Case Presentation: A 66-year-old gentleman presented with several months of a generalized pruritic skin eruption along his face, thorax, and extremities. Although he had been seen previously, no diagnosis was made until he presented to the emergency department (ED) with worsening lesions. The patient was ultimately diagnosed with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
Discussion: Accurately diagnosing a rash in the ED is not always possible as more invasive studies may be needed. Emergency physicians can expedite these studies where there is a high suspicion for a diagnosis that may need urgent evaluation and management by specialists through hospital admission and appropriate consultations. The clinical images here are an example of a rare disease manifesting as a debilitating rash, requiring inpatient evaluation and management.

Ultraviolet (UV)-induced DNA mutations produce genetic drivers of cutaneous melanoma initiation and numerous neoantigens that can trigger anti-tumor immune responses in the host. Consequently, melanoma cells must rapidly evolve to evade immune detection by simultaneously modulating cell-autonomous epigenetic mechanisms and tumor-microenvironment interactions. Angiogenesis has been implicated in this process; although an increase of vasculature initiates the immune response in normal tissue, solid tumors manage to somehow enhance blood flow while preventing immune cell infiltration.

Phospholipase Cγ1 ( ) was identified as the most frequently mutated gene in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, suggesting a critical function of PLCG1 in driving T cell activation. However, it remains unclear how these mutations regulate T cell physiology and pathology.

Dupilumab is the first monoclonal antibody approved for treating moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) and has significantly improved the quality of life of AD patients. However, the safety of dupilumab is yet unclear in the context of cancer. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the safety of dupilumab and its relationship with the progression and occurrence of tumors.

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common skin cancer, originating from the malignant proliferation of squamous epithelial cells. However, its pathogenesis remains unclear. To further explore the mechanisms underlying cSCC, we analyzed the data from one single-cell RNA sequencing study and discovered a significant upregulation of tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO2) in the cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs).
