OBJECTIVE To examine risk of malignancy and death in patients with kidney transplant who receive the immunosuppressive drug sirolimus. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis of individual patient data. DATA SOURCES Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from inception to March 2013. ELIGIBILITY Randomized controlled trials comparing immunosuppressive r...
BACKGROUND Heightened risks of second cancers have been reported in patients with nonmelanoma cancer of the skin (NMSC), but this association has not been studied in a large, ethnically diverse, multigeographic population. METHODS This cross-sectional study assessed the association of NMSC with another malignancy in the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study, a study that was conducted...
Skin cancer in organ transplant recipients is a serious problem that manifests as increased squamous cell carcinoma in longterm patients. In these patients, a combination of cumulative sun exposure as well as the immunosuppressive effects of transplant medications can cause cutaneous malignancy. Skin cancer can affect transplant patients in multiple ways. It can decrease quality of life by caus...
Perineural invasion in tumors is typically indicative of malignancy. There are exceptions in most organ systems, but interpretation is complicated when the tumor in question also mimics malignancy. An example of this challenge is found in the interpretation of sclerosing epithelial tumors of the skin. The differential diagnosis for this category of tumors includes malignant entities such as inf...
Background Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) / Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare, severe, and occasionally fatal skin reaction caused mainly by medications. The reported mortality associated with TEN varies from 10-70%. SCORTEN, a severity-of-illness score which estimates the mortality in TEN has been developed and validated. Malignancy was considered as 1 of the 7 independent prognostic ...
The risk of de novo malignancy is significantly higher in patients who have undergone organ transplantation than in the general population. Long-term immunosuppressive treatment, in addition to age, genetic predisposition and infectious agents, plays a major role in the development of malignancy. Although skin and hemopoietic system cancers are common, atypical presentations of malignancies may...
Pilomatricoma is a benign skin adnexal tumour usually seen in the head and neck region of children and young adults. It is underrecognized on cytology, resulting in the overdiagnosis of malignancy. We bring forth a case report of a slow growing nodular swelling in a 10-year-old female child, which was misdiagnosed on Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) as a malignant neoplasm and found to be...
Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cutaneous malignancy. UV light is an important risk factor for BCC, as well as X-ray and other ionizing radiations. The aim of this study was evaluation and risk factor assessment of BCC cases referred to Razi hospital tumor clinic. Methods: Patients referred from general clinics with skin biopsies consistent with Basal Cell Carcinoma we...
Subcutaneous metastasis from a visceral malignancy is rare with an incidence of 5.3%. Skin involvement as the presenting sign of a silent internal malignancy is an even rarer event occurring in approximately 0.8%. We report a case of a patient who presented to her dermatologist complaining of rapidly developing subcutaneous nodules which subsequently proved to be metastatic colon cancer, and we...
Erythema gyratum reopens is a slowly expanding, mildly scaling dermatosis with a "wood-grain" pattern and is seen in patients with an underlying malignancy. To date only 49 cases have appeared in the literature, 41 of which (84%) were associated with a neoplasm, most commonly of the lung. Several patients also had pruritus, palmoplantar keratoderma, ichthyosis, vesiculobullous lesions, and/or e...
