Article Synopsis
- Carcinoma cuniculatum (CC) is a rare type of squamous cell carcinoma that is often misdiagnosed, delaying effective treatment for patients.
- A study reviewed records of 10 patients diagnosed with CC in the oral cavity between 2013 and 2022, revealing that these tumors are usually found in the gingiva or tongue and are locally aggressive.
- The research emphasizes the challenges in diagnosing CC from biopsies, urging clinicians to consider it in cases of inconclusive results, to facilitate prompt and appropriate management.

However, few data are available.

PTBM, Laboratoire de Virologie, Hôpital Pellegrin, CHU de Bordeaux; UMR 5234 MFP CNRS, Université de Bordeaux, 33076 Bordeaux cedex, France.
Background: Surveillance of HIV-1 resistance in treated patients with a detectable viral load (VL) is important to monitor, in order to assess the risk of spread of resistant viruses and to determine the proportion of patients who need new antiretroviral drugs with minimal cross-resistance.
Methods: The HIV-1 protease and reverse transcriptase (RT) and integrase genes were sequenced in plasma samples from 782 consecutive patients on failing antiretroviral regimens, seen in 37 specialized centres in 2014. The genotyping results were interpreted using the ANRS v24 algorithm.
