Dermatologic manifestations in paediatric neurofibromatosis type 2: a cross sectional descriptive multicentric study.

Background: Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is characterized by bilateral vestibular schwannoma (VS) more often in adults but a severe paediatric form with multiple neurological tumours is also described. In this population, a early diagnosis is important to prevent the onset of neurological complications but is difficult, particularly without a familial history. Cutaneous manifestations, which may precede VS or neurological tumours by several years, may contribute to an early diagnosis, but specific studies are lacking.

Integrated multidisciplinary approach to hidradenitis suppurativa in clinical practice,

Background: The European hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) guidelines recommend a multidisciplinary approach for patients with HS and management of comorbidities.

Objective: We aimed to describe the organization of a multidisciplinary HS program and characterize the patient population.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of patients with HS undergoing prospectively defined multidisciplinary work-up including examinations by a dermatologist, plastic surgeon, smoking specialist, and nutritionist in our outpatient unit between October 2015 and January 2017.
