research Scalp melanoma after antihair loss mesotherapy
A woman got melanoma on her scalp after anti-hair loss treatment with injections.
research Perinevoid Alopecia: Report of Two Cases and Literature Review
This study reviewed existing literature and reported two cases of perinevoid alopecia, suggesting that melanocyte antigens may be involved in its development.
research Hair and nail disorders of childhood
This article reviews hair and nail disorders in children, emphasizing their prevalence, congenital and acquired origins, and the diagnostic challenges compared to treatment, but reports no new clinical results.
research Acne Syndromes and Mosaicism
This review elaborates on the concept of cutaneous mosaicism and its link to acneiform conditions, but it reports no new clinical results.
research Nevus Sebaceus With Novel HRAS Sequence Variant Mutation Misdiagnosed as Alopecia Areata
In this case report, researchers diagnosed a 12-year-old girl with a nevus sebaceus of Jadassohn, characterized by a yellowish-pink plaque on the scalp and a genetic variant, following previous misdiagnosis as alopecia areata.
research Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma (PEM)/Animal Type Melanoma (ATM): Quest for an Origin. Report of One Unusual Case Indicating Follicular Origin and Another Arising in an Intradermal Nevus
This study observed two cases of pigmented epithelioid melanocytoma suggesting potential differing origins: one from a hair follicle's outer root sheath and another from an intradermal nevus.
