Cutaneous sporotrichoid leishmaniasis: An atypical case caused by .

A 32 year-old male was referred in our institution for painless erythematous papules on the back of the right hand, treated by various local therapies with no noticeable benefits. On examination multiples inconspicuous nodules were identified 10 days after the onset of the primary lesion. Mycological examination was done to rule out sporotrichosis, then cutaneous leishmaniasis was retained by finding amastigotes forms, and agent was confirmed after culture on NNN medium followed by isoenzyme electrophoresis.

Malignant melanoma with areas of rhabdomyosarcomatous differentiation arising in a giant congenital nevus with RAF1 gene fusion.

A girl, born with a posterior  lumbosacral giant congenital nevus, developed a central nodule that expanded over a period of 14 months into a 10-cm pedunculated mass. Histological analysis of the mass revealed melanoma of myxoid, small round-cell type with areas of  rhabdomyosarcomatous  transformation confirmed by immunohistochemistry. RNA sequencing identified an in-frame SASS6(e14)-RAF1(e8) fusion in both components and the nevus.

Epidemiological and aetiological study on tinea pedis and onychomycosis in Algeria.

Epidemiological studies on tinea pedis and onychomycosis, common fungal infections, have been conducted in many parts of the world. There are currently no studies of tinea pedis and/or onychomycosis in Algeria. The aim of this paper was to study the epidemiology of foot diseases, including tinea pedis and onychomycosis and to identify the aetiological factors of these infections in outpatients attending the Department of Dermatology of the Central Hospital of Army in Algiers, Algeria.
