It is classified according to Freire-Maia and Pinheiro into 2 groups. Group A in which the defect is in at least 2 of the epidermal appendages plus or minus other malformations. Group B in which the defect is in at least one classical epidermal appendages plus at least another ectodermal (5) defect, e.g mammary gland, subcutaneous glands, central nervous system, peripheral nerves, and sensory epithelium of the eye, ears and pituitary gland. In group A, there are 11 sub groups, as following 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-3, 2-4,. .. etc. In group B, there are 4 sub groups, as following, 1-5, 2-5, 3-5 and 4-5. Till now there are more than 170 syndromes of ectodermal dysplasias. Oculotrichdysplasia (OTD) is an extremely rare autosomal recessive ectodermal dysplasia. It is classified in group A (sub type 1-2-3) ectodermal dysplasia. We report an 11-year-old boy who presented with history of total absence of scalp hair since birth. No history of absent sweating. He is known to have retinitis pigmentosa, glucoma and catarct. Examination revealed dysmorphic facial features, absence of scalp hair, eyelashes, and eyebrows, nail dystophy and anodentia Disclosure not available at press time.

With 60.8 million inhabitants, it is the fifth most populous country in Europe [1]. It has been ranked as the world's 25th most-developed country and it Quality-of-life Index was ranked in the world's top ten in 2005. Italy enjoys a very high standard of living and has a high public education level [1]. It ranks as having the world's 2nd best healthcare system, and the world's 3rd best healthcare performance. Italy had the 12th highest worldwide life expectancy in 2010 [1]. Many of the important dermatology educational resources and periodicals are based in Italy. In Table I [2-16], we listed selected eponyms in dermatology literature linked to Italy.

Latin America has an area of approximately 21,069,500 km 2 , almost 3.9% of the Earth's surface or 14.1% of its land surface area. As of 2010, its population was estimated at more than 590 million [1]. Many medical conditions derive their names from either Greek or Latin. In this manuscript, we are reviewing, some selected examples of eponyms, in dermatology literature, linked to the Latin America (Tabl. I) [2-14]. We want also to point out that many scientists in other parts of the world and particularly in USA, for whom medical diseases were eponymously named, were originated from latin America. Just an example is, Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS), which is a dominant autosomal disorder characterized

At 3.79 million square miles (9.83 million km 2) and with around 315 million people, the United States is the third-or fourthlargest country by total area and the third-largest by both land area and population [1]. The U.S. is a global leader in medical innovation. America solely developed or contributed significantly to 9 of the top 10 most important medical innovations since 1975 as ranked by a 2001 poll of physicians,. Since 1966 Americans have received more Nobel Prizes in Medicine than the rest of the world combined [1]. Large numbers of the eponyms we use currently, in dermatology are originated from USA, and many new conditions in dermatology are being named after scientists from USA. In Table I, we selected some examples of eponyms in dermatology literature which are linked to USA [2-23].

This condition was later known as Secretan's disease or Secretan's syndrome. This report discusses Henri Secretan and the syndrome that bears his name.

The usual etiologic agents associated with FDE are phenazones, sulfonamides, and tetracyclines. Often the causative agent is made out from the patients history; in some cases, oral challenge or topical testing may be required. The pathophysiology of FDE is unclear. Cell-mediated, rather than humoral immunity is thought to be involved. Herein we report a case of FDE in a daughter and father.

The anatomic location of cutaneous lesions associated with friction from praying varies based on religious practice. Allergic contact dermatitis from products and substances commonly used in worshipping also vary by religion. Some religious practices may render individuals prone to infections that manifest on the skin. Tattoos of godly figures also may adorn the body. Religious practices also have been implicated in cases of urticaria, köbnerization, and leukoderma. This article reviews the clinical presentation of some of the most common cutaneous changes that occur in individuals who practice the following religions: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Sikhism.

The examination disclosed that an extensive facial telangiectasia had been mistaken for black discoloration as it almost merged with his dark complexion. In addition poikiloderma was expressed on the chest. There was no scarring of hands and feet, while the teeth appeared normal. A careful enquiry revealed that he experienced blisters and photosensitivity in early childhood. Two of his younger brothers had similar symptoms, and one of them had died in early childhood. The family members were not available for examination as they live in Pakistan. He had no complaints for many years. Two months earlier he had an injury on one hand that took a month to heal.

This research demonstrates two different countries in two different continents, Southeast Asia where Malaysia is located and North America where United States of America is situated. In addition, this research will be comparing these two countries' culture, race and gender in the workforce.
