This discussion reviews the classification and naming of cutaneous cysts, proposing that cysts typically named cutaneous keratocyst and steatocystoma should be unified under the term "sebaceous duct cyst," but it reports no new clinical results.

This case study describes a 12-year-old boy with an unruptured epidermal inclusion cyst on his cheek, highlighting the role of dermatoscopy in diagnosing and differentiating cyst types for treatment.

In this study, 31 children with kerion Celsi were treated successfully with antifungal medications, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to prevent scarring and hair loss.

This case report presents a very rare instance of pilonidal sinus in the preauricular region, marking only the second known case documented in medical literature.

This study found that sphynx cats exhibit hair follicle dysplasia with abnormal hair shaft production, but without a reduction in the number of follicles, similar to murine KRT 71 mutants.

This study found that the presence of premature desquamation of the inner root sheath in noninflamed hair follicles is a relatively specific marker for diagnosing central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

This study observed that ultrastructural changes like lamellar bodies and electron-dense granules in the stratum corneum may aid in the early diagnosis of Netherton syndrome.

This case report highlights the importance of early mycological diagnostics, supported by dermoscopy and ultraviolet-enhanced fluorescence dermoscopy, in preventing scarring from kerion celsi-associated hair loss in children.

This review discusses atypical presentations of Brauer nevus, particularly in occipital and mid-frontal areas, and reports a higher occurrence in males, with detection usually at birth.

A rare skin growth was successfully removed without recurrence after one year.

This study suggests that hair cortisol measurement could serve as an alternative diagnostic method for Cushing’s disease, showing acceptable concordance with urinary free cortisol despite differing evaluated periods.

In this case report, a 21-year-old woman diagnosed with ACTH-independent Cushing syndrome showed improvement in symptoms, including a more regular menstrual cycle and lower hirsutism, after starting treatment with ketoconazole, although she developed hypertension.

This study observed inflammatory and granulomatous infiltration in alopecic nodules of the scalp and suggested that AANS should be considered in diagnoses of alopecic nodules.

This study observed that canine follicular tumors are an uncommon type of skin neoplasia in Croatian dogs, often benign but with a small percentage presenting malignancy, and vary based on the breed's hair growth type.

This study describes two new types of dermal keratinous cysts of the eyelids, derived from the pilosebaceous apparatus, each presenting distinct management challenges.

This case report and literature review highlights an unusual acne-like presentation of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus that doesn't improve with standard acne treatments, emphasizing the importance of considering CCLE in atypical acneiform eruptions.

This abstract discusses Alopecic and aseptic nodule of the scalp as a rare alopecia condition that may be underdiagnosed and reports doxycycline as a safe and effective treatment option.

This case study describes a 43-year-old Hispanic man with cicatricial alopecia of the scalp, and suggests tufted folliculitis as the most likely diagnosis.

This case report describes a rare instance of multiple sebaceous cysts over the scrotum in a 22-year-old man, highlighting the effectiveness of ultrasound imaging for diagnosis and the need for surgical intervention in severe cases.

This case study reports that a 6-year-old girl with pediculosis capitis experienced scalp pruritus, pustules, crusting, excoriation, and cicatricial alopecia but showed a good clinical response to permethrin and antibiotics, with no lice detected afterward.

This study found that the HoxC gene cluster is crucial for the development of hair and nails in mice, with key regulation by two mammalian-specific enhancers.

This case report describes the first known occurrence of urticaria pigmentosa in a domestic shorthair cat, where oral dexamethasone and cetirizine hydrochloride offered effective management following a comprehensive diagnostic work-up.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of pincer nail deformity in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus, potentially linked to Raynaud's phenomena as a contributing factor.

This research suggests that hair keratins evolved from claw keratins in a hairless ancestor, with Hoxc13 controlling their expression in tetrapods, evidenced by the knockout of Hoxc13 hindering claw formation in Xenopus tropicalis frogs.
