The pathogenesis of lichenoid drug eruption is postulated to be due to persistent activation of CD8 T lymphocytes against epidermal cells. There were only a few cases of Amlodipine-induced lichenoid drug eruption reported in literature. Due to the rare occurrence, this disease might be overlooked and lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment. It is vital for the attending medical practitioner to be able to diagnose this disease as amlodipine was found to be the most utilised medication used in Malaysia according to the latest Malaysian Statistics on Medicine 2015-2016.We report a rare case of a 60-year-old Chinese gentleman who presented with predominant oral lesions as well as cutaneous lesions after initiation of amlodipine. A diagnosis of amlodipine-induced lichenoid drug eruption was made after thorough assessment and evaluation.
Desquamative Gingivitis as the First Clinical Sign of Pemphigus Vulgaris: A Case Report

It is predominantly a manifestation of several vesiculobullous diseases. Delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis often led to disease progression. Pemphigus vulgaris is a chronic, life-threatening autoimmune disease resulting in blistering of the mucosa and skin. Oral lesions normally preceded skin lesions. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent involvement of the skin, as the treatment and prognosis varies with extraoral involvement. Clinical, histopathological examination and direct immunofluorescent are necessary for the diagnosis of pemphigus vulgaris. Treatment of desquamative gingivitis involves improving oral hygiene, reduce irritation to the lesions and specific therapy to the underlying disease. This paper describes a case of a patient w

It is usually presented as a superficial, solitary, firm mass which is asymptomatic and slowly growing. It accounts for about 0.2% of all routine skin specimens and may poses a diagnostic challenge as it may resemble other common benign lesions found in the head and neck region. We report a case of a 33-year old men presented to us with a pilomatrixoma of the right cheek, surgical management and histological findings. www.adum.edu.my

Sialolithiasis is an obstructive salivary gland disease which is also uncommon in the parotid salivary gland. The existing literature has documented the occurrence of multiple calcifications within the parenchyma of the parotid glands in patients with Sjorgren’s syndrome. This report describes the first case of right parotid duct solitary sialolith formation in a 64 year old female patient with Sjorgren’s syndrome. Whether the salivary stone encountered in this case represents an oral manifestation of Sjorgren’s syndrome or is just a co-incidental finding was discussed.
