Background: Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is characterized by the presence of telangiectases and larger arteriovenous malformations in different organs. Mucocutaneous telangiectases can bleed and become an aesthetic concern, impairing quality of life (QoL). However, the best treatment approach has not been defined yet.

- Dermatological conditions pose significant health challenges, prompting the use of machine learning (ML) for diagnostic support in identifying skin diseases, particularly skin cancer.
- This study validated an ML model by assessing its accuracy in diagnosing 44 skin diseases and comparing results with those of General Practitioners (GPs) and teledermatologists in a real-life patient setting.
- While the overall accuracy of the ML model (39%) was lower than that of GPs (64%) and dermatologists (72%), it showed improved performance with certain trained diagnoses, demonstrating comparable Top-3 and Top-5 accuracy rates with clinicians.
Calcinosis cutis (CC) is characterized by deposit of calcium salts in the skin and subcutaneous tissue; its clinical presentation consists of indurated painful nodules, which can ulcerate and become superinfected. CC treatment remains a challenge, yet successful treatment with intralesional (IL) sodium thiosulfate (STS) has been reported in several CC subtypes. Herein we are reporting on a case series of 5 patients with CC successfully treated with IL-STS.
