Abrocitinib, an oral small-molecule Janus Kinase 1 (JAK1) inhibitor, is primarily approved for treating moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in adults and adolescents aged 12 and older. This review examines the emerging off-label uses of Abrocitinib. We identified 37 papers reporting on the use of Abrocitinib in various conditions other than AD. The most commonly reported uses were for vitiligo, prurigo nodularis, and hand eczema, with 12 cases each. There were also 10 cases of lichen sclerosus and chronic pruritus of unknown origin and 5 cases each of pityriasis rubra pilaris alopecia areata. Additionally, erythematotelangiectatic rosacea and steroid-induced rosacea were reported in four cases each. Other conditions treated with Abrocitinib were noted, but these mostly had only one or two reported cases. Interestingly, out of the 103 patients reviewed, all studies reported favorable clinical outcomes and satisfactory results, with the exception of one isolated case where Abrocitinib was used to treat erythematotelangiectatic rosacea.

An inverted papilloma is a medical condition in which epithelial cells placed on the surface grow in depth into the underlying supporting tissue. The case of a 68-year-old man with a 6-month history of right-sided complete nasal obstruction, who was referred to the ENT Department of our hospital, is presented. The associated symptoms were represented by repeated epistaxis, rhinorrhea and anosmia. From a clinical point of view, a polypous reddish-gray irregular mass, with cauliflower-like appearance, has been described. The formation was friable, richly vascularized, and with minor bleeding on light touch. The patient was diagnosed with inverted papilloma which was treated by endoscopic surgery. By analyzing the clinical, histochemical and immunohistochemical aspects of this case, the cause of tumor growth and its potential for malignant transformation were established. Many particularities are presented in this article: increased regional aggressiveness, its ethmoidal sinus origin, specific symptomatology, paraclinical examinations, all of which were useful in choosing a customized therapy and follow-up program.

The pleomorphic adenoma, also known as mixed tumor, presents an epithelial and mesenchymal histological structure, being also called epithelioma with altered stroma. The pleomorphic adenoma has a frequency of 70% of major salivary gland tumors, being located preponderantly at the level of parotid gland (52-84%), at the level of submandibular glands (7-17%) and at the level of the other salivary minor salivary glands (3-8%). The purpose of our study was the histopathological analysis of 45 cases of pleomorphic adenoma. The tumors were characterized by an increased structural pleomorphism, given by the multitude of cytological differences and proliferation patterns, and on the other side by the diversity of stromal component.
