Retrospective study of germline variants in patients with hereditary melanoma study criteria in a real clinical practice setting.

Background: Five to twelve per cent of melanoma cases show aggregation of melanomas or other related tumours within the same family or individual. Genes such as CDKN2A or BAP1, among others, have been associated with this condition.

Objectives: To describe the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of patients in whom a germline genetic study was performed due to suspected hereditary melanoma.

Skin manifestations in patients hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19 disease: a cross-sectional study in a tertiary hospital.

Background: COVID-19 cutaneous manifestations have been recently described and classified in five different clinical patterns, including acral erythema-edema (pseudo-chilblain), maculopapular exanthemas, vesicular eruptions, urticarial lesions, and livedo or necrosis.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to examine the skin of hospitalized patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 disease and describe the real prevalence of skin manifestations.

Methods: A cross-sectional study, which included hospitalized patients in Cruces University Hospital from April 14-30, 2020, with a laboratory-confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 (with polymerase chain reaction and/or serology tests), was conducted.

Scombroid Poisoning: A Practical Approach.

Scombroid poisoning is a common cause of food poisoning worldwide. It is caused by ingestion of oily fish contaminated with bacteria that trigger the formation of high concentrations of histamine. Scombroid poisoning manifests mainly as a skin complaint (flushing that spreads downward and/or an erythematous urticarial rash affecting the face and upper trunk).

[A Case of Cutaneous Tuberculosis is Simulating Paraneoplastic Vasculitis].

We present the case of a patient with type T non-Hodgkin lymphoma, in clinical remission after treatment with chemo and radiotherapy, who was hospitalized due to hemorrhagic and necrotic skin lesions on his right hand and a clinical suspicion of paraneoplasic vasculitis. Nonetheless, study of the patient and complementary testing led to the diagnosis of disseminated tuberculosis with skin and lung involvement (cutaneous milliary tuberculosis). Anti-tuberculosis treatment was initiated with a satisfactory resolution of symptoms and signs.

Photoallergic hand eczema due to benzydamine.

Hand eczema is a very frequent pathology in Dermatology. We report the case of a 65-year-old woman who developed a photoallergic eczema on her hands due to benzydamine present in her gynecological washing solution. It is probably an under-diagnosed cause of hand dermatitis.
