- Angiosarcoma, known as Stewart-Treves syndrome (STS), is a rare but deadly cancer that can develop in tissues affected by long-term lymphedema, and this review compiles data on its traits and outcomes alongside other skin cancers related to lymphedema.
- A total of 369 patients were analyzed, with 89.7% having STS, mostly affecting middle-aged women and associated with prior cancer and radiation history; STS typically appears 14.9 years after lymphedema onset, with a significant mortality rate.
- Treatment choice significantly impacts survival, with surgical excision leading to better outcomes than radiotherapy, highlighting the need for more research on the underlying causes and management strategies
Background: Palisaded neutrophilic granulomatous dermatitis is a rare inflammatory dermatosis with possible underlying systemic conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune connective tissue disease, and malignancies.
Case Summary: We report a case of an 84-year-old man presenting with a 3-week eruption of asymptomatic annular plaques on his neck, which progressed to involve his back and legs. Skin biopsies confirmed a diagnosis of palisaded neutrophilic granulomatous dermatitis, and he was treated with prednisone.
