Nevus Psiloliparus
Nevus psiloliparus is a cutaneous condition, a rare scalp anomaly characterized by a variable degree of alopecia and an excessive amount of adipose tissue. It is the main hallmark of encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL), otherwise known as Haberland syndrome Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL), is a rare condition primarily affecting the brain, eyes, and skin of the head and face. It is characterized by unilateral subcutaneous and intracranial lipomas, alopecia, unilateral porencephalic cysts ....

Encephalocraniocutaneous Lipomatosis
Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL), is a rare condition primarily affecting the brain, eyes, and skin of the head and face. It is characterized by unilateral subcutaneous and intracranial lipomas, alopecia, unilateral porencephalic cysts, epibulbar choristoma and other ophthalmic abnormalities. This condition is described as sporadic because it occurs in people without a history of the disorder in their family. It was named after Haberland and Perou who first described it. Signs and Symptoms Eighty to ninety percent of those with encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis are unable to produce and keep fat tissue and have multiple lipomas. Other types of growths, including jaw tumours, may also occur. Approximately two thirds of individuals with Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis have intracranial and/or intraspinal lipomas. They also have an increased risk of developing a form of brain cancer known as a glioma. Other neurological issues that can occur include seizure ...

Congenital Erosive And Vesicular Dermatosis
Congenital erosive and vesicular dermatosis is a cutaneous condition characterized by generalized erosions, vesicles, crusting and ‘scalded skin-like’ erythematous areas affecting up to 75% of the body surface area. See also * Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy is a very rare oral cavity tumor that is seen in patients usually at or around birth. It must be removed to be cured.

List Of Cutaneous Conditions
Many skin conditions affect the human integumentary system—the organ system covering the entire surface of the body and composed of skin, hair, nails, and related muscle and glands. The major function of this system is as a barrier against the external environment. The skin weighs an average of four kilograms, covers an area of two square metres, and is made of three distinct layers: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. The two main types of human skin are: glabrous skin, the hairless skin on the palms and soles (also referred to as the "palmoplantar" surfaces), and hair-bearing skin.Burns, Tony; ''et al''. (2006) ''Rook's Textbook of Dermatology CD-ROM''. Wiley-Blackwell. . Within the latter type, the hairs occur in structures called pilosebaceous units, each with hair follicle, sebaceous gland, and associated arrector pili muscle. In the embryo, the epidermis, hair, and glands form from the ectoderm, which is chemically influenced by the underlying meso ...
