Abstract
Pseudoverrucous papules and nodules is a reaction to irritation usually associated with urostomies. We report a case of perianal pseudoverrucous papules and nodules in an elderly patient who developed a characteristic diaper dermatitis after infrequent diaper change. The perianal papulonodular lesions improved after saline wet dressing and topical steroid application. These perianal pseudoverrucous papules and nodules indicate a unique type of irritant diaper dermatitis, which can be distinguished from Jacquet erosive diaper dermatitis and granuloma gluteale adultorum. Identifying this condition is important because pseudoverrucous papules and nodules can resemble more serious dermatoses, leading to unnecessary investigations being carried out.

Abstract
Many people in Italy undergo ostomy because of illness, and this can have negative psychological and physical effects. It is estimated that 15%-43% of ostomates suffer from skin complications in the peristomal area. During their life, many ostomates experience at least one peristomal lesion, and they turn to stomal therapy centres where trained nurses provide patient care and manage skin complications. To ensure a good quality of life for patients, and to take prompt action for the prevention and treatment of stomal lesions, it is essential to use appropriate assessment tools. The aim of this study was to develop a reliable peristomal skin assessment tool (Peristomal Lesion Scale [PLS]) for classifying lesions based on their severity; and to compare its validity with the most widely used peristomal tool in Italy, SACS. The new tool was designed by a team of experts, focusing on patients' demographics, clinical characteristics, and classification of the lesions by severity and topography. The results of this comparative validation study indicate that the PLS better discriminates lesions by their severity because of its level of detail, using a standardised terminology, and its completeness. The PLS is a valid tool for use in the daily work of stomal therapists.

Abstract
Objetivo: identificar y analizar las herramientas utilizadas para evaluar las complicaciones de la piel periestoma a través de revisión integradora de la literatura. Materiales y método: la búsqueda se dio en estas bases y portales de datos: Biblioteca Virtual de la Salud (BVS), PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus y Web of Science, de enero a febrero de 2018. Durante la búsqueda en las bases de datos, se utilizaron los descriptores: ostomía, colostomía, dermatitis y las palabras clave: instrumentos, complicaciones de la piel periestoma y evaluación de la piel periestoma. Se incluyeron estudios que cumplieron los siguientes criterios: que estén disponibles en su totalidad, que estén publicados en español, inglés y portugués, no se tuvo en cuenta el rango de tiempo y tenía que ser acerca de las herramientas de evaluación de las condiciones de la piel periestoma. Resultados: el análisis identificó la existencia de nueve instrumentos con diferentes parámetros para describir la piel periestoma. En general, los instrumentos describen los cambios basados en la clasificación de la complicación, en la causa del daño a la piel o en las características clínicas presentes. Los estudios evidenciaron, además, que la mayoría de los instrumentos no poseen propiedades de medida probadas. Conclusión: de los nueve instrumentos de evaluación identificados, solo cuatro tienen propiedades de medidas probadas. El enfermero debe conocer los instrumentos existentes confiables y válidos para describir y clasificar la gravedad de los problemas de la piel periestoma, lo que aporta a la sistematización de un diagnóstico más preciso y mejora, por lo tanto, la calidad del cuidado.

Abstract
Irritant contact dermatitis is a common cause of chronic vulvitis in patients wearing diapers and incontinence garments. In most cases the diagnosis is obvious; however, atypical presentations may mimic more serious dermatoses. We present a 4-year-old girl who presented at birth with cloacal atresia corrected surgically and resulting in chronic incontinence requiring full-time diapers. She presented with crops of herpetiform vesicles and bullae on a base that ranged from normal skin to severe erythema and oedema. A histological examination revealed a well-demarcated lesion showing a thickened epidermis with hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis, acanthosis and an abrupt transition to pallor of the upper half. Focal full thickness epidermis necrosis and small areas of spongiosis, acantholysis and apoptotic keratinocytes were seen. Immunofluorescence was negative. The lesions improved with the treatment of secondary infection and minimal topical therapy with an emollient only. This case represents an unusual vesicular variant of pseudoverrucous papules and nodules, which has been reported only once previously.

