled the variation within and between each patient. Results : At diagnosis, shorter duration of untreated disease (p=0.05) and a lower DAS skin (p=0.035) were associated with a unicyclic disease course. Over 36 months, end-row loop (ERL) regeneration was associated with lower DAS skin (p<0.001) but not DAS muscle (p=0.9); ERL regeneration (p=0.04) and decreased bushy loops (BL) (p=0.04) were associated with a shorter duration of untreated disease. At 36 months, increased ERL regeneration (p=0.007) and improvement of DAS skin (p<0.001) and DAS muscle (p=0.025) were associated with a unicyclic disease course Conclusion : Early treatment of JDM may lead to a unicyclic disease course in 40% of cases. The non-unicyclic disease course is usually a reflection of continuing skin involvement with persistent NFC changes. More attention needs to be given to the optimal treatment of cutaneous findings in JDM. Objectives: To determine in children with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM), the association of nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) changes with clinical findings and genotype in order to identify differences in disease course.

Lechleitner, S. Christen-Zaech, R.G. Panizzon, D. Hohl Service de Dermatologie et Vénéréologie, CHUV Cutaneous B-cell lymphomas are a distinct and very important group of extranodal lymphomas. They represent 22.5 % of all lymphomas arising within the skin. We present a 37-year-old Caucasian man with a several months history of two asymptomatic, firm, nodules, which developed on the parieto-occipital scalp, and on the scar of a previously removed intradermal naevus of the chest. Histopathologic and immunohistolchemical analyses were positive for CD20, CD10 and Bcl6, and negative for Bcl2, and partly positive for MIB-1. No CD43 coexpression from B-cells was found. B monoclonality PCR research was positive on frozen skin material.There was no particular translocation t(14;18) Bcl2-JH at bone marrow analyses. These facts allowed to establish the diagnosis of a primary cutaneous follicular B-cell lymphoma. An extracutaneous involvement was excluded by computer tomography scan. Both cutaneous nodules were excised with security margins. However, subsequently a new nodule developed within 6 months on the parietal scalp. Renewed histoimmunochemical analysis confirmed the same diagnosis. A treatment with intralesional a-2a Interferon was initiated, leading to a current remission. P2 Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma: Significance of the size of a dominant T-cell clone detected by PCR B. Niklaus, J. Benhattar, N. Kunzle, F. Burri, C. Bricod, W. Kempf, R.G. Panizzon Service de Dermatologie et Vénéréologie, CHUV Patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) present clonal T-cell receptor gamma (TCR-y) gene rearrangements detectable by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We focused on the correlation of the estimated abundance of various T-cell clones at initial diagnosis and in the sequel of time with the development of CTCL. Forty-one patients were followed retrospectively over a mean period of 31.6 months (1-71 months), and investigated for clinical , histopathologic, immunophenotypic, and molecular genetic features. The only entering criterion was detection of a dominant T-cell clone by PCR on fresh frozen tissue. Among these 41 patients, 33 (80%) 24 developed a well characterized CTCL. At initial diagnosis the estimated size of the T-cell clone was small in 51% of cases and a CTCL was confirmed in 67% of them. A medium-sized T-cell clone was observed in 22% and a CTCL was proven in all of them. Large T-cell clones (27%) indicated CTCL in 91%. A constant feature was the reproducibility of the same T-cell clone in all cases during follow-up. We conclude that the incidence of CTCL increases with medium and large dominant T-cell clones, respectively, and that already small T-cell clones are suspect of CTCL and may, even in early stages of CTCL simulating inflammatory tissues, indicate a lymphoproliferative disorder. P3 Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma : dendritic cells are increased in dermal infiltrates and are in close contact with CD4+ tumor cells R.E. Hunger, A. Ochsenbein, U. Kaelin, N. Yawalkar Department of Dermatology, Inselspital Bern Primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) represents a heterogeneous group of extranodal nonHodgkin lymphomas of which mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome, are the most common types. Dendritic cells (DC) are professional antigen-presenting cells. They have the ability to induce primary immune responses and their functional and phenotypic properties profoundly influences the outcome of an immune response. Two different subsets of DC have been described. Plasmacytoid DC expressing the surface markers BDCA-2 are found under normal conditions mainly in the circulating blood. Myeloid DC are predominantely situated in the peripheral tissues. The aim of this study was to analyze the distribution and frequency of DC in lesions of CTCL. We therefore analyzed by a computer-based image analysis system immunohistochemically stained tissue sections from lesional and as a control from non-lesional skin of patients suffering from CTCL. Both DC subsets, plasmacytoid and myeloid, were clearly increased in lesional skin as assessed by the immunohistochemical markers for CD303 (BDCA-2), CD1a, CD206 (mannose receptor), CD207 (langerin), CD209 (DC-sign) and CD11c. Immunofluorescence double stainig with CD4 and CD1a antibodies demonstrated a close contact of tumor cells with DC. This results suggest that myeloid and plasmacytoid DC play an important role in tumor progression of CTCL. P4 T-cell lymphoma mimicking PLEVA: a case report D. Mahler, C. Brun del Re, L. Zala, T. Hunziker, R.E. Hunger Department of Dermatology, Inselspital Bern A 51-year-old man with a long standing history of sprue lost weight and complained of night sweat for half a year. In the same time multiple partly ulcerative papules and plaques developed on his entire skin. Moreover there were oral and genital ulcers. A extensive examination exhibited multiple ulcerations in the esophagus, stomach and duodenum as well as multiple nodular pulmonary infiltrates. Initial skin biopsy was consistent with PLEVA, further histological examinations including PCR analysis showed T-cell-receptor clonality indicating T-cell lymphoma. P5 Specific Cutaneous Infiltrates Of B-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia At The Site Of Influenza Vaccination X.-C. Pham, C. Prins, C. Barde, I. Masouyé Clinique de Dermatologie, Hôpital Cantonal Universitaire de Genève Specific cutaneous infiltrates of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) at sites of infectious skin diseases (herpes simplex, herpes zoster, Borrelia burgdorferi) or primary cutaneous epithelial neoplasms (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma) are rare. We present a case of a 75-year-old woman with B-CLL since 1999, who developed over 3 weeks an ulcerative plaque at the site of an influenza vaccination given 1 month before. The patient was receiving her 6th chemotherapy course since 1999 because of exacerbation of leukemia and was treated with chlorambucil. A skin biopsy revealed a dense, diffuse infiltrate of small lymphocytes throughout the entire dermis. The lymphocytes showed an aberrant phenotype CD20+/CD5+ consistent with B-CLL. The lesion was treated by excision. Leukemic infiltration of the skin at sites of preexistent skin diseases are rare but well documented and similarities exist with the socalled Köbner phenomenon. Previous reports suggested that this phenomenon may be a response to antigenic stimuli. To our knowledge, this is the first description of influenza vaccination-induced cutaneous infiltrates of B-CLL.

Fistarol Dermatologische Universitätsklinik Basel An otherwise healthy 24-year-old man presented with a two-week history of pain on the left upper jaw. Clinical examination showed a 10mm ulceration of the buccal gingiva 26/27. Radiographs revealed no osseous radiolucencies. Teeth 26 and 27 were not loosened and reacted vital. A biopsy disclosed a mixed nodular infiltration predominantly composed of atypical histiocytes, immunohistochemically staining positive with CD1a/S100, revealing the diagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). Clinical examination of skin and lymph nodes, complete blood count, liver function studies, chest X-ray, abdominal ultrasonography and technetium diphosphonate bone scan showed no evidence of further manifestations of the disease. The diagnosis of LCH restricted to the oral mucosa was established. The complete oral lesion including the gingival mucosa, the periost and the adjacent bone was ablated by CO2-laser and treated subsequently topically with triamcinolone acetonide. The patient is still in remission after 1 year of follow-up. Oral lesions often represent a very early sign of LCH and may predate systemic manifestations. Exclusive affection of the oral cavity is rare and usually originates from a bony lesion. We describe a patient with oral LCH limited to the mucosa without bony involvement. This rare manifestation of LCH may delay diagnosis. Our case reminds to include LCH in the differential diagnosis of oral mucosal ulcers. P7 Prognostische Relevanz von Lysyl Oxidase bei Plattenepithelkarzinomen im Bereich der Mundhöhle und des Oropharynx (OSCC). A. Albinger-Hegyi, S. Stoeckli,M. Storz, S. Schmid, H. Moch, I. Hegyi Department of Dermatology, Inselspital Bern Einleitung : Da die Hypoxie im Tumorgewebe, unabhängig von der Therapiemodalität, mit einer ungünstigen Prognose bei OSCC-Patienten assoziiert ist, haben wir in der vorliegenden Studie die prognostische Relevanz des hypoxieregulierten Proteins Lysyl-Oxidase (LOX) bei Plattenepithelkarzinomen der Mundhöhle und des Oropharynx untersucht. Patienten und Methode: Das Primärtumorund Lymphknotenmetastasengewebe von 92 Lymphknoten-negativen und 160 Lymphknotenpositiven Patienten haben wir mittels Gewebearraytechnologie (TMA) immunhistochemisch unter26 sucht. Als etablierter Hypoxiemarker wurde die Carboanhydrase IX (CAIX) verwendet. Die Expression wurde semiquantitativ mittels IRS-Score ermittelt. Resultate : Die Expression von LOX im Tumorgewebe korrelierte signifikant mit der Expression des Hypoxiemarkers CAIX. Ausserdem wiesen Patienten mit hoher Expression von LOX im Tumorgewebe ein ungünstiges Gesamtüberleben auf. Interessanterweise haben wir ausserdem eine hohe LOXExpression in den Lymphknotenmetastasen in 60% (79/130) der Lymphknoten-positiven Patienten. Schlussfolgerung : Die LOX-Expression korreliert signifikant mit der Expression des Hypoxiemarkers CAIX. Eine starke LOX-Expression bei Patienten mit Plattenepithelkarzinomen im Bereich der Mundhöhle und des Oropharynx ist mit einer verkürzten Überlebensrate assoziiert. In der multivariaten Analyse stellt neben dem T- und N-Stadium auch die starke LOX-Expression einen unabhängigen negativen prognostischen Faktor (p = 0,038) für das Gesamtüberleben dar. Die Bestimmung der LOX-Expression kann als prognostischer und diagnostischer Marker verwendet werden. Individuelle Expressionsmuster erlauben die Zuordnung der Patienten in unterschiedliche Risikogruppen. P8 Unusual presentation of a rapidly progressing giant melanoma Massimo C.R. Lurati, Stéphanie Christen-Zaech, Olivier Michielin, Renato G. Panizzon Service de Dermatologie et Vénéréologie, CHUV An 88-year-old woman presented with a rapidly expanding violet-black cranial plaque which had previously been biopsied and diagnosed as angiosarcoma. Due to an atypical clinical and histopathological presentation the patient was referred to our institution for a second opinion and further investigations. Renewed histopathological analysis as well as radiological imaging revealed extensive locally metastatic melanoma of unknown primary as well as an isolated unclassified melanoma of the right cheek. The diagnostic workup and therapeutic options are discussed in the setting of this extremely advanced locally invasive melanoma. P9 The Role of In-vivo Reflectance Confocal Mircoscopy in the Diagnosis of Melanoma I. Kolm , J. Hafner, R. Dummer, M. Oliviero, L.E.French, A.A. Marghoob, H. Rabinovitz, R.P. Braun Klinik für Dermatologie, Universitätsspital Zürich Background : In vivo reflectance confocal micros- copy (RCM) is a new promising tool for the non-invasive diagnosis of pigmented and non-pigmented skin lesions. RCM criteria for the diagnosis of melanoma have been described. Melanomas are mostly characterized by epidermal architectural disarray and pagetoid cells in the epidermis, non-edged papillae, and cellular atypia at the dermal-epidermal junction, and atypical nests and bright nucleated cells in the upper dermis (92% sensitivity, 69% specificity. In: Pellacani et al. JID 2007). Objectives: To evaluate the usefulness of RCM for the diagnosis of melanoma and melanoma recurrence. Methods : Patients with clinical and /or dermoscopic suspicious pigmented lesions were evaluated with RCM (Vivascope 1500; Lucid Inc, Rochester, NY). Moreover, we used the RCM for lesions where we suspected local recurrence of melanoma (for example monitoring Lentigo maligna melanoma after treatment with radiotherapy). Results : RCM improves