Patients with a lymphoma have an increased risk of developing a second lymphoproliferative disorder. The association of nodal Hodgkin lymphoma and primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma (MALT type) is exceptional, and only very few cases have been documented. Anetoderma represents a circumscribed loss or rarefication of elastic fibers. Different underlying processes may result in anetoderma, including cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma. We report a 50-year-old male patient with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated nodal Hodgkin lymphoma who presented with disseminated anetodermic skin lesions. Biopsies of the skin lesions revealed a B-cell infiltrate containing monoclonal plasma cells but without detection of EBV. The skin lesions represent an anetodermic form of primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma. It is the first case report of an association of anetodermic cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma and a synchronous EBV-associated nodal Hodgkin lymphoma.

Pythiosis is caused by the oomycete Pythium insidiosum. Within the United States, Pythiosis is most seen in the Southeast and Gulf Coast states, but it has an expanding distribution. Pythiosis is characterized by gastrointestinal or cutaneous lesions, and rarely these lesions are seen together.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, low-grade cutaneous sarcoma typically found on the proximal extremities and the trunk, characterized by infiltrative growth and low risk of metastasis. High rates of local recurrence or relatively large tumor sizes can significantly complicate therapeutic management, particularly when 1) surgical intervention is not adequately performed and /or 2 access to newer medications is limited or their high cost imposes a financial burden on patients. We present the case of a 63-year-old male with a histologically confirmed dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, measuring 6 cm in diameter, located on the right dorsal region, accompanied by several confluent multifocal nodules situated infralaterally to the primary formation.

A unique collaboration of multi-disciplinary experts from the European Association of Dermato-Oncology (EADO), the European Dermatology Forum (EDF), and the European Organization of Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) was formed to make recommendations on cutaneous melanoma diagnosis and treatment, based on systematic literature reviews and the experts' experience. Cutaneous melanomas are excised with one to two-centimeter safety margins. For a correct stage classification and treatment decision, a sentinel lymph node biopsy shall be offered in patients with tumor thickness ≥ 1.

Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is a tissue-sparing skin cancer resection technique that involves 100% margin analysis. This procedure is performed in the outpatient setting under local anesthesia by dermatologic surgeons who act as both the surgeon and the pathologist. The technique allows for prompt reconstruction immediately after cancer clearance and offers the highest cure rate for many skin malignancies, including basal and squamous cell carcinoma, as well as more rare tumors.

Background: Cutaneous malignant melanoma has traditionally been a surgically managed disease. Recent clinical trials highlight major shifts in surgical management of this disease, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach.
Methods: Clinical trials evaluating the role of completion lymph node dissection (CLND) in the management of sentinel lymph node positive patients and more recent trials evaluating the impact of neoadjuvant immunotherapy on patients presenting with clinically advanced but surgically resectable melanoma are reviewed, as well as ongoing trial evaluating surgical margins.
