This study found that alopecia areata was associated with an increased risk of hematological malignancies, particularly non-Hodgkin lymphoma, but not with solid malignancies, except in certain severe cases.

Non-white organ transplant patients have worse skin cancer outcomes due to later diagnosis and treatment.

The committee unanimously voted against recommending approval of the injectable cisplatin/epinephrine gel IntraDose for certain head and neck cancer patients, citing insufficient clinical benefit and concerns about toxicity in this study.

This study proposes that mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) may connect various signaling pathways in hair follicle tumor formation, offering a potential unified model for understanding these tumors.

This study found that chemically induced skin tumors in mice predominantly originated from Lgr6 + and/or Lrig1 + stem cells of the upper hair follicle rather than from other stem cell populations.

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

This case report challenges the traditional view by documenting reversible vision loss following scalp injections of platelet-rich plasma, attributed to an inflammatory or microvascular event, treatable with corticosteroids.

This review systematically analyzed literature to differentiate desmoplastic trichoepitheliomas from other cutaneous tumors based on clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical features but reports no new clinical results.

In this study conducted at a Russian military hospital, the researchers found that using a (bi)eyebrow surgical approach with endonasal video navigation significantly reduced postoperative complications, such as skin sensitivity impairment and visible scarring, compared to the open bicoronal approach for treating frontal sinus injuries.

In this study, a 14-year-old girl developed Malassezia folliculitis and seborrheic dermatitis after starting trametinib, which improved with itraconazole treatment. The research underscores the importance of recognizing trametinib-related skin reactions and suggests managing them with antifungal therapy without necessarily discontinuing the medication.

In this study, safusidenib erbumine was evaluated for its efficacy and safety in patients with untreated IDH1-mutated WHO grade 2 gliomas, achieving a 44.4% objective response rate and 87.9% 24-month event-free probability, but with some mild to moderate adverse effects.

This case report describes an ossifying pilomatrixoma found in a 15-year-old girl, confirmed via histopathological examination after imaging indicated a subcutaneous mass on her cheek.

In this study, researchers found that basal cell carcinomas with common Hedgehog signaling mutations may require additional mutations to hyperactivate downstream signaling and progress beyond dormancy.

New skin lesions on the scrotum or vulva in patients with a history of internal cancer could indicate rare skin metastasis.

This source highlights that intraocular foreign bodies are urgent ophthalmologic emergencies requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent blindness and eye loss, with most cases involving the posterior segment of the eye.

This study found that hippocampus sparing whole brain radiation therapy (HS-WBRT) using multi-field intensity modulated radiation therapy prevents alopecia without compromising cognitive function compared to traditional whole brain radiation therapy.

This case report describes a trichoblastoma in a 58-year-old man's leg, which was successfully excised without recurrence observed after 9 months.

This study found that testosterone may promote glioblastoma progression by being converted into dihydrotestosterone, which enhances cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in GBM cell lines.

This case report discusses a 69-year-old woman with alopecia areata who presented with a growing lesion on her hand, raising diagnostic considerations during her appointment for scalp steroid injections.

In this report, the potential connection between Merkel cell carcinoma and Curvularia lunata infection in an elderly patient is discussed, highlighting the need for precise diagnostic methods and suggesting that surgery combined with the antifungal voriconazole may be a viable treatment option.

This study found that Ca²⁺ signaling and peptidylarginine deiminase enzymes play a crucial role in activating neural stem cells in response to injury in zebrafish, suggesting potential therapeutic targets for CNS injuries and cancer.

This report highlights a case of possible association between myotonic dystrophy type 1 and basal cell carcinoma, urging clinicians to consider this link despite negative genetic testing for known hereditary BCC syndromes.

This study identified a small molecule that activates GLI1, suppressing neuroblastoma cell growth, which may aid in developing new treatments for high-risk neuroblastoma cases.

This study reported that both primary and secondary cutaneous follicle center lymphomas can present with atypical scalp or forehead lesions, leading to potential misdiagnosis as other skin conditions.

This case report details a rare instance of a giant cellular blue nevus on the scalp, highlighting its potential to damage underlying bone and hair follicles, alongside a separate alopecia areata lesion successfully treated with topical corticosteroid.

This case report details an atypical presentation of Hodgkin's lymphoma in an 87-year-old man, where severe hypercalcemia and mental status changes prompted further investigation and diagnosis.

This article reviews various hair and scalp diseases relevant to hair transplantation and provides suggestions for managing these conditions, without reporting new research findings.