the sensitivity in diagnosis of melanoma and can be helpful as a noninvasive technique for the early diagnosis of local melanoma recurrence. P 10 5 cases where In-vivo Reflectance Confocal Microscopy changed my mind R.P. Braun, I. Kolm, M. Oliviero, J. Hafner , L.E.French, A.A. Marghoob, H.Rabinovitz Klinik für dermatologie, Universitätsspital Zürich Background : In-vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM)is a new non invasive method for the in vivo diagnosis of melanoma. It bridges the gap between dermoscopy and histopathology because it provides at the time a horizontal overview like dermoscopy and allows at the same time the evaluation at a cellular level like histopathology. Objectives : To evaluate the usefulness of RCM for the diagnosis of equivocal pigmented lesions Methods : We present cases where this new tool clearly changed our mind and where confocal microscopy allowed to predict the true histopathological diagnosis. There were cases where dermoscopy examination was totally benign and the lesion turned out to be melanoma or vice versa Results : We present 5 cases where confocal microscopy overruled dermoscopy diagnosis and predicted the histopathological outcome. Posters P 11 POEMS Syndrome: case presentation and review of peculiar dermatological findings B.Pernus, P. Itin, P. Häusermann Dermatologie Universitätsspital Basel We report the case of an 74-year old patient who was diagnosed with POEMS Syndrome. He presented with axillary, inguinal and mediastinal lymphadenopathy, organomegaly with hepato-and splenomegaly, sclerotic bone lesions, peripheral neuropathy, endocrinopathy with hypothyroidism, hypercortisolisme and low serum-testosterone, monoclonal gammopathy and finally characteristic skin changes including multiple angiomas. Further histological work up revealed glomeruloid haemangiomas. POEMS syndrome is a complex and rare paraneoplastic syndrome secondary to a plasma cell dyscrasia. We aim to review the published dermatological findings with focus on vascular lesions. P12 - P14 Free Slots P 15 Eruptive inflamed melanocytic nevi resembling halo nevi T. Schneiter, H. Nievergelt, R.E. Hunger, D. Simon Klinik für Dermatologie und Venerologie; Universität Bern A rare case of eruptive melanocytic nevi resembling clinically and histologically halo nevi is presented. Although there are case reports on eruptive melanocytic nevi in the literature, inflamed variants have not been reported yet. This 57-year-old Caucasian man with fair skin suddenly developed dozens of small tumours on the trunk after sunbathing in Marokko. These dome shaped lesions had a diameter of 4-7 mm, a light brown to red colour, and were surrounded by a small hypopigmented rim. The histological examination as well as immunohistochemistry of three lesions revealed melanocytic tumours with a dense lymphocytic infiltrate resembling halo nevi. P 16 Syringomes éruptifs A.-M. Thielen, I. Masouyé, X.-C. Pham, F.-A. Le Gal Clinique de Dermatologie, Hôpital Cantonal Universitaire de Genève 28 Les syringomes sont des tumeurs annexielles bénignes dérivant de la partie épidermique de l’épithélium canalaire de la glande eccrine. Ils sont fréquents sur les paupières inférieures (0.6% de la population) où ils se présentent sous forme de papules dermiques uniques ou multiples, molles, translucides, de couleur chair ou discrètement jaunâtres. Notre patient de 16 ans, aux antécédents de dermatite atopique et de dermatose plantaire juvénile, a développé progressivement depuis l’âge de 8-9 ans de multiples petites lésions papuleuses, non prurigineuses, de couleur chair à brun clair, sur le tronc et plus récemment sur les cuisses, et le cou. L’analyse histologique a permis le diagnostic de syringome. Le syringome éruptif est une forme rare de syringome, avec moins de 100 cas décrits dans la littérature. L’origine du syringome éruptif est actuellement controversée: processus prolifératif annexiel primaire ou réponse hyperplasique du canal eccrine à une pathologie inflammatoire? Les syringomes éruptifs font partie du diagnostic différentiel des dermatoses papuleuses éruptives généralisées, particulièrement dans les deux premières décades. rencontrées sont la limitation des activités physiques, l’ulcération et les sur-infections. Il n’y a pas de dégénérescence maligne car il ne s’agit pas d’un ostéochondrome typique avec un cartilage hyalin et du périchondre mais d’une exostose avec un cartilage fibrocartilagineux. Le traitement se fait par excision chirurgicale après avulsion de la tablette unguéale. Les récidives sont fréquentes (10%) et sont dues à des excisions incomplètes. En conclusions, devant toute modification douloureuse d’un ongle chez le jeune il faut penser à une exostose sous-unguéale même si les signes unguéaux sont discrets. Le diagnostic de l’exostose sous-unguéale est aisé et repose sur la radiologie. P 17 L’exostose sous-unguéale: une tumeur à évoquer devant toute modification douloureuse d’un ongle Une patiente de 48 ans, sans antécédent d’acné, présentait depuis 9 mois des lésions acnéiformes prurigineuses des deux joues. L’examen anatomopathologique et l’immunohistochimie évoquaient le diagnostic de lymphome ou de pseudolymphome B. La sérologie et la PCR borréliennes (sur tissu fixé et inclus en paraffine) étaient négatives malgré un antécédent de morsure de tique. Un traitement systémique de doxycycline secondairement associé à un traitement topique de tacrolimus 0.1% ont induit une régression complète des lésions cutanées. L’absence de réarrangement clonal des gènes des immunoglobulines et la résolution complète et durable des lésions ont permis de retenir le diagnostic de pseudolymphome B. Il s’agit donc d’une présentation clinique rare de cette entité mimant une dermatose courante. Ce cas illustre la nécessité de remettre en cause le diagnostic d’acné devant des lésions atypiques et tardives. A. Campanelli, L. Borradori Clinique de Dermatologie, Hôpital Cantonal Universitaire de Genève L’exostose sous-unguéale est une tumeur ostéocartilagineuse bénigne concernant l’enfant et le jeune adulte. Elle touche généralement la phalange distale du gros orteil et pourrait être liée à une anomalie congénitale ou un défaut du périchondre. Une fille de 12 ans, sans antécédent médical, consulte en raison d’un nodule douloureux de l’hallux droit évoluant depuis 3 mois. Le diagnostic de verrue a été posé par plusieurs médecins qui ont prescrits de nombreux traitements anti-verruqueux topiques sans amélioration. L’examen clinique est celui d’un nodule charnu érosif du bourrelet latéral du gros orteil réalisant en regard une onycholyse et une destruction unguéale. La radiographie conventionnelle met en évidence une excroissance osseuse rattachée au dos de la phalangette sans rupture de la corticale ni autre anomalie, image caractéristique d’une exostose sous-unguéale. L’examen histologique de la résection tumorale montre un os trabéculaire mature couvert d’un tissu fibrocartilagineux. L’exostose sous-unguéale est souvent confondue avec les verrues sous-unguéales, l’onychomycose, le fibrome digital, la tumeur glomique, le botriomycome sur ongle incarné, le kyste mucoïde et le mélanome amélanique.

Direct immunofluorescence was negative. B and T cell clonality assays were negative. Serology for borreliosis was negative. A metallic foreign body was visualized by conventional radiography and CT imaging. EDX X-ray spectrophotometry showed the presence of nikel, iron and chromium containing metallic particles in the skin biopsy. Therapy by topical steroids and oral doxycyclin associated with dye laser treatment resulted in excellent clinical response. The association between an occupational metallic particle projection and pseudolymphoma has insofar never been reported. It is essential for dermatologists to be aware of this entity and its occupational health and insurance aspects. in the general environment of human beings, has rarely been reported as an etiological agent of superficial skin and nail infections in immunocompetent hosts. We report three brothers with underlying ichthyosis who developed cutaneous Geomyces pannorum infection. Therapy with oral terbinafine and topical ketoconazole resulted in complete resolution, although all three developed recurrent disease. Superimposed fungal infections may be more common and atypical in appearance in patients with ichthyosis, which was the likely predisposing factor in these brothers.

S. Drouot, B. Mignon, M. Fratti, P. Roosje, M. Monod. Service de dermatologie et vénéréologie, CHUV In cases of highly inflammatory dermatophytosis in humans, it is important to identify the possible source of animal transmission in order to prevent recurrence, family outbreaks or rapidly progressing epidemics. A survey of dermatophytes in pets during a 14 month period in Switzerland revealed, in addition to Microsporum canis, two different species of the Trichophyton mentagrophytes complex, Arthroderma benhamiae and Arthroderma vanbreuseghemii, all causing inflammatory dermatophytoses. Arthroderma benhamiae was only but frequently found on guinea pigs. Arthroderma vanbreuseghemii was found mainly on European short hair cats, but also on dogs and in one case on a pure-bred cat. Ninety-three percent of the cats carrying A. vanbreuseghemii were identified to be hunters and all had skin lesions. In contrast, cats that were strictly indoors with skin lesions were found to be almost exclusively infected by M. canis. Therefore, it can be suspected that infection with A. vanbreuseghemii occurred during hunting and that the natural source of this dermatophyte is soil or an animal other than the cat, most probably a rodent.

Elle a développé de nombreux épisodes de lésions vésiculo-bulleuses et érythémateuses survenant sur la face palmaire du 3e doigt droit associé à des douleurs intenses avec des états fébriles jusqu’à 39°C. Elle se rend à 7 reprises aux urgences où, à chaque fois, elle bénéficie d’incisions et de drainages du doigt et de la gaine du tendon fléchisseur. Après chaque intervention, elle reçoit des traitements antibiotiques systémiques et oraux. De nombreux prélèvements bactériologiques, mycologiques et mycobactériologiques reviennent systématiquement négatifs. L’immunofluorescence directe pour la recherche d’herpès s’avère négative. Une culture virale met alors en évidence la présence d’herpes simplex virus de type 2. Après introduction de valaciclovir oral 500 mg 2 fois par jour pendant 5 jours, le panaris guérit rapidement avec disparition des douleurs. Le panaris herpétique est une infection à herpes simplex virus récurrente qui touche habituellement les enfants et les jeunes adultes et résulte d’une auto-inoculation. Il peut aussi résulter, chez le personnel médical en particulier, d’une contamination auprès de patients atteints d’herpès labial. Le panaris herpétique peut être cliniquement difficile à distinguer d’un panaris bactérien. Il peut y avoir présence de pus ainsi qu›une lymphangite avec adénopathie épitrochléenne et axillaire. Toute présence de panaris récidivant ou ne répondant pas favorablement à un traitement antibiotique, doit faire évoquer la possibilité d’une étiologie herpétique même en l’absence de classiques vésicules groupées en bouquet. P 24 HIV-associated papular pruritic eruption in a rural environment in sub-saharan Africa A.A. Navarini-Meury, M. Stoeckle, S.S. Navarini-Meury, M. Mbata, E. Mossdorf, P. Kibatala, M. Tanner, C. Hatz, P. Schmid-Grendelmeier Dermatologische Klinik Universitätsspital Zürich In tropical countries, HIV patients commonly suffer from papular pruritic eruption (PPE). This skin disease involves the trunk, limbs and often the face. It has a high disease burden because of disfigurement and carries social stigma because of its high predictive value for HIV infection of up to 80%. In addition, it results in sleep and concentration problems due to constant itching. Pruritic papules are thought to result from immunologic reactions against residual mosquito antigens in the dermis. In a HIV cohort in rural Tanzania with 12% prevalence of PPE, we have retrospectively analysed response of PPE-patients to available treatments. Oral promethazine ameliorated subjective itching (p<0.001) and objective clinical scores (p<0.032) significantly more than topical steroids. PPE-Scores did not correlate with CD4 counts or antiviral medication. P25 Dermite de contact allergique aux chaussures due à la colophane G. Marazza, O. Sorg, P. Zimmerli, P. Piletta Clinique de Dermatologie, Hôpital Cantonal Universitaire de Genève Introduction : La dermite de contact allergique aux chaussures est une dermatose fréquente, favorisée par un effet synergique entre différentes substances allergisantes et un environnement propice à la pénétration des allergènes. Les allergènes fréquemment rencontrés sont le caoutchouc et les produits utilisés pour sa fabrication, les différentes colles et produits adhésifs ainsi que le cuir par le biais des sels de chrome, utilisés pour le tannage. Observation : Nous décrivons le cas d’une patiente de 39 ans, qui nous a consultés pour des lésions eczématiformes des pieds. Les tests épicutanés ont objectivé à 96h00 une sensibilisation au chrome (+++), au cobalt (++), à la colophane (++) et à 2 paires de chaussures de la patiente (++). Le diagnostic d’une dermite de contact aux chaussures a été retenu.

