Morphoea presenting histopathologically as mycosis fungoides: an illustrative series of four cases.

Aims: There have been exceptional reports of morphoea presenting with epidermal changes overlapping histopathologically with cutaneous T cell lymphoma of the mycosis fungoides type (MF). This phenomenon gives rise to an ambiguous clinicopathological scenario in which distinguishing these conditions may be challenging. The aim of this study is to characterise the clinical, histopathological and molecular findings of this phenomenon through a case series.

An evaluation of the available pharmacotherapy for the treatment of hirsutism.

Introduction: Hirsutism is the presence of excessive body hair in a male pattern distribution in a woman, and can affect up to 20% of women. It can be associated with high levels of psychosocial and psychosexual morbidity. It is a common cause for presentation to medical staff, particularly endocrinologists, gynecologists, and dermatologists.

Tuberous xanthoma secondary to homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia: a life-threatening diagnosis.

We report the case of a 9-year-old girl who presented with asymptomatic lesions on the extensor surfaces of the elbows and knees, in keeping with tuberous xanthoma. She was investigated and diagnosed with homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia, and commenced on lipid-lowering treatment. We highlight the importance of identification of this condition early, such that life-saving treatment can be initiated and premature death avoided.

Risk Factors for Nonattendance in Delusional Infestation: A Multicenter Observational Study.

Background: Nonattendance is common among patients suffering from delusional infestation (DI) with a risk factor for poorer patient outcomes.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the incidence rate and predictors of nonattendance among patients presenting to a psychodermatology department with DI and the subsequent effect on the success of prescribing new antipsychotics.

Methods: Data of 265 patients were reviewed of the Amsterdam UMC, the Erasmus University Medical Center, the Royal London Hospital, and the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine between January 2008 and October 2019.
