Porokeratosis is a disorder of keratinization with many clinical variants. The histological hallmark feature of porokeratosis is a cornoid lamella. Other accompanying features include lichenoid inflammation, atrophy towards the centre of the lesion, dermal cytoid bodies, and adjacent lichenoid changes. Lichenoid keratosis is a benign cutaneous condition, thought to largely represent a degenerating seborrheic keratosis or solar lentigo. The classical histologic appearances are characterized by parakeratosis, epidermal acanthosis, and a dense band of lichenoid lymphocytic infiltrate. Since a lichenoid inflammatory reaction pattern can be seen in porokeratosis it has the potential to be misdiagnosed as a lichenoid keratosis if the cornoid lamella is not identified or missed due to sampling selection. We critically review 104 cases of benign lichenoid keratosis to establish whether any of these cases had features to support a diagnosis of porokeratosis. With 9.6% of cases considered for re-classification, we review clues to reaching this histologic diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
- - A case study discusses a 64-year-old male with metastatic colorectal cancer who developed severe itching and new skin lesions after treatment with encorafenib and panitumumab, medications targeting cancer pathways.
- - The patient showed a mix of skin lesions, including benign moles and keratoacanthomas, with further evaluation confirming a link between the skin reactions and the use of encorafenib, as validated by the Naranjo scale.

Comparative Analysis of AI Models for Atypical Pigmented Facial Lesion Diagnosis.
Bioengineering (Basel)
October 2024
Dermatology Unit, Department of Medicine, Surgery and Neuroscience, University of Siena, 53100 Siena, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Diagnosing atypical pigmented facial lesions (aPFLs) is difficult for dermatologists and crucial for patient care, as incorrect diagnoses can lead to mismanagement and delays in treatment.
- The study compared machine learning and deep learning models to improve diagnostic accuracy of aPFLs using 1197 dermoscopic images classified into seven categories, focusing on the potential role of AI in supporting clinicians.
- Results showed that while dermatologists were 71.2% accurate in identifying malignant versus benign lesions, their accuracy dropped to 42.9% when distinguishing among specific lesions, highlighting the complexity of aPFL evaluations.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to assess the risks associated with enfortumab vedotin (EV) for advanced bladder cancer using real-world data from the FDA's adverse event reporting system (FAERS) from early 2020 to early 2024.
- - Researchers conducted a detailed analysis of 7,449,181 FAERS case reports, identifying 1,617 EV-related adverse drug events (ADEs) and finding significant safety signals for rare conditions like lichenoid keratosis and small intestinal perforation.
- - The results mostly matched existing safety data, highlighting the importance of ongoing clinical monitoring for EV-related ADEs and the need for further research to confirm the newly discovered risks.

: Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is a common immune-mediated inflammatory disorder affecting the oral mucosa, impacting 0.5% to 2% of the global population, primarily middle-aged women. Immunological dysregulation is a key factor in OLP's pathogenesis, involving CD4+ T helper and CD8+ T cytotoxic cells.
