Basal cell carcinomas are common facial malignancies with minimally invasive treatment approaches effective in the majority of cases. Recurrent aggressive lesions pose significant challenges and need wide local excision with major reconstruction. Geriatric patient with multiple comorbidities needs customized reconstructions to minimize morbidity.

A Novel COL7A1 Mutation in a Patient With Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa. Successful Treatment With Upadacitinib.

Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is a heterogeneous and rare genetic skin disease caused by mutations in the gene, which encodes Type VII collagen. The absence or dysfunction of Type VII collagen can cause the dense lower layer of the basal membrane zone of the skin to separate from the dermis, leading to blister formation and various complications. In different DEB subtypes, the severity of the phenotype is associated, to some extent, with the outcome of Type VII collagen caused by mutations in the gene, which may be reduced in expression, remarkably reduced, or completely absent.

Background: Basal cell nevus syndrome, also known as Gorlin or Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, is a hereditary condition caused by mutation in the PATCHED gene. The syndrome presents with a wide range of clinical manifestations, including basal cell carcinomas, jaw cysts, and skeletal anomalies. Diagnosis is based on specific criteria, and treatment typically includes surgical removal of basal cell carcinomas.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC), the most common skin malignancy, typically occurs in sun-exposed areas but can develop in atypical locations, such as scars, burns, and skin graft donor sites. BCC arising specifically in full-thickness skin graft donor sites is exceptionally rare. This study presents a unique case of BCC occurring 16 years post-graft harvesting and provides a comprehensive literature review to analyze clinical patterns, possible etiopathogenesis, and treatment strategies.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory esophageal disorder. The lack of non-invasive biomarkers currently results in dependency on endoscopy with biopsies for its diagnosis and monitoring. We aimed to identify potential non-invasive biomarkers using microRNAs (miRNAs) in plasma-derived extracellular vesicles (pEVs).
