Cohort studies of large series patients with sarcoidosis over a long period time are scarce. The aim this study is to report 40-year clinical experience at Bellvitge University Hospital, tertiary university hospital in Barcelona, Spain. Diagnosis required histological confirmation except certain specific situations. All underwent prospective protocol. Clinical assessment and follow-up were performed by multidisciplinary team.From 1976 2015, 640 diagnosed sarcoidosis, 438 them (68.4%) female...
Specific (granulomatous) cutaneous lesions are seen in 9-37% of cases systemic sarcoidosis, and usually classified into maculopapules, plaques, lupus pernio (LP), scar subcutaneous sarcoidosis. Their prognostic significance has not been fully established.To analyse the relationship between clinical type granulomatous features prognosis sarcoidosis.The charts 86 patients (19 men, 67 women, mean age 46.82 years) with sarcoidosis involvement followed up for > 2 years at Bellvitge University...
To study angiogenesis in early steps of melanoma progression, 113 cutaneous melanomas 1mm or less thickness were stained with Ulex europaeus lectin. Vascular density was determined the areas greatest vascularization. avoid effect anatomic location, quotient between vascular at tumor base and normal skin (vascular ratio) obtained each case. Of these melanomas, 46 immunohistochemically for presence endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Positivity scored from 1–4 by comparing staining cells...
Subcutaneous sarcoidosis is a specific cutaneous lesion of that rarely reported.Our purpose was to analyse the clinicopathological features 10 patients with subcutaneous and its relationship systemic disease.The sarcoidosis, diagnosed from 1974 2002 at university hospital in Barcelona, Spain, who developed involvement, were included study. The diagnosis made according conventional criteria. All monitored prospectively clinic hospital. Skin biopsies performed when granulomatous involvement...
Introduction. Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare, non-infectious neutrophilic dermatosis usually located in the legs. PG of breast infrequent and may be diagnostic challenge. Our objective was to review our patients with order analyse their clinical features. Methods. Patients diagnosed involving Bellvitge University Hospital (Barcelona, Spain) between 2000 2023, were included study. Medical charts retrospectively reviewed obtain data. Results. Ten (10 women aged 30 63 years, median 49.5)....
Acral melanoma is associated with poor prognosis. Studying the characteristics and prognosis of Caucasian patients crucial to understand distinct features this tumor. To analyze epidemiological, clinicopathological, prognostic acral in patients. We conducted a retrospective, multicenter, cohort study from database across 20 hospitals South Europe January 2000 through December 2019. A total 733 melanomas were identified (median age, 67.5 years; 95.2%, Caucasians; 77.5% which located on feet)....
There have been few studies on cutaneous tuberculosis (TB) in Europe recent years. Objective. To retrospectively analyse the evolution of various types TB over past 30 years an adult population Spain.Patients with diagnosed between 1981 and 2011 at Bellvitge Hospital, Barcelona, Spain, were included study. Chest radiography was performed for all patients, presence elsewhere body excluded when clinically suspected.In total, 36 patients (15 male, 21 female, mean age 53.72 years) TB. 22 lupus...
Leishmaniasis is endemic in several geographic areas of the world. In each these areas, particular species Leishmania with differing aggressiveness to humans predominate. European Mediterranean basin, cutaneous leishmaniasis usually presents discrete, self‐healing skin lesions. Although it known that tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors may increase risk developing infections such as tuberculosis, there scarce literature on patients treated drugs. recent months, we have observed three...
All cases of MM diagnosed in 23 hospitals Catalonia, from 2000 to 2007 were recorded and melanoma incidence calculated adjusted for the European standard population via direct method.

The incidence of melanoma has been increasing worldwide during recent decades. objective the study was to analyse trends in for situ and invasive Spanish region Catalonia period 2008-2017. We designed a cross-sectional with an age-period-cohort analysis patient data from Network Melanoma Centres Catalonia. Our database covered population over seven million included total 8626 patients incident melanoma. main outcome measures were crude age-standardised rates European 2013 standard...
