Article Synopsis
  • DALL-E 2, an AI model known for generating realistic images from text, was evaluated for its use in dermatology by creating images of 12 common pediatric skin conditions.
  • Out of 24 images produced, 18 were photorealistic, but the AI struggled with most diagnoses, only accurately depicting acne.
  • The study concluded that DALL-E 2 requires better training with diverse and specific data to enhance its effectiveness in dermatological applications.

Objectives: Our main goal was to evaluate the proportion of pediatric patient's lesions that could be managed using teledermatology in primary care attention.

Article Synopsis
  • Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is a rare, benign vascular malformation that affects the skin's superficial lymphatic system, sometimes appearing on the penis.
  • It can be congenital or acquired, often misdiagnosed as genital warts or molluscum contagiosum; a patient was mistakenly diagnosed for 15 years until a biopsy confirmed LC.
  • Treatment options include surgical excision and various laser therapies, with electrocoagulation proving effective for one patient, resulting in near-complete lesion regression after one session and no recurrence after 3 years.

Molluscum contagiosum arising in a melanocytic congenital nevus.

Pediatr Dermatol

September 2018

Section of Dermatology, Department of Medical Science and Public Health, University of Cagliari, Cagliari, Italy.

Molluscum contagiosum within a congenital melanocytic nevus has rarely been reported. We report a 6-year-old child with molluscum contagiosum infection arising within an intermediate melanocytic congenital nevus of the thigh, associated with itching and occasional bleeding. Dermoscopy lead to the correct diagnosis, but histologic confirmation with shave biopsy was performed to reassure the parents and allow mechanical removal of the lesions using curettage.
