This study concludes that tiny infundibular cysts, rather than comedones, are the primary lesions in chloracne.

This case report suggests that intralesional cidofovir may be a consideration for treating squamous cell carcinoma, as it showed a successful outcome without systemic toxicity, although surgical excision remains preferred.

In this study, gamma benzene hexachloride washes successfully resolved skin disease in guinea pigs affected by Trixacarus caviae, after confirmation via skin scrapings.

This study found that supplementing pregnant and lactating mice with high dietary copper improved survival and physical traits in mice carrying the crinkled mutation, suggesting copper's role in modulating gene expression.

This study provides evidence that ILC1-like cells can induce alopecia areata in previously healthy human hair follicles, challenging the view that it is solely an autoantigen-dependent autoimmune disease.

This case report describes a young woman with an adrenal oncocytic tumor of uncertain malignant potential, highlighting the need for ongoing surveillance due to possible malignancy.

This study found that a cuticle keratin gene in sheep is a pseudogene due to gene duplication and mutations, lacking expression in vivo.

This study reports that dermoscopy can improve the diagnosis of epidermal cysts by making small puncta visible, which are often missed during standard visual examinations.

This case report presents the first known instance of a nodular eyelid mass associated with demodex infestation, suggesting the need to consider this parasite in differential diagnoses.

In this case report, a 7-year-old girl developed a painless, slowly growing keratinous cyst at her umbilicus, which was successfully resected and identified as a benign skin lesion; the authors emphasized the importance for clinicians to consider this diagnosis in pediatric umbilical tumors.

This article reviews the case of a 2-year-old boy with rhombencephalosynapsis and considers its potential links to Gomez–López-Hernández syndrome, suggesting further research into its genetic causes; no new clinical results are reported.

In this case report, a benign trichoadenoma was identified in a 42-year-old man as a skin-colored nodule on the cheek, with histopathology confirming the diagnosis and differentiating it from similar conditions like pilomatricoma and sebaceous cyst.

This case report describes a young man diagnosed with encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis who had unique bilateral optic disc colobomas, a previously unreported association with this syndrome.
