Prognostic factors for satellitosis or in-transit metastasis in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma: A multicentric cohort study.

Background: Satellitosis or in-transit metastasis (S-ITM) has clinical outcomes comparable to node-positivity in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). There is a need to stratify the risk groups.

Objective: To determine which prognostic factors of S-ITM confer an increased risk of relapse and cSCC-specific-death.

Assessment of the Effect of 3% Diclofenac Sodium on Photodamaged Skin by Means of Reflectance Confocal Microscopy.

Treatment of actinic keratosis with 3% diclofenac sodium w/w in hyaluronic acid is associated with a concomitant improvement in signs of photodamaged skin. However this effect has not yet been examined in depth. Twenty patients with actinic keratosis and signs of photodamaged skin were studied.

Glomuvenous malformations: dual PDL-Nd:YAG laser approach.

Glomuvenous malformations are uncommon simple vascular malformations that might be present at birth or appear during childhood that have been classically classified as a subtype of venous malformations. Sclerotherapy and surgery have been used in the past as treatments for this condition although with disappointing results in large glomangiomas. The treatment of these lesions has still not been standardized.

Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients With Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia.

This cohort study evaluates the association between frontal fibrosing alopecia and health-related quality of life.

Development and validation of the Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Severity Score.

Background: Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a scarring alopecia characterized by recession of the frontotemporal hairline and loss of the eyebrows.

Objective: To design and validate a scoring system to assess the severity of FFA.

Methods: The Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Severity Score (FFASS) was developed; criterion validity was assessed by the Investigator's Global Assessment, and construct validity was evaluated by the convergence of other measures of severity (the Patient's Global Assessment], the rest of the clinical features, the Lichen Planopilaris Activity Index, and quality of life measures (Dermatology Life Quality Index and Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale).

Bitemporal hair loss related to traction alopecia.

We present a 24-year-old woman that had received a diagnosis of alopecia areata in the past and was treated with topical 19 corticosteroids with little improvement. Instead, the patient exhibited bitemporal alopecia of one year of evolution related to 20 traction alopecia. Traction alopecia is characterized by localized hair loss related to persistent excessive traction.