Discussion : La colophane est une résine d’origine naturelle chimiquement complexe, extraite de certaines variétés de pins. Elle est utilisée dans la fabrication du papier, de colles, d’adhésifs et de produits d’imprimerie. Son imputabilité dans les dermites de contact aux chaussures a été rapportée. Elle est le plus souvent utilisée comme adhésif au niveau des semelles, (produisant des lésions qui prédominent sur les plantes des pieds) mais aussi lors du processus de tannage du cuir (lésions au dos des pieds). Conclusion : La colophane est un produit très répandu dans l’environnement mais rarement impliqué dans le développement de dermites de contact allergiques aux chaussures. La découverte d’une sensibilisation à la colophane chez un patient avec eczéma des pieds devrait être considérée comme pertinente et systématiquement recherchée. P 26 Patch test flare up B. Theler, C. Bucher, L.E. French, B. Ballmer Weber, G.F.L. Hofbauer Dermatologische Klinik Universitätsspital Zürich Introduction : The persistence of an allergen and immunocompetent cells in sites of healed contact dermatitis as well as flare up reactions triggered by patch testing and after systemical provocation with the concerning allergen are well-known phenomena. We report to our knowledge the first flare-up of a previous patch test site following cutaneous application of nickel in an individual with latent nickel sensitization. Case report : Patch testing in a 23-year old female patient was performed for dermatitis following application of various gels and adhesive bandages: positive delayed type hypersensitivity reactions were noted for nickel sulfate and potassium chloride. The patient had never noticed skin reactions to nickel-containing items. Three weeks following these patch tests, the patient wore earrings which in the past had been well tolerated. She subsequently developed dermatitis of both earlobes within hours, and dermatitis at the site of nickel patch testing within a day. Discussion : Nickel exposure for 48 hours in a small patch test area under occlusion is sufficient to prime a previously unresponsive individual to subsequent exposure with the previously tolerated antigen. Nickel patch testing should thus be employed cautiously as it may unmask a clinically silent contact sensitization. P 27 Contact sensitivity to metals: evidence of irritant tests in metal implant patients P. Häusermann, K. Scherer, E. Kump, A.J. Bircher Allergologie, Dermatologie Universitätsspital Basel TEXT : Introduction : Contact sensitivity to metals is often suspected in patients with a variety of symptoms from metal implants. We evaluated the prevalence of positive patch tests to a large series of metals in a patients with complications from knee and hip protheses and osteosynthesis. Patients and Methods : Eighteen consecutive patients with metal implants associated with pain, swelling or dermatitis (11 females, 56 years) were included. All were patch tested with the German standard and an extended metal series (Chemotechnique, Hermal, Hospital pharmacy). Readings were done at day 2 and 3 according to the ICDRG guidelines. In 6 patients test reactions with an irritant pattern were examined with conventional and immune histochemistry. Results In metal implants patients 12/18 (66%) were positive to metals particularly nickel, cobalt, chromium and manganese, vanadium and rhodium. Some were morphologically allergic reactions, with a crescendo evolution, others particularly to manganese were irritant reactions with pustules and a decrescendo evolution. Histology revealed a mixed inflammatory pattern, immune histochemistry showed CD 3, , 8 and CD 163 positive cells. Discussion : We found an unexpected high prevalence of positive patch tests to metals in implant patients. There was a high prevalence to the classical metals nickel, cobalt and chromium. The majority of the positive reactions, however, could be related neither to exposure nor to symptoms. Irritant reactions may present a problem particularly with manganese, vanadium and rhodium. Metal contact sensitivity may play a contributing role in symptomatic metal implants, however non irritant test concentrations are mandatory. P 28 Recombinant allergens as diagnostic tool in mould allergy S. Nobbe, B. Simon-Nobbe, M. Breitenbach, P. Schmid-Grendelmeier Dermatologische Klinik Universitätsspital Zürich Background : Cladosporium herbarum (Cla h), together with Alternaria alternata (Alt a) are two of the most important allergenic moulds. For diagnostic skin tests, usually extracts purified from raw material are used. However with such extracts, only a limited standardization and purity is achievable. Recombinant allergens were found to be a very specific, reliable and safe tool for the diagnosis of mould allergic diseases. Patients and methods : We investigated in a clinical trial of 29 mould allergic patients the use of selected recombinant mould allergens (rAltNTF, rClaNTF, rAltMtDH, rClaMtDH, rAlta1, rClaTcTPEn) in skin prick tests (SPT), in comparison with natural mould allergen extracts and defined also specific IgE against these allergens by ELISA. Results : SPT with the recombinant allergen rAlta1 were highly specific and detected more patients than the skin tests with the allergen extracts. The other recombinant allergens showed only in a very limited number of patients positive SPT and seem to be of lower importance. The correlation between SPT and specific serum IgE was very high. Conclusion : Our findings support the use of recombinant proteins in the diagnostic work up, especially for Alt a1 - related allergies. In spite of the large number of allergens in Alt a, it is likely that a combination of Alta1 with a small number of other recombinant allergens is sufficient to diagnose Alt a - sensitised patients with high sensitivity and specificity. Recombinant allergens will allow a more precise diagnosis and possibly also a highly efficient specific. P 29 Chronic Urticaria: Cognitive flexibility influences the course of urticaria B. Töndury, P. Bures, B. Mühleisen, S. Büchi, B. K. Ballmer-Weber Dermatologische Klinik Universitätsspital Zürich Chronic Urticaria : Cognitive flexibility influences the course of urticaria A consultation for urticaria patients has been established at the Department of Dermatology of the University Hospital of Zurich since January 2007. Correlation between patient’s history and type/cause of urticaria, impact of a positive autologous serum skin test (ASST) and of psychological factors on the course of urticaria were investigated. 98 patients with a mean age of 39 years (range: 11-77 years) and chronic or acute intermittent urticaria were recruited from January till December 2007. Patients were interviewed on suspected trigger factors of their urticaria and their cognitive flexibility was assessed using a Pictorial Representation of Illness and Self Measure (PRISM). ASST and physical tests (for pressure, cold, etc.) were performed. Patient’s history correlated in fourteen patients with the identified type of urticaria (14,3%). Food allergy was suspected to cause urticaria by 32 patients (32,7%), physical triggers by 59 patients (60%), but could be only confirmed in five and four patients, respectively. The ASST 33 Posters was positive in thirty-five cases (54%). 65 patients (66,3%) demonstrated in PRISM analysis to have a cognitive flexibility, i.e. to be able to see a variation in the intensity and frequency of their symptoms. Thirty-nine of those patients (60%) showed a favourable course, i.e. a reduction of days with urticaria symptoms of 25%. Fifteen patients had no cognitive flexibility and only five of those (33,3%) showed a favourable course. However, there was no correlation between the outcome of ASST and the course of the urticaria. In conclusion: patient’s history did not correlate with the clinical test results. More importantly, however, there is an indication that cognitive flexibility could be a predictive marker for the course of chronic urticaria. P 30 Galvanic urticaria G. Vanini, C. Mainetti Servizio di Dermatologia, ORBV, Bellinzona A 25-year-old woman presented to the dermatology department with a 3 year history of excessive sweating from the feet and axillae. She was otherwise well, had no medical history of note and was on no regular medication. We decided to treat hyperhidrosis with aluminium chloride hexahydrate solution witch was poorly tolerated. Iontophoresis was administered to feet without addition of an anticholinergic agent in room temperature water. Direct current at a maximum of 30 mA was used. After 10 min, an itchy eruption appeared and persisted for 1 h. Examination revealed urticaria. Only areas immersed in the iontophoresis chamber were involved. Urticarias occuring secondary to an environmental stimulus is known as physical urticarias. Physical urticarias are responsible for approximately 15% of urticarias. Cholinergic (by an increase in core body temperature), aquagenic, heat, vibratory urticarias were ruled out by appropriate diagnostic tests. Heat, cold, sunlight, pressure, water and vibration have been described in association with urticaria; however, the development of urticaria following the administration of an electrical current (galvanic urticaria) is extremely rare. P 31 Iodine is rarely the elicitor in hypersensitivity reactions to contrast media pathomechanism is not clear, contradictory results with a very low up to a 70% prevalence of positive IDT have been reported. In DT reactions, delayed positive patch and IDT tests, and ICM-specific Tcells suggest a T cell-mediated mechanism. In both the role of iodine has not been clarified so far. Since occasionally positive skin tests to iodine containing drugs are observed, such patients are often falsely labelled as being “allergic to iodine”. We investigated the presence of a hypersensitivity to iodine in patients with a history of hypersensitivity reactions to ICM. Methods 16 patients (7 male, 9 female, mean age: 61.6 years) with a history of IT-(group A, n=6) or DT- (group B, n=8) hypersensitivity reactions to ICM/iodine were investigated. Depending on the clinical reaction, skin prick tests, IDT and patch tests (PT) with several ICM and different iodine formulations were done. After exclusion of contraindications and obtaining informed consent, all underwent oral provocation with pure iodine solutions. Results In group A, positive skin tests to 2 ICM were observed. One patient with completely negative skin tests reacted twice to oral iodine with an urticarial exanthem. In group B, a T cell-mediated sensitization to one or more ICM was identified in the skin tests in 8/8. In 5/8 patients additional contact sensitizations to one or more iodine formulations was found, Oral provocation with iodine was negative in 6/8 patients. Two patients developed an exanthem after oral provocation with iodine. Three patients experienced a transient nausea and dizziness during oral provocation. Conclusion : We have previously demonstrated in a patient with iodine mumps that oral challenge with Lugol’s solution is in principle a valid means to elicit a hypersensitivity reaction to iodine. In 13 patients we were able to show that in the majority iodine is not the eliciting agent in hypersensitivity reactions to ICM. Therefore, in these cases more likely the ICM molecules and not iodine are the eliciting structures. One patient with an IT reaction to an ICM and an urticaria to iodine did not have a detectable sensitization to an ICM. Two patients with DT reaction and broad sensitization to all ICM tested reacted to oral iodine. P 32 Apoptosis in cutaneous cytotoxic GVHD and correlation to cytotoxic- and regulatory T cells K. Scherer, T. Harr, S. Bach, A.J. Bircher Klinik für Dermatologie, Universitätsspital Basel E. Kump, B. Biedermann, P. Itin, P. Häusermann Klinik für Dermatologie, Universitätsspital Basel Background : Hypersensitivity reactions to iodinated contrast media (ICM) are either immediate reactions (IT) occurring typically within one hour, or delayed reactions (DT), which typically occur after several hours to one or 2 days. In IT reactions, the We study lymphocyte involvement and apoptotic events in the cytotoxic dermatoses cytotoxic-type GVHD (acute and late acute GVHD, lichenoid chronic GVHD), idiopathic lichen planus and benigne solitary lichenoid keratosis. We aim to identify 34 and quantify the relative contribution of lymphocyte subsets in the induction of apoptosis of keratinocytes and correlate those to cellular cytotoxic and regulatory events. Using immunofluorescence assays on paraffin sections of skin biopsies from large patient databases, we screen for presence, localization and activity of cytotoxic T-cells (CTLs) (CD3+CD8+), inflammatory CTLs (CD8+TIA-1+), T-helper cells (CD3+CD4+) and regulatory T-cells (CD4+FoxP3+). On parallel slides, we detect corresponding apoptotic events by using the TUNEL assay and assess the target cell types based on their subtissue localization. This study is a starting project with focus on the further elucidation of the pathogenesis of cutaneous GVHD. P 33 Treatment-induced localized pemphigus of the lower lip: first manifestation of pemphigus vulgaris or treatment-induced transient pemphigus-like disease? Gex-Collet C, Scherer K, Itin P, Häusermann P Klinik für Dermatologie, Universitätsspital Basel We report the case of a 76-year old female patient who was treated for actinic cheilitis with CO2 laser treatment and subsequently developed the clinical picture of erosive cheilitis. The further histopathological and serological work up including direct immunofluorescence studies revealed a clear cut formal diagnosis of pemphigus vulgaris without any further manifestations. Systemic and topical glucocorticoids were successfully administrated and could be tapered within few weeks. We discuss the potential mechanisms of treatment induced pemphigus and try to propose criterias to delineate autoimmune bullous pemphigus vulgaris. Finally, we review the literature with focus on laser-induced pemphigus-like skin diseases. P 34 B cells depletion for therapy-resistant cutaneous manifestations in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) G.L Vanini, J-F. Balavoine, C. Chizzolini, L. Borradori Clinique de Dermatologie, Hôpital Cantonal Universitaire de Genève Background: Skin involvement is one of the most common manifestations of SLE. While cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is not life-threatening, it may result in considerable morbidity. CLE may be difficult to manage with both topical and systemic therapies. B-cell depletion using anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (rituximab) is currently in- Posters vestigated in the management of autoimmune diseases. Rituximab may induce remission in SLE, its value in controlling CLE is, however, unclear. Aim and intervention: To test the efficacy of rituximab in two patients with long-lasting SLE with CLE