Congenital Bullous Syphilis: A Case Report from Italy and a Comprehensive Literature Review.

Congenital syphilis remains a significant global health concern, with severe morbidity and mortality if undiagnosed and untreated. Although many infants appear asymptomatic at birth, subtle clinical signs-including bullous lesions (congenital bullous syphilis, also known as pemphigus syphiliticus)-may facilitate early detection. Recognizing this rare manifestation is crucial for timely intervention, reducing serious outcomes.

Mohs micrographic technique in high-risk basal cell carcinoma: a 3D prediction of safety margins.

Objective: Compared with standard excision with a two-dimensional histological examination, Mohs micrographic surgery offers a lower recurrence rate and a greater extent of healthy tissue sparing for the treatment of high-risk basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The aims of this study were to first quantify the healthy tissue spared through the micrographic technique compared to traditional surgery for high-risk tumours. Then, to speculate, through the analysis of the distal micrographic resection margin, the adequate width of safety margins for standard excision.
