Importance: Acanthosis nigricans (AN) is commonly associated with impaired glucose tolerance, but early, severe presentation in individuals with normoglycemia may identify individuals at risk for systemic disease. While gain of function epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathogenic variants are associated with pulmonary cancers, their role in syndromic skin disease has not been clearly defined. This study identified activating EGFR variants that were associated with a syndrome characterized by generalized acquired keratoderma accentuated at flexural sites, woolly hair, palmoplantar keratoderma, and pulmonary disease with lung nodules, and the results suggest EGFR inhibitor therapeutic efficacy.
Objectives: To determine the genetic basis of early-onset, syndromic AN and assess response to pathogenesis-directed therapy.
Design, setting, and participants: Patients included 2 individuals with normoglycemia with early-onset periorificial hyperpigmentation and flexural skin thickening that subsequently generalized and 1 individual with an original diagnosis of widespread epidermal nevus. Participants underwent whole-exome sequencing and studies of affected skin and keratinocytes.
Main outcomes and measures: EGFR variant identification and assessment of pathway activation in lesional skin and keratinocytes, pulmonary function testing, lung imaging, and clinical response to EGFR inhibition.
Results: All 3 participants (aged 8, 18, and 17 years; 2 male individuals and 1 female individual) had an EGFR L858R variant, which arose as either de novo in generalized cases or a somatic variant in mosaic disease. Lesional skin and cultured keratinocytes demonstrated increased EGFR pathway activity, which was suppressed by pharmacologic inhibition in vitro. Systemic treatment with EGFR inhibitors was associated with skin disease regression, improvement in pulmonary disease, and resolution or reduction of the number of pulmonary nodules.
Conclusions and relevance: The findings of this case series study define a syndromic disorder with increased risk of pulmonary disease and lung nodules in patients with acquired, generalized AN that is associated with activating EGFR variants. Pulmonary nodules are precursor lesions for lung cancer, and treatment with EGFR inhibitions is associated with near-complete resolution of skin and pulmonary disease. Early recognition of syndromic EGFR AN will permit identification of individuals at risk for systemic disease who are candidates for EGFR-targeted therapy.

<p><strong>Importance: </strong>Accurate classification of dermatologic conditions using International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes is essential for research that uses large administrative datasets. Misclassification can be associated with biased epidemiologic estimates and misleading conclusions in population-based studies.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>To systematically identify and evaluate validated classification approaches for dermatologic conditions using ICD codes in US-based administrative, claims, or electronic health record data.</p><p><strong>Evidence review: </strong>A systematic review was conducted that was registered with PROSPERO (CRD420250654233) and reported according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A comprehensive search of Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and CINAHL was conducted for studies published from January 1, 2000, to October 21, 2025. The data were analyzed in October 2025. Eligible studies evaluated International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) or International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes used to identify dermatologic conditions in US-based datasets and reported at least 1 classification metric (eg, positive predictive value). To minimize selection and extraction bias, all screening and data extraction were performed independently by 2 reviewers, with discrepancies resolved by consensus.</p><p><strong>Findings: </strong>A total of 59 studies met inclusion criteria. Most reported positive predictive value, with few reporting sensitivity or specificity. Classification accuracy varied widely by condition and coding strategy. Studies included inflammatory and autoimmune conditions (eg, acne vulgaris, perioral dermatitis, psoriasis, palmoplantar pustulosis, hidradenitis suppurativa, atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, dermatomyositis, cutaneous lupus erythematosus, pyoderma gangrenosum, cutaneous sarcoidosis, pemphigus, pemphigoid, granuloma annulare, alopecia areata, and vitiligo), actinic keratosis and skin cancer, pigmentary and hair disorders (eg, androgenic alopecia, cicatricial alopecia, lichen planopilaris, and melasma), drug reactions (eg, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis), and infections (eg, herpes zoster, herpes simplex virus, and cellulitis or abscess). Classification algorithms that incorporated 2 or more codes, dermatologist attribution, or treatment/procedural data often achieved the highest accuracy. Conditions lacking validated algorithms included seborrheic dermatitis, rosacea, fungal infections, and specific alopecia subtypes.</p><p><strong>Conclusions and relevance: </strong>This systematic review provides a summary of the most accurate classification approaches to identify various dermatologic conditions in large administrative datasets. These results may inform study designs when using these datasets. In addition, some com
重要性:使用国际疾病分类(ICD)代码对皮肤病进行准确分类对于使用大型管理数据集的研究至关重要。在基于人群的研究中,错误分类可能与有偏见的流行病学估计和误导性结论有关。目的:系统地识别和评估在美国行政、索赔或电子健康记录数据中使用ICD代码的皮肤疾病的有效分类方法。证据回顾:系统回顾已在PROSPERO注册(CRD420250654233),并根据系统回顾和荟萃分析指南的首选报告项目进行报告。对2000年1月1日至2025年10月21日期间发表的研究进行了Ovid MEDLINE、Embase、Web of Science和CINAHL的综合检索。这些数据是在2025年10月进行分析的。符合条件的研究评估了用于识别美国数据集中皮肤病的国际疾病分类第九版(ICD-9)或国际疾病和相关健康问题统计分类第十版(ICD-10)代码,并报告了至少1个分类指标(例如,阳性预测值)。为了尽量减少选择和提取的偏倚,所有筛选和数据提取均由2位审稿人独立完成,差异通过共识解决。结果:共有59项研究符合纳入标准。大多数报告阳性预测值,很少报告敏感性或特异性。分类精度因条件和编码策略的不同而有很大差异。研究包括炎症和自身免疫性疾病(如:寻常痤疮、口周皮炎、银屑病、掌跖脓肿、化脓性汗腺炎、特应性皮炎、结节性痒疹、皮肌炎、皮肤红斑狼疮、坏疽性脓皮病、皮肤结节病、天疱疮、类天疱疮、环状肉芽肿、斑秃和白癜风)、光化性角化病和皮肤癌、色素和头发疾病(如:雄激素性脱发、瘢痕性脱发、扁平苔藓、和黄褐斑)、药物反应(如史蒂文斯-约翰逊综合征、中毒性表皮坏死松解)和感染(如带状疱疹、单纯疱疹病毒、蜂窝织炎或脓肿)。包含2个或更多代码、皮肤科医生归因或治疗/程序数据的分类算法通常达到最高的准确性。缺乏有效算法的条件包括脂溢性皮炎、酒渣鼻、真菌感染和特定的脱发亚型。结论和相关性:本系统综述总结了在大型管理数据集中识别各种皮肤病的最准确分类方法。当使用这些数据集时,这些结果可以为研究设计提供信息。此外,一些常见情况缺乏经过验证的分类方法,这突出了未来研究的重要领域。随着行政和电子健康记录数据越来越多地支持皮肤病学研究,使用严格验证的算法对于产生可信的发现至关重要。