manifestations refractory to a variety of topical and systemic therapies (steroids, calcineurin inhibitors, antimalarials, immunosuppressants). Both patients received four weekly infusions of 375mg/m2 of rituximab. The usual immunosuppresive therapy was continued. Results: In both cases, B cell depletion led progressively to a significant improvement of their skin manifestations. Furthermore, prednisone dosage could be reduced (from 20 to 2.5 mg/d and from 30 to 10 mg/d, respectively). During the period of B depletion, no serious side effects were observed. In one case, 17 months after antiCD20 treatment a relapse was observed, which occurred concomitantly with the reconstitution of B cell numbers. Two additional doses of rituximab (375mg/m2, at 1 week of interval) controlled her skin involvement. At present both patients show no or weak cutaneous activity, seven and six months after the last infusion, respectively. Conclusion: Our results suggest that B cells depletion represents a viable option for the treatment of therapy-resistant cutaneous involvement in LES. Our patient has not developed any underlying malignancy so far, but she will be followed closely. Vesiculobullous Sweets is a rare variant of this syndrome, and a review of literature has shown that it is most frequently associated with myelogenous leukaemia. P 36 A case of Erythema Elevatum Diutinum associated with an IgG kappa stage III multiple myeloma. : P. Perrier, A. Christinat, B. Noël, AK. Lapointe, D. Hohl Service de dermatologie et vénéréologie, CHUV Erythema Elevatum Diutinum (EED) is a rare, chronic neutrophilic dermatosis histologically characterized by leukocytoclastic vasculitis. We report the case of a 71 years old woman with an IgG kappa stage III multiple myeloma, diagnosed one month before she was referred to our dermatological clinic. Before initiation of chemotherapy, she presented symmetrical painful violaceus-yellowish nodulo-pustular lesions of the extensor faces of elbows, of the dorsal metacarpo-phalangeal joints and lateral sides of both 2nd fingers, and on the anterior face of the right leg. Skin biopsy revealed necrotic epidermis, massive neutrophilic infiltration of the entire dermis and vascular damage. Immunofluorescence showed granular deposits in vessel walls. EED was diagnosed based on clinical and histopathological findings. Dapsone therapy was prescribed and 5 days later myeloma chemotherapy (Thalidomide, Melphalan, Prednisolone) was initiated. Dapsone was taken during 3 weeks with a rapid improvement of the lesions and then stopped in order to avoid neuropathy in association with Thalidomide. 6 weeks after onset of lesions and 4 weeks after initiation of anti-cancer therapy, serum IgG were normalized and b2-microglobulin significantly decreased. Concomitantly, nodules had flattened, and only violaceous hyperkeratotic residual macules were seen. There is low consensus about therapeutical modalities for EED, although Dapsone seems to be more successful than other drugs. This case illustrates a rapid resolution of early EED lesions under Dapsone and effective anti-cancer therapy. P 35 Bullous Sweet syndrome with no associated malignancy M. Vernez, R.G. Panizzon, S. ChristenZaech Service de dermatologie et vénéréologie, CHUV Sweet›s syndrome is an acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis characterized by erythematous plaque, arthralgias, myalgias, and leukocytosis, which is often associated with infections, malignancies, inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune disorders, drugs or pregnancy. We report a 44-year-old women, who presented with fever, malaise, arthralgia and a recent eruption of numerous, erythematous, painful plaques on the face, trunk, arms and thighs that evolved rapidly into bullous lesions. Mucous membranes were not involved. Laboratory results revealed a slight leucocytosis with neutrophilia, a discrete thrombocytopenia and an increased creactive protein. Histopathologic examination of the superficial dermis showed a dense neutrophilic infiltrate and a massive oedema confirming our clinical diagnosis of bullous Sweet syndrome. Underlying etiologies were excluded by microbiologic exams, whole body computer tomography scan, gastrointestinal investigations, drug review, laboratory screening for autoimmune disorders and hematopathies. Therapy with oral prednisone, 50 mg once a day for 5 days, and topical corticosteroids creams resulted in a prompt relief of all symptoms. Fortes démangeaisons? 35 Posters P 37 Erythema induratum Bazin: endemische und nicht endemische Infektion M.A.M. Rezzonico Corti1, P. Michalopoulos1, I. Masouyé2, C. Mainetti1 1. Servizio Cantonale di Dermatologia, ORBV, Bellinzona 2. Clinique de Dermatologie, Hôpital Cantonal Universitaire de Genève Unter dem Begriff vom Erythema induratum Bazin versteht man eine allergisch-hypererge Reaktion nach hämatogener Streuung von Tuberkelbakterien oder ihren Bestandteilen aus einem tuberkulösen Fokus. Zwei klinische Fälle, eine 50-jährige Patientin balkanischer Herkunft und ein 63-jähriger Tessiner, werden diskutiert. Die erste Patientin erhielt eine antituberkulöse Therapie gemäss den Richtlinien der schweizerischen Lungenliga. Der zweite Patient erhielt wegen einer Leberinsuffizienz eine modifizierte antituberkulöse Therapie. Der klinische Verlauf beider Patienten war erfolgreich und komplikationslos. Das Erythema induratum Bazin stellt gelegentlich eine diagnostische Herausforderung dar. Auch in nicht endemischen Tbc-Gebieten lohnt es sich, ein Tbc-Screening durchzuführen. Weiterhin sollten die Ergebnisse des Mantoux-Tests, eine PCR-Untersuchung auf Tbc-DNA des betroffenen Gewebes und eventuell ein Interferon-gamma Bluttest in die Diagnostik einfliessen. General Dermatology P 40 Actinic lichen planus : report of a case with melasma-like-features E. Khelifa, S. Abraham, P. Chavaz, I. Masouyé, L. Borradori Clinique de Dermatologie, Hôpital Cantonal Universitaire de Genève Actinic lichen planus (ALP) (synonyms: lichen planus tropicus, lichenoid melanodermatitis, lichen planus atrophicus annularis) is a chronic benign disease. It is a distinct variant of lichen which often occurs on light-exposed areas with racial predilection for Orientals. We describe a patient presenting with diffuse melasma-like hyperpigmentation on the face first diagnosed as cutaneous lupus erythematosus (LE). Observation: A 32-year-old woman of Moroccan origin progressively developed hypermelanotic patches on her face, assuming a melasma-like appearance as well as erythematous lesions with slight-to-moderate scaling. Her medical history was otherwise unremarkable. Microscopic examination of a skin biopsy specimen revealed vacuolar degen36 eration of the basal cell layer. A band-like lymphohistiocytic infiltrate was present in the upper dermis with pigmentary incontinence. Discussion: ALP is typically characterized by the presence of pruritic violaceous papules most commonly located on the extremities of young and middle-aged adults. It may be accompanied by oral and genital mucous membrane lesions as well as hair and nail involvement. A chloasma/melasma-like form of ALP has also been rarely described in females. Although the similarity to melasma is striking, the histopathologic picture with presence of an interface dermatitis is distinctive. ALP should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cutaneous LE and melasma-like lesions in all patients originary from Middle East, North Africa and India. P 41 Linear morphea follows Blaschko’s lines L. Weibel, J. Harper Dermatologische Klinik Universitätsspital Zürich Background : The aetiology of morphea (or localized scleroderma) remains unknown. It has previously been suggested that lesions of linear morphea may follow Blaschko’s lines and thus reflect an embryological development. However, the distribution of linear morphea has never been accurately evaluated. Objectives : We aimed to identify common patterns of clinical presentation in paediatric patients with linear morphea and to establish whether linear morphea follows the lines of Blaschko. Methods : A retrospective chart review of 65 children with linear morphea was performed. According to clinical photographs the skin lesions of these patients were plotted onto standardized head and body charts. With the aid of Adobe Illustrator a final figure was produced including an overlay of all individual lesions which was used for comparison with the published lines of Blaschko. Results : Thirty-four (53%) patients had the en coup de sabre subtype, 27 (41%) presented with linear morphoea on the trunk and/or limbs and 4 (6%) children had a combination of the two. In fifty-five (85%) children the skin lesion were confined to one side of the body, showing no preference for either left or right side. By comparing the overlays of all body and head lesions with the original lines of Blaschko there was an excellent correlation. Conclusions : Our data indicates that linear morphea follows the lines of Blaschko. We hypothesize that in patients with linear morphea susceptible cells are present in a mosaic state and that exposure to some trigger factor may result in the development of this condition. P 42 Pediatric Morphea (Localized Scleroderma): Review of 136 Patients S. Christen-Zaech, M.D. Hakim, F.S. Afsar, A.S. Paller Service de dermatologie et vénéréologie, CHUV Background : Morphea is an autoimmune inflammatory sclerosing disorder that may cause permanent functional disability and disfigurement. Objectives : Determine the clinical features of morphea in a large pediatric cohort. Methods : Retrospective chart review of 136 pediatric patients with morphea from one center, 1989-2006. Results : Most children showed linear morphea, with a disproportionately high number of Caucasian and female patients. Two patients with rapidly progressing generalized or extensive linear morphea and arthralgias developed restrictive pulmonary disease. Initial oral corticosteroid treatment and long-term methotrexate administration stabilized and/or led to disease improvement in most patients with aggressive disease. Conclusions : These data suggest an increased prevalence of morphea in Caucasian girls, and support methotrexate as treatment for problematic forms. Visceral manifestations rarely occur; the presence of progressive problematic cutaneous disease and arthralgias should trigger closer patient monitoring. P 43 Primary atrophic solitary morphea profunda E. Khelifa, I. Masouyé, P. Chavaz, H. Hauser, J.-P. Grillet, L. Borradori Clinique de Dermatologie, Hôpital Cantonal Universitaire de Genève Localized scleroderma, also known as morphea, is a cutaneous disorder of unknown origin. We report here an unusual case of solitary morphoea profunda (SMP), a form of morphea rarely mentioned and discussed in the literature that presented with isolated non-inflammatory lesions mimicking localized lipoatrophy. Primary atrophic scleroderma had already been reported, but to our knowledge, there is no description of primary atrophic solitary morphea profunda. Besides, in contrary of other reports of SMP, having clinical signs of epidermal involvement (atrophy, purplish colour, depigmentation…), our patient had no superficial changes of skin colour or texture. Because of the rarity of the condition, there are no well established therapeutic approaches for localized morphea and morphea profunda. Posters P 44 Zincdermatitis–like erythroderma as a precursor of systemic lupus erythematodes S. Haug, J. Bäte J., C. Pournaras, M.D. Anliker Clinic of Dermatology, St. Gallen Introduction : Causes for an erythroderma can vary widely and therefore always pose a challenge for the dermatologist in charge. Besides quite common skin alterations like atopic or seborrheic eczema or psoriasis, more rarely skin diseases like T-cell lymphoma, zinc deficiency syndrome or manifestation of a form of systemic or cutaneous lupus have also to be considered. Skin manifestations of the zinc deficiency syndrome are typically alterations of the orifices and distal extremities and commonly becomes infected with bacteria and yeast. Cutaneous lupus erythematosus is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease with multiple forms of cutaneous manifestations and a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations. Therefore the diagnose sometimes can be hard to make. Patient/methods : The female, 85 years old, did not have any systemic symptoms prior to the development of a widespread erythrodermic eczematous dermatitis resembling a psoriasis guttata or zinc deficiency dermatitis. The skin alterations were resisting to treatment with topical steroids, systemic Acitretin combined with systemic steroids and Cycolsporine with topic and systemic steroids under the presumption of a psoriasis guttata. Amelioration could only be reached by the treatment with a combination of Plaquenil, Imurek and Prednison. A skin biopsy included direct immunfluoreszenz technic also as mycological investigations and laboratory tests were performed. Weeks later this patient developed a severe anaemia Hb 117 g/l and was hospitalised for 4 days. A source for internal bleeding was not found. Results : The skin biopsy revealed an eczematous reaction resembling a photosensitive dermatosis or a subacute cutane lupus erythematodes. All laboratory findings were normal besides an elevated titer for ANA (1:640) and SS-A/Ro IgG. Therefore first the diagnosis of a SCLE was made. After the anaemia , which had to be corrected by two blood bottles the diagnosis of a systemic lupus was discussed versus drug side effects of Imurek. Discussion : Sometimes atypical skin lesions can lead the way to the diagnosis of a systemic lupus erythematodes. As we did not stop Imurek medication after the anaemic event and still find the patients under good conditions, the proof for the diagnosis is very probable. The patient is currently under diagnostic procedure to exclude more organ manifestations of a systemic lupus erythematodes. P 45 Revival or long forgotten: Features in zinc deficiency AUTEURS : J. Bäte, M.D. Anliker Clinic of Dermatology, St. Gallen. Zinc deficiency is known to cause or to contribute to skin diseases, acrodermatitis enteropathica probably being the most well known one. Some other dermatologic conditions appear to be associated with decreased blood levels of this trace element: non-healing leg ulcers, xerotic acrodermatitis, asteatotic eczema, cheilitis angularis, blepharitis angularis, psoriasiform dermatitis, acneiform folliculitis, alopecia of diffuse pattern, nail dystrophy, nails’ Beau-lines, clinical picture of necrolytic migratory erythema. A decrease in alkaline phosphatase will confirm zinc deficiency, if the patient does not present the typical clinical picture. Genetic disorders, malnutrition, malabsorption and organism’s high demand can cause serum zinc deficiency. Number Information professionnelle abrégée de Protopic® C: Principe actif: tacrolimus.

