Background: 2-(Thiocyanomethylthio)benzothiazole (TCMTB) is a fungicide product widely used in the leather industry, particularly since the 1990s. However, reports of allergic contact dermatitis triggered by this chemical are scarce.
Objectives: To investigate three cases of dermatitis following contact with leather products, possibly related to TCMTB.

Although current systemic therapies significantly improved the outcome of advanced melanoma, the prognosis of patient with central nervous system (CNS) metastases remains poor especially when clinically symptomatic. We aimed to investigate the efficiency of CNS targets and tolerance of second-line combined anti-PD1/dual-targeted anti-BRAF/anti-MEK therapy implemented in patients with CNS progression after initially efficient first-line combined targeted therapy in patients with BRAF-mutated melanoma in a real-life setting. A monocentric retrospective analysis including all such patients treated from January 2017 to January 2022 was conducted in our tertiary referral center.

- - The text discusses techniques for reconstructing significant defects in the upper half of the external ear after cancer surgery in elderly patients.
- - It recommends single-stage procedures for reconstruction instead of multiple surgeries, focusing on efficiency and patient comfort.
- - Utilizing flaps with good blood supply, such as the revolving door post-auricular flap and mastoid advancement flap, offers a promising method for creating a durable ear shape in one surgery.
Background: Anti-PD1 agents are currently recommended as first-line treatment in advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (acSCC) by updated European guidelines. Although acSCC frequently affects elderly patients with multiple comorbidities, this subset of patients is often excluded of registration clinical trials.
Purpose: To assess anti-PD-1 efficacy and safety in elderly acSCC patients in real-life conditions and describe this specific population with oncogeriatric evaluation tools.
Background: Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) and photoallergic contact dermatitis (PACD) to benzophenone present in printing ink have been reported. However, precise chemical analyses and extended photo-patch tests have not been performed in these cases.
Objectives: To determine which components present in a magazine cover are responsible for a patient's skin reaction, to determine the primary sensitizer, and precisely diagnose ACD and PACD.
Granulomatous dermatitis following the administration of various vaccines has previously been reported. However, cases of cutaneous granulomatosis following the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine have not yet been reported. We report the case of a 3-year-old boy with a granuloma annulare-like reaction following MMR vaccination.
