Favre-Racouchot syndrome in a 39-year old female following radiation therapy.

Background: Favre-Racouchot syndrome is a cutaneous disease characterized by nodules, cysts, and comedones that typically develops on sun-exposed areas of the face. This syndrome most commonly affects white males between the ages of 40 and 60 years and is frequently associated with chronic sun exposure and, more recently, chronic cigarette smoking.

Objective: We report a case of Favre-Racouchot syndrome in a 39-year-old female who received 6 weeks of radiation therapy to treat a grade 3 oligodendroglioma.

Temporary tattoos to simulate skin disease: report and validation of a novel teaching tool.

Purpose: Dermatology is a visual specialty requiring examination and description of skin lesions and the development of analytic skills to establish a diagnosis. Student education in dermatology is challenged by several factors. Although 10% to 15% of a general practitioner's consultations are related to the skin, dermatology is often underrepresented in undergraduate medical curriculums.

The diagnostic accuracy of in vivo confocal scanning laser microscopy compared to dermoscopy of benign and malignant melanocytic lesions: a prospective study.

Background: The diagnosis of melanoma at an early, curable stage is an important challenge for clinicians. Confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM) is a high-resolution, noninvasive technology that may facilitate improved diagnostic accuracy over clinical examination. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of CSLM compared to dermoscopy in a prospective examination of benign and malignant melanocytic lesions.
