Int J Mol Sci
March 2024
Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, Section of Dermatology, University of Messina, 98125 Messina, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Necrobiosis Lipoidica (NL) is a rare skin condition that causes yellowish-brown plaques, mostly affecting middle-aged women on their shins, and is marked by inflammation and collagen degeneration.
- A study conducted on 17 NL patients treated with photodynamic therapy (PDT) from 2013 to 2023 showed varied treatment outcomes, with 29% achieving complete lesion clearance and 59% experiencing partial clearance.
- The findings highlight the need for personalized treatment approaches and standardized protocols to improve the effectiveness of PDT for NL, as current evidence in literature is limited.

February 2024
Department of Dermatology, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, NY, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Skin ulcers can be difficult to diagnose, especially when they are related to other health issues like autoimmune and gastrointestinal diseases, and simple explanations might not always apply.
- A case involving a 70-year-old male revealed that what was thought to be a skin condition related to Crohn's disease was actually basal cell carcinoma, which worsened and led to amputation.
- The key takeaway is to always reassess a diagnosis and consider getting more expert opinions when a patient's condition doesn't improve, as earlier diagnosis could have prevented severe outcomes.
