Phakomatosis pigmentovascularis (PPV) is a rare syndrome characterized by simultaneous presence of capillary malformation and pigmentary nevi with or without systemic manifestations. Sturge–Weber syndrome (SWS) comprises meningofacial angiomatosis with cerebral calcification. It occurs sporadically with an incidence of 1 in 50,000. We report a rare association of PPV Type IIb and SWS in a 14-year-old girl who developed severe pain and erythema over the lesions following COVID-19 vaccination.

Maffucci syndrome is an extremely rare, sporadic disorder that primarily affects bone and skin. It is characterized by multiple enchondromas, especially in the bones of hands and feet, with cutaneous hemangiomas. Treatment consists of orthopedic and surgical intervention to minimize deformities and for cosmetic purposes. Careful surveillance for both skeletal and non-skeletal malignancies is needed. We report here a case of Maffucci syndrome in a 16-year-old girl.

Psoriasis is a common chronically relapsing inflammatory disorder with cutaneous and rheumatologic manifestations characterized by an increase in risk of cardiovascular diseases. Chronic inflammation in psoriatic patients predisposes them to cardiovascular morbidity. This study was done to compare the change in cardiovascular risk factors who are taking apremilast and methotrexate. The aims of this study were as follows: (1) To evaluate the effect on biochemical parameters pertaining to cardiovascular risk in psoriasis patients after 12 weeks of treatment with apremilast in comparison with methotrexate. (2) To compare the efficacy of methotrexate with apremilast in treating chronic plaque psoriasis. This hospital-based prospective cohort study included 40 newly diagnosed cases of psoriasis who were divided into two groups – group A (receiving methotrexate) and group B (receiving apremilast) and were assessed at baseline and after 12 weeks. The outcome was assessed on the basis of psoriasis area and severity index score and the biochemical parameters. We found a significant decrease in triglycerides, high sensitivity C-reactive protein, and low-density lipoprotein levels in psoriasis patients taking methotrexate and high-density lipoprotein in the apremilast group. On comparing the two drugs, methotrexate is considered to have more cardioprotective action.

Plasma cell gingivitis (PCG) is a rare benign inflammatory disorder affecting the gingiva characterized by dense infiltration of plasma cells into the sub-epithelial connective tissue. It is considered a hypersensitivity reaction to various allergens; thus, the first step in management is to remove the causative factor. We are reporting a case of a 73-year-old male who presented with redness and swelling of upper gums, which bleeds easily on probing. The final diagnosis of PCG was confirmed by histology and immunochemistry. In this article, we report a rare case of PCG.
