Dermoscopic Follow-Up of the Skin towards Acute Graft-versus-Host-Disease in Patients after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Figure 3

Case  10. A 42-year-old male patient developed skin aGVHD (stage 2°) within the back and arms on the 74th day. Dermoscopic images of the forehead (a, b, and c), décolleté (e, f, and g), and back (i, j, and k) obtained at the earlier time points of monitoring (−3, +32, and +53) revealed no telangiectasias. In all these locations, marked pinkish background with multiple telangiectasias was highly expressed in the late dermoscopic examination (+109) (d, h, and l), whereas clinical symptoms of aGVHD were clinically visible only on the back and arms. Dermoscopy showed pinkish background with features described as multiple teleangiectasias.
