Fibrous Proliferations in Posttransplant Kaposi Sarcoma.

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is characterized by cutaneous lesions that are often papular and present variably depending on the stage of progression. We describe a patient with a fibroma-like nodule, a lesion not commonly associated with KS. Previously observed in lymphedematous human immunodeficiency virus-associated KS, the occurrence of this nodule in the absence of chronic lymphedema suggests an alternative etiology.

The Effect of Implementing Teledermatology in Patients Presenting with Cellulitis Versus Pseudocellulitis in an Academic Emergency Department Setting: A Pilot Study.

There is a shortage of dermatologists available to see hospitalized patients, especially for urgent evaluations such as in the emergency department setting. The use of teledermatology in the emergency setting was studied for patients presenting to the emergency department with symptoms of or a diagnosis of cellulitis. Thirty patients were enrolled and randomized to a teledermatology note being placed in their chart versus control patients undergoing standard care.

The Association Between Oral Health and Skin Disease.

Oral health and mucocutaneous inflammation might play an important role in the etiopathogenesis of many skin diseases, especially those that also involve the oral mucosa. This review examines the relationship between skin conditions and various oral health metrics to better understand how oral diseases, especially periodontitis, might influence the development or prognosis of several conditions, including aphthous stomatitis, atopic dermatitis, lichen planus, pemphigus, pemphigoid, and psoriasis. Using the PubMed search engine between Summer 2017 and Summer 2018, searches were performed for: OR AND , or OR .
