Most relapses in melanoma patients occur during the first five years after diagnosis. Identifying characteristics associated with recurrence after this period could help delineate guidelines, specifically for follow-up protocols. Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the prognostic factors for relapse and death caused by melanoma in patients who have been disease-free for five years.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with DFSP at our hospital that underwent ultrasound examination. Depth of invasion was evaluated by ultrasound and histopathology.
Small renal mass incidentally diagnosed are common findings nowadays due to the widespread of imaging. Renal mass biopsy is still underutilized by urologists due to its non-diagnostic rates. Confocal microscopy allows for rapid imaging of fresh tissue samples.

- Papillary hemangioma (PH) is a rare, non-cancerous tumor primarily found on the scalp and face, mostly in adults.
- The text discusses a unique case of PH occurring in a child.
- It also highlights specific sonographic features that could help in diagnosing this condition.
Background: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) typically affects the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The subcutaneous variant is rare.
Objective: We sought to characterize the subcutaneous DFSP (SC-DFSP) variant and compare it with cutaneous DFSP (C-DFSP).
