    TLDR Some skin conditions are associated with other serious diseases, and office microscopy may miss many fungal infections.
    The document from July 1, 2003, provides summaries of dermatopathology cases and studies, including a case linking livedoid vasculopathy to advanced Hodgkin's disease, a unique presentation of granuloma faciale, and a study from Northern Ireland that found no CYLD gene mutations in familial syringomata. It also discusses a case of bacillary angiomatosis in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, an unusual case of Woringer-Kolopp disease on the breast, and a study highlighting the limitations of office microscopy for mycological testing, which fails to detect about one-third of fungal infections that could be identified with culture.
