Background: Cutaneous syncytial myoepithelioma (CSM) is an uncommon and distinct variant of cutaneous myoepithelioma. We aim to present a case of CSM to enhance the recognition of this unique variant, encompassing its clinical characteristics, histopathological features, immunohistochemical staining, and therapeutic approaches.
Case Presentation: A 10-year-old girl presented with a dome-shaped nodule located on the skin of her left medial distal arm.

Bortezomib is the first proteasome inhibitor to treat a variety of malignancies and is currently part of the standard of care regimen for the initial treatment of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

We proposed that administering an antibody that blocks RAGE will hasten the healing of dorsal wounds in diabetic pigs compared with a non-immune IgG. Two purpose-bred diabetic (D) Yucatan minipigs (Sinclair, Auxvasse MO) each underwent 12 2 × 2 cm full thickness dorsal wounds: four wounds received decellularized porcine skin patches (Xylyx Bio, Bklyn NY): four anti-RAGE Ab (CR-3) infused patches, four saline infused patches and four wounds were left open.
