Fourth Issue of the JAOCD is the best yet! Well things do just keep getting better! This is our fourth issue of the JAOCD. Each issue has gotten better and more informative. As a member of the AOCD, you should take great pride in our publication. We have more residents in our programs then ever. The Education Evaluation Committee (EEC) has made it mandatory for each resident to submit their annual paper for publication to a medical journal. The residents have had the requirement to write one paper each year of their residency that is suitable for publication. It will require a very small effort on the resident’s behalf to take the next step and submit their manuscript for consideration for publication. As the editors of the JAOCD, we hope that the residents will consider the JAOCD when the time comes for them to submit their annual papers. They will see that it is a relatively easy process and it is our hope that they will be encouraged to submit other papers throughout their three years of residency. We continue to strive for improvement and growth in every aspect of our journal. We continue to strive for the next milestone and be able to publish the JAOCD four times a year. Again, when this happens, we will be able to have our journal listed in the Library of Congress as well as have it listed in Index Medicus. We will continue to solicit your contribution in the way of presenting an interesting case or even a pearl on office management. We require consistency. Consider becoming a consistent contributor, always looking out for what would be interesting to the readers of our journal. JAOCD Founding Sponsor We extend our sincere appreciation for continued support to our Founding Sponsors. Our deepest thank you goes to Allergan Skin Care, Connetics Corporation, Global Pathology Laboratory Services, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, Medicis-The Dermatology Company and 3M Pharmaceuticals who have made the financial commitment to the JAOCD.

    cancers Review Pathology and Classification of SCLC Maria Gabriela Raso * , Neus Bota-Rabassedas and Ignacio I. Wistuba * Department of Translational Molecular Pathology, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (M.G.R.); [email protected] (I.I.W.); Tel.: +1-713-834-6026 (M.G.R.); +1-713-563-9184 (I.I.W.) Simple Summary: Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), is a high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma defined by its aggressiveness, poor differentiation, and somber prognosis. This review highlights cur- rent pathological concepts including classification, immunohistochemistry features, and differential diagnosis. Additionally, we summarize the current knowledge of the immune tumor microenvi- ronment, tumor heterogeneity, and genetic variations of SCLC. Recent comprehensive genomic research has improved our understanding of the diverse biological processes that occur in this tumor type, suggesting that a new era of molecular-driven treatment decisions is finally foreseeable for SCLC patients. Abstract: Lung cancer is consistently the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and it ranks as the second most frequent type of new cancer cases diagnosed in the United States, both in males and females. One subtype of lung cancer, small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), is an aggressive, poorly differentiated, and high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma that accounts for 13% of all lung carcinomas. SCLC is the most frequent neuroendocrine lung tumor, and it is commonly presented as an advanced stage disease in heavy smokers. Due to its clinical presentation, it is typically diagnosed in small biopsies or cytology specimens, with routine immunostaining only. However, Citation: Raso, M.G.; immunohistochemistry markers are extremely valuable in demonstrating neuroendocrine features of Bota-Rabassedas, N.; Wistuba, I.I.

It is a form of hair shaft disorder with increased fragility. The condition is classified into inherited and acquired. Inherited forms may be either isolated or associated with numerous genetic diseases or syndromes (e.g., Menkes disease, Björnstad syndrome, Netherton syndrome, and Bazex-Dupré-Christol syndrome). Moreover, pili torti may be a feature of various ectodermal dysplasias (such as Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome and Ankyloblepharon-ectodermal defects-cleft lip/palate syndrome). Acquired pili torti was described in numerous forms of alopecia (e.g., lichen planopilaris, discoid lupus erythematosus, dissecting Citation: Hoffmann, A.; cellulitis, folliculitis decalvans, alopecia areata) as well as neoplastic and systemic diseases (such Wa´skiel-Burnat,A.; Zółkiewicz,˙ J.; as cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, scalp metastasis of breast cancer, anorexia nervosa, malnutrition, Blicharz, L.; Rakowska, A.; Goldust, M.; Olszewska, M.; Rudnicka, L.

