Hey Craig, here are some of my findings:
1.Portwine: A port-wine stain or naevus flammeus and or Hemangioma
2.Nutmeg liver: congestive hepathopathy and chronic passive congestive of the liver.
3.Coffee ground hemesis: is a classical sign of upper GI bleeding.
4.Red currant jelly: Klebsiella pneumonia, a form of bacterial pneumonia associated with klebsiella pneumoniae.
5.Strawberry tongue:
a) Kawasaki disease, Toxic shock syndrome and scarlet fever. b)It may mimic glossitis or B12 deficiency
6.Chocolate cyst: Endometrioma, endometrioid cyst, endometrial cyst, or chocolate cyst of ovary is a condition related to Endometriosis.
7.Caseous necrosis: is associated with TB. It can also be caused by Syphilis and certain fungi. A similar appearance can be associated with histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and coccidioidomycosis.
8.Sugar coated liver: Hyaloserositis.
9.Omon skin: Familial systematized epidermal nevus syndrome…(Not really sure).
10.Grape clusters: Staphylococcus Aureus Infections.
I must admit the last ones aren't pretty easy... lol.
