Melanoma is currently the most prevalent malignant neoplasm among adults and represents the second most common cancer in both sexes among individuals aged 0 to 39 years. This retrospective multicenter study delves into the distinctive clinical, anamnestic, histopathologic, and prognostic attributes of melanoma in Adolescent and Young Adults (AYA), defined as patients diagnosed at ≤40 years, across four Italian centers. Through a computer-based review of clinical records from 1 January 2010 to 30 September 2023, AYA melanomas were contrasted with non-AYA melanomas (>40 years) among 1452 patients.

- Folliculitis decalvans (FD) is a rare condition primarily affecting middle-aged men, marked by specific symptoms like pustules and scarring.
- The study compares the diagnostic effectiveness of reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) and trichoscopy in assessing FD in 24 patients, focusing on features like inflammation and fibrosis.
- Results indicate that RCM provides more detailed insights into the inflammatory process and is highly reproducible, suggesting that combining RCM with trichoscopy could improve diagnosis and treatment strategies for FD.
Background: Guselkumab is a monoclonal antibody approved for treating moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Long-term data on the effectiveness and safety of guselkumab in a real-world setting are still limited.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a 104-week monocentric retrospective study on 102 psoriasis patients, all treated with guselkumab for at least 16 weeks.
