Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We present a case of a 43-year-old woman with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome, on adalimumab, methotrexate, and risedronate, who developed pruritic, skin-colored papules on the dorsal hands. A biopsy revealed features consistent with syringomas. Syringomas are benign eccrine duct tumors that typically appear as small, shiny papules, most often in the periorbital area but can also present in acral regions. Only 14 cases of exclusive acral syringomas have been reported. Eruptive variants may resemble conditions such as lichen nitidus or warts, making dermoscopy and histopathology crucial for diagnosis. Dermoscopically, syringomas may show fine reticulate brown lines and homogenous pigmentation. Histologically, they show small ductal structures and epithelial cords in the dermis. Their exact pathogenesis remains unclear, possibly involving hormonal or inflammatory triggers. Treatment is challenging due to their dermal depth and recurrence risk, with lasers and retinoids among the options. This case highlights the diagnostic complexity of acral eruptive syringomas.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
