Calcinosis Cutis Associated with Chronic Sclerodermoid Graft versus Host Disease: A Case and Review of the Literature.

We present a rare case of calcinosis cutis associated with chronic sclerodermoid graft versus host disease in a 59-year-old male, 13 years following allogenic bone marrow transplantation. The etiology of calcification was thought to be dystrophic. Further research is needed to understand the link between calcinosis cutis and chronic sclerodermoid graft versus host disease to assist with selecting appropriate management for these patients.

Resilience on the Run: an evaluation of a well-being programme for medical interns.

Background: Junior doctors experience high rates of psychological distress and burnout. System-level interventions are one strategy to reduce psychological distress in junior doctors. Unfortunately, few of these interventions have been evaluated.

Unstable solar lentigo: A defined separate entity.

An unstable solar lentigo is a solar lentigo with areas of melanocytic hyperplasia not extending past the margin of the lesion. They are discrete, macular, pigmented lesions arising on sun-damaged skin and a subset of typical solar lentigos. Clinically they differ from usual solar lentigines in often being solitary or larger and darker than adjacent solar lentigines.

Tele-Derm National: A decade of teledermatology in rural and remote Australia.

Objective: To identify the current scope of Tele-Derm, the types of dermatological complaints experienced in the rural primary care setting, and to assess the quality of patient clinical information provided to the consultant dermatologist.

Design: Retrospective case analysis.

Setting: Tele-Derm National is an initiative of the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine and has been providing online educational and consultational services in dermatology to doctors Australia-wide for over a decade.

Does pregnancy after a diagnosis of melanoma affect prognosis? Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Whether pregnancy after diagnosis of melanoma affects a woman's prognosis is unknown. The authors conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to answer this question.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of a subsequent pregnancy on cause-specific death and recurrence of melanomas.

Red-white and blue baby: a case of phacomatosis pigmentovascularis type V.

Phacomatosis pigmentovascularis is a rare genodermatosis characterized by the combination of an extensive pigmentary nevus with a widespread vascular nevus. The coexistence of aberrant dermal melanocytosis and cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita has been termed phacomatosis pigmentovascularis type V or phacomatosis cesiomarmorata. Phacomatosis pigmentovascularis type V was first described in a 3-month-old boy in 2000.

Melanoma survival is superior in females across all tumour stages but is influenced by age.

Among patients with invasive melanoma, females are known to have higher survival than males globally. However, this survival advantage has not been explored in thin melanomas, the most common form of the disease. In addition, it is unclear if this advantage is true across all age groups.

Dermatological reactions to ophthalmic preparations: more than meets the eye.

Ophthalmic preparations are commonly used medications that have been implicated in causing a variety of dermatological reactions. These reactions include toxic epidermal necrolysis, anaphylaxis, fixed drug eruption, lichenoid drug reaction and local and systemic contact dermatitis. This article reviews the dermatological and systemic reactions associated with ophthalmic preparation use and highlights the need for a thorough medication history to be done for all patients presenting with a suspected drug reaction.

Toxic epidermal necrolysis caused by over the counter eyedrops.

We present a case of a 15-year-old boy who developed toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) from sulfacetamide eyedrops. He presented with conjunctival injection and an erythematous rash that rapidly progressed to epidermal necrosis of over 30% of his body. A skin biopsy revealed an acute lichenoid reaction pattern consistent with TEN.

Early melanoma with halo eczema (Meyerson's phenomenon).

We present a case of a 49-year-old man who presented with a solitary atypical pigmented lesion with a surrounding halo of dermatitis. Dermoscopy showed a pigment network at the periphery with areas of scar-like depigmentation, negative pigment network and erythema. The lesion was treated preoperatively with a potent topical corticosteroid resulting in a reduction of inflammation.
