Cidofovir gel as treatment of follicular spicules in multiple myeloma.
IMPORTANCE The cause of follicular spicules in multiple myeloma (MM) is not known. OBSERVATIONS We present a case of follicular spicules in a patient with MM, which is very reminiscent of trichodysplasia spinulosa caused by a polyomavirus. No trichodysplasia spinulosa-associated polyomavirus could be isolated from the skin lesions; however, the spicules were positive for Merkel cell carcinoma...

TS: trichodysplasia spinulosa TSPyV: trichodysplasia spinulosa polyomavirus INTRODUCTION Solid organ transplant patients are susceptible to rare and unusual dermatoses as a result of their chronic immunosuppression. Trichodysplasia spinulosa (TS) is one such rare clinical entity observed predominantly in immunosuppressed patients with a history of either solid organ transplantation on immunosup...
متن کاملRapid Detection of Trichodysplasia Spinulosa-Associated Polyomavirus in Skin Biopsy Specimen
Trichodysplasia spinulosa-associated polyomavirus (TSV) is responsible for a rare skin cancer. Using metagenomic approaches, we determined the complete genome sequence of a TSV first detected in Brazil in spicules of an immunocompromised patient suspected to have trichodysplasia spinulosa.
متن کاملTrichodysplasia spinulosa: A rare complication of immunosuppression
TS: trichodysplasia spinulosa TSPyV: TS-associated polyoma virus INTRODUCTION Trichodysplasia spinulosa (TS) is a recently described rare disease of immunosuppressed patients characterized by folliculocentric papules and keratin spicules. The condition is highly associated with the TS-associated polyomavirus (TSPyV); however, the causal mechanism remains undiscovered. Currently, there is a dear...
متن کاملDiscovery of a New Human Polyomavirus Associated with Trichodysplasia Spinulosa in an Immunocompromized Patient
The Polyomaviridae constitute a family of small DNA viruses infecting a variety of hosts. In humans, polyomaviruses can cause infections of the central nervous system, urinary tract, skin, and possibly the respiratory tract. Here we report the identification of a new human polyomavirus in plucked facial spines of a heart transplant patient with trichodysplasia spinulosa, a rare skin disease exc...
