Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify dermoscopic features that distinguish melanoma in situ (MIS) from atypical nevi (ATN) and assess the role of genomic biomarkers in patient management.
- Between 2018 and 2023, researchers evaluated 56 melanomas, analyzing various clinical and dermoscopic features along with melanoma-associated genomic biomarkers.
- The results indicated that dermoscopic features alone could not effectively differentiate MIS from ATN, but genomic testing improved the distinction between lower and higher-risk lesions for better clinical decision-making.
Malignant glomus tumor is an exceedingly rare vascular malignancy of unclear etiology, which is believed to arise de novo or from malignant transformation of a benign glomus tumor. The authors present a case of an elderly woman evaluated for a painful 2.5-cm purple-brown tumor on the right forearm that grew rapidly within a long-standing, seemingly benign lesion.

The management of first-degree burns is limited to minor pain control whereas third-degree burns require skin grafting. However, second-degree/partial-thickness burns disrupt the epidermis and part of the dermis, thereby requiring acute wound care, pain control, and infection control.
