Introduction: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory arthropathy associated with cutaneous psoriasis (PsO), first defined by Moll and Wright. Initially perceived as relatively benign, PsA is now recognized for its chronic, progressive, and destructive nature, significantly impacting patients' quality of life, similar to Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Globally, PsA represents about 20% of cases in early arthritis clinics, posing diagnostic and management challenges.

Background: Digital nerve injuries significantly affect hand function and quality of life, necessitating effective reconstruction strategies. Autologous nerve grafting remains the gold standard due to its superior biocompatibility, despite recent advancements in nerve conduits and allogenic grafts. This study aims to propose a novel zone-based strategy for donor nerve selection to improve outcomes in digital nerve reconstruction.

Desmoplastic melanoma is a rare and distinct subtype of cutaneous melanoma, it presents diagnostic challenges due to the lack of specific clinical features and overlapping histopathological characteristics with other malignancies, which necessitate careful clinicopathological correlation and advanced immunohistochemical profiling. While surgical excision remains the cornerstone of treatment, advances in precision medicine, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors, have shown promise in improving outcomes for unresectable and metastatic desmoplastic melanoma. We present a case study involving a 52-year-old woman misdiagnosed with a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor and later identified as desmoplastic melanoma through re-evaluation of histopathological and immunohistochemical findings.