  • Drug-Induced Cutaneous Toxicity
    ProvisionalChapter chapter 1 Drug-Induced Cutaneous Toxicity Katsuhiko Yoshizawa, Michiko Yuki and Katsuhiko Yoshizawa, Michiko Yuki and Airo Tsubura Airo Tsubura Additional information is available at the end of the chapter Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/64473 Abstract The skin is the largest organ in the body and is continually exposed to external stimuli, such as chemical and environmental substances. Cutaneous toxicity can be broadly classified according to the mechanism of onset, namely: contact dermatitis, i.e., damage resulting from contact with a substance (irritant dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, chemical burns); photosensitivity, i.e., caused by combined effects of a substance and ultraviolet light (phototoxic dermatitis, photoallergic contact dermatitis); contact urticaria; chemical-induced acne; pigmentary disturbance; drug rash; hair disturbance; nail disturbance; or tumor-induced. This review outlines the function and structure of the skin, outlining characteristics of these types of cutaneous toxicity. In recent years, advances have been made in the development of pharmaceutical products targeting specific molecules or genes and nanotechnology-based pharmaceutical products, raising concerns about the onset of toxicity by novel mechanisms involving new pharmaceutical products. Therefore, it is important to understand the basic toxicity-related changes described herein. Keywords: cutaneous toxicity, drugs, chemicals, toxicity studies 1. Introduction Cutaneous adverse drug or chemical reactions in patients are not common. Among hospitalized patients, the incidence of adverse drug reactions concerning the skin ranges from 1% to 3%; however, the actual prevalence is much higher, as many mild forms of cutaneous adverse reactions are not reported [1].

Neuroendocrine tumors of the larynx represent a rare group of neoplasms characterized by pathological and biological heterogeneity. The histological and immunohistochemical diagnosis is the most important step in the appropri- ate management of these tumors and the prognosis varies according to histological types. Conventional anatomical and func- tional imaging can be complementary for diagnosis, staging and monitoring of treatment response. MATERIAL AND METHODS. Here we report on a case of a laryngeal neuroendocrine small cell carcinoma occurring in a 67-year-old man who was referred to our clinic for clinical reevaluation, diagnosis and treatment. The clinical presentation, the histopathological and immunohistochemical examination and management of this kind of tumor are highlighted. CONCLUSION. Small cell neuroendocrine carcinomas are very aggressive neoplasms. Patients could benefit from surgery, but radiotherapy and chemotherapy remain the treatment of choice. Very low incidence of neuroendocrine tumors in the larynx and specifically very poor prognosis of neuroendocrine small cell carcinoma encouraged an extensive literature review. KEYWORDS: small cell carcinoma, laryngeal, neuroendocrine, prognosis. INTRODUCTION group of neoplasms, which share specific pathological and immunohistochemical features, with prognosis Neuroendocrine neoplasms of the larynx are a het- dependent on the tumor type.

  • Neuroendocrine Neoplasms Natasha Rekhtman, MD, Phd*
    24 Neuroendocrine Neoplasms Natasha Rekhtman, MD, PhD* General Definitions The subject of neuroendocrine neoplasms, starting with the definition of what neuroendocrine means, is thoroughly confusing to the beginner. This chapter reviews the basic concepts and definitions pertaining to this subject. Let us start with a definition of neuroendocrine. As the term implies, there are two components: “neuro” and “endocrine.” The “endocrine” quality refers to the secretory nature of neuroendocrine cells: they produce and secrete peptides and amines. The “neuro” quality refers to their ultrastruc- tural similarity to neurons: neuroendocrine cells store their secretory products in granules (i.e., dense-core granules), which bear resemblance to synaptic vesicles. Neuroendocrine cells are dif- ferent from neurons structurally (no processes) and by the fact that the secretory mode is paracrine rather than synaptic. Also note that not all that secretes is neuroendocrine: for example, thyroid and adrenal cortex are not neuroendocrine because their cells do not possess neurosecretory granules (they are simply endocrine). Thus, at the most basic level, neuroendocrine cells are defined as the presence of neurosecretory granules in nonneurons. Tumors derived from these cells have a char- acteristic “neuroendocrine morphology” and share expression of “neuroendocrine markers.” Neuroendocrine Markers In the past, neurosecretory granules were identified by electron microscopy and special stains. Currently these methods have been completely supplanted by immunohistochemical markers. These are called neuroendocrine markers and they include synaptophysin (SYN), chromogranin (CHR), neural-specific enolase (NSE), and CD56 (SYN and CHR specifically recognize dense-core granules). Note that these markers also recognize true neurons and neu- roblastic cells (primitive neurons).

Polyhalogenated hydrocarbons, coal tar and products, petrol, and other physical, chemical, and environmental agents are suggested to play a role in the etiology of occupational acne. The people working in the field of machine, chemistry, and electrical industry are at high risk. The various occupational acne includes chloracne, coal tar, and oil acne. The most common type in clinic is the comedones, and it is also seen as papule, pustule, and cystic lesions. Histopathological examination shows epidermal hyperplasia, while follicular and sebaceous glands are replaced by keratinized epidermal cells. Topical or oral retinoic acids and oral antibiotics could be used in treatment. The improvement in working conditions, taking preventive measures, and education of the workers could eliminate occupational acne as a problem.
