Background: Delayed reactions to hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers have been reported following various immunologic and infectious triggers.
Aim: Herein, we describe cases of delayed immunologic reactions (DIRs) following HA-soft tissue augmentation fillers precipitated by triggers not previously described in the literature. Patients: Case 1 describes a 57-year-old female with DIR to HA-filler following a motor vehicle accident in the marionette lines and nasolabial folds.
Management of a large basal cell carcinoma masquerading as psoriasis using Mohs and serial excisions.
SAGE Open Med Case Rep
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most prevalent form of skin cancer, often manifesting as a scaly red patch, particularly in its superficial subtype.
- The case report highlights an elderly patient whose large BCC on the left scalp was mistakenly treated as plaque psoriasis for years.
- It emphasizes the importance of scouting biopsies for accurate cancer mapping and discusses serial excisions via Mohs micrographic surgery as an effective treatment option for large BCCs located in high-tension areas.
Minimizing Medical Error-Related Adverse Events With Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Protocolized Approach to Safety.
J Drugs Dermatol
September 2024
Platelet-rich concentrates (PRCs), derived from a patient's blood, are being used in various fields of medicine, including dermatology, for an increasing number of indications. Although considered a generally safe procedure for dermatologic indications, there have been reports in the last several years linking this treatment to cases of blood-borne infections including HIV and hepatitis.1 Patient safety should always be the primary focus for physicians and other health care professionals, and systems-based protocols should exist within care settings to minimize errors.

- Desmoplastic trichoepithelioma (DTE) is a rare benign skin tumor that can look like malignant conditions, making diagnosis challenging.
- A systematic review of 338 DTE cases highlighted that Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) showed a 0% recurrence rate, significantly outperforming other treatments like standard excision (13.1% recurrence) and electrosurgery (2.1%).
- The findings suggest that MMS is the best option for treating DTEs, especially since these tumors are often located in sensitive cosmetic areas.
Background: Keratoacanthomas (KAs) following laser treatment are a rare, but well-described entity.
Aim: Herein, we describe a case of eruptive keratoacanthoma (KA) following laser resurfacing treatment and aim to better characterize laser-associated KAs.
Methods: A literature search was performed on PubMed reviewing laser-associated KAs including various characteristics: epidemiology, history of skin cancer, location, and number, type of laser, as well as the management and outcome.
Repair of a multi-subunit defect of the nasal ala, perialar cheek, and apical triangle of the upper lip.
SAGE Open Med Case Rep
August 2023
A 67-year-old female was treated for a left nasal ala basal cell carcinoma; post-Mohs defect was 1.5 × 1.5 cm and extended to involve the perialar cheek and apical triangle of the upper lip.
