A comprehensive study on aberrant CD20+ mycosis fungoides: clinical and prognostic insights.

Background: As the majority of T-cell lymphomas lack CD20 expression, cases of mycosis fungoides (MF) exhibiting aberrant CD20 expression are exceedingly uncommon.

Objectives: To comprehensively evaluate the clinical, histopathological and prognostic features of seven patients diagnosed with CD20+ MF.

Methods: This retrospective study involved seven cases of MF with aberrant CD20 expression.

Postauricular linear basal cell carcinomas related to medical mask cords: a possible association.

Linear basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a distinct clinical morphological variant of BCC. Although it has been speculated that trauma and the Koebner phenomenon may be linked to linear BCC, the pathophysiology has not yet been shown. Herein, 5 cases of BCC were presented that developed in the postauricular region as a result of trauma caused by the cords of the medical face masks worn during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A patient with widespread skin lesions presenting with massive pleural effusion.

Mycosis fungoides is the most commonly seen type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoproliferative disease. While mycosis fungoides is linked to an increased risk of developing secondary malignancies, the occurrence of B-cell-originated disease in association with it is exceedingly rare. A 66-year-old male with persistent papillomatous skin eruption was admitted due to dyspnea.

Combined tumour of aberrant cytokeratin expressing acral lentiginous melanoma and poroma: Diagnostic challenge.

Combined tumours are uncommon and therefore these tumours may pose a diagnostic challenge. In the current case report, it is aimed to present the clinicopathological features of a combined tumour including melanoma with aberrant cytokeratin expression and poroma.

Bilateral Corneal Panni Associated with Limbal Inclusion Cysts in the Left Eye in a Patient with Atopic Keratoconjunctivitis.

Purpose: To report a rare case of atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC) presenting with bilateral corneal panni associated with limbal inclusion cysts in the left eye.

Materials & Methods: Retrospective case report.

Results: A 19-year-old female with AKC presented with bilateral corneal panni and limbal inclusion cysts in the left eye.

Integrated diagnosis of nevi with severely atypical features and impact of second opinions.

Background: A subset of melanocytic proliferations is difficult to classify by dermatopathology alone and their management is challenging.

Objective: To explore the value of correlation with dermatoscopy and to evaluate the utility of second opinions by additional pathologists.

Methods: For this single center retrospective study we collected 122 lesions that were diagnosed as atypical melanocytic proliferations, we reviewed dermatoscopy and asked two experienced pathologists to reassess the slides independently.

Anterior segment optical coherence tomography in ocular surface tumours and simulating lesions.

This study aims to systematically review the reported literature on the use of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) in ocular surface tumours and simulating lesions. A systematic literature search was done using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases between January 2002 and December 2021. On AS-OCT, ocular surface squamous neoplasia typically demonstrate epithelial thickening, epithelial hyperreflectivity, and an abrupt transition between normal and abnormal epithelium.

Dermatoscopic features of Spitz naevi on acral volar skin: Report of 11 cases.

Spitzoid melanocytic lesions characterized by spindle and/or epithelioid tumour cells can occur anywhere on the skin but the acral presentation of Spitz naevus is very rare and comprises about <4% of all Spitz naevi. However, data regarding their dermatoscopic features on the acral volar skin are scarce. Herein, 11 cases of acral Spitz naevus involving the glabrous skin with predominant dermatoscopic findings of atypical fibrillar pattern in non-pressure bearing areas, a structureless pigmentation involving both the furrows and the ridges are presented.

Morphology of the trigeminal ganglion: anatomical structures related to trigeminal radiofrequency rhizotomy.

Background: Trigeminal neuralgia is the most common example of craniofacial neuralgia. Its etiology is unknown and is characterized by severe episodes of paroxysmal pain. The trigeminal ganglion and its adjacent anatomical structures have a complex anatomy.

Systematized Epidermal Nevus Syndrome Involving the Upper and Lower Eyelids Bilaterally.

A 29-year-old woman presented with dark-colored raised lesions on both eyelids since early childhood. Ophthalmological examination revealed pigmented verrucous lesions on her upper and lower eyelids bilaterally. The patient had a history of generalized tonic-clonic seizures.

Partial lamellar sclerouvectomy surgery for anteriorly located uveal tumour resection: a 20-year experience.

Objectives: To investigate the results of partial lamellar sclerouvectomy (PLSU) for anteriorly located uveal tumours.

Methods: We reviewed the tumour features, histopathologic findings, complications, visual acuity outcomes, eye preservation, metastasis, and mortality data of 56 cases with uveal tumours who underwent PLSU between February 1999 and February 2019.

Results: The mean largest tumour base diameters were 5.

Dermatoscopic findings and dermatopathological correlates in clinical variants of actinic keratosis, Bowen's disease, keratoacanthoma, and squamous cell carcinoma.

Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), predominantly squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma, is increasing worldwide. Dermatoscopy, which is one of the non-invasive diagnostic techniques, is important for early diagnosis of NMSC. In this study we aimed to determine dermatoscopic features of keratinocyte derived tumors including actinic keratosis (AK), Bowen's disease (BD), keratoacanthoma (KA), and SCC and correlate the dermatoscopic findings with pathology.

Subungual Glomangiomyoma.

Glomus tumors are relatively rare benign tumors originated from normal glomus bodies. These tumors make up approximately 2% of all hand tumors and are most commonly found in the nail matrix and proximal nail bed of the hands. Histopathologically, they are classified into solid glomus tumor, glomangioma, and the least common type glomangiomyoma.

Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides: Clinical characteristics, treatments, and long-term outcomes of 53 patients in a tertiary hospital.

Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (FMF) is characterized by a broad clinical spectrum and worse prognosis compared to classical MF. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics, treatment modalities and long-term outcome and risk factors for progression and survival of FMF patients. We conducted a single-center retrospective study and reviewed 53 patients diagnosed with FMF between 1990 to 2019 in a referral center at Ankara University, Turkey.
