This case study reports that treating a female patient with facial partial unilateral lentiginosis using a 532-nm Nd:YAG fractional picosecond laser resulted in significant improvement in pigmentation without notable side effects, indicating it may be an effective and well-tolerated treatment option.

This report describes the clinical presentation of Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome in two brothers and reviews the related literature, without providing new clinical outcomes.

In this phase II clinical study, combining anlotinib with standard platinum-based chemotherapy showed promising outcomes and prognosis in treating extensive small-cell lung cancer, with high disease control and response rates.

This study reported a rare case of pityriasis rubra pilaris-like skin reaction in an 18-year-old woman after starting ponatinib treatment for relapsed Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia, which resolved after treatment adjustment and did not recur over 15 months.

Low-dose naltrexone helps improve symptoms and stabilize frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris.

This article discusses platelet-rich plasma therapy for cicatricial alopecias like lichen planopilaris and reports no confirmed new clinical results; the authors highlight ongoing uncertainty about its effectiveness and potential risks.

This case report describes a patient with primary cutaneous natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, where monoclonal Epstein–Barr virus genome expansion was associated with terminal aggressive behavior after an indolent clinical course.

This study found that line-field confocal optical coherence tomography effectively visualized key diagnostic features of classic lichen planopilaris in real time, suggesting its potential as a valuable diagnostic tool.

This study identified a novel mutation and confirmed a previous mutation in the LIPH gene in a woman with autosomal recessive woolly hair, expanding the mutation spectrum for this condition.

LIPH mutations cause woolly hair in some Chinese people.

This study reported discovering a novel missense variant in a case of autosomal recessive woolly hair in a 31-year-old Chinese woman, which significantly reduced secretion of the encoded protein, likely leading to disease by impairing its hydrolytic function.

This case report presents a rare subtype of hypomyelinating leukodystrophy linked to a PYCR2 gene mutation, emphasizing exome sequencing's value in diagnosing undiagnosed childhood HLDs with atypical symptoms.

Genetic defects in the Wnt/PCP pathway may cause congenital yellow nail syndrome.

This study reported that ZSYY001, a nanoparticle formulation of polymeric micellar paclitaxel, showed promising antitumor activity and was safe and well-tolerated in preclinical models and a phase I trial, without acute hypersensitivity reactions at doses up to 390 mg/m².

This study introduced the Lichen Planus Activity and Damage Index (LiPADI), which effectively assesses the severity and progression of lichen planus, aligning well with other clinical indicators.

This study suggests that nephronectin (NPNT) could serve as a novel prognostic marker for poor prognosis in a subgroup of breast cancer patients, associated with specific NPNT staining patterns.

This letter discusses how differentiating features in clinical and radiological findings can help distinguish pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis and Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome from lymphangioleiomyomatosis, noting overlapping symptoms but specific distinctive traits.

This report describes a rare case of scarring alopecia, diagnosed as lichen planopilaris (LPP), affecting solely the limbs, highlighting the necessity for thorough evaluation of LPP beyond the scalp.

The abstract highlights that lichen planus can manifest as cicatricial alopecia or lichen planopilaris, while discoid lupus erythematosus, a common form of lupus erythematosus, typically causes scarring alopecia. Results are not reported here.

This study found that polymorphous light eruption (PLE) may include a wide range of conditions, requiring careful differentiation from similar skin disorders such as benign summer light eruption.

In this study, researchers used EHR data from two large PCORnet networks to identify a range of long COVID diagnoses, highlighting varying post-acute risks across populations in NYC and Florida.

This article reports a rare case of a postmenopausal woman with coexisting lichen planus pigmentosus and classic lichen planopilaris, alongside a review of related literature.

This case study reported a rare occurrence of lepromatous leprosy with Lucio phenomenon in a 50-year-old Indonesian living in Malaysia, highlighting the necessity for primary care practitioners, even in non-endemic areas, to recognize this serious leprosy reaction to prevent complications and transmission.

This study found that while the carboplatin-paclitaxel regimen for advanced lung cancer is more affordable than newer treatments and maintains a good performance status, it significantly increases risks of alopecia and peripheral neuropathy.

This article describes two cases of plica neuropathica, a rare hair condition involving severe matting, and discusses possible contributing factors and diagnosis methods while reporting no new scientific results.

This report describes two cases where lichen planopilaris compromised hair follicles in both donor and recipient areas after follicular unit transplantation, emphasizing the need for a biopsy if lichen planopilaris is suspected.

This report describes a case of granulomatous reaction to injectable poly-L-lactic acid in the periorbital area and suggests surgical excision as an effective treatment for persistent nodules.
