A Case of Steatocystoma Simplex Involving the Scalp
230 A Case of Steatocystoma Simplex Involving the Scalp Dong Nyeok Hyun, M.D., Jong Hoon Won, M.D., Joon Soo Park, M.D., Hyun Chung, M.D. Department of Dermatology, School of Medicine, Catholic University of Daegu, Daegu, Korea Steatocystoma is a benign adnexal tumor originating from the pilosebaceous duct junction which can be classified into two groups (steatocystoma simplex and steatocystoma multiplex). Steatocystoma simplex, which presents as a solitary lesion, is very rare. Steatocystoma simplex occurs most commonly on the face and the case reported herein involving the scalp is extremely rare. A 49-year-old man presented for evaluation and treatment of a solitary papule on the right parietal scalp which had persisted for a period of 1 year. The histopathologic examination revealed a thin-walled cyst consisting of stratified squamous epithelium with hyaline cuticle that lacked a stratum granulosum. Based on clinical and histologic findings, we diagnosed this case as steatocystoma simplex of the scalp and report this rare case.

Pathogenesis of Rosacea Anetta E
REVIEW Pathogenesis of Rosacea Anetta E. Reszko, MD, PhD; Richard D. Granstein, MD Rosacea is a chronic, common skin disorder whose pathogenesis is incompletely understood. An inter- play of multiple factors, including genetic predisposition and environmental, neurogenic, and microbial factors, may be involved in the disease process. Rosacea subtypes, identified in the recently published standard classification system by the National Rosacea Society Expert Committee on the Classification and Staging of Rosacea, may in fact represent different disease processes, and identifying subtypes may allow investigators to pursue more precisely focused studies. New developments in molecular biology and genetics hold promise for elucidating the interplay of the multiple factors involved in the pathogen- esis of rosacea, as well as providing the bases for potential new therapies. osacea is a common, chronic skin disorder and secondary features needed for the clinical diagnosis primarily affecting the central and con- of rosacea.

Cancer Immunoprevention: a Case Report Raising the Possibility of “Immuno-Interception” Jessica G
CANCER PREVENTION RESEARCH | RESEARCH BRIEF Cancer Immunoprevention: A Case Report Raising the Possibility of “Immuno-interception” Jessica G. Mancuso1, William D. Foulkes1,2,3, and Michael N. Pollak1,2 ABSTRACT ◥ Immune checkpoint blockade therapy provides substan- or neoplastic lesions over a period of 19 years (mean tial benefits for subsets of patients with advanced cancer, 7.5 neoplasms/year, range 2–26) prior to receiving but its utility for cancer prevention is unknown. Lynch pembrolizumab immunotherapy as part of multi- syndrome (MIM 120435) is characterized by defective modality treatment for invasive bladder cancer. He not DNA mismatch repair and predisposition to multiple only had a complete response of the bladder cancer, but cancers. A variant of Lynch syndrome, Muir–Torre also was noted to have an absence of new cancers during a syndrome (MIM 158320), is characterized by frequent 22-month follow-up period. This case adds to the rationale gastrointestinal tumors and hyperplastic or neoplastic skin for exploring the utility of immune checkpoint blockade tumors. We report the case of a man with Muir–Torre forcancerprevention,particularlyforpatientswithDNA syndrome who had 136 cutaneous or visceral hyperplastic repair deficits. Introduction There is an obvious clinical need to reduce cancer incidence in patients with DNA repair deficits, and prophylactic surgery The clinically demonstrated utility of antiviral vaccines to is commonly employed. Clinical trials designed to evaluate reduce risk of virally initiated cancers represents a major strategies to reduce cancer incidence are challenging: in popu- success in cancer immunoprevention. There is interest in the lations where baseline risk is low, a large number of subjects and possibility that immunoprevention may also be useful where long follow-up periods are required. -

CIUREA (1) Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova; (2) Departament of E.N.T., Emergency University Hospital, Craiova, (3) Department of Pathology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova ABSTRACT The aim of the article is to present an update on the pathophysiology, clinical features and treatment of rhinophyma. A 56 years old patient, living in urban area, presented with a giant rhinophyma which caused him not only upper airways obstruction and difficulty in eating, but also aesthetic and psycho-social disadvantages.The treatment of the patient was a surgical intervention consisting in removal of the nasal tumor and split-thickness skin grafting of the defect. The aesthetic result after surgical intervention was very good, there were no postoperative complications or recurrences.Rhinophyma represents the most advanced form of acne rosacea. The diagnosis is easy to establish based on the clinical features of the disease. In advanced forms of rhinophyma, when the tumor is giant, the main method of treatment is surgery. KEY WORDS rhinophyma , sebaceous hyperplasia, nasal tumor Introduction Rhinophyma, exuberant hypertrophic acne, with tumoral aspect of the skin of nasal pyramid is characterized by large, bulbous, erythematous appearance of the nose. It can also cause upper airways obstruction and difficulty in eating. The word rhinophyma is derived from the Greek word “rhis” meaning nose and “phyma” meaning growth .This disease mainly occurs in men after 50 years. -

Benign adnexal neoplasms are more common than malignant lesions. Aim: To study histopathology of skin adnexal neoplasms and to correlate with the clinical profile. Methodology: 51cases with a diagnosis of skin adnexal neoplasm over a 5 year period reported in the Department of Pathology, Mysore Medical College & Research Institute were included in the study. Histopathological examination was done on Haematoxylin& Eosin stained slides and corroborated with special stains wherever required. Results: Skin adnexal tumors were most common in the age group of 40 to 49 years (21.56%, 11/51). Male to female ratio was 1:1.68. The head and neck region was the most common site affected (64.70%, 33/51) with 39.21% (20/51) caseslocated on the face. 74.50% (38/51) cases were benign and 25.49% (13/51) cases were malignant. The sweat gland tumors formed the largest group involving 43.13% (22/51) cases followed by the hair follicle tumors 37.25% (19/51) followed by sebaceous gland tumors 19.60% (10/51). -

It is quite common for people to have a minor amount of an athlete's foot condition. This would appear as slight scaling and/or itching between the toes. In addition, patients may have thickened toenails as part of the athlete's foot condition. Again the problem on the feet is very common and often patients are not even aware of it. In some patients, however, the athlete's foot fungus can spread to another area of the body. For some strange and unknown reason, it seems to affect only one hand. That is why the condition is called 2 foot - 1 hand syndrome. It is not clear why the problem develops in only one hand or why the right or left is involved in some patients. Fortunately there is very effective treatment to control this minor skin problem. If the problem with the superficial fungus infection is confined to the skin, then a short course of treatment with an oral antibiotic is all that is required. This antibiotic is very safe and normally clears the skin up fairly rapidly. It is often used with a topical cream to speed the healing process. If, however, the fingernails of the affected hand are also involved then a more prolonged course of the antibiotic will be necessary. -

These have multiple extraintestinal manifestations, with those of the skin appearing after the in- testinal clinical presentation. These are classified as: granulomatous dermatosis, reactive dermatosis, and those secondary to treatment of IBD, and other dermatosis.
