Keratoacanthomas (KA) and Spitz naevus (SN) are both lesions with unknown aetiology; therefore, the possibility of a viral involvement, more specifically the involvement of human polyomaviruses (HPyV), was investigated. In total, 22 cases of KA and 25 cases of SN were tested for the presence of HPyVs. DNA was extracted and amplified by multiplex PCR and thereafter tested with a multiplex bead-based assay for HPyVs (BKPyV, JCPyV, KIPyV, WUPyV, MCPyV, TSPyV, HPyV6, 7 and 9) and two primate viruses (SV40 and LPyV).

Background: Recently, the novel antimicrobial peptide named dermcidin (DCD) was reported in human eccrine sweat glands.
Objectives: We investigated the expression of DCD in a variety of cutaneous tumours in order to assess the usefulness of the monoclonal antibody (G-81), which recognizes a fragment of DCD.
Patients/methods: We studied the immunoreactivity of the G-81 antibody on 197 cutaneous tumours.

Nucleolus organizer regions are segments of DNA-coding ribosomal genes, which can be visualized histologically by a special silver staining technique as so-called AgNORs. Determination of the number and size of AgNORs provides quite a precise reflection of current cellular proliferation activity. We have examined the AgNOR expression in 228 melanocytic, epidermal and fibrohistiocytic lesions.

The AgNOR number (NN) and the AgNOR quotient (NQ) of 228 melanocytic, epidermal and fibrohistiocytic lesions were investigated by image analysis. In melanocytic nevi, dysplastic nevi and Spitz nevi, significantly less AgNORs were seen than in malignant melanomas and melanomas in situ. Significant differences in AgNOR expression were detected between the subtypes of melanoma, too.
