Article Synopsis
- Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a rare type of skin cancer caused by mature cytotoxic T cells, primarily affecting adults around 46.5 years old, with a notable female predominance.
- A study of 16 patients revealed common symptoms like nodular lesions on the legs and trunk, with a majority showing positive indicators of immune cell activity.
- Initial treatment often involved oral steroids alone or with other medications, leading to an 85% complete response rate, and SPTCL has a favorable prognosis with a 5-year survival rate of 85.7%.
Agminated melanocytic nevus is an uncommon type of mole, characterized by a local group of macular or papular pigmented lesions, well demarcated, without a common pigmented background. This pattern has also been associated with Spitz nevi, dysplastic melanocytic nevi, and non-melanocytic lesions.We describe the onset of an acquired agminated melanocytic nevus after dabrafenib treatment.

Objective: In order to analyze the prevalence of KS in patients transplanted at the Cruces Hospital in Bilbao, together with their clinical features, treatment, and etiologic factors, we performed a study using the registry of RTRs in our center.
Methods: The records of 1,230 kidney transplant patients at the Cruces Hospital between 1979 and 1998 were reviewed.