Lack of zinc is associated with other symptoms: diarrhoea, hypoproteinaemia, impaired cellular immunity. Zinc needs to be substituted orally for three months. In case of malnutrition patients should receive nutritional education. Zinc tablets are a drug with potential side-effects: erythroderma, copper and iron deficiency and subsequent anaemia (blood count after 1.5 months recommended); it appears to increase the risk of urinary-genital infections in smokers. In persistant zinc deficiency following adequate substitution and genetic abnormality missing, a gastrointestinal work-up is advised. We will present a few cases with clinical pictures. P 46 Keratosis pilaris atrophicans faciei (Ulerythema ophryogenes): A case report AUTEURS : Nedzmidin Pelivani, Robert E Hunger, Nikhil Yawalkar, Ivan Hegyi, Thomas Hunziker Department of Dermatology, University hospital Bern We report on a 27-year-old woman referred to our clinic with scarring alopecia and midfacial erythema suggestive for lupus erythematosus. Further findings were loss of lateral eyebrows with erythema, follicular papules and hyperkeratosis. This clinical picture as well as histology was consistent with ulerythema ophryogenes, a rare hereditary disorder with altered follicular keratinization. P 47 Martorell’s hypertensive ischemic leg ulcer must not be confounded with pyoderma gangrenosum - a review on 31 consecutive cases J. Hafner, S. Nobbe, H. Partsch, S. Läuchli, Mayer Dieter, R. Speich, Huber Lars, B. Ammann-Vesti, G. Burg, L.E. French Dermatologische Klinik Universitätsspital Zürich Background : Martorell’s hypertensive ischemic leg ulcer (HYTILU) has become one of the leading causes of leg ulcers at the Department of Dermatology, University Hospital of Zurich. Despite its frequency, the majority of patients are initially misdiagnosed as pyoderma gangrenosum (PG). Treatment strategy of HYTILU and PG are completely different. Objective : To outline the characteristics of HYTILU and the therapeutic consequeces. Patients and Methods: A consecutive series of 31 patients with HYTILU were subjected to a thorough retrospective 38 analysis. Results : 31/31 Patients presented with one or multiple painful necrotic skin ulcers at the laterodorsal leg, bilateral in 16/31 instances (52%). 16/31 (52%) were referred under the suspicion of PG and 12/31 (39%) were under systemic immunosuppression. All patients had arterial hypertension (100%) and 18/31 (58%) diabetes. All patients showed a histology of subcutaneous stenotic arteriolosclerosis, in 22/31 (71%) with media calcification. Peripheral arterial disease was diagnosed in 14/31 (45%). For treatment, 29/31 (94%) patients underwent debridement and split skin grafting, in 12/31 (39%) at repeated occasions. Only 2/31 (6%) healed by conservative means. Three (9%) patients died from sepsis, two of them under immunosuppression for supposed pyoderma gangrenosum. Conclusions : Martorell’s HYTILU is a clearly defined entity that can easily be overlooked and confounded with PG. Diagnosis involves clinical and vascular assessment, together with histological confirmation. Treatment is based on surgical measures, specifically debridement, vacuum-assisted negative pressure wound treatment, and split skin grafts, often at repeated occasions. Antibiotic treatment is often necessary. Immunosuppression is not warranted and may expose patients to the risk of sepsis. P 48 Blue toe syndrome revisited, or: 9 conditions leading to a blue toe M.D. Anliker, J. Bäte, S. Haug, C. Pournaras Clinic of Dermatology, St. Gallen Introduction : The blue toe syndrome is referred to in the case of cholesterine embolism, but can be a sign of other diseases with great impact. The intention was to collect cases of blue toes of any cause. Patients/methods : Subsequently 14 patients with blue toes of any genesis were examined in an outpatient clinical setting over a course of 6 years. Clinical clues and known internal diseases could sometimes lead to an obvious diagnosis, some times the cause was revealed by specific serologic examinations, but in the majority of cases biopsy for histopathological examination was essential in diagnosis. Only 4 of the patients in the end were diagnosed having cholesterine embolism, in the other cases blue toes were the result of sarcoidosis, systemic lupus erythematodes, borreliosis, paraneoplastic cryoglobulinemia and others more. Discussion : Causes of a blue toe can differ greatly and its recognition can lead to the finding of a systemic disease; often the histopathological analysis is essential. Treatment P 49 A case for Mohs Surgery: when to do slow Mohs and when frozen section Mohs S. Läuchli, J. Hafner, L. French Dermatologische Klinik Universitätsspital Zürich Mohs Surgery is a technique allowing histological visualization of the complete surgical margins. For many skin tumors, it is the treatment of choice, aimed at achieving the highest possible cure rate whilst preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. This is especially true for tumors with an invasive growth pattern, such as sclerosing BCC or DFSP, and/or tumors in difficult anatomical locations. Mohs surgery using frozen sections became popular in the USA in the 1970’s following publications by Mohs and Tromovitch. Many European centers prefer an alternative method in the form of slow Mohs which involves embedding the specimens in paraffin and reading the slides the next day. At the University Hospital in Zurich, the practice of frozen section Mohs has been implemented parallel to slow Mohs two years ago. The comfort of reaching tumor free margins within a few hours and the efficiency of frozen section Mohs has led to its quick acceptance. In some instances, slow Mohs is still preferred, appreciated for its accuracy in detecting tumor cells in the margins, especially in tumors such as DFSP and Lentigo Maligna, and for its feasability with very large tumors. Presenting a few cases for both methods, their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. P 50 Schmerzarme photodynamischen Therapie PDT durch die Vorbereitung mit 0,075% Capsaicin Crème. E.E. Küng, L.S. Steinmann. Dermatologische Klinik Universitätsspital Zürich Einleitung und Problemstellung: Obwohl die photodynamische Therapie (PDT) schon seit mehreren Jahren in vielen Spielarten zur Anwendung kommt, ist sie als Methode noch weit von einer Standardisierung entfernt. Insbesondere die teils ausgeprägten, brennenden Schmerzen während der Beleuchtung sind ein riesiges (Akzeptanz-)Problem bei den Patienten. Material und Methode: Seit 07/2004 wurden an unserer Praxis gegen 500 Patienten (Durchschnittsalter 66 J) mit Methyl-Aminolävulinsäure (MALA, Metvix®), ab 02/2005 mit 5-Aminolävulinsäure-Nanokolloidgel (5-ALA) zumeist wegen aktinischen Keratosen mit dem Aktilite® CL 128 LED System behandelt. Seit 02/2007 haben wir begonnen, bei der 5-ALA zur Penetrationsförderung der 5-ALA die Haut vor Auftragen des Gels mit Wundbenzin zu entfetten.

