This report presents a case of a superficial angiomyxoma with a trichofolliculoma in a 51-year-old man, characterized by myxomatous nodules and specific immunohistological markers.

This case report describes a 7-year-old girl diagnosed with multiple eccrine pilar angiomatous nevi, a rare variant of eccrine angiomatous hamartomas, characterized by slow growth and generally benign behavior.

In this case report, a 66-year-old postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism and alopecia underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, which revealed rare synchronous ovarian tumors causing virilization, highlighting the importance of surgical exploration despite normal imaging.

This Swedish cohort study found no association between the use of anti-androgenic 5α-reductase inhibitors and improved 5-year all-cause or disease-specific mortality in oesophago-gastric cancer patients, challenging the hypothesis that these drugs enhance survival outcomes.

This review examines the molecular mechanisms by which the proapoptotic protein ARTS inhibits tumorigenesis and discusses prospects for developing drugs that mimic its function, with no new experimental results reported.

This study reports that sorafenib-associated facial acneiform eruption, mimicking chloracne, is a rare cutaneous adverse event which improved upon reducing or discontinuing the drug.

This case report describes a 45-year-old Japanese woman with metastatic cervical cancer, including rare scalp metastases, who experienced severe scalp tenderness and patchy hair loss before her death.

This study found that in superficial angiomyxomas, S100A4-positive mesenchymal niches may induce non-neoplastic adnexal epithelial growth, and highlighted evidence of mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition in eccrine duct branching, especially in Carney's complex cases.

This case study describes successful treatment of a left temporal scalp arteriovenous malformation through a multidisciplinary approach combining endovascular embolization and surgical excision, resulting in high patient satisfaction.

This study found that perifollicular mineralization in old toy poodle bitches was associated with high mineralization levels in other tissues.

This study found that sorafenib was active against desmoid tumors, with 25% of patients achieving a partial response and 70% maintaining stable disease.

This article reviews the use of sorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor, for treating certain carcinomas, noting that cutaneous toxicity during treatment may indicate successful antitumor activity; however, it reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a man with metastatic thymoma and diffuse pleural dissemination mimicking malignant mesothelioma, who also had alopecia areata without the presence of myasthenia gravis.

This study found significantly higher P-Smad2 levels in both lesional and nonlesional skin of organ transplant recipients, suggesting elevated TGF-β signaling might contribute to their increased cancer susceptibility.

This case report describes a 61-year-old female with hyperandrogenic symptoms, where an ovarian hemangioma with stromal luteinization was identified and surgically removed, resulting in improved symptoms.

This case report presents the first documented instance of basal cell carcinoma and cutaneous leiomyosarcoma occurring as a collision neoplasm in the same biopsy specimen.

A 90-year-old woman's hand lesion was a rare, aggressive skin cancer treated successfully with surgery.

This report discusses a 77-year-old man with primary onycholemmal carcinoma, a rare nail bed tumor, emphasizing its slow growth, diagnostic challenges, and treatment typically involving surgical removal.

This case report highlighted rapid virilization in a woman with adrenocortical carcinoma, stressing the importance of androgen evaluation to suspect underlying ovarian or adrenal tumors.

This report presents a case where a 17-year-old male developed severe unilateral alopecia following radiotherapy for pediatric glioblastoma multiforme, which did not respond to minoxidil or platelet-rich plasma treatments.

A 72-year-old man was diagnosed with a rare skin form of Rosai-Dorfman disease after years of misdiagnosis.

The researchers reported a rare case of invasive cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the scalp extending into bone and dura mater, successfully treated with surgery and skin flap repair, without metastasis observed at three months.

In this retrospective pharmacovigilance study, researchers analyzed over 7,900 adverse event reports related to aromatase inhibitors, identifying common side effects and toxicological mechanisms to highlight potential safety concerns in treating postmenopausal hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.

This article discusses ciliary madarosis as a transient condition secondary to IAC, emphasizing the value of physical and trichoscopic evaluations for diagnosis and prognosis; it does not report new clinical results.

In this case report, the authors identified giant cell arteritis as the underlying cause of bitemporal hair loss and scalp tenderness in a 70-year-old woman, initially misdiagnosed as age-related symptoms.

In this case study, a transition to the MEK inhibitor trametinib successfully stabilized disease and reduced toxicity in a patient with refractory kaposiform lymphangiomatosis after prolonged sirolimus and steroid treatment.

In this case report, researchers described a 48-year-old man with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed a fungus ball (aspergilloma) within a tuberculosis cavity, a complication rarely reported in such patients, emphasizing the role of CT scans in diagnosis and the potential need for surgical intervention.

This case report observed alopecia universalis, a complete hair loss condition, in a patient during a clinical trial with the angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor sacubitril/alisartan, indicating that ARNI therapy might be associated with such cutaneous reactions.

This case report describes a rare aggressive variant of squamous cell carcinoma on the scalp of a non-immunosuppressed older male, highlighting its high biological risk for metastasis and poor outcomes.
