Article Synopsis
- A case study involved an 8-year-old boy who had a large, recurrent skin horn on his neck, which was successfully treated through surgery.
- The findings suggest that "perforating pilomatricoma," characterized by skin horn formation, should be recognized as a possible diagnosis for kids showing similar symptoms.
Article Synopsis
- Vulvar and vaginal melanomas (VVMs) are rare but serious types of cancer that don't have a lot of standard ways to predict their outcomes.
- A study looked at 79 cases of VVMs over about 26 months and found that certain factors, like tumour necrosis (when the tumor is dying), can indicate how likely a patient is to survive.
- Vaginal melanomas were found to have worse survival rates compared to other types like vulvar or clitoral melanomas, highlighting the need for different treatment plans based on where the cancer is located.

Methods: A literature search using the OVID MEDLINE and PubMed databases was performed to identify all studies describing histologic findings in surgical pathology specimens from transgender persons from 1946 to April 2021. The studies describing postsurgical complications were categorized based on anatomic site, type of complication, study design, publication region, and date.
