Background: The use of artificial intelligence (AI) for skin cancer assessment has been an emerging topic in dermatology. Leadership of dermatologists is necessary in defining how these technologies fit into clinical practice.
Objective: To characterize the evolution of AI in skin cancer assessment and characterize the involvement of dermatologists in developing these technologies.
Methods: An electronic literature search was performed using PubMed by searching machine learning or artificial intelligence combined with skin cancer or melanoma. Articles were included if they used AI for screening and diagnosis of skin cancer using data sets consisting of dermoscopic images or photographs of gross lesions.
Results: Fifty-one articles were included, and 41% of these had dermatologists included as authors. Articles that included dermatologists described algorithms built with more images versus articles that did not include dermatologists (mean, 12,111 vs 660 images, respectively). In terms of underlying technology, AI used for skin cancer assessment has followed trends in the field of image recognition.
Limitations: This review focused on models described in the medical literature and did not account for those described elsewhere.
Conclusions: Greater involvement of dermatologists is needed in thinking through issues in data collection, data set biases, and applications of technology. Dermatologists can provide access to large, diverse data sets that are increasingly important for building these models.

We report a case of Acanthamoeba infection in an HCT recipient with steroid-refractory GVHD. We highlight the multiple challenges that free-living ameba infections present to the clinician, the clinical laboratory, transplant infectious disease for review, hospital epidemiology if nosocomial transmission is considered, and public health officials, as exposure source identification can be a significant challenge. Transplant physicians should include Acanthamoeba infections in their differential diagnosis of a patient with skin, sinus, lung, and/or brain involvement.

Trichoblastic carcinoma, trichoblastoma, trichoepithelioma, and basal cell carcinoma are histologically characterised by basaloid cell proliferation. In this report, we describe the case of a 76-year-old man who presented with trichoblastic carcinoma admixed with histological features of trichoblastoma, trichoepithelioma, and basal cell carcinoma. These tumours may not be situated separately but must be related to each other in terms of tumorigenesis.

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) is one of the imaging method that enables visualization of tumor vessels.
Purpose: This article examines the features of angioarchitecture, vascular network density, and perfusion density of iris melanoma and progressive iris nevus using OCT-A.

Background: Farm operators are at a high risk of developing skin cancer due to their occupational sun exposure. With the growing incidence of skin cancer, it is also important to evaluate other occupational risk factors. Farm operators confront numerous physical, chemical, and biological hazards in their work environment.

Background: Isolated immunohistochemical indicators are limited to diagnose melanocytic neoplasms. This retrospective study is to assess the diagnostic value of combined immunohistochemical analysis targeting preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma (PRAME) and p16 in melanocytic neoplasms, with a detailed focus on arcal lesions.
Methods: This was a single center cohort study from January 2022 to June 2023.
