Cutaneous pseudolymphomas (CPLs) include a wide range of clinicopathological presentations sharing in common the presence of clinical and histopathological features mimicking those of primary cutaneous lymphomas. Although immunophenotypical studies and molecular analysis of clonality have been shown to be reliable tools, providing significant help in the differential diagnosis between primary c...

Annals Academy of Medicine Dear Editor, Incisional hernias are common complications following abdominal surgery with an incidence of 2% to 20% after midline laparotomy.1 Umbilical fl uid discharge is, however, an unusual presenting complaint and may arise from structural abnormalities persisting from birth such as a patent urachus or secondary to instrumentation. Here we report a case of a peri...

After having eliminated a dysfunction of the hospital's ventilation system and any other possible environmental reservoir, the investigation of a fatal case of primary cutaneous aspergillosis in a neonate with extremely low birth weight led to the conclusion that nonsterile disposable gloves kept stored in their native packages were the likely source of contamination.

Primary cutaneous and subcutaneous aspergillosis is a rare entity and usually occurs secondary to systemic or disseminated aspergillosis. We describe a unique case of primary aspergillosis of the cheek in a 45-year-old male without any evidence of disseminated aspergillosis and recognizable trauma or surgical procedure in the area of cheek.

During the last decade microdialysis has been successfully applied to assess cutaneous drug delivery of numerous substances, indicating the large potential for bioequivalence/bioavailability evaluation of topical formulations. The technique has been shown to be minimally invasive and supply pharmacokinetic information directly in the target organ for cutaneous drug delivery with high temporal r...

We report the case of a 71-year-old gentleman who intially developed cutaneous metastases from gastric carcinoma on his chin and cheek resembling sebaceous cysts.

Changes in the appearance of actinic keratosis (AK) suggest progression to invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), though some dermatologists and dermatopathologists consider AK to be SCC in situ. Actinic keratosis is an indicator of cumulative UV exposure and the initial lesion in the majority of invasive cutaneous SCCs. The development of SCC on sun-damaged skin is a gradual process; however,...

INTRODUCTION Primary umbilical endometriosis a rare case. It is mostly seen in women in the reproductive age group. CASE REPORT In this case report, a 38 year old woman is discussed who received antibiotherapy for omphalitis diagnosis established due to many complaints of umbilical secretion but who was diagnosed with primary umbilical endometriosis after histopathological examination. CONC...

We report the case of an eight-year-old boy with hypereosinophilia who presented with a swelling under his right armpit that had persisted for more than four weeks. A second-stage larva of Wohlfahrtia magnifica was found, leading to the diagnosis of cutaneous myiasis. Following removal of the larva, the clinical and hematological manifestations returned to normal. Diagnosis of myiasis should al...

The aim of this study was to develop an algorithm for the automatic segmentation of multispectral images of pigmented skin lesions. The study involved 1700 patients with 1856 cutaneous pigmented lesions, which were analysed in vivo by a novel spectrophotometric system, before excision. The system is able to acquire a set of 15 different multispectral images at equally spaced wavelengths between...
