Over a 14-year period from 2010 to 2023, we treated 86 psoriasis patients with various biological agents at Asahikawa City Hospital, and 12 malignancies occurred in 11 of the patients. The numbers of malignancies by organ were as follows: four urogenital, three hematological, two gastrointestinal, one breast, one thyroid, and one lung. In two patients without cancer-related symptoms, elevated serum Krebs von den Lungen-6 levels led to the detection of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma or thyroid cancer, and they did not have interstitial lung disease. Dermatologists should be aware of the increased incidence of malignancy in patients with psoriasis requiring treatment with biologics.

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with etiologies related to genetics, immunity, and the environment. It is characterized by excessive proliferation of keratinocytes and infiltration of inflammatory immune cells. Glycosylation is a post-translational modification of proteins that plays important roles in cell adhesion, signal transduction, and immune cell activation.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic and progressive inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis, mainly affecting the axial and peripheral joints, characterized by a wide range of complex phenotypes, significant heterogeneity, and a multifactorial etiology. To effectively address the distinct challenges in managing PsA, a pivotal emphasis is placed on clarifying the concept of refractory PsA. Here, we propose a distinction between refractory PsA, differentiating between difficult-to-treat PsA (D2T PsA) and Pseudo-D2T PsA.

Objective: Chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is a rare autoinflammatory bone disease associated with other chronic inflammatory diseases such as familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), spondylarthropathies, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and pyoderma gangrenosum. We aimed to describe the clinical and follow-up characteristics of patients with CNO and to compare findings between patients with and without comorbidities.
Methods: The clinical records of patients with CNO who were followed up in our pediatric rheumatology clinic between 2018 and 2023 were reviewed.
Background: Psoriasis is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory skin disease, with increasing prevalence; however, few studies have reported real-world prescription patterns and healthcare burden.
Objectives: This retrospective, observational cohort study used statutory health insurance claims data (January 2014-December 2019) to estimate prevalence/incidence of moderate-to-severe psoriasis in Germany. Patient characteristics, treatment patterns/compliance, and healthcare resource utilization (HCRU)/costs were evaluated, focusing on apremilast and anti-interleukin (IL) and anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) biologics.
Paradoxical Inflammatory Bowel Disease Induced by Golimumab in a Patient With Ankylosing Spondylitis: A Case Report and Systematic Review.

Paradoxical reactions (PRs) to biologic medications, such as psoriasis, arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), have been increasingly recognized. The aim of reporting this case is to establish an association between golimumab and exacerbation or new (de novo) IBD in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (SpA). Our case involves a young patient with juvenile-onset ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who developed de novo IBD following golimumab therapy for active spinal disease.
