Shingles in HIV: Outcome and discovery.

Herpes zoster (HZ) is a frequent manifestation in people living with HIV (PLHIV), with a significantly higher incidence compared to the general population. It often presents as an early indicator of immunosuppression, making timely diagnosis and treatment crucial. This retrospective study, conducted from January 2015 to September 2024, analyzed 45 PLHIV diagnosed with HZ.

Primary Cutaneous Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma: A Misdiagnosed Tumor.

Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PCACC) is a rare, slow-growing adnexal skin tumor with about 250 documented cases. We present a case involving a 66-year-old woman who was treated with ovulation inductors 30 years ago and underwent surgeries for meningioma 20 years ago and invasive galactophoric adenocarcinoma of the left breast 12 years ago. She presented with a gradually enlarging, solid, skin-colored tumor on her scalp, located along an old surgical scar initially diagnosed as a keloid by her surgeon.

Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Clinico-Dermoscopic and Histological Correlation: About 72 Cases.

Introduction: Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common skin cancer, accounting for 20% of malignant skin tumors. Dermoscopy is a very useful tool for diagnosing cSCC, and its findings are confirmed through histopathological studies.

Objectives: to describe the different dermoscopic structures of invasive cSCC and investigate their association with the clinical form and histopathological grade of differentiation.

Primary Cutaneous Malignant Perivascular Epithelioïd Cell Tumor (PEComa): Case Report With Review of the Literature.

Perivascular epithelioïd cell tumor (PEComa) is a mesenchymal neoplasm with epithelioïd or spindled morphology with numerous thin-walled capillaries between tumor cells. They co-express markers of both melanocytic and smooth muscle differentiation. PEComas are rare, presenting in numerous anatomic sites including lung, kidney, liver, genitourinary tract, soft tissue, and skin.

Clinical and Dermoscopic Approaches to Diagnosis of Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: Results From a Multicenter Study of the International Dermoscopy Society.

Introduction: Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a form of primary lymphocytic scarring alopecia characterized by a progressive recession of the fronto-temporal hairline. Although the clinical presentation of FFA is very typical, biopsy for histopathological examination is still recommended to confirm the diagnosis. Currently, a growing number of skin and mucosal inflammatory diseases are diagnosed with modern noninvasive techniques such as dermoscopy without the necessity of a biopsy.

Cutaneous tuberculosis in children from the northeastern region of Morocco.

Introduction: In Morocco, tuberculosis is an endemic disease. The aim of this study was to trace the epidemiological, paraclinical, therapeutic, and progressive characteristics of cutaneous tuberculosis (CT) in children.

Materials And Method: This multicenter retrospective and prospective study concerned all pediatric patients followed for CT in our region.

Clinical and histological patterns and treatment of pyoderma gangrenosum.

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare inflammatory neutrophilic dermatosis for which accurate epidemiological data are limited and therapy remains a challenge. The primary study's aim was to examine all cases of PG observed in our department over a 6-year period in order to describe the relevant characteristics and outcome under therapy. Fourteen patients were included (5 women, 9 men).

Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas: a rare entity in children.

Solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPTs) constitute 0.2 to 2.7% of non-endocrine primary tumors of the pancreas and comprise the majority (70%) of pediatric pancreatic neoplasms.

[Lichenoid drug eruption with antituberculosis drugs associated with an anonychia].

Introduction: Lichenoid cutaneous reactions to antituberculosis drugs are rare. Herein we report a new case.

Patients And Methods: A 41-year-old patient was seen for a profuse and pruriginous rash occurring 2 weeks after administration of rifampicin and isoniazid for pulmonary tuberculosis.

Addictive behaviors, cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities in North African psoriatic patients: case-control study.

We propose to study the epidemiological aspects of North African psoriasis and determine the cardiovascular comorbidities and addictive behaviors associated with psoriasis. This is a North African case-control study which was conducted over a five year period (October 2008 through August 2013), involving 671 psoriatic patients and 1,242 controls identified in various Algerian, Tunisian and Moroccan university hospitals. For each patient, epidemiological characteristic, addictive behaviors, and cardiovascular pathologies associated with psoriasis were noted.

[Descriptive dermoscopic study of a series of 100 patients with basal cell carcinoma diagnosed in Morocco].

Introduction: Dermatoscopy is an innovative non-invasive technique for clinical morphology of pigmented lesions and skin tumor. The purpose of our study was to highlight the morphological and dermoscopic features of basal cell carcinoma (CBC) in our study population.

Methods: We conducted a prospective unicentric study over a period of 2 years.

[The role of the micrographic surgery in the management of basal cell carcinoma: experience in the Department of Dermatology, at the Hassan II University Hospital, Fes, Morocco].

Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is a technique allowing for intraoperative histologic assessment of surgical margin of malignant tumors. This study aims to highlight the role of MMS in the achievement of radical healing of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in our patients. We conducted a study of 29 patients with basal cell carcinoma of the face over a period of 5 years.

[Erysipelas associated with recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the labium majus after radiochemotherapy].

The erysipelas is a bacterial infection most frequently due to (85% of cases) streptococcus β-hemolytic of group A (SGA), resulting in non-necrotizing dermo-hypodermitis. Many factors may play a role in its occurrence such as general factors: diabetes, immunosuppression, chemotherapy, radiotherapy as well as locoregional ports of entry such as leg ulcer, an insect bite, intertrigo. The occurrence of erysipelas associated with recurrent squamous cell carcinoma after radiochemotherapy is exceptional, requiring early treatment of dermo-hypodermitis as well as suitable and multidisciplinary management of the carcinoma.
