Cutaneous angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive malignant tumor that originates from the endothelial cells of blood vessels or lymphatic vessels. More than half of cutaneous angiosarcoma cases occur in the head and neck regions, particularly on the scalp. However, due to its rarity, scalp angiosarcoma is often overlooked in clinical practice.

This case discusses an 85-year-old patient with a history of cataract causing severe right eye vision impairment and repeated surgeries for a basal cell carcinoma (BCC) on the right temple and its local recurrences (wide local excision in 2010; re-excision and reconstruction with a skin graft in 2017), who presented with progressive growth and extension of the skin tumour. Upon examination, an irregular, erythematous plaque with multiple ulcerations on the surface (the largest measuring 4 × 3 cm on the left temple) was observed. The lesion extended from one temple to the other, over the forehead, along the margins of the surgical skin graft, and invaded the upper left eyelid, with a protruding mass extending out of the orbit.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors, now widely used in treating various malignancies, increase the risk of autoimmune reactions and immune-related adverse events (irAEs), with skin toxicities being the most frequent. These agents enhance the immune response against tumors by blocking the suppression of cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Here, we report a rare case of generalized cutaneous lichen planus induced by atezolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor administered for small cell lung cancer.

The present work regards a unique yet study of 3D structured surface evolution of nano-balls and walls-like features with thickness variation, for tungsten oxide (WO) thin films made by spray deposition. Since in most optoelectronic applications the surface morphology and structure play a crucial role and WO is one of the most studied and used metal oxide semiconductors in a significant variety of optoelectronic applications, a detailed study of recently observed and reported unique 3D complex architecture of WO coatings fabricated by spray pyrolysis (starting from different precursors) is of great importance for further development of thin film coatings and devices. In this scope, two different series of WO of 11 samples with different thicknesses each, starting from two tungsten peroxide precursor concentrations (0.

: Vulvar epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK) is an exceedingly rare dermatological condition, often presenting as solitary or multiple lesions in the vulvar region. Due to its clinical resemblance to other vulvar disorders, such as condyloma acuminatum, Bowenoid papulosis, and squamous cell carcinoma, vulvar EHK poses significant diagnostic challenges. While individual case reports and small case series have documented instances of vulvar EHK, comprehensive studies systematically consolidating the clinical, histopathological, and therapeutic aspects of this condition remain lacking.
