Abstract: Rhabdomyosarcoma affects mainly pediatric patients and is currently classified into 4 categories: embryonal, alveolar, pleomorphic, and spindle cell/sclerosing. Epithelioid rhabdomyosarcoma is a recently described variant of rhabdomyosarcoma in which primary cutaneous presentation is infrequent. In this brief report, we describe a rare case of epithelioid rhabdomyosarcoma in an 81-year-old man, presenting as a skin lesion in the neck, which increased in size in 1 month. After imaging...
Background: Podoplanin is one of the integral molecules controlling cellular motility and migration that is considered crucial in initiating tumor invasiveness and metastasis. Objective: This work aimed at studying the immunohistochemical expression of podoplanin in nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) and seborrheic keratosis (SK) in comparison to normal control skin and to evaluate its possible role in their pathogenesis. Patients and Methods: This study included 120 patients and paraffin...
Abstract: Basomelanocytic neoplasms are tumors consisting of elements of both basal cell carcinoma and melanoma. These tumors are exceedingly rare and present a unique challenge as to how the melanoma component should be classified. Due to the paucity of cases, there are no clear-cut evidence-based guidelines as to how these tumors should be staged and which treatment options provide the optimal outcome. We present 2 separate patients with similar cases of colonizing basomelanocytic tumors that...
Abstract Background Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common dermatosis. The cornerstone of eczema management is to repair and maintain skin barrier and hydration, as well as to reduce inflammation. Wet wrap therapy (WWT) is a widely used adjunct to achieve this. The conventional material used for WWT is viscose, which presents drawbacks including discomfort, high cost, and poor durability. Here, we explore the possibility of using customized nanotextile (nanopolyester) for WWT, hoping to prove that...
