Dermatoscopic patterns of cutaneous metastases: A multicentre cross-sectional study of the International Dermoscopy Society.
J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol
July 2024
Department of Dermatology, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the characteristics and dermatoscopic features of cutaneous metastases (CMs) from various primary tumors, highlighting the challenge of diagnosing them.
- A total of 583 patients were analyzed, with melanomas being the most common primary tumors, and a significant portion of the metastases was found in the head and neck region.
- The findings suggest that pigmented melanoma metastases often appear as structureless blue lesions, while amelanotic metastases display linear serpentine vessels; both types can be confused with other skin lesions.
Resorcinol 10% as a Promising Therapeutic Option for Mild Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Prospective, Randomized, Open Study.

2nd Department of Dermatology and Venereology, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Medical School, "Attikon" General University Hospital, Athens, Greece.
Introduction: Treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is challenging, and in Hurley stage I, it is based on topical measures. Our aim was to compare the efficacy and safety of topical resorcinol 10% with topical clindamycin 1% and no therapy, in Hurley stage I HS.
Methods: In this open, prospective, randomized trial, we studied 60 Hurley stage I patients with IHS4 ≤10.

Service de Dermatologie, Centre Hospitalier Lyon Sud, Hospices Civils de Lyon, Lyon, France; Université Claude-Bernard-Lyon Lyon, Lyon, France and Lyons cancer research center UMR INSERM U1052 - CNRS5286 - UCBL1 Lyon France.
Article Synopsis
- Melanonychia striata longitudinalis affects fingers and toes with causes ranging from benign conditions to malignant tumors, making diagnosis complex.
- Nail matrix melanoma is rare, typically affecting adults and primarily occurs in the first toe or thumb, while squamous cell carcinoma of the nail matrix often lacks pigmentation.
- A systematic diagnostic approach, involving factors like age, number of nails involved, and color, is recommended to accurately assess and differentiate the specific causes of this condition.
The Natural Evolution of Nevi with Peripheral Globules.
Dermatology
October 2023
First Dermatology Department, School of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Aristotle University, Thessaloniki, Greece.
Background: Peripheral globules (PG) in melanocytic lesions represent a concerning dermoscopic feature since they might be present in growing nevi and melanomas. Their natural evolution has not been fully elucidated, and an age-based management approach has been recommended.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to calculate the growth rate of lesions with PG and investigate possible association with age, sex, location, and the global dermoscopic pattern.

Dermoscopic Clues of Histopathologically Aggressive Basal Cell Carcinoma Subtypes.
Medicina (Kaunas)
February 2023
First Dermatology Department, School of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54643 Thessaloniki, Greece.
The group of histopathologically aggressive BCC subtypes includes morpheaform, micronodular, infiltrative and metatypical BCC. Since these tumors are at increased risk of recurring, micrographically controlled surgery is considered the best therapeutic option. Although dermoscopy significantly improves the clinical recognition of BCC, scarce evidence exists on their dermoscopic criteria.

Toxins (Basel)
May 2022
Dermatological Clinic, Polytechnic Marche University, 60200 Ancona, Italy.
Among the forms of idiopathic hyperhidrosis, those involving the forehead have the greatest impact on patients' quality of life, as symptoms are not very controllable and are difficult to mask for patients. Although the local injection therapy with Incobotulinum toxin type A (IncoBTX-A therapy) can be considered a rational treatment, data from the literature describing both efficacy and safety of the treatment over the long term are poor. The aim of this report is to describe the single-center experience of five patients seeking treatment, for forehead hyperhidrosis with IncoBTX-A.
