INTRODUCTION Cutaneous metastasis is an uncommon manifestation of internal malignancy. The rate of cutaneous metastasis in ovarian cancer is 3.5%, andmedian time of survival after appearance of cutaneous metastasis is 4 months. The lesions involved are often described as flesh colored, pink, or violaceous cutaneous or subcutaneous nodules, although reports of non-nodular metastases exist. We re...

Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic cutaneous fungal infection commonly caused by Fonsacea and Cladophialophora spp. Dermoscopy is a non-invasive, real-time diagnostic tool for rapid bedside diagnosis of various inflammatory and non-inflammatory disorders and can be an excellent modality for evaluation of cutaneous mycosis, for which it shows characteristic brown dots, crust, scales and yellow ora...

Background: Some treatment reported for cutaneous leishmaniasis. The studies examined the impact of the paromomycin has different characteristics and results. The aim of the present study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of all randomized clinical trials evaluating the effectiveness of paromomycin in the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Iran.Methods: Literature search...

In this chapter, cutaneous metastases from malignant melanoma will be analyzed from a clinical and a prognostic point of view. This non rare condition is often distressing for the patient, as cutaneous lesions increase progressively in number and size and are frequently worsened by ulceration, bleeding and pain. After a general introduction about the incidence of cutaneous involvement in melano...

Cutaneous manifestations of Lyme borreliosis in Europe include erythema migrans (EM) and acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (ACA); the most common non-cutaneous manifestations are Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) and Lyme arthritis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the gender distribution of patients with these clinical manifestations of Lyme borreliosis. Data on gender were obtained from ...

Perforating necrobiosis lipoidica (PNL) is a very rare variant of necrobiosis lipoidica (NL), almost always associated with diabetes. A non-diabetic 43-year-old man referred to us with a gradually enlarging plaque on his forehead. The patient was initially diagnosed with cutaneous tuberculosis based on the histopatholo

We report an imported case of cutaneous leishmaniasis in a 37-year-old man from Saudi Arabia caused by Leishmania major. He presented with non-healing nodulo-ulcerative lesions with a "volcanic crater" on the lower limbs. It was clearly cutaneous leishmaniasis - a rare disease in China - as reflected by the patient's clinical history, the lesions' morphology, histopathological examination, cult...

The cortical system underlying perceptual ability to localize tactile and noxious cutaneous stimuli in humans is still incompletely understood. We used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to transiently interfere with the function of the parietal cortex, at different times after the beginning of noxious or non-noxious mechanical stimulation of the hairy skin overlying the dorsal surface of ...

BACKGROUND Acquired immune deficiency syndrome related Kaposi's sarcoma (AIDS-KS) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. We describe for the first time a proportion of patients with AIDS-KS who presented with no evidence of cutaneous disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS From our cohort of 5932 individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) treated in the HAART er...
