Abstract
Background and Aim: Psoriasis is a chronic papulosquamous
disorder, which affects about 2% of the population. Psoriasis is relatively
common in childhood: more than 10% of cases start before the age of 10. Tha aim
of this study was to compare the clinical characteristics between pediatric-onset
and adult-onset psoriasis in Iranian patients.
Methods: In 2006 and 2007, clinical data were collected
from all patients with psoriasis diagnosis referred to Razi Hospital. They were
categorized into two groups: pediatric-onset psoriasis patients and adult-onset
psoriasis patients. Clinical variables such as number of patients, gender, age
of onset, family history, and stress as a precipitating factor, the first site
of involvement, clinical type and involved sites were compared between the two
group.
Results: From total of 162 patients, 50 patients (33.2%)
were considered as pediatric-onset group. The percentage of males in the
pediatric-onset group was 48% compared with 58.9% in the adult-onset group. In
the pediatric-onset group positive family history was 20% and in the
adult-onset group was 12.5%. Stress as a precipitating factor was nearly the
same in both groups. Plaque type psoriasis was the most common clinical
presentation and the head and neck was the most common site of involvement in
both groups.
Conclusion: Our findings, similar to previous studies
showed that the involvement of female gender, family history and the onset of
psoriasis on the scalp in children were more than adults.

Abstract
Ichthyosis is defined as a group of diseases with keratinization disorder and diffuse scaling with highly variable degree of involvement. According to our knowledge, coincidence of ichthyosis and dermatophytosis, which both are very common disorders, is a very rare event. We report a young man with congenital ichthyosis that histological analysis of his skin biopsies and direct smear revealed PAS positive fungi. He had used topical steroids for generalized scaling erythematous patches and plaques for long time.

Abstract
Urticaria is a common and challenging skin disorder. Its diagnosis and treatment is not limited to the field of dermatology. General physicians, and allergologists and clinical immunologists are also commonly involved in the management of urticaria patients.
One of the missions of the Iranian Society of Dermatology is to develop strategies to provide the best possible management for patients suffering dermatological conditions. To accomplish this mission, the Society assigned a committee to search and critically appraise the recent research evidence and available guidelines to develop a clinical practice guideline concerning diagnosis and treatment of urticaria.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Psoriasis is a common, chronic and inflammatory skin disease. It has been determined that obesity may be associated with this disease. So, the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between obesity and severity of psoriasis in patients referred to dermatology clinic of Razi Hospital.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was done on 106 patients with plaque type psoriasis who had not received any systemic treatment .The demographic characteristics such as gender, age, BMI, severity of disease (PASI), waist, and waist to hip ratio were recorded.
Results: 42% of the patients had BMI of 25-30 (over weight) and 32% higher than 30 (obese). The mean BMI in women (30.2±5.6) was significantly higher than men (27.6±4.7) (P=0.02). BMI was correlated to disease severity (PASI) , but it was not significant (a=0.143, P=0.114)
Conclusion: Although we did not find any significant correlation between severity of disease and BMI, but the association between severity of disease and high BMI were concluded.

Abstract
Nowadays, in modern medicine, there is a great tendency to use non invasive or less invasive diagnostic and therapeutic methods with high precision and effectiveness. This is also true about diagnosis and treatment of non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs), that the prototypes are basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) which also considered as the most common human cancers. Therefore, in this review, we present the value and diagnostic features of the dermoscopy (as an emerging and growing non-invasive dermatological evaluation tool) for approaching to NMSC. It is hoped that this study will be an infrastructure for the ever-increasing use of dermoscopy in evaluation of skin cancers, especially NMSCs.

Abstract
Introductio: Sarcoidosis is a chronic multi-organ disease. Scar sarcoidosis is a rare but specific cutaneous presentation. Most patients with scar sarcoidosis suffer from systemic involvement especially lung disease.
Case Report: We present here a 77 year-old-woman with sarcoidal infiltration in burn scars that she had acquired 30 years ago. She was treated with systemic steroids which led to regression of cutaneous lesions.
Conclusion: Scar sarcoidosis should be suspected in occurrence of new lesions in burn scars
