Evaluation of Associated Lymphomas and Their Risk Factors in Patients with Lymphomatoid Papulosis: A Retrospective Single-Center Study from Turkey.

Objective: Lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) is an indolent skin disease with variable clinical features classified among the primary cutaneous CD30+ T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders. It may show association with cutaneous and systemic lymphomas. We aimed to identify the frequency and characteristics of associated lymphomas among Turkish patients with LyP and to determine the risk factors for secondary lymphomas.

Large Congenital Melanocytic Nevus on the Breast Sparing the Nipple and Areola.

Background: Divided nevus is a rare entity that has been described for a special appearance of congenital melanocytic nevi (CMNs) occurring on the eyelid and penis. It is presumed that the formation of divided nevi is related with the embryologic development of the eyelid and penis, thus giving a hint about the occurrence time of CMN in utero. This article focuses on a formerly undescribed observation of another special clinical appearance of CMN discussing possible relation with embryogenesis.

Hyper-IgE syndrome with widespread premalign oral papillomas treated with interferon alpha2b.

We report a case of a 7-year-old girl with hyperimmunoglobulin-E syndrome presenting with widespread oral papillomas which were tested for human papilloma virus DNA and had shown to be at high/intermediate risk group for malignancy. She had elevated levels of IgE, recurrent sinopulmonary infections, atopic-like dermatitis, peripheral eosinophilia and defective neutrophil chemotaxis. Interferon alfa 2b therapy and chemoprophylaxis with sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim was given.
