Agreement on classification of clinical photographs of pigmentary lesions: exercise after a training course with young dermatologists.

Smartphone apps may help promoting the early diagnosis of melanoma. The reliability of specialist judgment on lesions should be assessed. Hereby, we evaluated the agreement of 6 young dermatologists, after a specific training.

Erythrodermic psoriasis improved by Tildrakizumab.

Erythrodermic psoriasis (EP), clinically defined as prominent erythema and scaling affecting almost the entire skin surface, is a severe form and a rare variant of psoriasis. The treatment may require hospital admission with monitoring of vital signs and use of immunosuppressive drugs. Newer biological drugs, including anti-TNF, anti-IL- 17, and anti-IL-23 agents, even if not specifically developed for the treatment of erythrodermic psoriasis, have been used successfully in single cases or in small case series.

Angiosarcoma and Vascular Surgery: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Angiosarcomas (AS) are rare and aggressive neoplasms originating from the endothelium: they represent less than 2% of all soft tissue sarcomas and usually have a poor prognosis. Although more often primary, different risk factors have been described and some cases are associated with vascular surgery. We present the case of an 84-year-old man who developed an AS on his thigh 3 years after a popliteal bypass with autologous saphenous vein.

Keratolysis exfoliativa-like eruption induced by ranolazine.

Dermatoses affecting palms may represent a dermatologic challenge from both the diagnostic, and therapeutic point of view. Patients with supposedly occupational dermatitis can spend months or even years in a frustrating attempt to avoid contact with possible irritants or allergens. To underline the importance of a thorough unbiased analysis of the patient's history and clinical features, we present the iconic case of a bricklayer affected by a chronic, disabling desquamation of palms which in the end was classified as keratolysis exfoliativa (KE) attributed to ranolazine-intake, an antianginal drug.

Gender differences in genital lichen sclerosus: data from a multicenter Italian study on 729 consecutive cases.

Background: Studies specifically conducted to assess gender differences in genital lichen sclerosus (GLS) are not available. This multicenter study aimed to identify possible gender-related differences on GLS clinical features, history and course, through collecting data from a large mixed-sex sample of patients.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study on 729 subjects (53.

Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome.

Background: Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disease featuring osteopoikilosis and skin lesions. It is caused by genetic mutations in a protein deeply involved in bone and connective tissue morphogenesis.

Methods: We describe a 39-year-old woman with Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome.

Acute localized exanthematous pustulosis (ALEP) caused by amoxicillin-clavulanic acid.

A 40-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital for an acute outbreak of multiple pustular lesions with an underlying erythematous base affecting cheeks and chin. These lesions were referred to as "aching". The patient had been taking amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (3 g a day) over the past three days for oral prophylaxis for dental treatment.
