{"title":"Could There Be a Possible Link Between Vitiligo and Fibromyalgia Syndrome?","authors":"Ayhan Aşkın, Ayten Özkan, Seciye Eda Bıyıklı, A. Tosun","doi":"10.4274/TDD.3611","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4274/TDD.3611","url":null,"abstract":"Objective: In this study, it was aimed to determine the frequency of Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) in vitiligo patients and to evaluate its relation with clinical parameters. Methods: Thirty-five generalized vitiligo patients and 45 sexand age-matched healthy controls were included in the study. Participant’s demographic and clinical characteristics were determined. All participants were questioned in detail from the point of symptoms and signs of FMS. Clinical and functional evaluations were performed with Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (VASI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), visual analogue scale and hospital anxiety and depression scales (HADS). Results: Vitiligo patients’ fatigue, depression, anxiety and sleep quality scores were significantly higher (p<0.05). The frequency of FMS was significantly high in patients with vitiligo than in controls (34.3% vs 11.1%, p=0.015). The vitiligo patients with FMS had higher pain, fatigue, stiffness, FIQ, VASI, HADS and PSQI scores (p<0.05). Significant correlations were obtained between vitiligo severity and clinical parameters. FIQ, VASI, HADS and PSQI scores were detected as an important indicator which a sign of the presence of FMS in vitiligo patients. Conclusion: This study revealed that the frequency of FMS was significantly higher in patients with vitiligo. While the presence of FMS deteriorates the psychological state and sleep quality in vitiligo patients, it also exacerbates the severity of the disease. Therefore, clinicians should be aware of the FMS, which can worsen the clinical and functional status on vitiligo patients.","PeriodicalId":272857,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Dermatology / Türk Dermatoloji Dergisi","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114698792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we aimed to describe the clinical and pathological features of the patients diagnosed with AEGCG. Methods: The demographic, clinical and pathological features of patients who diagnosed with AEGCG were recorded retrospectively. Results: Ten patients with AEGCG included in the study (nine females and one male). The mean age of the patients was 60±9.53 years. The mean duration of disease was 24.2±36.30 months. On dermatologic examination, multiple, well-demarcated, elevated borders and central atrophic erythematous annular plaques were seen in all patients. In the most of the patients (90%) lesions were on the sun-exposed regions. Six of the patients had accompanying diseases. Histopathologic examination of the punch biopsies revealed foreign body type multinucleated giant cells and lymphocytic cell infiltration in the dermis. There were intracellular elastic fiber fragments as sign of elastophagocytosis in the giant cells. Conclusion: AEGCG is a rare granulomatous disease which can accompany various diseases. There is debate on the terminology, classification and pathogenesis. Further studies are required to elucidate the unknowns.","PeriodicalId":272857,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Dermatology / Türk Dermatoloji Dergisi","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128096984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
