Abstract

Background: Giant basal cell carcinoma (GBCC) is a basal cell carcinoma (BCC) enlarged in a diameter more than 5cm. Since GBCCs are a highly infrequent entity and the occurrence rate is approximately 0.5–1% out of all BCC types, only anecdotal cases are reported, and causes and characteristics inducing development of this tumor are not defined. Objectives: Evaluate causative factors and clinico-histological characteristics of GBCCs. Methods: The study is a 6-month, hospital-based case series study performed in 12 Italian dermatologic centers. Results: A total of 59 cases and 458 control BCCs were collected. No significant differences existed between the two groups if we take into account social or cultural factors. The average duration of GBCCs is considerably longer than controls. GBCCs are located on unexposed areas while BCCs are on areas not usually covered by clothes. Superficial histological subtype was more frequent in the BCCs group, while infiltrative in GBCCs. GBCCs showed significantly higher local invasiveness, and greater metastatic capacity. More than half of GBCCs had been previously treated with one or more treatments. Conclusions: Patients with GBCCs appear to belong to two categories: (i) those who present with GBCC due to delay in accessing medical attention, and (ii) those who have BCCs previously treated with inappropriate strategies. Only very few cases can be carried out with intrinsic biological features of tumor aggressiveness. Social and cultural conditions do not appear to be involved in the development of GBCCS. These observations may help clinicians in selecting correct therapeutic strategies in the treatment of BCCs, which give rise to GBCC.

Abstract

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a neutrophilic dermatosis characterised by painful, necrotic ulcerations. PG is described as a rare disease: the world‐wide incidence is estimated to be around 3 to 10 cases per million population per year. These estimations are based mostly on case reports and retrospective case series; there are no prospective, multicentre studies on the matter. The apparent rarity of PG is in contrast with our clinical perception as dermatologists: in our opinion, PG is not so uncommon. Therefore, we decide to investigate the epidemiology of PG in the Italian population and confirm our clinical suspicions that it is not an orphan disease. We enrolled all patients diagnosed with PG in 8 Italian Dermatological Departments from 1st October 2014 to 1st November 2015, and we recorded their features. Our data, collected from 64 patients, are in accordance with those of the published literature regarding the epidemiology and features of PG. In an Italian population of roughly 8 million inhabitants of 7 provinces, we found an incidence of 5.17 new cases per million population per year. Unlike our predictions before the study, we confirmed the world‐wide incidence of PG. To our knowledge, this is the first observational, multicentre study on PG. We hope that it provides a stimulus for further researches on PG and for the creation of an Italian register.

Abstract

Onychomycosis is one of the most common dermatological diseases, primarily caused by dermatophytes, and sometimes, also by yeast and moulds. This study aims to clarify the frequency of isolated pathogens from mycotic toenails in the reference centre of the central Alpine mountain region of South Tyrol, northern Italy. Age and gender differences, types of pathogens and initial therapy used were also investigated. This is a retrospective study from 2004 to 2013 on the files of all patients with suspected onychomycosis in whom a cultural pathogen detection was performed. A total of 1565 patients were studied (943 women; 622 men), with a median age of 55 years. Fungal pathogens could be detected by culture in 49.5%. Significantly more pathogens could be grown in men (63.8%) than in women (39.9%, P < 0.0001). The most common pathogens grown were dermatophytes (53.3%), especially T. rubrum and T. interdigitale, followed by moulds (24.7%) and yeast (22%). Therapies prescribed were topical in 64.2% and systemic in 35.8% of the cases. Topical treatment was more frequent in older patients (P < 0.05). In northern Italy, dermatophytes are the most common causative agents for onychomycosis. Fungal pathogens were more commonly found in men than in women and topical treatment was more frequent in older patients.

Abstract

Human parapoxvirus infections are rare, self-limiting, zoonotic diseases. A 35-year-old veterinarian presented with a generalized rash of large umbilicated vesicles that appeared after antibiotic treatment for erysipelas on the forearm. The erysipelas arose from an erupted pustular thumb lesion that appeared after examining a sheep. An outbreak of chickenpox in the village suggested parapoxvirus or varicella zoster virus (VZV) was the most likely agent. No poxvirus was detected by electron microscopy or in cell cultures from lesion material. PCR revealed parapoxvirus DNA with a sequence similar to orf-viruses from Finland. Orf-virus immunofluorescence showed a titre increase, supporting the parapoxvirus diagnosis. VZV was not detected by PCR, but varicella antibodies increased three-fold in serum samples drawn two weeks apart. In addition, the patient had high antibody titres for measles and reported recent contact with individuals exposed to an outbreak of measles in nearby Austria. To explain the unusually generalized symptoms in this young and healthy patient, these findings could be variously interpreted as: i) a booster by community VZV infections; ii) a subclinical VZV (re)infection that was superinfected by the parapoxvirus; iii) an orf-virus mediated immune stimulation; iv) a post-infectious syndrome; or v) a temporary immunosuppression by subclinical measles.

Abstract

Background: The negative pigment network (NPN) is seen as a negative of the pigmented network and it is purported to be a melanoma-specific structure. Objectives: We sought to assess the frequency, sensitivity, specificity, and odds ratios (ORs) of NPN between melanoma cases and a group of control lesions. Methods: Digitalized images of skin lesions from 679 patients with histopathological diagnosis of dermatofibroma (115), melanocytic nevus (220), Spitz nevus (139), and melanoma (205) were retrospectively collected and blindly evaluated to assess the presence/absence of NPN. Results: The frequency of occurrence of NPN was higher in the melanoma group (34.6%) than in Spitz nevus (28.8%), melanocytic nevus (18.2%), and dermatofibroma (11.3%) groups. An OR of 1.8 emerged for the diagnosis of melanoma in the presence of NPN as compared with nonmelanoma diagnosis. Conversely, for melanocytic nevi and dermatofibromas the OR was very low (0.5 and 0.3, respectively). For Spitz nevi the OR of 1.1 was not statistically significant. When comparing melanoma with dermatofibroma, melanocytic nevus, and Spitz nevus, we observed a significantly higher frequency of multicomponent pattern (68.1%), asymmetric pigmentation (92.9%), irregularly distributed NPN (87.3%), and peripheral location of NPN (66.2%) in melanomas. Limitations: Further studies can provide the precise dermoscopic-histopathologic correlation of NPN in melanoma and other lesions. Conclusions: The overall morphologic pattern of NPN, such as the irregular distribution and the peripheral location of NPN, along with the multicomponent pattern and the asymmetric pigmentation could be used as additional features in distinguishing melanoma from Spitz nevus and other benign lesions. © 2012 by the American Academy of Dermatology, Inc.
