Abstract Background Recent studies analyzed the impact of Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) on prognosis carcinoma (MCC) patients. No data specific morphological clinical differences MCPyV+ or MCPyV- are currently available neither possible prognostic implication different presentation MCC. Objectives 1) to describe clinicopathological characteristics MCC patients and prevalence MCPyV infection in an Italian cohort patients; 2) define features among MCCs. Methods Retrospective, multicenter,...

Spitz nevi (SN) are benign melanocytic proliferations frequently occurring in children. Some pigmented SN with a starburst pattern evolve into the "stardust" one, which is characterized by central, black to gray, hyperpigmented area and remnants of brown network at periphery. These dermoscopy changes often first alert induce excision.The aim this study enlarge case series stardust children, order increase confidence new dermoscopic reduce unnecessary excisions.This retrospective...
