Extractions: British Journal of Dermatology 2003 Excerpt SIR , Malignant atrophic papulosis (Degos' disease) is a rare disorder of unknown cause, which is characterized by thrombotic vasculopathy affecting the skin, gastrointestinal tract, central nervous system, and occasionally other organs. It is often lethal because of gastrointestinal involvement. The cutaneous lesions consist of characteristic papules with porcelain-white central atrophy and telangiectatic borders. Similar lesions are seen on the serosal surface of the gastrointestinal tract; perforation of the tract is the most frequent cause of death. Treatments that have been tried for this disorder include antiplatelet therapy (aspirin and dipyridamole), 1,2 fibrinolytic therapy (phenformin and ethyloestrenol), 3 anisoylated plasminogen streptokinase activator and urokinase. 4 However, there is no really satisfactory treatment. 4 We describe a woman with this disorder whose skin lesions and gastrointestinal symptoms were treated successfully with nicotine patches.

Extractions: Background This rare disease is important because a skin biopsy may be the first clue to the diagnosis. Patients classically develop multiple skin papules that evolve to have a dimpled appearance with a porcelain white center. This is the clue to the underlying disease which can affect the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system and may lead to death. The skin biopsy places the pathologist at the center of the diagnostic evaluation. OUTLINE Epidemiology Disease Associations Pathogenesis Laboratory/Radiologic/Other Diagnostic Testing ...

Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Degos disease is a rare systemic disorder that affects small and medium sized arteries, causing them to become blocked (occlusive arteriopathy). Degos disease usually progresses through two stages. During the first stage, characteristic skin lesions appear that may last for a period of time ranging from weeks to years. The second stage of Degos disease is most frequently characterized by lesions in the small intestine, but other organs may also be affected. Major symptoms may include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and/or weight loss. Intestinal lesions may break through the wall of the bowel (perforation), a potentially life-threatening complication. The exact cause of Degos disease is unknown. Digestive Disease National Coalition
