Background: Although dermatitis herpetiformis is closely associated with celiac disease (CD), data on the relationship between CD and other dermatologic disorders have been mixed. We aimed to quantify the risk of skin disorders in patients after CD diagnosis in a population-based setting.
Methods: Using data from all 28 pathology departments in Sweden from 1969 to 2016, we identified patients with CD. Each patient was matched by age, sex, calendar year, and geographic region to up to 5 population control individuals. We calculated the risk of any skin disease and specific skin diseases using Cox proportional hazards.
Results: We identified 43,300 patients with CD and 198,532 matched control individuals. After a median follow-up time of 11.4 years, the incidences of skin disease in patients with CD and control individuals were 22.6 and 14.8 per 1000 person-years, respectively (hazard ratio [HR], 1.55; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.51-1.58). Increased risks were present for eczema (HR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.56-1.79), psoriasis (HR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.43-1.68), urticaria (HR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.42-1.64), vitiligo (HR, 1.90; 95% CI, 1.52-2.39), acne (HR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.29-1.50), and alopecia areata (HR, 1.78; 95% CI, 1.43-2.20).
Conclusions: Compared to the general population, patients with CD are at increased risk of multiple common skin disorders, a risk that persists in the long term.

Background: Basal cell nevus syndrome, also known as Gorlin or Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, is a hereditary condition caused by mutation in the PATCHED gene. The syndrome presents with a wide range of clinical manifestations, including basal cell carcinomas, jaw cysts, and skeletal anomalies. Diagnosis is based on specific criteria, and treatment typically includes surgical removal of basal cell carcinomas.

Background: Management of the extensive soft tissue injuries remains a significant challenge in orthopedic and plastic reconstructive surgery. Since the thumb is responsible for 40% of the functions of the hand, saving and reconstructing a mangled thumb is essential for the patient's future.
Case Presentation: This case report describes the management of a severe occupational thumb injury in a 25-year-old white Persian male who sustained an occupational injury to his left thumb, resulting in extensive burn, crush injury to the distal and proximal phalanx, and severe soft tissue damage to the first metacarpal, thenar, and palmar areas.

Unlabelled: Our previous study on BRCA breast cancer carriers disclosed a high local recurrence (LR) rate in patients who underwent skin sparing (SSM) or nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM) without postoperative radiation therapy (RT), compared to breast conservation surgery or mastectomy with RT. The current study compares the LR rates in BRCA versus non BRCA carriers after SSM/NSM in relation the receipt of RT.
Methods: The study was approved by the institutional ethics committee.

Introduction: Large melanomas, while relatively uncommon, present significant diagnostic challenges due to their size and potential to mimic other malignancies, leading to delays in appropriate treatment. Initial misdiagnosis is a substantial concern, impacting patient outcomes. This case highlights the importance of immunohistochemistry in cancer diagnosis, and of appropriate therapeutic management, which here included excision surgery of the tumor mass.
