Macrocystic lymphatic malformations
(cystic hygroma) are associated with?
Down’s syndrome and Turner’s syndrome. Also Noonan and achondroplasia.
Cystic hygroma’s are congenital lesions resulting from abnormal lymphatic development during embryogenesis.
Macrocystic lymphatic malformations
(cystic hygroma) usually present at birth (60%) on what location?
Head, neck, and axilla/chest, favoring left side.
What markers are positive in macrocystic lymphatic malformations, i.e. cystic hygroma’s?
D2-40 (podoplanin) and LYVE-1 positive.
Complications include: Pleural/abdominal/pericardial effusions, lymphedema, cardiac failure, and respiratory failure
Another name for disappearing bone disease?
Gorham-Stout
Congenital lymphedema (Nonne-Milroy syndrome) is most commonly in females is due to mutations in?
FLT4 gene
AD inheritance; due to loss-of-function mutations in FLT4 gene (encodes VEGFR3, which is required for lymphatic development)
Congenital lymphedema, painless pitting edema of bilateral lower extremities, is associated with?
hydrocele, prominent veins, and
upslanting toenails
What is the mutation in the peripubertal (10-30 yrs) form of congenital lymphedema?
FOXC2 mutation. AD inheritance of Lymphedema-distichiasis syndrome. Extra eyelashes = distichiasis
What factors exacerbate AVM’s?
Pregnancy, puberty, trauma.
Difference between Klippel–Trénaunay syndrome (KTS) and Parkes-Weber syndrome (PWS)?
KTS has slow-flow malformations vs. PWS has multiple fast-flow AVMs and shunts
Associations of heart and bone in Parkes-Weber syndrome (PWS)?
High-output cardiac failure can occur in infancy or later in life and the development of lytic bone lesions can be seen.
What is Cobb syndrome (cutaneomeningospinal angiomatosis)?
Spinal hemangioma or AVM (most common) + cutaneous AVM or CM (depending on source cited) of the same metamere of the torso dx: MRI
Bonnet-Dechaume-Blanc syndrome?
Is basically a facial metameric AVM extending to the brain/orbit.
Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita, present at birth as reticulated erythematous-violaceous vascular network usually on lower extremities and unilateral.
What is Adams-Oliver syndrome?
Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita + aplasia cutis + transverse limb defects.
Fabry’s disease is secondary to deficiency in?
alpha-galactosidase (GLA gene mutation)
AKA Angiokeratoma corporis diffusum
Fabry’s disease features?
1- Pubertal males develop thousands of angiokeratomas in “bathing trunk” distribution between umbilicus and knees
2- “Whorl-like” corneal opacities
3- Posterior capsular cataracts
What is “Fabry’s crisis”?
often the initial manifestation in early childhood; Episodic +/- chronic paresthesias, often triggered by stress, temperature or fatigue; can develop peripheral neuropathy
Heart and kidney dysfunction in Fabry’s?
■ Cardiac rhythm/conduction abnormalities, cardiomegaly, CHF, CVAs, angina/myocardial infarction (MI), peripheral edema, and hypertension
■ Renal destruction → polyuria, hematuria, and renal failure
Urinalysis typically reveals birefringent lipid globules (“Maltese crosses”)
Tx of Fabry’s?
Recombinant enzyme therapy is the treatment of choice, and can reverse/delay cardiac, renal, and neurologic complications
What is Fucosidosis?
AR lysosomal storage disease as a result of a mutation/deficiency in a-L fucosidase
Inheritance of Pachyonychia congenita?
AD mutations in KRT6A, KRT6B, KRT16, and KRT17 genes
Unilateral nevoid telangiectasia. Acquired w/ puberty, pregnancy, estrogen therapy or liver disease
Angioma serpiginosum. Pinpoint red to violaceous papules usually in a serpiginous pattern. May be purpuric, usually on lower extremities. More common in women.
Generalized essential telangiectasia. Macular, retiform, or linear. may coalesce to form large patches begins on lower legs and spreads proximally. More common in females.
