A Peculiar Pattern: Nodular Secondary Syphilis with Granulomatous Dermatitis.

Nodular syphilis with a granulomatous inflammatory histopathologic pattern is an uncommon cutaneous presentation of secondary syphilis which could pose a diagnostic challenge for clinicians and pathologists alike. A 33-year-old male diagnosed with HIV presented with a 5-week history of asymptomatic generalized erythematous papules and nodules with overlying scales, with involvement of the palms and soles. Histopathologic examination of a nodule from the forearm revealed non-caseating granulomas in a background of a mixed cell inflammatory infiltrate composed of lymphocytes, epithelioid and foamy histiocytes, plasma cells, neutrophils, and multinucleated giant cells.

Clinicodemographic and Dermoscopic Features of Basal Cell Carcinoma among Filipino Patients Seen in a Tertiary Care Clinic.

Background: Dermoscopy enhances detection of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), especially for the pigmented subtype common among Asians. However, there is limited data on dermoscopic features of BCC in Filipinos.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to describe the clinicopathologic profile and dermoscopic features of BCC in Filipinos seen in a tertiary care clinic.

Clinical and Histopathologic Profile of Patients with Cutaneous Metastasis in a Tertiary Hospital in the Philippines.

Introduction: Cutaneous metastases represent 2% of skin tumors, with an overall incidence of 5.3%. Although rare, clinical presentations of cutaneous metastasis vary and can be mistaken for benign and malignant skin conditions.
