Article Synopsis
- Spitz nevus is a rare benign tumor and this study examined its characteristics among Iranian patients from 2016-2021, focusing on demographics and histopathology.
- A total of 86 patients were studied, with a mean age of 15.6 years, and the most common locations were the upper extremities and face; most patients had disease durations of 1-2 years.
- The histopathological analysis showed different types of Spitz nevus, emphasizing the importance of further research in improving diagnostic methods.
Article Synopsis
- - Lichen planopilaris (LPP) is an inflammatory hair loss condition that often leads to irreversible scarring and can reactivate even after treatment, making early detection important for managing the disease.
- - This study assessed a new paper sign test, which involves combing hair over a white sheet to check for fallen hairs, comparing it to traditional methods based on clinical symptoms.
- - The results showed that the paper sign test allowed patients to detect reactivation of LPP sooner than those relying on clinical symptoms, indicating it is a reliable and practical method for early detection during remission.
Procalcitonin (PCT) is a peptide precursor of calcitonin, considered as an infection marker in many settings. Recently, a few studies reported its rise in some inflammatory processes such as still's disease, anaphylactic shock and Kawasaki disease. To investigate the serum level of PCT in patients with pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and examine the relationship between serum level of PCT and the severity of disease.

To enhance accurate diagnosis, non-invasive techniques including high-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) are crucial. HFUS offers deeper penetration compared to reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), and optical coherence tomography (OCT), making it valuable for examining skin structures.
