Primary cutaneous CD8 T-cell lymphoma has been included as a provisional entity within the new revised classification of lymphoid neoplasms of the World Health Organization in 2016. It was initially described as indolent CD8 lymphoid proliferation of the ear and a total of 29 cases of such neoplasm have been published in the literature so far. None of them have been linked to delayed contact hypersensitivity reactions. We present a case of acral type primary cutaneous lymphoma T CD8 involving both earlobes clearly related with the prolonged use of gold earrings, confirmed with epicutaneous tests, histopathology, immunohistochemical and molecular studies. Auricular skin lesions were induced again with a provocation test with identical histopathologycal and the same clonality, confirming both the diagnosis of lymphoma and its induction by the antigenic stimulus of gold.

Epidermal melanocytes form synaptic-like contacts with cutaneous nerve fibers, but the functional outcome of these connections remains elusive. In this pilot study we used our fully humanized re-innervated skin organ culture model to investigate melanocyte-nerve fiber interactions in UV-B-induced melanogenesis. UV-B-irradiation significantly enhanced melanin content and tyrosinase activity in re-innervated skin compared to non-innervated controls, indicating that neuronal presence is essential for exacerbating pigmentation upon UV-B irradiation in long-term culture.

Background: Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is strongly associated with ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which contributes to the transformation of melanocytes into melanoma by inducing specific DNA damage. Here, we investigated the causal relationship between CM and genes related to sun-damaged skin, exploring specific target genes through various bioinformatics analyses.
Methods: The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was used to obtain differential genes for CM and normal skin, and the Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) analysis offered summary-level melanoma data for CM.

Skin cancers continue to present unresolved challenges, particularly regarding the association with sex hormones, which remains a topic of controversy. A systematic review is currently warranted to address these issues. To analyze if sex hormones result in a higher incidence of skin cancers (cutaneous melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma).

Melanoma is an immunogenic tumor. The melanoma tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) is made up of a heterogenous mix of both immune and non-immune cells as well as a multitude of signaling molecules. The interactions between tumor cells, immune cells and signaling molecules affect tumor progression and therapeutic responses.
