Angiosarcoma and Vascular Surgery: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Angiosarcomas (AS) are rare and aggressive neoplasms originating from the endothelium: they represent less than 2% of all soft tissue sarcomas and usually have a poor prognosis. Although more often primary, different risk factors have been described and some cases are associated with vascular surgery. We present the case of an 84-year-old man who developed an AS on his thigh 3 years after a popliteal bypass with autologous saphenous vein.

Keratolysis exfoliativa-like eruption induced by ranolazine.

Dermatoses affecting palms may represent a dermatologic challenge from both the diagnostic, and therapeutic point of view. Patients with supposedly occupational dermatitis can spend months or even years in a frustrating attempt to avoid contact with possible irritants or allergens. To underline the importance of a thorough unbiased analysis of the patient's history and clinical features, we present the iconic case of a bricklayer affected by a chronic, disabling desquamation of palms which in the end was classified as keratolysis exfoliativa (KE) attributed to ranolazine-intake, an antianginal drug.

Acral perineurioma: A case report of a rare neoplasm successfully treated with autologous skin graft reconstructive surgery.

Soft tissues perineurioma is a rare nerve sheath tumor that affects most of all the subcutaneous tissue. Even if it could present as a large mass, it is a benign neoplasm for which a complete surgical excision represents the gold standard treatment. Considering that it usually affects acral sites of young people, it can be challenging to perform a reconstructive surgery that allows a full functional recovery.
