Patient-submitted images vary considerably in quality and usefulness. Studies that characterize patient-submitted a real-life setting are lacking.To evaluate the perceived usefulness of as determined by dermatologists agreement their responses.This survey study included patient submitted to Department Dermatology at Duke University (Durham, North Carolina) between August 1, 2018, December 31, 2019.

Abstract: Melanocytic matricoma is a rare neoplasm thought to recapitulate the hair follicle in anagen. The tumor forms nodule dermis containing basaloid, intermediate and shadow cells admixed with pigmented melanocytes dispersed as single dendritic cells. Because cadherins catenins are crucial development of tumors, we examined expression E(epithelial)‐, P(placental)‐, N(nerve)‐cadherin β‐catenin melanocytic matricoma. A 66‐year‐old Caucasian woman history breast cancer presented on...
Abstract: Hypergranulation is having more granulation tissue than needed to fill a wound defect. Some pediatric dermatologists and most dermatologic surgeons will encounter this complication during their careers. Associated factors include site, prolonged inflammation, an imbalance in matrix metalloproteinases, excessive angiogenesis. Reported treatments have included silver nitrate, excision, laser ablation, topical corticosteroids. Our case series supports the use of medium‐ high‐potency...

Our patient and previously reported cases demonstrate the existence dissecting cellulitis‐like presentation tinea capitis. This variant should be recognized to prevent misdiagnosis cellulitis allow proper treatment scarring alopecia.
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against the T cell receptor (TCR)-associated CD3 chains and TCR-alpha beta heterodimer can inhibit allograft rejection in humans experimental animals. Since effects of stimulation through these surface structures may differ, it has been suggested that there could be advantages to targeting one structure versus other. In order directly compare two such mAbs for vivo immunosuppressive properties mechanisms action, C57BL/10 mice were treated with H57-597...
Abstract: Eruptive vellus hairs cysts are benign papules consisting of small containing multiple hairs. An eruption commonly develops on the chest and sometimes upper extremities. These asymptomatic or rarely pruritic. Only a few cases familial association have been described. We report development eruptive hair trunk an 8‐ 12‐year‐old sister brother.
