Background: The use of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) for rare cutaneous tumors is poorly defined. We aim to describe the demographics, tumor presentation and topography, surgery characteristics and complications of MMS for rare cutaneous tumors in a national registry.
Methods: Prospective cohort study of patients treated with MMS in Spain between July 2013 and June 2018.
Article Synopsis
- - The study compares Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) outcomes for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), as prior research hadn't differentiated between the two types of tumors in this context.
- - Over 2,600 patients were followed, revealing that SCC patients were generally older and had larger tumors, with a higher incidence of incomplete surgeries and postoperative complications compared to BCC patients.
- - The findings highlight notable differences in MMS treatment, indicating that an understanding of these disparities can improve surgical planning and patient preparation for better outcomes.
Background: Acute guttate psoriasis (AGP) is a distinctive clinical entity with good response to treatment with narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB).
Objective: To investigate the results of NB-UVB phototherapy in adult patients with adult guttate psoriasis.
Material And Methods: We carried out a prospective, open, and observational study.
The phototherapy is a safe and effective technique for the treatment of adult patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). The treatment of chronic forms of the disease is most often done with narrow-band UVB (NB-UVB). There also exist effective phototherapy options against the AD.
