  • Dermatologists' Perceptions on the Utility and Limitations
    RESEARCH/Original Article Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare 2021, Vol. 27(3) 166–173 Dermatologists’ perceptions on the ! The Author(s) 2019 utility and limitations of teledermatology Article reuse guidelines: sagepub.com/journals-permissions after examining 55,000 lesions DOI: 10.1177/1357633X19864829 journals.sagepub.com/home/jtt Mara Giavina Bianchi , Andre Santos and Eduardo Cordioli Abstract Introduction: Few studies have assessed the perception of teledermatologists about the utility and limitations of teledermatology, especially to diagnose a broad range of skin diseases. This study aimed to evaluate dermatologists’ confidence in teledermatology, its utility and limitations for dermatological conditions in primary care. Methods: An analytical study that used a survey for dermatologists who diagnosed 30,916 patients with 55,012 lesions through teledermatology during a 1-year project in S~ao Paulo, Brazil. Results: Dermatologists found teledermatology useful for triage and diagnosis, especially for xerotic eczema, pigmen- tary disorders and superficial infections. Their confidence in teledermatology was statistically higher by the end of the project (p ¼ 0.0012). Limitations included some technical issues and the impossibility to suggest how soon the patient should be assisted face-to-face by a dermatologist. The most treatable group of diseases by teledermatology was superficial infections (92%). The use of dermoscopy images would significantly increase the confidence to treat atypical naevi and malignant tumours (p < 0.0001 and p ¼ 0.0003 respectively). Follow-ups by teledermatology or feedback from primary-care physicians would be desirable, according to the dermatologists. Discussion: We found it interesting that dermatologists became increasingly confident in teledermatology after the project and how they classified teledermatology as useful for triage, diagnosis and even treatment of most types of skin conditions followed at primary care.

  • Proliferating Trichilemmal Cyst of the Scalp: Nine Cases and Literature Review
    Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Research Article ISSN: 2398-4937 Proliferating trichilemmal cyst of the scalp: Nine cases and literature review ElBenaye J1,3*, Sinaa M2,3, Elkhachine Y1,3, Sakkah A1,3, Jakar A1 and Elhaouri M1 1Department of Dermatology, Moulay Ismail Military Hospital, Meknes, Morocco 2Department of Cytopathology, Moulay Ismail Military Hospital, Meknes, Morocco 3Department of Medicine and Pharmacy, Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah University (USMBA), Fes, Morocco Abstract Background: proliferating trichilemmal cyst (PTC) is a rare adnexal tumor, primarily sitting on the scalp of elderly women. Its evolution is generally benign despite the rare malignant cases described. We report a series of 9 cases of which one is malignant and metastatic. Material and methods: We retrospectively reviewed data of all patients with PTC seen at department of dermatology in the Meknes military hospital, between January 2013 and December 2017. Results: Nine cases of PTC were diagnosed, which 8 in elderly women, with 62 years mean age. Trauma was found in one third of cases correlated with rapid growth of the tumor. The latter was symptomatic in 2/3 of the cases. Ulceration involved only the malignant case. The size varied from 1,5 to 12 cm. Recurrence after surgery was noted in 2 cases (malignant tumor and multi-cystic tumor). Discussion: PTC appears to have a well-distinguished profile of the simple trichilemmal cyst. Some clinical and histological features may constitute prognostic factors of aggressiveness. Histological and immunohistochemical study is crucial in the management. A large excision remains the only guarantee of complete remission without recurrence or metastasis.

Present for 4 weeks. Nodular fasciitis is a self-limited pseudosarcomatous proliferation that may cause clinical alarm due to its rapid growth. It is most common in young adults but occurs across a wide age range. This lesion is typically 3-5 cm and composed of bland fibroblasts and myofibroblasts without significant cytologic atypia arranged in a loose storiform pattern with areas of extravasated red blood cells. Mitoses may be numerous, but atypical mitotic figures are absent. Nodular fasciitis is a benign process, and recurrence is very rare (1%). Recent work has shown that the MYH9-USP6 gene fusion is present in approximately 90% of cases, and molecular techniques to show USP6 gene rearrangement may be a helpful ancillary tool in difficult cases or on small biopsy samples.

