Reflectance confocal microscopy features of thin versus thick melanomas

In-vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) plays an increasingly important role in differential diagnosis of melanoma. The aim of the study was to assess typical confocal features of thin (≤1 mm according to Breslow index) versus thick (>1mm) melanomas.

Validation of an integrated dermoscopic scoring method in a European teledermoscopy web platform: the iDScore project

Although live and teledermoscopic examination have been successfully used to achieve non‐invasive diagnosis of melanocytic skin lesions (MSLs), early melanoma (EM) and atypical nevi (AN) continue to be a challenge, and none of the various algorithms proposed have been sufficiently accurate. We designed a scoring classifier diagnostic method, the iDScore, that combines clinical data of the patient with dermoscopic features of the MSL.

Diagnosis and treatment of basal cell carcinoma: European consensus-based interdisciplinary guidelines

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant tumour in white populations. Multidisciplinary experts from the European Dermatology Forum, the European Association of Dermato-Oncology and the European Organization of Research and Treatment of Cancer collaborated to develop recommendations on diagnosis and treatment of BCC. A new classification into 'easy-to-treat (common) BCC and 'difficult-to-treat' BCC is proposed.

Nipple and areola lesions: review of dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy features.

The differential diagnosis of nipple and areola complex (NAC) lesions encompasses a large spectrum of conditions from benign tumours to inflammatory diseases that could be challenging to recognize on clinical ground. While melanoma (MM) of the NAC is exceedingly rare, benign lesions are more frequent but could be difficult to distinguish from MM.

Effects of psoriasis treatment on genital warts: a case report. navigation-next-alternate

The use of immunosuppressive drugs predisposes to infections, as they block the most important stage in antiviral defense, which is the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte HLA-dependent response.

Relapse of psoriasis in patients who asked to discontinue etanercept after achieving a stable clinical remission.

There is increasing interest in discontinuing biological therapies in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis (PsO) who achieve a complete clinical remission, provided patients maintain clinical benefit.

The prevalent dermoscopic criterion to distinguish between benign and suspicious pink tumours

Pink skin tumours are difficult to differentiate, clinically and dermoscopically. In previous studies, mainly focused on pigmented lesions, pattern analysis provided the best sensitivity and specificity values, as compared to other algorithms.
