Introduction: Ultraviolet-based dermoscopy may support the recognition of scabies, yet neither accuracy analyses nor data on skin of colour are available. The aim of this multicentric observational retrospective was to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of polarised and ultraviolet-induced fluorescence (UVF) dermoscopic examination in both fair and dark skin, also assessing possible differences according to the skin tone.
Methods: Consecutive patients with a diagnosis of scabies were eligible.

The white dot syndromes are a group of phenotypically similar disorders characterized by multiple lesions at the level of the outer retina, retinal pigment epithelium, and choroid. Common white dot syndromes whose imaging modalities have been described in this article are multiple evanescent white dot syndrome, acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy, acute zonal occult outer retinopathy, multifocal choroiditis and panuveitis, punctate inner choroidopathy, serpiginous choroiditis, and birdshot chorioretinopathy. The various imaging modalities help us to better understand the pathophysiology of the various entities and help in diagnosing, monitoring, and prognosticating them.

We report a rare case of isolated cardiac involvement by hydatid disease in a young female patient, who presented with a recent onset of chest pain and discomfort. The radiological investigations showed an intramyocardial hydatid cyst in the right ventricle-free wall, protruding into the right ventricular cavity. The lesion exhibited characteristic MRI findings of crumpled serpiginous detached membranes within it and delayed peripheral enhancement on dynamic postcontrast late-phase MRIs.
