In this case study, researchers identified a Leydig cell tumor in a 56-year-old postmenopausal woman with virilization symptoms by using ovarian vein sampling, as imaging was nonrevealing, and confirmed the tumor's location using testosterone ratios, which supported previous findings.

A dermatologist helped identify syphilis in a teenager who only had hair loss.

This article contains news and announcements related to Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery but provides no new research findings.

This study found that Malassezia globosa, a scalp-associated fungus linked to dandruff, grows with saturated but not unsaturated fatty acids, potentially causing unsaturated fatty acid accumulation on the scalp and triggering dandruff-like flaking in susceptible individuals.

This study identifies novel genetic variants in the NOTCH3 and HTRA1 genes associated with CADASIL and CARASIL, highlighting their potential in supporting clinical diagnosis and informing treatment strategies.

This review discusses recent updates on trichodysplasia spinulosa, focusing on its seroepidemiology, mechanisms, and treatment options, and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, the proposed MSF-VMDNet, combining dual encoder networks with a multi-frequency domain mechanism, significantly outperformed existing methods in segmenting skin cancer tissues from histological slide images, achieving high accuracy with an MIoU of 95.37% and a Dice coefficient of 95.11%.

In this study, a 38-year-old male with syphilis-related mixed pattern alopecia showed marked hair regrowth and resolution of postauricular lymphadenopathy after treatment with benzathine penicillin, suggesting that lymph node and hair examinations, along with trichoscopy, can aid in the diagnosis of alopecia syphilitica.

This study emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and a collaborative healthcare team in managing Sjogren’s Disease due to its complex nature and symptom variability, highlighting that timely treatment is crucial to prevent further damage.

This study suggests that activation of polyamine catabolism in K6-SSAT transgenic mice may significantly increase skin tumor development and progression to carcinomas following chemical induction.

This case report highlights a rare instance of visceral leishmaniasis presenting as seropositive rheumatoid arthritis in a patient with HIV, emphasizing the importance of considering chronic infections as a differential diagnosis in inflammatory arthritis, especially in diverse populations with a history of travel.

This study in Italy found that APS-1, a rare disorder, is associated with various AIRE gene mutations and most individuals have autoantibodies such as IFNωAbs, which are markers of the condition.

In this study, a child's diagnosis of Silver-Russell syndrome was confirmed through phenotype data, genetic testing, and the exclusion of other developmental conditions, revealing a need for a multidisciplinary care approach.