Es zeigte sich, bei im Übrigen vergleichbaren Resultaten, eine deutliche Verbesserung der Schmerzen, allerdings für eine gute Patientenakzeptanz immer noch nicht genügend. Wir haben deshalb ab 12/2007 bei allen neuen Patienten zusätzlich eine 0,075% Capsaicin-Crème (in Excipial Crème) in der ersten Woche 4/d, in der zweiten Woche 3/d für zwei Wochen Gesamtanwendungszeit vor dem Beleuchtungstermin durch die Patienten selber als Therapievorbereitung auf die zu behandelnden Stellen mit einem Randsaum von 1-2 cm auftragen lassen. Resultate: In den ersten Tagen gaben die Patienten erwartungsgemäss ein leichtes Brennen nach dem Auftragen der Capsaicin Creme an. In allen der mittlerweile über 50 Fälle zeigte sich eine starke Absenkung der Schmerzhaftigkeit während und nach der PDT, teilweise wurde die Behandlung sogar nahezu schmerzfrei. Die Aufnahme des Lichtsensibilisators 5-ALA und die erreichten klinischen Resultate der Behandlungen wurden in keiner Art und Weise eingeschränkt (Fluoreszenzkontrolle und klinische Nachkontrollen nach 2 - 3 Monaten). Konklusion: Die Anwendung von Capsaicin 0.075 % 2 Wochen vor PDT löst das Problem der starken neuropathischen Schmerzen elegant und wird von den Patienten gut toleriert. Bei richtiger Anwendung ist das Verfahren einfach und sicher. P 51 MAL-Photodynamic Therapy : Efficacy and Safety M.A.M. Rezzonico Corti, C. Mainetti Servizio Cantonale di Dermatologia, Ospedale Regionale Bellinzona e Valli Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment modality mainly used for nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSC) and their precursors. This study evaluates the efficacy and the safety of methyl-aminolaevulinate (MAL)-PDT in our clinic. During a three months period ending January 2008, we enrolled 46 patients affected with 120 actinic skin precanceroses or NMSCs treated with MAL-PDT. The outcome of the therapy was checked 8 weeks after the end of the treatment. The healing rate was 88.0% (73 of 83 lesions) for actinic keratoses, 100% (9) for Bowen diseases and 88.9% (16 of 18) for basocellular carcinomas; 65% of the treated lesions had no side effects after PDT and 90% of them healed. The most frequent cosmetic discomfort was skin discoloration. MAL-PDT can be considered efficient and safe. According to our results, the profile of the patient with the highest relapse risk is: a man, treated on the scalp or on the back of the hands in a field cancerisation area. Similary to literature, 35% of the patients presented at least one permanent side effect independently from localization or gender. P 52 MAL-Photodynamic Therapy: Pain, Phototoxic Reaction and Patient Satisfaction M.A.M. Rezzonico Corti, C. Mainetti Servizio Cantonale di Dermatologia, Ospedale Regionale Bellinzona e Valli Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) can cause pain and a phototoxic reaction (PTR) resulting in erythema, edema and crusting. These conditions are considered transitory side effects and the resulting discomfort is often underestimated. We describe our experiences with 46 patients affected with 120 lesions treated with MAL-PDT, all of whom were treated in our clinic and enrolled between November 2007 and January 2008. We interviewed each patient about pain, grade of PRT and personal satisfaction after 8 weeks of treatment. As expected, pain is higher during irradiation then during curettage or after irradiation. Twenty-seven lesions (22.5%) reported very high pain during irradiation and 54% of lesions reported pain after irradiation for an average time of 19 hours. Approximately 80% of the lesions reported light or no PTR; 90% of the patients showed a good or very good final satisfaction for the executed PDT. Overall, we found that pain generated by topical MAL-PDT causes a remarkable discomfort. Lesions on the head (scalp and forehead) or field cancerisations areas are risk factors for high pain or for a strong or medium PTR. P 53 Pyogenic granuloma treated with pulsed Nd:YAG (1064nm) laser - a case series C. Gex-Collet, P.H. Itin, K. Scherer. Klinik für Dermatologie, Universitätsspital Basel Introduction : Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a common, benign vascular tumour of the skin or mucosa. A variety of therapeutic approaches such as surgical excision, curettage, shave excision with or without cautery, cryotherapy, scleroytherapy, imiquimod or different laser therapies are available. Considering the benign character treatment options with a good “cost-effectiveness” especially in view of expenditure and scarring should be preferred. We present a series of patients treated with the pulsed Nd:YAG laser. Patients and methods : We present 15 patients with solitary PGs on the acres (7), on the face (4), the extremities (2) and on the trunk (1). All patients were treated with the pulsed Nd:YAG laser at 1064 nm with an average fluence of 120J/cm2, spotsize of 5-7mm and pulselenght of 20-30ms. Results: In 14/15 patients treatment with Nd:YAG-laser was successful. Repeated pulses were applied. On average, 1.6 treatment sessions were needed. Scarring has only been noted in one patient. Conclusion : A variety of options exist for the treatment of PG with more or less significant side effects. No single treatment can be reasonably applied for all sizes and locations. Nd:YAG laser therapy is a valid and valuable option in the therapeutic armament of PG. P 54 Life-threatening or organ impairing HenochSchönlein Purpura: Plasmapheresis may save lives and limit organ damage D. Donghi, U. Schanz, A. Fontana, R.M. Trüeb, L.E.French, J. Hafner Dermatologische Klinik Universitätsspital Zürich Adult onset Henoch-Schönlein purpura tends to become chronic-relapsing, however rarely leads to organ impairment, e.g. due to chronic glomerulonephritis. Bed rest, compression and non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs are usually sufficient to control the active phases. We report on two cases of adulthood Henoch-Schönlein Purpura with an unusually severe evolution. One patient required intense care treatment for hypovolemic shock caused by hemorrhagic pancolitis, the other had progressive and extremely extensive vasculitic leg ulcers. Both were refractory to common immunosuppression with systemic corticosteroids (oral and pulse) and additive steroid-sparing immunsuppressive drugs. Only after introduction of plasmapheresis both patients showed a dramatic improvement of the disease, with rapid and almost complete healing. Plasmapheresis is an exceptional therapeutic tool in the treatment of severe HSP, but the growing literature on its highly beneficial effect underlines the potential usefulness. P 55 Successful treatment of recalcitrant palmoplantar pustular psoriasis with sequential use of infliximab and adalimumab N. Yawalkar, R. Hunger Department of Dermatology, University hospital Bern Palmoplantar pustular psoriasis is characterized by recurrent crops of sterile intraepidermal pustules, erythema, fissuring, and scaling. The disease causes considerable physical disability and treatment regimes often remain unsatisfactory. Although some case reports indicate that TNF inhibitors may be helpful in the treatment of pustular psoriasis, other reports have also described paradoxical induction of pustular psoriasis by TNF inhibitors and have cautioned the use of these agents in PPP. We re41 Posters port a case of successful treatment of recalcitrant palmoplantar pustular psoriasis with two different TNF inhibitors in a 48-year-old woman unresponsive to other treatment modalities including different topical preparations, phototherapy, acitretin and methorexate. The patient also suffered from psoriatic arthritis. Rapid improvement was initially achieved after three infusions of infliximab. In correlation with clinical improvement histological and immunohistochemical analysis of skin lesions demonstrated a marked reduction of the proinflammatory infiltrate and TNF-α. After discontinuation of infliximab due to an infusion related reaction remission was obtained with treatment of adalimumab. This case demonstrate that infliximab may represent a useful therapeutic option to obtain rapid relief of recalcitrant palmoplantar psoriasis and that switching from infliximab to adalimumab is feasible. P 56 The mTOR inhibitor Rapamycin significantly improves facial angiofibroma lesions in a tuberous sclerosis patient F.L..Günther, A. Hofbauer, A. MarcolloPini, A. Corsenca, D. Andreas D. Kistler, L.E. French, R.P. Wüthrich, A.L. Serra Dermatologische Klinik Universitätsspital Zürich Tuberous sclerosis patients present with typical skin changes such as ash-leaf-like hypopigmented macules, Shagreen patch, molluscum pendulum, forehead fibrous plaque, confetti-like macules, Koenen tumors and facial angiofibromas Facial angiofibroma is probably the most vexing skin change for tuberous sclerosis patients. Here we report on a patient with tuberous sclerosis who underwent a renal transplantation. Initial immunosuppressive treatment with tacrolimus was later switched to rapamycin, a specific mTOR inhibitor with anti-angiogenic potential. Subsequently, we observed great improvement of facial angiofibroma following rapamycin introduction, suggesting a pivotal role for mTOR in the formation of angiofibroma. We present the first clinical case for the effect of rapamycin on facial angiofibroma as proof-of-concept in man. Our patient demonstrated an impressive reduction of facial angiofibroma in response to rapamycin treatment. The hamartin-tuberin complex regulates the activity of the downstream kinases mTOR, p70S6kinase, 4E-BP1 and ribosomal S6 proteins. mTOR pathway proteins are upregulated in TSC tumor cells. Rapamycin specifically inhibits mTOR and has therefore been identified as a potential therapeutic agent This case provides proof of concept that development of facial angiofibromas can be stopped and dramatically reversed under therapy 42 with the mTOR-inhibitor rapamycin. P 57 Facelift for reconstruction of large facial defects AUTEURS : B. Noel, R.G. Panizzon Service de dermatologie et vénéréologie, CHUV Reconstruction of large facial defects after excision of cutaneous malignancies may represent a challenge for dermatologic surgeons. We demonstrate that facelift can be used as an advancement flap for the reconstruction of large facial defects. The procedure is performed under local tumescent anesthesia. The redundant skin of the lower face is mobilized with extensive subcutaneous undermining. To improve skin mobilization and reduce suture tension it is important to mobilize the subcutaneous musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) which lies just deep to the subcutaneous fat. Release of mandibular, platysma and zygomatic ligaments give additional skin mobilization. The SMAS is plicated with a posterosuperior vector by means of two purse-string sutures firmly fixed to the zygomatic arch. Skin excess is excised to adjust the wound edges. Interrupted sutures are used for skin closure. Controlateral facelift can be performed for cosmetic reasons if necessary. Large cheek and temporal defects can be easily closed with this procedure. Excellent functional and cosmetic results are obtained. Basic Research P 60 NLR activity in contact hypersensitivity: a role of Langerhans cells and/or Keratinocytes H. Watanabe , E. Contassot, S. Roques, A. Caillon, L.E. French, O. Gaide Clinique de Dermatologie, Hôpital Cantonal Universitaire de Genève We have previously shown that contact hypersensitivity (CHS) due to dinitrochlorobenzene, is dependent on the inflammasome. We found that the importance of the inflammasome is mainly restricted to the sensitization phase of CHS. At this stage, Langerhans cells and bone marrow dendritic cells are thought to play a more important role than T, B, NK and Mast cells. We set to determine which cells require an inflammasome to prime T cells in CHS, using both in vitro studies on primary cells, and in vivo studies in mice. We found that neither Langerhans cells lines nor primary dendritic cells can activate IL-1b in response to contact sensitizers. However, both cells responded well to classic LPS containing the NLR activator muramyldipeptide. Conversely, keratinocytes secreted significant amounts of IL-1b in response to contact sensitizer but not LPS. Similarly, UV irradiation, another inflammasome-trigger, induced significant response in keratinocytes only. Taken together, these data may suggest that keratinocytes are the main target of CS. To further refine this question, we have generated chimeric mice that either contain an inflammasome-deficient bone-marrow or skin. CHS responses in these mice suggest that radio-resistant skin resident cells are the major source of inflammasome-driven IL-1b. P 61 Antimicrobial Proteins in Acne Inversa C. Schlapbach, N. Yawalkar, R.E. Hunger Department of Dermatology, University hospital Bern Acne inversa (hidradenits suppurativa) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the apocrine gland-bearing skin. Its pathogenesis is still poorly understood and the role of the immune system in the maintenance or even genesis of the disease is controversial. Recent studies showed varying expression of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) by the innate