Histopathological Profile of Surgically Excised Scalp and Skull Lesions. Cyprus J Med Sci 2018; 3: 63-7. BACKGROUND/AIMS Although subcutaneous lesions of the scalp are more common than those of the skull, few studies in literature have assessed the frequency of scalp and skull diseases. The goal of this study was to establish the frequency and main histopathological findings of these lesions. Our study is one of the largest series and shows that the incidence of surgically excised scalp masses includes an array of diseases. MATERIAL and METHODS We reviewed 265 extracranial masses from 173 patients. The mean age of the patients, gender distribution, localization and characteristics of lesions, histopathological type and radiological features were analyzed. RESULTS One-hundred (57.8%) patients were males and 73 (42.2%) were females. The mean age was 42.98 (range, 5-87). In total, 261 were within the scalp, 1 involved the scalp and skull and 3 were within the limits of the skull. Six lesions exhibited malignant features. There were 101 trichilemmal cysts; 74 epidermal cysts; 38 intradermal nevus; 8 verruca vulgaris;

  • Cysts a Cyst Is a Benign, Round, Dome-Shaped Encapsulated Lesion
    Cysts A cyst is a benign, round, dome-shaped encapsulated lesion that contains fluid or semi-fluid material. It may be firm or fluctuant and often distends the overlying skin. There are several types of cyst. The most common are described here. Pseudocyst? Cysts that are not surrounded by a capsule are better known as pseudocysts. These commonly arise in acne. Cysts Epidermoid cysts are due to the proliferation of epidermal cells within the dermis. So basically the layers of skin that are supposed to be on the outside instead invaginate in. Skin is tucked in to form a sack that is lined by healthy epidermal cells that continue to multiply, mature and form keratin. These can be found just about anywhere on the body. A central pore or punctum may be present. Keratinous contents are soft, cheese-like and malodorous. The origin of a trichilemmal cyst is hair root sheath and, thus, these are often found on the scalp and are very firm. Inheritance is autosomal dominant. The origin of steatocystoma is the sebaceous duct within the hair follicle. A solitary steatocystoma is known as steatocystoma simplex. More often, there are multiple lesions (steatocystoma multiplex) on the chest, upper arms, axillae, neck and scrotum or vulva and this is usually an autosomal dominantly inherited disorder. The cysts arise in the late teens and 20s due to the effect of androgens and persist lifelong. They are freely moveable, smooth flesh to yellow color papules 3–30 mm in diameter. There is no central punctum. The content of the cysts is predominantly sebum.

Letter to the Editor Dear editor, Trichilemmal cyst, also known as pilar cyst, is a dermal epithelial cyst developed at the expense of the hair follicle. It affects Caucasian women with a mean age of 60 years more frequently [1]. They are most often asymptomatic, localized mainly on the scalp. These tumors are often benign but local recurrences are sometimes aggressive. The risk of malignant change of trichilemmal cyst is rare. We describe an uncommon case of squamous cell carcinoma complicated a trichilemmal cyst.

The evaluation and treatment histories of this patient are augmented by a detailed review of the literature on this condition, especially with respect to cases of rare malignant transformation to squamous cell carcinoma. Whereas proliferating pilar or trichilemmal cysts are uncommon tumors that rarely undergo malignant transformation [1]. Squamous cell carcinomas with metastasis to regional head and neck lymph nodes rarely develop from proliferating pilar cysts. However, such degeneration has been reported in the literature [2]. These lesions are fraught with significant morbidity and mortality, and their treatment usually consists of substantial surgical excision. Histopathologic evidence of malignancy often demands adjuvant regimens of radiation therapy (+/-chemotherapy) [3]. The purpose of this case report is to present a patient with an ulcerative, necrotic scalp mass and lymphadenopathy whose initial biopsy demonstrated squamous cell carcinoma.
