Diagnosing Common Benign Skin Tumors.
Am Fam Physician
October 2024
Prisma Health and the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, Greenville.
Article Synopsis
- Distinguishing between benign and potentially malignant skin tumors is crucial in family medicine, and many benign tumors can be diagnosed based on their history, appearance, and growth patterns.
- Procedures like biopsy or excision may be necessary if there's uncertainty about a diagnosis or if the lesion changes rapidly.
- Treatment options vary based on the type of lesion and patient preference, with methods like excision, laser therapy, and cryotherapy commonly used; special considerations are needed for patients with darker skin to minimize risks like hypopigmentation.
Clinical and Dermoscopic Patterns of Basal Cell Carcinoma and Its Mimickers in Skin of Color: A Practical Summary.
Medicina (Kaunas)
August 2024
Institute of Dermatology, Department of Medical Area, University of Udine, 33100 Udine, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Diagnosing basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in individuals with darker skin tones (dark phototypes IV-VI) is difficult due to varied presentations and fewer identifiable clues; dermoscopy can aid in identifying BCC in these patients.
- This review provides a comparison of BCC's clinical and dermoscopic patterns in people of color to those in lighter-skinned individuals, identifying common mimickers like squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma.
- Key dermoscopic features of BCC in darker skin include blue, black, and gray dots, with arborizing vessels being the primary indicator, while unique conditions in darker skin such as dermatosis papulosa nigra are also considered in differential diagnosis.
Generalized Eruptive Keratoacanthoma (GEKA) after Pfizer mRNABNT162b2 (Comirnaty) COVID-19 Vaccination Successfully Treated with Cemiplimab.
Viruses
August 2024
Dermatology Unit "Daniele Innocenzi", "A. Fiorini" Hospital, via Firenze, 1, 04019 Terracina, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- * A 64-year-old man with a history of hypertension and diabetes developed multiple keratoacanthomas two weeks after his second booster dose, prompting diagnosis through physical and histopathological examinations.
- * The patient's condition improved significantly with treatment using cemiplimab, suggesting a possible immune-mediated reaction from the vaccine, but further studies are necessary to assess treatment safety and effectiveness.
[Translated article] Dermoscopy of Squamous Cell Carcinoma: From Actinic Keratosis to Invasive Forms.
Actas Dermosifiliogr
October 2024
Servicio de Dermatología, Hospital de Sant Pau i Santa Tecla, Tarragona, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- The dermoscopy of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) helps differentiate between types based on keratin, vascular, and pigment features.
- Non-pigmented actinic keratoses have a "strawberry pattern," while pigmented actinic keratosis shows similarities to lentigo maligna but can be distinguished by specific signs like pigmented scales and erythema.
- Dermoscopy is crucial for early detection of invasive SCC, with its presentation varying by tumor differentiation—keratin features in well-differentiated tumors and atypical vascular patterns in poorly differentiated ones.
Dermoscopy to differentiate clinically similar inflammatory and neoplastic skin lesions.
Ital J Dermatol Venerol
April 2024
Institute of Dermatology, Santa Maria della Misericordia University Hospital, Udine, Italy -
Article Synopsis
- - Dermoscopy is a valuable imaging technique for dermatologists that helps distinguish between neoplastic (tumor-related) and inflammatory skin conditions, especially in tricky cases where they may appear similar.
- - A review of literature identified key dermoscopic features that can aid in differentiating 12 common challenging skin scenarios, such as distinguishing between Bowen's disease and psoriasis.
- - The study concludes that dermoscopy can significantly assist in differentiating between clinically similar skin lesions, improving diagnosis and treatment strategies.
