Electronic brachytherapy management of atypical fibroxanthoma: report of 8 lesions.

Purpose: To evaluate the suitability of treating atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX), an uncommon skin malignancy, with electronic brachytherapy.

Material And Methods: From Feb 2013 to Sep 2014, we were referred a total of 8 cases of AFX in 7 patients, all involving the scalp. All of them were treated with electronic brachytherapy 50 Kev radiations (Xoft Axxent, Fremont, California).

Clinical and histopathologic findings in cutaneous sting ray wounds: a case report.

Human injuries related to stingray attacks include deep puncture wounds, envenomation, and foreign body reactions owing to retained tail fragments. Herein we report a patient who sustained a stingray injury that produced a subcutaneous granulomatous dermatitis and panniculitis with necrobiosis and review the topic of stingray injuries.

Active wound coverings: bioengineered skin and dermal substitutes.

Extensive skin loss and chronic wounds present a significant challenge to the clinician. With increased understanding of wound healing, cell biology, and cell culture techniques, various synthetic dressings and bioengineered skin substitutes have been developed. These materials can protect the wound, increase healing, provide overall wound coverage, and improve patient care.
