Papillon Lefevre Syndrome

Presentation

In the dermatological exam, the patient presented accentuated palmoplantar hyperkeratosis on the hands and feet (Figure 1). [anaisdedermatologia.org.br]

Here, we are presenting an elaborate review of PLS, its etiopathogenesis, clinical presentation, and management options. Original paper can be viewed here: http://www.dovepress.com/papillonndas... [youtube.com]

  • Abdominal Mass

    A few days before admission, the mother noted an abdominal mass associated with right upper quadrant pain. The pain, which was dull, achy, intermittent, but not radiating, was not associated with vomiting, diarrhea, or jaundice. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

Jaw & Teeth

  • Dental Caries

    (Courtesy of Sancy Leachman, MD) Other findings include severe gingival inflammation where the gingiva appears bright red and edematous and bleeds easily, dental caries, dysplastic and malformed teeth (Figure 3), degeneration of the structures that surround [dermatologyadvisor.com]

    He was also referred to dental services for dental caries and delayed teething (Figure 3), and to an otolaryngologist to rule out nasal polyps. [cureus.com]

    The 9-year-old patient, permanently under hospital care, came to the Department of Paediatric Dentistry due to the periodontitis and dental caries of the primary teeth. [termedia.pl]

    hyperkeratosis periodontal disease Descripción : The connection between palmar plantar hyperkeratosis and severe periodontal disease was first reported in 1924 by Papillon and Lefevre. [189.203.43.34]

  • Palmoplantar Keratosis

    Palmoplantar keratosis usually develops in PLS patients by 3 years of age and varies from mild scaly skin to overt hyperkeratosis. Clinically, it is the periodontitis that distinguishes PLS from other forms of palmoplantar keratosis. [preventiongenetics.com]

    Patients affected with autosomal dominant palmoplantar keratosis often present with malignancies of the esophagus and/or other malignancies (lymphomas, pancreas, breast, etc.). [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]

    The palmoplantar keratotic phenotype vary from mild psoriasiform scaly skin to overt hyperkeratosis. Keratosis also affects other sites such as elbows and knees. [uniprot.org]

  • Skin Disease

    Keywords: Cathepsin C gene, Papillon-Lefevre syndrome, periodontitis INTRODUCTION Papillon-Lefevre syndrome belongs to a heterogeneous group of skin diseases that are characterized by hyperkeratosis of palms and soles. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    […] for comprehensive understanding of this rare disease by dermatological clinician. [journals.lww.com]

    The role of cathepsin C in the development of dermatological conditions in PLS is still unclear and may explain the nonsignificant correlation between the severity of skin disease and severity of oral infection [5, 7-9]. [karger.com]

    Some affected individuals will only have mild periodontal disease, and/or will have later onset of periodontal disease. Affected individuals may have frequently recurring, pus producing (pyogenic) skin infections. [rarediseases.org]

  • Increased Sweating

    Increased sweating ( hyperhidrosis ) is quite common and there is a tendency to fungal and bacterial infections of the feet. [dermnetnz.org]

    Be alert for thickening, dryness and fissuring of palms and soles, aggravation during winter, loosening followed by loss of deciduous teeth by the age of 5, loss of permenant teeth by the age of 17 if not treated, excess perspiration, increased sweating [dermatologyadvisor.com]

  • Skin Plaque

    On examination, he was found to have an erythematous hyperkeratotic skin plaques and papules with scales over the planter and palmar aspect of both hands with similar lesions observed on both feet, legs, scalp, and ears with nail pitting. [cureus.com]

Workup

The initial workup by a private physician included a complete blood count with differentials, liver function test, coagulation profile, urinalysis, and blood chemistry. All were normal. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

Treatment

At the end of the treatment, the authors reported having achieved success with orthodontic treatment [1414 Lux CJ, Kugel B, Komposch G, Pohl S, Eickholz P. Orthodontic treatment in a patient with papillon-lefèvre syndrome. [scielo.br]

Management and treatment Treatment is based on oral retinoids which attenuate the palmoplantar keratoderma and slow the alveolar bone lysis. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Orthodontic treatment in periodontal compromised cases is most challenging, light forces and controlled mechanics are important for adjunctive orthodontic treatment. [jdrntruhs.org]

Numerous treatment regimens for the periodontal disease seen in PLS can be found in the literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis

Prognosis Despite meticulous dental care, all patients eventually become edentulous at the beginning of adulthood. Life expectancy is normal. Last updated: 11/1/2012 [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

COMMON Features of the Disorder Sparse hair Blisters on soles of feet/palms of hand (palmoplantar keratosis) Skin infections Premature tooth loss (periodontitis) Inflammation around teeth Nail abnormalities PROGNOSIS Individuals with the disorder lose [evolvegene.com]

Etiology

Cathepsin C (CTSC) gene mutations are etiologic for PLS. The resultant loss of CTSC function is responsible for the severe periodontal destruction seen clinically. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Two cases of Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome, a rare hereditary affection of unknown etiology, whose clinical signs are hyperkeratosis palmoplantaris and parodontitis, are described. [moh-it.pure.elsevier.com]

Etiology of Periodontal Diseases (Part 4) provides a more comprehensive background in periodontal anatomy, physiology, and pathogenesis. [books.google.com]

The etiology of PLS is multifactorial with genetic, immunological, and microbial factors playing a role in etiopathogenesis. [hindawi.com]

Notwithstanding that many etiologic factors like genetic mutations, bacterial agents, immunologic changes have been identified, the pathogenesis has not been fully understood. [content.sciendo.com]

Epidemiology

Epidemiology The prevalence is estimated between 1/250,000 and 1/1,000,000 individuals. The male to female ratio is 1:1. PLS is found in all ethnic groups. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Summary Epidemiology The prevalence is estimated between 1/250,000 and 1/1,000,000 individuals. The male to female ratio is 1:1. PLS is found in all ethnic groups. [orpha.net]

Pathophysiology Cathepsin C is a lysosomal protease which processes and activates several granule serine proteases critical to immune and inflammatory responses of myeloid and lymphoid cells. [dermatologyadvisor.com]

The cause and pathophysiology of the disorder involve several factors, including genetic, immunological, and microbial factors. [cureus.com]

Oral isotretinoin, discovered in the late 1960s, affects all the underlying pathophysiologic processes of acne and would be the ideal treatment if it did not have significant side effects. (2,9) During oral isotretinoin therapy, sebum production is reduced [de.slideshare.net]
