Background.Early and accurate diagnosis of cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) actinic keratoses (AK) is fundamental to reduce their associated morbidity select the correct treatment.Line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) a new imaging device that can characterize healthy skin basal carcinoma, but no large studies on keratinocyte tumours have yet been published.Aim.To identify describe LC-OCT criteria with SCC AK, compare findings in these tumours.Methods.A...
Abstract Background Published studies on emergency dermatology consultations are few because there units in the world. No study has yet described Italian situation. Objectives To quantify and characterize patients evaluated our unit from 2006 to 2011. Methods We studied personal details, diagnosis, annual trend of cases, level hospitalization cases over 6‐year period. Results A total 12 226 were evaluated. The most numerous diagnostic group was infections (27.1%), followed by non‐specific...
Genital warts are the most frequent sexually transmitted disease. Their clinical diagnosis is not always easy, and invasive skin biopsies for histological examination should be performed in these cases. The aim of study was to investigate use non-invasive imaging techniques genital their imitators. We retrospectively evaluated dermoscopy, reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), line-filed (LC-OCT) images nine patients with 19 mucous membranes five lesions that clinically mimic warts,...
Infantile perianal pyramidal protrusion, it is a rare benign cutaneous condition described in relatively recent times. It considered to be under-reported the pediatric literature because often mistaken for other conditions. The unawareness of this lesion may responsible an excessive concern both physician and parents, which leads overly aggressive unnecessary treatments. Thus its recognition has many implications regarding proper management treatment. We report typical presentation IPPP...
Plaque‐type blue naevus (PTBN) is a very rare variant of (BN). The potential malignancy subcutaneous cellular nodules (SCN) in PTBN was discovered 2012, and there currently no clear consensus on prognostic factors or management guidelines such lesions. the scalp have not been described literature. We report clinical, histopathological immunohistological features 50‐year‐old man who presented with 30‐year history PTBN, malignant proliferation nodular elements fatal outcome 8 years later.

<b><i>Background/Aim:</i></b> The diagnosis of palmoplantar melanoma is often delayed and misdiagnosis common, due to frequently unusual clinical presentation. We used a digital dermoscopy analyzer with series pigmented skin lesions (PP-PSL), we compared sensitivity, specificity diagnostic accuracy obtained analysis (DDA) classical dermoscopy. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Digital images 107 PP-PSL were retrospectively from the database 3 Italian...

Superficial acral fibromyxoma (SAFM) is a rare soft tissue tumor that frequently involves the periungual and subungual regions of surfaces. Macroscopically, it appears as flesh-colored dome-shaped solitary mass; microscopically, consists moderately cellular proliferation spindle-shaped fibroblast-like cells embedded in myxocollagenous stroma arranged loose storiform focally fascicular pattern. The are immunoreactive for CD34, epithelial membrane antigen, CD99, CD10. In this study, we...
