Squamous cell carcinoma in solid organ transplant recipients: Review of the literature.

Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) exhibit an elevated incidence and aggressiveness of squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) due to their immunosuppression. These tumors are associated with a heightened risk of metastasis and increased mortality. Therefore, an appropriate management of these patients is essential to improve their prognosis.

Prognostic Outcomes of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients: A Retrospective Comparative Cohort Study.

Introduction: Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common cutaneous neoplasm, and its incidence is on the rise. While most cSCCs have an excellent prognosis, certain risk factors, especially immunosuppression, have been associated with higher rates of local recurrence (LR), metastasis, and poor prognosis. This study aims to assess the risk factors for LR and metastasis development in cSCC among solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) and compare these rates with those in immunocompetent patients.

Risk of Second Primary Malignancies in Melanoma Survivors: A Population-Based Study.

(1) Introduction: The association between melanoma (MM) and the occurrence of second primary neoplasms (SPNs) has been extensively studied, with reported incidence rates ranging from 1.5% to 20%. This study aims to evaluate the occurrence of SPNs in patients with a history of primary MM and to describe the factors that make the risk higher in our population.

Nd:YAG Q-switched laser for the treatment of a hemicorporal epidermal nevus: A safe and effective option.

Epidermal nevi are benign proliferations of the epidermis for which different treatments have been used with disappointing results due to their recurrences and anesthetic scars. Topical therapies have generally been ineffective and surgical treatment provides more definitive results, but with high risk of scarring. In recent years, multiple laser modalities have been described for the treatment of these lesions.

Accelerated photoaging induced by voriconazole treated with Q-switched Nd:YAG laser: case report and review of the literature.

Voriconazole is an antifungal agent mainly used against aspergillosis. Given its wide spectrum of action and limited adverse effects, it has replaced amphotericin B as the drug of choice in the prophylactic treatment of immunocompromised patients. Several adverse effects are caused by this drug with dermatological reactions accounting for 6% of the total.

Tranexamic acid-induced toxic epidermal necrolysis.

Objective: To report a case of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) induced by orally administered tranexamic acid in a patient with liver cirrhosis and acute rectal bleeding.

Case Summary: A 67-year-old male with a history of liver cirrhosis due to alcohol consumption with ascitic decompensation, esophageal varices, and multifactorial renal insufficiency presented with rectal bleeding. The patient was prescribed oral tranexamic acid (1000 mg every 8 hours), with partial resolution of symptoms.
