A woman with postmastectomy lymphoedema presented with purple-red nodules on the right upper arm. Histopathology of a skin biopsy showed a cutaneous angiosarcoma. Angiosarcoma arising in an oedematous arm is called the Stewart-Treves syndrome and is a rare and late complication of breast cancer treatment.

Epithelioid hemangioma is a rare benign vascular neoplasm. Recently, the term "multiple eruptive epithelioid hemangioma" has been proposed for epithelioid hemangioma with distinct features. It is different from usual epithelioid hemangioma because of the multifocal distributions in various body regions with an eruptive onset.

Background: Immunotherapy, especially anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 antibodies, have observably improved the overall survival of patients with advanced solid tumors following the unavoidable immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Camrelizumab is a novel anti-PD-1 agent with the reported most common irAEs of reactive cutaneous capillary endothelial proliferation (RCCEP). Despite it is widely occurred in the skin, oral RCCEP is rarely reported.

Background: -mediated hairy root transformation provides a powerful tool for investigating the functions of plant genes involved in rhizobia-legume symbiosis. However, in the traditional identification methods of transgenic hairy roots based on reporter genes, an expensive chemical substrate or equipment is required.

Results: Here, we report a novel, low cost, and robust reporter for convenient, non-destructive, and directly visual selection of transgenic hairy roots by naked eye, which can be used in the study of rhizobia-legume symbiosis.
