R\uf6tliche L\ue4sion am Stamm

Anamnese 1 Ein 65-j\ue4hriger Patient, der im Gesichtsbereich bereits chronische Lichtsch\ue4den aufwies, wurde im Rahmen des Nierentransplantationsscreenings wegen einer neu aufgetretenen r\uf6tlichen L\ue4sion in unserer Ambulanz vorstellig. Der Patient selbst bemerkte die L\ue4sion nicht. Anamnese 2 Eine 59-j\ue4hrige Patientin kam wegen multipler N\ue4vi zur allj\ue4hrlichen Routinekontrolle. Die neu aufgetretene r\uf6tliche Papel am R\ufccken rechts war ihr nicht aufgefallen

Improving the early diagnosis of early nodular melanoma: can we do better?

Introduction: Cutaneous melanoma is the sixth most common malignant cancer in the USA. Among different subtypes of melanoma, nodular melanoma (NM) accounts about 14% of all cases but is responsible for more than 40% of melanoma deaths. Early diagnosis is the best method to improve melanoma prognosis. Unfortunately, early diagnosis of NM is particularly challenging given that patients often lack identifiable risk factors such as many moles or freckles. Moreover, early NM may mimic a range of benign skin lesions that are not routinely excised or biopsied in every day practice. For this reason, specific clinical and skin imaging clues have been proposed to improve early detection of NM.Areas covered: The review discusses about the noninvasive tools to diagnose thin melanoma, particularly NM. Expert commentary: Currently, dermatologists present a wide opportunity of diagnostic tools. Current data suggest that the early diagnosis of NM is a major challenge as the majority of early NM are symmetric, roundish, and lack specific pattern. Another promising strategy is based on recent data suggesting that artificial intelligence based on deep convolutional neural networking is able to outperform average dermatologist. Further research is necessary to validate the performance of this method in the real world and in the clinical setting

The prevailing dermoscopic vascular pattern in melanoma is influenced by tumor thickness and pigmentation type.

In non-pigmented skin tumors the diagnosis is mainly based on the evaluation of the vascular morphology and vessels\ub4 distribution dermoscopically [1-4]. However, up to date, no study formally correlated the prevailing vascular morphology with the thickness of melanoma according to Breslow and amount of pigmentation

Long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser using an “in motion” setting to treat telangiectatic rosacea

Background: Rosacea is an inflammatory condition of the face characterized in its early stages by flushing, erythema and telangiectasias. Objectives: We evaluate the efficacy of long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser on erythematousteleangiectasic rosacea (ETR). Methods: In a retrospective case study of 21 patients (14F, 7M) with an average age of 29 years (range 19-41), were treated with two sessions at a distance of one month, with phototype up to III (5 phototype 1, 14 phototype II, 2 phototype III) with a fluence of 20 J/cm2. Results: We observed a reduction of the erythematous component between 50% and 80% after two sessions, with an average pain score attributed to the treatment, measured by visual analogue scale (VAS), of 3. Conclusion: In this case series in which Nd:YAG laser had been used with a "'in motion" technique, we observed a reduction of the side effects and pain
