Perineural invasion (PNI) is an adverse risk feature in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) that affects patient prognosis and disease management. However, research comparing different PNI patterns on outcomes limited.
Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a rare intraepithelial adenocarcinoma of pluripotent keratinocyte stem cells, which typically occurs in elderly patients.1 The current standard care involves surgical treatment with either wide local excision (WLE) or Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). For vulvar cases, radical resection, such as complete vulvectomy, may be performed. However, along significant procedural morbidity, tissue margins are often positive following occurring frequently 97% cases...
We present a 45 year-old man with an eight-year history of discoloration the nail plate on his left hallux. He had been treated two courses oral terbinafine and topical 8% ciclopirox for presumed onychomycosis. On exam, great toenail contained wide yellow-white longitudinal band involving majority plate. No subungual debris, hyperkeratosis, or paronychial inflammation was in affected nail. Histopathology revealed numerous fungal elements arranged transversely longitudinally, solely within...
Trauma can trigger the onset of some lesions cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). In this study, we present case a 65‐year‐old man who developed persistent, ulcerative, nodular lymphangiitis at site elbow abrasions from fall during trip to northeastern Brazil. Skin and lymph node biopsy showed tuberculoid granulomatous inflammation Grocott‐methamine silver‐positive yeast forms consistent with Sporothrix Staphylococcus lugdunensis was identified tissue culture. Antibacterial antifungal treatment...
BACKGROUND Treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) by Mohs surgery has traditionally relied on previous pathologic evaluation paraffin-embedded tissue. Tissue processing frozen sections allows for expedited diagnosis and treatment; however, data its accuracy are limited. OBJECTIVE To measure the outcomes biopsy via clinical NMSC. METHODS Biopsies NMSCs processed with in-office rendered one surgeon were retrospectively reviewed board-certified dermatopathologist. Discordant diagnoses...
Calciphylaxis is most commonly encountered in patients with end-stage renal disease; however, it increasingly observed nonuremic as well. It important to consider and diagnose calciphylaxis early, prompt treatment mitigation of associated risk factors essential improve long-term outcomes for these patients. Here, we present the case a 71-year-old woman atrial fibrillation on warfarin, but without disease, who presented two long-standing ulcers her thigh was diagnosed aid biopsy...
A 49-year-old man from New England presented with a 20-year history of pink, nonscaly, arcuate and figurate plaques on the right thigh, unresponsive to midpotency topical steroids (Fig 1, A). In year before presentation, 2 nodules developed within B). The patient denied having fevers, night sweats, pruritus, or weight loss. He tick bites. No lymphadenopathy was appreciated. Biopsies 2, A-C) new nodule longstanding plaque were obtained.Fig 2View Large Image Figure ViewerDownload Hi-res image...
Hyperkeratotic Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is a rare clinicopathologic variant of AIDS-related KS that typically presents with chronic lymphedema and diffuse hyperkeratotic plaques the lower extremities. Histopathologically, this defined by epidermal hyperplasia, thickened lymphatic walls, increased numbers dermal fibroblasts vascular spaces. Herein, we report case 63-year-old HIV-positive male who presented KS.
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most commonly diagnosed skin cancer in United States and are frequently encountered on sun-exposed body sites including head neck. They can be difficult to distinguish from other common neoplasms making biopsy a necessity for diagnosis prior treatment. These tumors grow contiguously, locally destructive but rarely metastasize them good candidates local surgical removal or destruction. This chapter reviews BCC epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic approach...
