Lichenoid granulomatous dermatitis, also known as giant cell lichenoid dermatitis, represents an uncommon mixed-pattern dermatitis with histopathologic features of interface dermatitis with band-like lymphocytic inflammation of the dermal-epidermal junction, with thinning of the epidermis or lichen planus-like changes, and granulomatous inflammation involving the dermis. Lichenoid granulomatous dermatitis can manifest with a variety of primary lesions and has various clinical associations. We present a challenging clinicopathologic case of lichenoid granulomatous dermatitis in a 58-year-old woman with dramatic cutaneous desquamation in the context of a complex medical history and multiple potential triggers.

Oncologic Dermatology Unit, IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna, 40138 Bologna, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Advanced melanoma treatments have evolved with targeted therapies and immunotherapies, which significantly impact management but also lead to increased skin toxicities during treatment.
- A study in Bologna identified that 37.5% of 202 patients treated for melanoma developed cutaneous adverse events, primarily linked to drugs like ipilimumab and nivolumab.
- Most skin reactions were low-grade and manageable, but some resulted in severe conditions, highlighting the importance of recognizing and treating these toxicities to ensure patient quality of life.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to identify atypical clinical presentations of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Şanlıurfa province, encompassing a retrospective analysis of 213 patients with non-standard symptoms out of 1,751 diagnosed cases between 2019 and 2022.
- The prevalence of atypical CL was found to be 12.1%, with common atypical lesions including lupoid, erysipeloid, and impetiginous types, along with many others resembling various skin conditions and diseases.
- The research highlights that CL can mimic a wide range of infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic disorders, stressing the importance of thorough differential diagnosis for persistent non-healing skin lesions, especially in areas where CL is

Department of Dermatology, Yale University School of Medicine, 333 Cedar Street, New Haven, CT, 06510, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Cutaneous immune-related adverse events include various skin reactions like lichenoid reactions and severe conditions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome, often treated with high-dose systemic corticosteroids.
- The use of corticosteroids can hinder antitumor responses and lead to complications, prompting the exploration of corticosteroid-sparing targeted immunomodulators as alternatives.
- Biologic agents, effective for non-cutaneous immune-related issues, are gaining recognition for their ability to treat diverse cutaneous reactions, though more research is needed on their long-term impact on cancer treatment.

Department of Dermatology, School of Medicine, University of Antioquia, Medellín, Colombia.
Article Synopsis
- Tattoos have a long history, but complications can arise from different pigments and application methods; these reactions can be categorized into inflammatory, infectious, neoplastic, aesthetic, and miscellaneous types.
- Histopathological studies of inflammatory reactions show various patterns, such as lichenoid or granulomatous changes.
- A significant number of tattooed individuals (up to 67%) report adverse reactions, with certain pigments, especially red ink, being common culprits; pre-existing skin conditions may worsen with tattoos, highlighting the importance of a dermatological consult before getting inked.

The combination of lichenoid and granulomatous inflammation is uncommon in vulval biopsies. We present a series of 5 patients with lichenoid and granulomatous vulvitis, presenting with clinical changes resembling lichen sclerosus. Despite detailed clinicopathological investigation and follow-up, there was no apparent association with an underlying recognized cause.