immune system in other chronic inflammatory diseases of the skin. We therefore investigated the expression of AMPs in acne inversa using real time PCR analysis and immunohistochemical staining. mRNA levels of AMPs were found to be significantly increased in acne inversa. This result was confirmed for psoriasin on the protein level, which was located in the epidermis. Interestingly, the protein expression of hBD-2 in the epidermis of acne inversa lesions was decreased, but a large number of macrophages expressing hBD-2 were found in the dermis. We conclude that AMPs are highly overexpressed in acne inversa lesions as compared to normal skin. However, the site of the major expression seems to depend on the particular AMP. Psoriasin is overexpressed in epidermal keratinocytes whereas hBD-2 seems to be produced mainly by dermal macrophages. P 62 Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma progression is associated with increased inflammation: Immunosuppression reduces CD123+ and FOXP+ cells B. Mühleisen, I. Petrov, T. Gächter, M. Kurrer, L. Schärer, R. Dummer, Lars E. French, Günther F.L. Hofbauer Dermatologische Klinik Universitätsspital Zürich The immune system fights atypical keratinocytes in the progression to squamous cell carcinoma of the skin (SCC). Drug-induced immunosuppression in organ transplant recipients (OTR) dramatically in- Posters creases cutaneous carcinogenesis 60- to 100-fold. We analyzed local inflammation in the paired biopsies of intraepithelial and invasive SCC in immunocompetent patients and OTRs. We studied peritumoral SCC inflammatory infiltrate assessing diameter, density and phenotype (CD3, 4, 8, FOXP3, CD123, STAT1) by immunohistochemistry. Immunocompetent patients’ lesions were compared to OTRs’ lesions. Considerable inflammation was observed in all intraepithelial SCC (inflammatory infiltrate diameter 2.80 mm ±2.21 immunocompetent pts, 2.15 mm ±2.95 OTRs). Inflammation was more pronounced in invasive SCC of immunocompetent patients (4.60 ±4.67 mm) and OTRs (3.30 ±5.90 mm) respectively (p<0.005). The density of peritumoral inflammatory infiltrates increased from intraepithelial to invasive SCC (p=0.005). Compared to immunocompetent patients, OTRs show a lower density of peritumoral inflammatory infiltrate (p=0.041). OTRs also show reduced CD3+ and CD8+ cell proportions in intraepithelial SCC (p=0.025 and 0.027, respectively). FOXP3+ cell proportions in OTRs’ invasive SCC are markedly diminished (p=0.048). CD123+ cells increase in the progression from intraepithelial to invasive SCC in immunocompetent patients (p=0.040). CD123+ cells are reduced in all SCC of OTRs (p=0.036). Intraepithelial SCC is accompanied by pronounced inflammation both in immunocompetent patients and OTRs. Invasive SCC is associated with further increased inflammation overall. Here, OTRs show compromised quantity and quality of inflammation, in particular reduced proportions of FOXP3+ regulatory T cells and CD123+ pDCs. This distinct inflammatory infiltrate may contribute to the increased cutaneous carcinogenesis and more aggressive behavior of SCC in OTRs. P 63 Increased expression of IL-12p70 and IL-23 by multiple dendritic cell and macrophage subsets in plaque psoriasis : A. Hassan, G. Tscharner, R. Hunger, N. Yawalkar Department of Dermatology, University hospital Bern Psoriasis is an immunologically mediated disease with T cells exhibiting a type 1 cytokine pattern in lesional skin. Previous reports indicate that various cytokines including IL-12 and IL-23 play a critical role in inducing and maintaining psoriatic skin lesions. However, the relative contributions of IL-12 and IL-23 in inducing inflammation and the cellular source of these cytokines have not been thoroughly analyzed so far. We sought to investigate the expression of IL-12p70 and IL-23 in plaque psoriasis and to characterize the dendritic cell (DC) and macrophage subsets responsible for the production of these cytokines. Skin biopsy specimens were obtained from 11 patients with plaque psoriasis. Immunohistochemistry using monoclonal antibodies targeting IL-12p70 and IL-23 was performed on serial cryostat sections using the avidin-biotin complex/alkaline phosphatase method. Colocalization of IL-12 and IL-23 with different dendritic cell (CD1a, CD11c) and macrophage cell (CD14, CD32) markers was performed using double immunofluorescence staining. Increased immunoreactivity for both IL-12p70 and lL-23 was detected in psoriatic skin lesions. IL-12p70 and lL-23 were readily detected in CD11c+, CD14+, CD32+ cells. IL-12p70 and to a lesser extent lL-23 were also found in some CD1a+ dendritic cells. An enhanced expression mainly of lL-23 was also observed in keratinocytes. In conclusion, IL-12p70 and lL-23 are highly expressed in psoriasis and both cytokines may play crucial role in the pathogenesis of this disease. Different DC and macrophage subsets are important sources of IL-12 and lL-23 which could be valuable therapeutic targets in the treatment of psoriasis. P 64 On the search for ligands and biological functions of LY6/PLAUR proteins in the epidermis B. Favre, L. Plantard, B. Riederer, D. Hohl Service de dermatologie et vénéréologie, CHUV Lymphocyte antigen 6/plasminogen activator urokinase receptor (LY6/PLAUR) proteins are extracellular protein-protein interaction modules. Our previous studies have demonstrated that several LY6/PLAUR proteins are expressed in the epidermis, suggesting that they play a role in skin homeostasis. To identify the ligand and biological function of the LY6/PLAUR LY6D, LYNX1B, LYPD2 and SLURP1 we tested several approaches. Tagged and secreted constructs of LY6/ PLAURs were expressed in transfected 293T cells. Conditioned medium was then used in binding experiments on keratinocytes in culture and human skin sections and co-immunoprecipitation experiments, but negative results indicated that anti-tag antibodies were not sensitive and specific enough for these applications. Therefore, we expressed recombinant LY6/PLAURs in bacteria and raised polyclonal antibodies against the purified proteins. Affinity columns were prepared to purify polyclonal antibodies and to isolate potential LY6/PLAUR ligands. Highly specific affinity-purified antibodies are presently used for analysis of the expression of LY6/PLAURs in human skin and co-immunoprecipitation studies. Since LYNX1B and SLURP1 are more abundant in the suprabasal layers of the epidermis than the basal layer, we investigated the effect of secreted LY6/PLAUR conditioned medium on differentiation of cultured keratinocytes. Western blotting analysis revealed a higher expression of keratins 1 and 10 in cells incubated with LYNX1B. P 65 Role of the TRAF interacting protein (TRIP) in keratinocyte proliferation S. Almeida, N. Zosso, S. Chevalley, D. Hohl, M. Huber Service de dermatologie et vénéréologie, CHUV We have recently shown that the tumor suppressor CYLD can interact with the TRAF interacting protein TRIP/TRAIP. TRIP has been identified as a RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase. TRIP can inhibit NF-kappaB activation mediated by TNFalpha. Moreover, TRIP knockout was associated with early embryonic lethality in mice. Our goal is to investigate the role of TRIP in epidermal homeostasis. Primary keratinocytes derived from human foreskin were cultured in low-calcium serum free medium and keratinocyte differentiation was induced after supplementation of medium with 1.2 mM calcium. We found that TRIP expression was significantly diminished four days after calcium-shift. Moreover, puromycinselectable lentivirus expressing small hairpin RNA (shRNA) directed against TRIP mRNA was used to knock-down TRIP in cultured primary keratinocytes. Preliminary evidence showed that TRIP knock-down was associated with arrest of proliferation. These results suggest that TRIP has an important role in the regulation of proliferation/ differentiation in keratinocytes. P 66 CD1d gene expression and function in human epidermal keratinocytes after UVB exposure. S. Ryser, M. Vihanto, D. Hohl, A.M. Moodycliffe Service de dermatologie et vénéréologie, CHUV Human epidermal keratinocytes (KC) are important components of the skin immune system. During inflammation, they produce a variety of cytokines that recruit inflammatory cells and skin-homing lymphocytes to the site of cutaneous tissue injury, and express class I and II MHC molecules that present antigen to T-cells. CD1d is a specific class I MHC-like molecule, which has the ability to present glycolipids to natural killer T (NKT) cells. In epidermal tissues, the activation of NKT cells by CD1dglycolipids has an important role in the regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses. Recent findings suggest in addition that CD1d could also function in a NKT-cell independent manner. In this study we investigated whether keratinocyte CD1d directly regulates the innate immune function of 43 Posters human KC in response to UVB exposure. We analyzed the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines in normal and CD1d-deficient KC after exposure to different doses of UVB radiation. Gain-of-function studies were also performed using lentiviral vectors expressing wt or mutant CD1d to assess its role in regulating cytokine production and as a pro-survival factor after UVB exposure. In summary this work will help to define the physiological role of CD1d in human skin and contribute to our understanding of the role of CD1d in the etiology of UV-induced skin pathologies. P 67 Skin ageing in Chinese women correlated to photoexposure M. Bigliardi-Qi1, F. Bonté2, V. Nollent2, Chen Zhiqiang3, P.L Bigliardi1 1. Departments of Dermatology, CHUV Hôpital, Lausanne, 2. LVMH recherché, St Jean de Braye, France 3. Chinese Academy of Medical Science, Institute of Dermatology, Nanjing, China There exist not many studies correlating the morphological and Immunohistochemical changes of ageing skin between photoexposed and notexposed skin of the same patient. There exist even less data In the asian population. For the production of skin care products It will be Important to have these Informations. Therefore we designed a clinical study to compare sun-exposed skin and unexposed skin in Chinese women from different age groups. The volunteers were recruited in the south of China, the region of Nanjing. All volunteers signed a confidential disclosure agreement and the volunteers had to fill out a questionnaire and photos were taken from the skin before the biopsies. A total of 30 healthy Chinese women, aged between 22 and 63 years were recruited and divided into young and old group (for each age group 6 volunteers 20-29 years/30-39 years/40-49 years/ 50-59 years and 60-69 years). Skin punch biopsies (3 mm) were taken from the anterior surface of the upper arm (protected area) and the posterior surface of the forearm (exposed area). The samples were fixed in formaldehyde and embedded in paraffin for further analysis. The epidermal and stratum corneum thickness at exposed area is thinner than unexposed area. The thickness increases with age and peak the highest between 40-60 and decrease afterwards This hypertrophy is probably a sign for physical protection of the skin from UV light. As expected, the sun-exposed skin expressed in general significantly more melanine than the non-exposed skin areas, however this overexpression of Melanin was only significantly increased in the age group 60-70. In addition, further investigation was conducted on caveolin-1, principle structural compo44 nent on caveolae. Caveolin-1 in epidermis is related with differentiation and in dermis related to senescence phenotype in fibroblasts. In epidermis, the caveolin-1 expression is increased after photoexposure in keratinocytes (especially for younger group), but decreased with age only in the photoexposed skin. In dermis, no significant changes in photoprotected zone were observed. However, in photoexposed zone, the caveolin-1 expression decreased with age. Caveolin-1 expression decreases with age in epidermis and dermis under UV influence. Therefore Caveolin-1 expression could be an indicator for UV-induced senescence in skin.The expression of different opioid receptors in skin was measured and showed interesting correlation to the abovementioned results. The opioid receptor expression is changed with age, but not with photoexposure. P 68 Comparison of the depigmenting properties of retinoic acid and retinaldehyde B. Kasraee, O. Sorg and JH Saurat Clinique de Dermatologie, Hôpital Cantonal Universitaire de Genève : We used various in vitro and in vivo models to compare the depigmenting activities of retinoic acid (RA) and retinaldehyde (RAL). In cultured murine B16 melanocytes, the non-cytotoxic concentration of 1 µM of RA and RAL decreased the melanin content by 61% and 77%, respectively. The genomic analysis by qPCR showed no modulation of the genes involved in melanin synthesis and melanosome maturation, such as tyrosinase, TRP1, dopachrome tautomerase, and pmel17. Topical application of RA and RAL 0.05% on mouse tail skin for 3 weeks decreased the melanin content by 50% and 80%, respectively, and decreased the density of active melanocytes by 50% and 75%, respectively, as shown by the ability of melanocytes