Article Synopsis
- - Cylindromas are uncommon, non-cancerous tumors mostly found on the scalp and face, and they are more common in women, appearing usually in people in their 20s or 30s.
- - These tumors can appear as either single or multiple nodules; multiple ones are often associated with mutations in the CYLD gene, especially in a condition called CYLD cutaneous syndrome.
- - A case study is presented involving a 61-year-old man with multiple cylindromas on his scalp, which led to genetic testing and the discovery of a new harmful variant in the CYLD gene.
Article Synopsis
- - The article discusses the complexities of laser surgery, focusing on the risks and complications that can arise during procedures on patients with darker skin types (Fitzpatrick phototypes IV to VI).
- - Higher Fitzpatrick phototypes have unique biological traits that increase their vulnerability to complications during laser treatments, highlighting the importance of specialized knowledge in this area.
- - The research calls for improved expertise and a cautious approach to laser surgery for individuals with darker skin to enhance patient safety and treatment outcomes.
We presents an unique and significant case of Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis (AGEP) associated with the use of tadalafil, a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor for erectile dysfunction. AGEP, typically linked to antibiotics and antiepileptics, had not been previously reported with tadaladil in the MEDLINE database. The case involved a 40-year-old male who developed an erythematous rash, fever and sterile pustules after starting tadalafil.
