T M Chesney

    The American Journal of Dermatopathology
    |June 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Systemic atheromatous emboli, a cause of kidney failure, can manifest in skin arterioles. Skin biopsy is a reliable diagnostic method for detecting these emboli and potential skin infarcts.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatopathology
    • Nephropathology
    • Arteriosclerosis

    Background:

    • Arteriosclerosis disease, specifically atheromatous emboli, is a known cause of renal failure.
    • The significance of atheromatous emboli in dermatopathology is often underestimated.
    • Atheromatous emboli can lead to skin infarcts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the dermatopathological significance of atheromatous emboli.
    • To establish skin biopsy as a diagnostic tool for systemic atheromatous emboli.

    Main Methods:

    • Histopathological examination of skin biopsy from a 74-year-old man.
    • Identification of atheromatous emboli in dermal arterioles.

    Main Results:

    • Atheromatous emboli were identified in the arterioles of the ear dermis.

  • The findings suggest a link between systemic atheromatous emboli and skin manifestations.

    • Conclusions:

    • Systemic atheromatous emboli have implications beyond renal pathology.
    • Skin biopsy can serve as a valuable diagnostic method for systemic atheromatous emboli.
    • Recognizing atheromatous emboli in skin is crucial for diagnosing systemic disease.
