Primary Cutaneous Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma: A Misdiagnosed Tumor.

Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PCACC) is a rare, slow-growing adnexal skin tumor with about 250 documented cases. We present a case involving a 66-year-old woman who was treated with ovulation inductors 30 years ago and underwent surgeries for meningioma 20 years ago and invasive galactophoric adenocarcinoma of the left breast 12 years ago. She presented with a gradually enlarging, solid, skin-colored tumor on her scalp, located along an old surgical scar initially diagnosed as a keloid by her surgeon.

Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Clinico-Dermoscopic and Histological Correlation: About 72 Cases.

Introduction: Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common skin cancer, accounting for 20% of malignant skin tumors. Dermoscopy is a very useful tool for diagnosing cSCC, and its findings are confirmed through histopathological studies.

Objectives: to describe the different dermoscopic structures of invasive cSCC and investigate their association with the clinical form and histopathological grade of differentiation.

[Unusual localisation of rare primary skin carcinoma: a case report].

Adnexal carcinomas are rare, accounting for less than 1% of skin carcinomas. Sclerosus carcinoma of the sweat glands was first described by Goldstein et al. in 1982.

Clinical and Dermoscopic Approaches to Diagnosis of Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: Results From a Multicenter Study of the International Dermoscopy Society.

Introduction: Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a form of primary lymphocytic scarring alopecia characterized by a progressive recession of the fronto-temporal hairline. Although the clinical presentation of FFA is very typical, biopsy for histopathological examination is still recommended to confirm the diagnosis. Currently, a growing number of skin and mucosal inflammatory diseases are diagnosed with modern noninvasive techniques such as dermoscopy without the necessity of a biopsy.

Clinical and histological patterns and treatment of pyoderma gangrenosum.

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare inflammatory neutrophilic dermatosis for which accurate epidemiological data are limited and therapy remains a challenge. The primary study's aim was to examine all cases of PG observed in our department over a 6-year period in order to describe the relevant characteristics and outcome under therapy. Fourteen patients were included (5 women, 9 men).

Idiopathic harlequin syndrome: a case report and literature review.

Harlequin's syndrome is a rare dysautonomic syndrome of the face characterized by sweating with flush of one side and anhidrosis of the contralateral side. Mostly idiopathic although several secondary cases have been reported in the literature, the purpose of the treatment is mainly aesthetic and functional. We report the case of a patient having harlequin syndrome in its idiopathic form with a literature review.

[Unexpected positive outcome following rituximab treatment in a patient with pemphigus vegetans resistant to conventional therapies: a case report].

Pemphigus vegetans is a rare form of pemphigus. It accounts for only 2%. There is a broad range of effective options available to treat this disease: topical and/or oral corticosteroids as first-line treatment, immunosuppressants such as Azathioprine, Cyclosporine, Methotrexate, Cyclophosphamide and Mycophenolate mofetil to reduce the side effects of steroids.

A prospective study of tinea capitis in children: making the diagnosis easier with a dermoscope.

Introduction: Tinea capitis is a scalp infection caused by different fungi. Etiological diagnosis is based on suggestive clinical findings and confirmation depends on the fungus growth in culture. However, it is not always possible to perform this test due to lack of availability.

[Localized scleroderma: about 24 cases].

Morphea, also known as localized scleroderma, is defined as a sclerosus skin condition that can extend to the subcutaneous tissue but with no Raynaud's phenomenon or visceral involvement. Some clinical forms may have a functional and aesthetic impact, hence the interest of treatment of early stage inflammation. We here describe the epidemio-clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary features of different forms of morphea, by reporting a series of 24 cases.

Beyond classic dermoscopic patterns of dermatofibromas: a prospective research study.

Background: The usual stereotypical dermoscopic pattern associated with dermatofibromas is a pigment network and central white patch. However, this pattern may be difficult to diagnose in some variant cases. We aimed to describe dermoscopic patterns of dermatofibroma according to its histopathological subtypes, with special emphasis on new and rare dermoscopic features.

Dermoscopic Analysis of Nevus Sebaceus of Jadassohn: A Study of 13 Cases.

Background: Nevus sebaceus of Jadassohn (NSJ) is a complex cutaneous hamartoma with various clinical appearances.

Aim: To describe different dermoscopic patterns of this nevus according to its evolutionary stages.

Methods: This was an analytical study of NSJ carried out in the Department of Dermatology at the University Hospital Hassan II, Fez, Morocco.

Pediatric psoriasis: Should we be concerned with comorbidity? Cross-sectional study.

Background: Similarly to psoriasis in adults, recent research has linked psoriasis to several comorbidities in children. The aim of this study was therefore to describe comorbidities associated with pediatric psoriasis, to investigate their relationship with psoriasis characteristics and severity, and to perform a review of the literature.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on a sample of Moroccan children with psoriasis, in 2014-2016.

[The role of dermoscopy in the diagnosis of basosquamous carcinoma].

Basosquamous carcinoma (BSC) is a rare skin cancer which has areas of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and a transition zone between them. However, dermoscopic features of BSC are not well described in the literature, except for two studies. The aim of this case study was to better identify and clarify the role of dermoscopy in the diagnosis of BSC, although histological confirmation is necessary.

Pemphigus: use of the Japanese severity index in 56 Moroccan patients.

Introduction: In pemphigus, there still is no consensus on parameters mesuring clinically the disease severity. The aim of this study is to use the Japanese severity index in Moroccan patients with pemphigus.

Methods: Multicenter prospective study from September 2007 to September 2009 including consecutive patients with confirmed pemphigus.

Multifocal tuberculosis revealed by multiple cutaneous gummas in the immunocompetent.

Cutaneous tuberculosis is rare. Its occurrence in multifocal tuberculosis (MT) is uncommon and happens frequently in the context of immunosuppression. We report the case of MT with multiple cutaneous gummas and bone and lung involvement that occurred in an apparently immunocompetent patient.