to convert DOPA to melanin. When applied to the ears of black guinea pigs, 0.01% RAL decreased epidermal melanin by 50%; electron microscopy analysis showed that the density of melanosomes in keratinocytes was decreased by 62%, whereas the density of melanosomes in melanocytes was unchanged. Thus RAL, the natural precursor of RA, which is less irritating when applied on human skin, showed better depigmenting properties than RA in various models. This indicates that RAL should be considered as a key partner in topical depigmenting preparations. P 69 First identification of hydroxylated polychlorinated dibenzodioxins as metabolites of TCDD in human O. Sorg, M. Zennegg, P. Schmid , R. Fedosyuk, R. Valikhnovsky, V. Kniazevych, J.H. Saurat Clinique de Dermatologie, Hôpital Cantonal Universitaire de Genève We have performed various prospective investigations to follow-up the routes of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) elimination in a patient suffering from severe TCDD poisoning. Based on TCDD analyses of the known routes of elimination (faeces, skin lesions and sweat), only 40% of the amount estimated from the decrease of TCDD in the fat compartment over a period of one year could be recovered mainly in the faeces. In order to identify possible TCDD metabolites which may account for this difference, faeces and urine were analyzed using gas chromatography high resolution mass spectrometry (GC/HRMS). We identified a monohydroxy-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (OHTCDD) in faeces and in urine (where TCDD was likewise undetectable), and a monohydroxy-trichlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (OH-TriCDD) only in faeces. The total of the faecal concentrations of these two metabolites was similar to the faecal concentration of unmetabolized TCDD, and accounted for another 40% of the total TCDD elimination from the body. This is the first identification of TCDD metabolites in humans. If humans are indeed able to hydroxylate TCDD any intervention supporting such a pathway could decrease the long TCDD half-life, which represents the major problem in the treatment of patients intoxicated with TCDD. P 70 Identification of function of RAIDD in UVinduced skin tumor formation S. Roques, A. Caillon, J. Tschopp, O. Gaide Clinique de Dermatologie, Hôpital Cantonal Universitaire de Genève PIDD is a recently identified protein that forms a signaling complex triggered by UV-induced genotoxic stress. PIDD activation has been suggested to induce, sequentially, two opposing effects. It activates the protein RIP-1 and the survival factor NF-kB and then recruits and activates caspase-2 via the adaptor protein RAIDD and induces apoptosis. The balance between these life and death signals has been proposed to act as a DNA damage/repair checkpoint. However, this assumption is based on in vitro studies and little is known on the role of this signaling complex in vivo. As the skin is the pri- %5 . 2EMICADE¤n *ETZTZUGELASSENBEI 0SORIASISVULGARIS ÃBERZEUGENDE7IRKSAMKEIT VON0ATIENTENERREICHENEINEN0!3)NACH7OCHEN 3ICHTBARER%RFOLGSCHONNACHDERERSTEN)NFUSION 6ERBESSERUNGDER,EBENSQUALITÊT "EWIESENES3ICHERHEITSPROlL *AHRE%RFAHRUNGBEIàBER0ATIENTEN -AXIMALER4HERAPIEERFOLGDANK#OMPLIANCE 2EMICADE¤nFàREINNEUES,EBENBEI0SORIASISVULGARIS +52:&!#().&/2-!4)/. 2EMICADE)NFLIXIMABEINMONOKLONALER!NTIKÚRPERDERANDENMENSCHLICHEN4UMORNEKROSEFAKTORALPHA4.&ABINDET)NDIKATIONEN !KTIVE2HEUMATOIDE!RTHRITISZUR"EHANDLUNGIN+OMBINATIONMIT-ETHOTREXATBEI0ATIENTENDIEUNGENàGENDAUF-ETHOTREXATANGE SPROCHENHABENUNDBEI0ATIENTENMITSCHWERERAKTIVERUNDPROGRESSIVER%RKRANKUNGDIENICHTMIT-ETHOTREXATODERANDEREN$-!2$SVORBEHANDELTSIND-ORBUS"ECHTEREWANKYLOSIERENDE3PONDYLITISBEI0ATIENTENDIEAUFKONVENTIONELLE4HERAPIENICHTANGESPROCHENHABEN !KTIVE0SORIATISCHE!RTHRITISBEI0ATIENTENDEREN!NSPRECHENAUFANDEREKRANKHEITSMODIFIZIERENDE!RZNEIMITTELUNZUREICHENDWAR-ORBUS#ROHNBEI0ATIENTENMITSCHWERER+RANKHEITSAKTIVITËTMITUNDOHNE&ISTELBILDUNGDIEAUFEINEVOLLEUNDADËQUATEKONVENTIONELLE4HERAPIE NICHTANGESPROCHENHABEN#OLITISULCEROSABEI0ATIENTENDIEAUFEINEVOLLEUNDADËQUATEKONVENTIONELLE4HERAPIEUNGENàGENDANGESPROCHENHABENODERDIESENICHTTOLERIERTHABEN0SORIASISBEI0ATIENTENFàRDIEEINE0HOTOTHERAPIEODERETABLIERTESYSTEMISCHE"EHANDLUNGEN SICHALSUNANGEMESSENODERUNZUREICHENDERWIESENHABEN$OSIERUNG!NWENDUNG 2HEUMATOIDE!RTHRITIS$OSISMGKGIVIN7OCHEDANACHALLE7OCHEN2EMICADESOLLTEIN+OMBINATIONMIT-ETHOTREXATVERABREICHTWERDEN -ORBUS"ECHTEREW$OSIS MGKGIVIN7OCHEDANACHALLE7OCHEN 0SORIATISCHE!RTHRITIS$OSISMGKGIVIN7OCHEDANACHALLE7OCHEN -ORBUS#ROHN$OSISMGKGIVIN7OCHEDANACHALLE7OCHEN0ATIENTENMIT&ISTELBILDUNG$OSISMGKGIVIN7OCHE DANACHALLE7OCHEN#OLITISULCEROSA$OSISMGKGIVIN7OCHEDANACHALLE7OCHEN0SORIASIS$OSISMGKGIVIN7OCHEDANACHALLE7OCHEN+ONTRAINDIKATIONEN2EMICADEISTKONTRAINDIZIERTBEI0ATIENTENMIT3EPSISODERMITKLINISCH MANIFESTEN)NFEKTIONENUNDODER!BSZESSENSOWIEBEI0ATIENTENMIT(ERZINSUFFIZIENZ.9(!)))BIS)66ORSICHTSMASSNAHMEN6OR"EGINNDER"EHANDLUNGMIT2EMICADESIND0ATIENTENIM(INBLICKAUFAKTIVEODERINAKTIVELATENTE4UBERKULOSEZUUNTERSUCHEN$IE)NFUSIONSDAUER MUSSMINDESTENS3TUNDENBETRAGEN!USSERDEMMàSSENDIE0ATIENTENWËHRENDMINDESTENS3TUNDENACHDER)NFUSIONàBERWACHTWERDEN&ALLSAKUTEINFUSIONSBEDINGTE2EAKTIONENAUFTRETENMUSSDIE)NFUSIONUMGEHENDABGEBROCHENWERDEN-EDIKAMENTEZ"!NTIHISTAMINIKA +ORTIKOSTEROIDE!DRENALINUNDODER0ARACETAMOLEINE"EATMUNGSMASKEEIN4UBUSUNDANDERESGEEIGNETES-ATERIALZUR"EHANDLUNGDIESER2EAKTIONENMàSSENZURSOFORTIGEN6ERWENDUNGZUR6ERFàGUNGSTEHEN5NERWàNSCHTE7IRKUNGEN.EBENWIRKUNGENHATTENEINENLEICHTEN BISMËSSIGEN3CHWEREGRADDIEAMHËUFIGSTENBETROFFENEN/RGANSYSTEMEWAREN2ESPIRATIONSTRAKT(AUTUND(AUTANHANGSGEBILDEZUSËTZLICH)NFEKTIONEN$IEHËUFIGSTEN5RSACHENFàRDAS!BSETZENDER"EHANDLUNGWARENINFUSIONSBEDINGTE2EAKTIONENWIE$YSPNOEUND5RTIKARIA 0ACKUNGEN$URCHSTECHFLASCHEMITMG)NFLIXIMABFàREIN+ONZENTRATZUR(ERSTELLUNGEINER)NFUSIONSLÚSUNG ;!=!USFàHRLICHE!NGABENENTNEHMEN3IEBITTEDEM!RZNEIMITTEL+OMPENDIUMDER3CHWEIZINKLUSIVE3UPPLEMENTAODERRUFEN3IEUNSAN 2%&%2%.:%. 2EICH+ETAL)NmIXIMABINDUCTIONANDMAINTENANCETHERAPYFORMODERATETOSEVEREPSORIASISAPHASE)))MULTICENTREDOUBLEBLINDTRIAL,ANCET/CT 2EICH+ETAL)MPROVEMENTINQUALITYOFLIFEWITHINmIXIMABINDUCTIONANDMAINTENANCETHERAPYINPATIENTSWITHMODERATETOSEVEREPSORIASISARANDOMIZEDCONTROLLEDTRIAL"R*$ERMATOL*UN (SIA%#ETAL)NmIXIMAB2EMICADEFROMBENCHTOCLINICALPRACTICE!PARADIGMSHIFTINRHEUMATOLOGYPRACTICE!0,!2*OURNALOF2HEUMATOLOGY Posters mary organ affected by UV-induced DNA damage, we have generated RAIDD deficient mice in the hairless albinos mouse strain, in order to observe their response to UV treatment. Surprisingly, we found that, after 20 weeks of irradiation at 80mJ of UVB thrice a week, mice deficient for RAIDD had significantly less tumor (squamous cell carcinoma: 10.8 vs 1.8) then their littermate controls. Taken together, these results suggest that the RAIDD caspase-2 signaling pathway does not lead to apoptosis, which is consistent with the observation that apoptosis is not affected in caspase-2 deficient mice. Genetics P 72 Buschke-Ollendorff Syndrome: Genetics in a three generation family and a brief review of the literature B. Burger, J. Galambos, P. Itin Klinik für Dermatologie, Universitätsspital Basel : Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome (BOS, OMIM #166700) refers to the association of connective tissue nevi and osteopoikilosis (OPK), a benign sclerosing skeletal dysplasia, characterized by widespread foci of osteosclerotic trabeculae radiologically showing small rounded or linear opacities. BOS is a rare disorder (incidence is thought to be about 1 : 20’000), inherited in a pleiotropic autosomal dominant mode with variable penetrance and considerable phenotypic heterogeneity. Both OPK and connective tissue nevi may also occur as uncommon isolated familial conditions, and are also characterized by an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. The first case of BOS was described by Buschke and Ollendorff in 1928. In 2004 heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the LEMD3 gene were discovered in both BOS and OPK. In 2007 a mutation in the same gene was found in a family with isolated connective tissue nevi (without OPK). Since then 22 germline mutations in the LEMD3 gene were described causing different phenotypes with skin and/or bone involvement, i.e. OPK, BOS, and familial connective tissue nevi. We present a three generation BOS, caused by a novel mutation in the LEMD3 gene and discuss possible genotypephenotype correlations reviewing the described mutations in the literature. P 73 A new homozygous KIND1 mutation in a Swiss family with KS and recurrent actinic keratoses P. Itin, L. Bruckner-Tuderman, C. Has Klinik für Dermatologie, Universitätsspital Basel Kindler syndrome (KS) is a rare, autosomal recessive 46 skin fragility disorder characterized by blistering in infancy, followed by photosensitivity and progressive poikiloderma. In addition, progressive skin atrophy and premature aging, severe periodontal disease, colitis and occasionally carcinogenesis may occur. KS is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the KIND1 gene which encodes kindlin-1, an actin cytoskeleton-focal contact-associated protein predominantly expressed in keratinocytes. We report on a new Swiss family with KS. The index patient is a 62-year-old male patient with neonatal blistering, photosensitivity with poikiloderma, ectropion and conjunctivitis on both eyes, atrophic skin on hands and feet, numerous actinic precanceroses, severe periodontal disease and urethral stenosis. Recurrent precancerosis started ten years ago in sun exposed skin and was treated with cryosurgery, imiquimod and topical 5-fluorouracil. The patient has three sisters, one died soon after birth because of severe blistering disease. The second sister has also skin blistering associated with sclerodermiform lesions. The third sister is unaffected. Mutation analysis of the index patient showed a homozygous mutation in exon 3 of the KIND1 gene on codon 110 which results in an exchange of arginine and leads to a stop codon. This finding represents a new mutation in KIND1 which leads to a complete phenotype of KS. To the best of our knowledge, our patient is the oldest to be definitely diagnosed with KS by genetic analysis. Among the around 100 patients with known KIND1 mutations, 4 patients were reported to have SCC, or actinic keratoses. Further investigations will aim to the question why these patients develop actinic precancerous lesions and epithelial malignancy. P 74 An In Vitro Model for Epidermolytic Hyperkeratosis M. Obarzanek-Fojt, B. Favre, M. Huber, D. Hohl Service de dermatologie et vénéréologie, CHUV : Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK) is an autosomal-dominant skin disorder, which is characterized by erythroderma and blistering early in life and the development of hyperkeratotic lesions with age. Mutations responsible for EHK occur in keratin 1 (KRT1) or keratin 10 (KRT10) gene. To study the mechanism underlying the disease we established an in vitro model. For this purpose we used a lentivirus system for expression of a mutated form of KRT10. The missense mutation (R156H) in the rod domain of keratin 10, reported to cause a severe phenotype in patients, was introduced in KRT10. Primary keratinocytes infected with lentiviruses carrying wild type Myc-KRT10 or mutated Myc-KRT10 were cultured in serum free condition and differentiated in high Ca2+. Exogenous wild type keratin 10 formed in- termediate filaments with endogenous keratin 1. However keratinocytes expressing mutated keratin 10 showed collapse of intermediate filaments. To increase the severity of the phenotype, we applied 20 % stretch to cells growing on silica membranes. Alterations in stress response in keratinocytes, expressing wt-KRT10 versus mutated-KRT10 is being analysed. P 75 Ectodyplasin A as a treatment for XLHED, new lessons from the dog model O. Gaide, M.L. Casal, J.R. Lewis, E.A. Mauldin, A. Tardivel, K. Ingold, M. Favre, F. Paradies, S. Demotz, P. Schneider P Clinique de Dermatologie, Hôpital Cantonal Universitaire de Genève Loss of function mutations in ectodysplasin A (EDA) results in X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED). We have previously shown that a recombinant soluble form of EDA has the potential to revert the disease in mice. Maximal efficacy was achieved when the protein was administered to the developing embryo. This raised concern as to the feasibility of the treatment in humans, as regulations agencies limited a potential human trial to post-natal treatment. We therefore assessed the potency of the molecule in newborn dogs suffering from the disease. We found that, after treatment with EDA, significant normalization of lacrimation and resistance to eye and airway infections and improved sweating ability was achieved in all XLHED dogs. Importantly, whereas primary dentition was not salvaged by the treatment, adult dentition was corrected in four of five treated dogs. This suggest that post-natal treatment may positively impact on the most significant clinical aspect of the disease, suggesting that the therapeutic window is wider than expected from the mouse study. Hence, we provide further proof of concept necessary for a human trial and demonstrate an unexpected postnatal role of EDA in the development of secondary dentition.