Abstract
Irritant contact dermatitis is a common cause of genital eruptions representing at least one-fifth of presenting anogenital symptoms. A spectrum of inflammatory reactions have been identified, some of them with features severely mimicking more serious dermatoses, which may lead unnecessary workup and treatments. We report a case of a 10-year-old girl who presented at birth with cloacal atresia involving the rectum and the urethra. A diverting colostomy and a urethral-vaginal fistula were created to correct the deformity. Physical examination reveals numerous shiny, white-gray, pseudoverrucous papules and nodules coalescing into plaques over the vulva and its surrounding skin. Histological examination showed psoriasiform epidermal hyperplasia with a marked reactive acanthosis and altered cornification with parakeratosis, hypogranulosis, and pale keratinocytes in the upper reaches of the epidermis. The lesions regress when the irritating factor was removed. This case represents a peculiar form of presentation of perianal pseudoverrucous papules and nodules, usually secondary to urinary incontinence or encopresis (inability to control the elimination of stool) after surgery for Hirschsprung disease. Because similar findings have not been previously observed in patients with urethral-vaginal fistula, we attempt to extend the spectrum of presentations for a better knowledge of this condition.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of the study was to prospectively describe stoma configuration and evaluate stoma-related complications and their association with possible risk factors. METHOD All elective patients (n = 180) operated on with a formation of colostomy, ileostomy or loop-ileostomy between 2003 and 2005 were included in the study. Follow up took place on the ward postoperatively and five times during 2 years after discharge. On these occasions the diameter and height of the stoma were recorded. Complications such as peristomal skin problems, necrosis, leakage caused by a low stoma, stenosis, granuloma formation, prolapse and peristomal hernia formation were evaluated. RESULTS Most complications occurred 2 weeks after discharge; 53% of patients with colostomies, 79% with loop-ileostomies and 70% of patients with end-ileostomy had one or more complications. The most common complication was skin problems and it was most common in patients with end-ileostomies (60%) and loop-ileostomies (73%). Postoperatively at ward review, the most common complication was necrosis, which occurred in 20% of patients with a colostomy. Granuloma formation was most frequent in colostomies. Almost all patients with an end-ileostomy and loop-ileostomy with a height lower than 20 mm had leakage and skin problems as had half of the patients with a colostomy height lower than 5 mm. CONCLUSION To prevent stoma-related complications, it is important to produce an adequate height of the stoma, with early and regular follow ups and adjustment of the appliance. To work closely in collaboration with the colorectal surgeons is of utmost important to provide feedback and in turn, to improve stoma outcome.

Abstract
Granuloma gluteale infantum/adultorum, pseudoverrucous papules, and Jacquet's erosive diaper dermatitis are fairly uncommon manifestations of irritant contact dermatitis historically thought to be distinct clinical entities. Here we report two informative cases of an erosive papulonodular dermatosis in the genital and suprapubic area associated with topical benzocaine. We review granuloma gluteale infantum, pseudoverrucous papules and nodules, and Jacquet's erosive diaper dermatitis, and propose that these disorders may all be variants of genitocrural irritant dermatitis.

