Background:
Brentuximab vedotin (BV) has been approved for CD30-expressing cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) after at least one previous systemic treatment. However, real clinical practice is still limited.
Objectives:
To evaluate the response and tolerance of BV in a cohort of patients with CTCL.
Methods:
We analyzed CTCL patients treated with...
While some papers report an increased risk of COVID-19 and worse outcomes¹ in oncological patients, others have found no differences².
We are not aware of studies assessing risk for COVID-19 and clinical outcomes of patients with Primary Cutaneous Lymphomas (PCL).
Background
The PROspective Cutaneous Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (PROCLIPI) Study is a prospective analysis of an international database and here we examine front‐line treatments and quality‐of‐life in patients with newly diagnosed Mycosis Fungoides (MF).
Objectives
a) differences in first‐line approach according to the TNMB staging; b...
Background:
Reliable prognostic factors for patients with primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (PCALCL) are lacking.
Objective:
To identify prognostic factors for specific survival in patients with PCALCL.
Methods:
Using the convenience sampling method, patients with PCALC diagnosed from May 1986 to August 2017 in 16 University Dep...
Introduction
Alopecia areata (AA) is a high-prevalence immuno-mediated hair loss disorder. Extra follicular affections, including nail and ocular abnormalities, are classically related to a worse prognosis of the disease, and previous studies have suggested that the presence of a persistent nuchal nevus flammeus (NNF) also indicates a greater sever...
Background and objective: Primary cutaneous lymphomas are uncommon. This article describes the Primary Cutaneous Lymphoma Registry of the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (AEDV) and reports on the results from the first year. Patients and methods: Disease registry for patients with primary cutaneous lymphoma. The participating hospita...

Cutaneous manifestations of dermatomyositis (DM) are heterogeneous and include macular erythema, papules, plaques, nodules, and skin ulceration.¹ Cutaneous ulcers have been reported in 3% to 19% of patients with DM,² and these can be extremely painful and disabling and present a risk of secondary infection. They are mainly located at the digital pu...
We read with great interest the paper by Navarrete-Dechent et al recently published on the Journal of European Academy of Dermatology¹, in which the authors detail the dermoscopic findings of trichobacteriosis and highlight the importance of dermoscopy in these cases. We present the case of a 44-year-old man, who emanated an unpleasant axilary odor...
Introduction
Polymorphic light eruption (PLE) is a common idiopathic photodermatosis that typically presents with pruritic papular or papulovesicular lesions on sun-exposed skin between spring and autumn. In many subjects PLE is mild, and can usually be prevented by the use of broad-spectrum topical sunscreens and a gradual increase in sunlight exp...
Background:
Advanced-stage mycosis fungoides (MF)/Sézary syndrome (SS) patients are weighted by an unfavorable prognosis and share an unmet clinical need of effective treatments. International guidelines are available detailing treatment options for the different stages but without recommending treatments in any particular order due to lack of com...
Demodex mites are commensal organisms rarely found in healthy children. Human demodicosis can be classified as a primary or a secondary form. The secondary form in children usually affects severely immunodepressed children. To our knowledge, this is the first report of human demodicosis associated with Langerhans cell histiocytosis. These cases sho...
Congenital erythropoietic porphyria (CEP) is a rare, autosomal recessive disease caused by a deficiency of uroporphyrinogen III synthase (UROS), due to mutations in the UROS gene in chromosome 10. On occasion, patients show a mild late-onset disease, without germline UROS mutations, associated with hematologic malignancies. We report a 65-year-old...
Rosso et al recently enlarged to ten the list of patients diagnosed with yellow urticaria (YU). These cases of YU remind clinicians that the skin, besides forming a biological barrier to protect internal organs and systems from the external environment, frequently reflects underlying internal diseases. YU has been described secondary to infective h...

Background
Reconstructive hair fibers are an innovative tool in cosmetic dermatology based on electrostatic adherent powder which bonds to the hair shaft and can disguise hair loss in men and women.
Aim
This study aims to analyze and compare five different brands of organic hair fibers.
Materials and Methods
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) w...
Sporadic porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is strongly associated with HCV infection in our population (1,2,3,4.) . Therapeutic options for PCT include phlebotomies and low-dose 4-aminoquinolines, which show high rates of disease remission. However, some PCT patients may present frequent relapses attributable to resistance/intolerability/poor adherence...
We present a case of a 17-year-old girl admitted to the Psychiatric Department recovering from a suicide attempt with colchicine. One week after poisoning, a sudden onset of hair loss was observed. Positive hair pull test and trichoscopy demonstrated the presence of anagen hairs with pigmented long roots covered by the root sheaths. Colchicine pois...
Urticaria is a common skin disease characterized by transient appearance of itchy smooth and slightly elevated erythematous papules or plaques (wheals). It results from transient extravasation of plasma into the dermis that leads to dermal edema. By definition, individual lesions resolve without scarring in less than 24 hours. The diagnosis is base...
