Background: Palisaded neutrophilic granulomatous dermatitis is a rare inflammatory dermatosis with possible underlying systemic conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune connective tissue disease, and malignancies.
Case Summary: We report a case of an 84-year-old man presenting with a 3-week eruption of asymptomatic annular plaques on his neck, which progressed to involve his back and legs. Skin biopsies confirmed a diagnosis of palisaded neutrophilic granulomatous dermatitis, and he was treated with prednisone. Full workup related to potential underlying causes of palisaded neutrophilic granulomatous dermatitis was completed.
Conclusion: Palisaded neutrophilic granulomatous dermatitis may precede the onset of underlying systemic conditions or occur concomitantly. Following the diagnosis, clinicians should perform a comprehensive focused history, physical examination, and laboratory investigation related to the associated underlying diseases.

Primary anal cancers are rare and typically driven by high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Though squamous cell carcinoma is most common, a spectrum of HPV-related nonsquamous anogenital neoplasms with similarities to cervical stratified mucin-producing carcinoma has been reported. In this study, we mined our institutional archives to characterize the clinicopathologic features of this emerging entity.

Article Synopsis
- - Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects joints but can also lead to skin issues, with rheumatoid nodules being the most common skin manifestation in 20-30% of affected individuals.
- - Palisaded neutrophilic granulomatous dermatitis (PNGD) is a less common skin condition that can occur in RA patients, characterized by red, itchy bumps on the skin that are difficult to distinguish from rheumatoid nodules without a biopsy.
- - A 71-year-old woman with RA developed PNGD, emphasizing the need for collaboration between rheumatology and dermatology for proper diagnosis and effective treatment, which may include corticosteroids and managing the underlying RA.

Article Synopsis
- Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare inflammatory disorder with diverse symptoms and is often linked to conditions like inflammatory bowel disease.
- A case study of a 65-year-old woman revealed PG manifested as multiple ulcers on her body, leading to further examination for underlying causes.
- The diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was established through testing, highlighting that many patients with PG may have undiagnosed RA, especially when they seek help for ulcers on their lower limbs.