Abstract
Pseudoverrucous papules and nodules can be observed on skin surrounding urostomies and colostomies. These lesions appear to be uncommon, and sometimes can be misdiagnosed, even leading to surgical removal. We report the case of a 12-year-old boy whose lesions appeared in crops in an area subjected to urine leakage and spontaneously regressed in time. In this patient, anogenital warts had to be ruled out, but many skin diseases must be considered in the differential diagnosis of these misunderstood lesions. We stress the importance of a skin examination by a trained professional aware of these problems to avoid unnecessary investigations and treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skin integrity is essential for the normal usage of a stoma appliance. However, there is little published on the prevalence, nature or management of stoma-related skin disorders. Objectives To document stoma-related skin disorders in a large cohort of patients. METHODS We sent a postal questionnaire to all surviving patients who had had abdominal stoma surgery at Hope Hospital, Salford, U.K. in the 10 years from 1 January 1989. Those reporting skin disease were invited to attend a clinic run by a dermatologist and a stoma-care specialist nurse. All lesions were categorized and swabs taken for microbiological examination. RESULTS Of 525 surviving patients, 325 (62%) replied to the questionnaire. Of these, 73% reported a skin problem that had affected normal stoma bag use. Dermatoses included irritant reactions, particularly from leakage of urine or faeces (42%); pre-existing skin diseases, principally psoriasis, seborrhoeic dermatitis and eczema (20%); infections (6%); allergic contact dermatitis (0.7%) and pyoderma gangrenosum (0.6% annual incidence). A further 15% of patients with skin problems had persistent or recurrent dermatitis not explained by allergy, frank infection or faecal irritation. This responded to short-term treatment with topical corticosteroids. Further investigation is under way into its pathogenesis. CONCLUSIONS Skin disorders are common in stoma patients, and various patterns can be recognized and effectively treated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dermatoses that interfere with the normal use of a stoma appliance are common. When preventable causes, such as infection or allergy, are not identified, barrier preparations or topical steroids have been used. However, topical medicaments formulated in a cream or ointment base will cause stoma bags to detach, resulting in leaks. OBJECTIVE Our purpose was to investigate the efficacy and suitability of corticosteroids in aqueous/alcohol lotions in the management of peristomal dermatoses. METHODS A clinic run by a dermatologist and 2 stoma nurses was created. Patients with a variety of noninfective, inflammatory dermatoses were treated with topical corticosteroid lotions up to a maximum of 4 weeks, with occasional use thereafter in some cases. RESULTS Topical, aqueous/alcohol, corticosteroid lotions have been used in 60 patients and have proved particularly useful for the treatment of irritant dermatitis, pyoderma gangrenosum, psoriasis, and constitutional eczema. After the initial treatment course, occasional applications, approximately every 2 weeks, may be necessary to control the skin disorder. This low frequency of application minimizes the risk of side effects so that we have not identified local or systemic side effects in any of the patients treated so far. CONCLUSION Topical corticosteroids formulated in aqueous alcohol lotion are effective and acceptable treatments for peristomal dermatoses. If used appropriately, the risk of side effects is low.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the health-related quality of life after bladder substitution with that following ileal conduit diversion. PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty-seven male patients with bladder cancer completed the questionnaire; 38 had undergone bladder substitution and 29 ileal conduit diversion; the median follow-up was 1.0 year (range 0.5-3.0) and 4.8 years (range 1.1-15.2), respectively. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted and analysed, and the questionnaire was developed based upon these results. RESULTS Both day- and night-time urinary leakage occurred more frequently following bladder substitution (18% against 10%, and 21% against 3%). Nevertheless, urinary leakage affected conduit patients more severely and they scored higher on a leakage distress scale. Furthermore, 58% of the ileal conduit but only 21% of the bladder substitution patients gave urinary leakage as their main concern (P = 0.04). Ileal conduit patients did not retain their body image as well as those with bladder substitution. The frequency of both sexual and non-sexual physical contacts decreased in the majority of the conduit patients but only in a minority of the bladder substitute patients. Global satisfaction was high and similar in both groups. CONCLUSION These results show that the health-related quality of life is retained to a higher degree after bladder substitution and supports the use of this procedure as the standard method of diversion after cystectomy for bladder cancer.

Abstract
We report two patients with Hirschsprung disease in whom severe diarrhea and a distinctive diaper dermatitis developed after delayed ileoanal anastomosis. The perianal papulonodular lesions cleared in months or years without specific treatment after resolution of the diarrhea. These perianal pseudoverrucous papules and nodules represent a peculiar form of primary irritant diaper dermatitis, distinct from Jacquet erosive diaper dermatitis and granuloma gluteale infantum.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to describe types of appliances and stoma care routines and evaluate their relation to peristomal skin complications. Sixty-six patients with a cutaneous uretero-ileostomy were interviewed and the peristomal skin was assessed according to Classification of Peristomal Skin (CPS). The results show a conservatism regarding the types of appliance and the stoma care routines. More than half of the patients used the same product at follow-up as they were initially fitted with three to 14 years earlier. The routines adopted by the patients were often inadequate, resulting in skin complications. Continuous exposure of the skin to urine by creation of a too wide opening in the face-plate and infrequent changing of the appliance resulted in development of pseudoverrucose skin lesions.

Abstract
Sixty-six patients with uretero-ileostomy were investigated with special regards to local status of the urinary stoma, i.e. stomal site, length, size/shape, and peristomal skin. Each variable was defined. In reports from other centres there has been a lack of definitions making it difficult to compare results from different studies. One fifth of our patients had inadequately located stomas and 85% had stomas shorter than 1 cm. The peristomal skin status was assessed according to CPS, Classification of Peristomal Skin. Eight per cent of the patients exhibited severe erythematous/erosive lesions and one fifth pseudoverrucose lesions. The relation between skin lesions and local status of the urinary stoma was analyzed. Patients with inadequately located stomas were more likely to show severe erythematous/erosive lesions and there was a tendency towards patients with stomas shorter than 1 cm, more frequently exhibiting pseudoverrucose lesions.
