AI Article Synopsis
- This study re-evaluated the dermoscopic findings of 142 dermatofibromas from 72 patients, aiming to understand their patterns better.
- The researchers identified 15 distinct dermoscopic patterns, with the most common including patterns 1, 8, and 2.
- By reclassifying these patterns, the study hopes to enhance the understanding of dermatofibromas and provide a clearer framework for their diagnosis.
Article Abstract
Aim: In dermoscopic studies on dermatofibromas, some publications divide the appearance of lesions into standardised patterns, and some publications classify the clinical appearance of the lesions by comparing them with existing dermatological lesions. This study aims to re-evaluate the dermoscopic findings and patterns of dermatofibromas from a different perspective.
Materials And Methods: In this study, 142 lesions of 72 patients were evaluated dermoscopically and their patterns were schematised.
Results: In our study, a total of 15 patterns consisting of main and sub-patterns were created. The most common patterns we detected were pattern 1 (1a: 13.4%, 1b: 8.5%), pattern 8 (8a: 10.6%, 8b: 4.2%) and pattern 2 (2a: 9.2%, 2b: 4.2%), respectively.
Conclusion: Patterns of DFs were reclassified while preserving basic patterns. We think that the new sub-patterns and schematisation with this study can contribute to a better understanding of DFs.

Objective: While the association of a syrinx with a tethered spinal cord in the context of VACTERL (vertebral defects [V], imperforate anus or anal atresia [A], cardiac malformations [C], tracheoesophageal defects [T] with or without esophageal atresia [E], renal anomalies [R], and limb defects [L]) association is known, the incidence of idiopathic syrinxes among these patients has not previously been reported. The authors aimed to characterize the incidence of syrinxes and the pattern of congenital anomalies in pediatric patients with VACTERL association, with a specific focus on the presence of idiopathic syrinxes in this population.
Methods: An institutional database was retrospectively queried for all pediatric patients with VACTERL association.

Background: Brain intraparenchymal schwannoma is a rare clinical entity, generally curable with adequate resection.
Methods And Results: We describe a case in a male patient first presenting at 19 months of age, the youngest reported age for this lesion. It also appears to be the first case connected to a germline TSC2 p.

: Shoulder pain is a very common health issue among adults, being 8% due to calcifying tendinopathies (CT) of the shoulder. The evolutionary process of this lesion can be classified according to Bianchi Martinoli, depending on the ultrasound appearance. In 50% of cases, with first-line treatments, they resolve spontaneously.

Retroperitoneal teratomas are rare neoplasms in neonates, presenting with nonspecific symptoms and variable clinical features, making diagnosis challenging. Radiological investigations, particularly fetal ultrasound and contrast-enhanced computed tomography, play a critical role in their detection. Differential diagnoses include neuroblastoma, adrenal hemorrhage, and congenital cystic lesions, which share overlapping clinical and imaging features.
