Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on malignant cutaneous adnexal tumors (MCATs), which are difficult to diagnose, examining their clinical characteristics and treatment options in 26 patients.
- - Most patients were older adults, predominantly male, with tumors mainly located on the face, and a significant number derived from sweat glands; some had complications like perineural invasion indicating more severe disease.
- - The findings suggest that MCATs are becoming more common with age, especially in men, and emphasize that wide surgical resection is the primary treatment method.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the effects of surgeries conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on infection rates and patient demographics.
- A total of 639 patients were reviewed, with most being male (60.4%) and an average age of 43; malignancy and trauma were the leading reasons for surgery.
- Infection rates for COVID-19 were low during the study period, suggesting that surgeries can be safely performed with appropriate precautions.
