Obesity is a metabolic disease that is marked by excessive fat accumulation and is objectively defined as a body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2. Obesity is associated with several other comorbidities, including psoriasis, which is a chronic autoimmune skin disease. Adipocytes produce pro-inflammatory signaling molecules, namely adipokines and classic cytokines, that drive increased inflammation axnd may contribute to the pro-inflammatory pathways driving psoriasis disease pathogenesis.

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a chronic autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease, affecting mostly the elderly. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a set of metabolic disorders including obesity, hypertension, glucose intolerance, and dyslipidemia. Observational studies have revealed a correlation between BP and MetS with controversial results and the causal relationship needs to be clarified.

Objectives: Acrodermatitis dysmetabolica (AD) is a dermatologic manifestation associated with inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs), distinct from acrodermatitis enteropathica, which occurs solely due to zinc deficiency.
Case Presentation: This report presents two pediatric cases: a 30-month-old girl with maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) experiencing AD secondary to severe isoleucine deficiency due to a protein-restricted diet, showing improvement with dietary adjustments, and a 2.5-month-old boy infant with propionic acidemia (PA) who developed AD alongside septic shock, which progressed despite intervention.

Long-term survival has improved in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) due to effective surgical techniques and anti-rejection therapies. Chronic immunosuppression associated with it has led to several types of skin cancers leading to substantial morbidity and mortality. Structured patient education including sun protective behaviors, regular dermatological surveillance, nicotinamide, long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), early switch to mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors (mTORis), combining them with low-dose calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs), can decrease the cancer risk.

Context: Huriez syndrome is a rare de rmatological condition characterized by severe sclerotic and atrophic changes in the extremities (hands and feet) and an increased tendency to develop squamous cell carcinomas, with no established gold standard for the surgical treatment of these patients, who are difficult to manage due to the inability to perform reconstructions using local flaps.
Clinical Case: We report the case of a patient with severe Huriez syndrome who had developed SCC in both the hands and foot over time. After multiple surgeries at other centers, all resulting in recurrences, we planned wide excisions followed by reconstruction using distant flaps.
