An observational study comparing the number, the localization and the dermoscopic patterns of melanocytic nevi in cutaneous melanoma and basal cell carcinoma patients
Conclusions: Higher number of nevi on the head and forearms; and more nevi showing homogenous pattern on the trunk and complex pattern on the forearms were the hallmarks of nevi in melanoma patients in comparison to basal cell carcinoma patients. (Source: Indian Journal of Dermatology)

Case series to depict the outcomes of commonly available laboratory investigations in molluscum-like skin lesions among HIV positive patients
This study was conducted among four patients with HIV who had molluscum-like skin lesions. Shave biopsy was performed on all the patients and the specimens were sent for potassium hydroxide (KOH) mount/gram stain, fungal culture and histopathological examination. The tissue samples from cases 1, 2, 3 and 4 are mentioned as samples A, B, C and D, respectively. KOH mount showed yeast-like rounded bodies around 6 μm in size in samples A and B. The KOH mount in samples C and D showed septate branching hyphae. KOH mount in sample C also showed large rounded bodies around 35 μm which were identified as mo...

Unilateral syndactyly, hemihypertrophy, and hyperpigmentation with mosaic 2q35 deletion
We present a case of a 1-year-old child with a unique constellation of symptoms of unilateral syndactyly, hemihypertrophy, and skin hyperpigmentation. Karyotype from peripheral blood was normal. We found genetic aberration (mosaic 2q35 deletion) in the present case from fibroblast cultured from the affected area. This unique constellation of symptoms was previously reported once but genetic study was not done from the affected tissue. This case highlights the need of considering fibroblast culture-based genetic study rather than doing simple karyotype from peripheral blood. Genetic study also established the molecular basi...

De Sanctis-Cacchione syndrome (DCS) formerly known as xerodermic idiocy is characterised by cutaneous photosensitivity, microcephaly, mental retardation, short stature, hypogonadism, spasticity, peripheral neuropathy and sensorineural deafness. Here in, we present the case of a four and half years old male child with features of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) with a typical bird like facies and sunken eyes who had history of photosensitive pruritic pigmentary skin lesions on sun ex...

A case of primary cutaneous CD4 & #43; small/medium T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder
We report the case of a 59-year-old female who presented with nodules on the left chest for 3 years. Dermatological examination showed four red nodules localized on the left chest with angiotelectasis without tenderness. The histopathological manifestation was consistent with the diagnosis of primary cutaneous CD4+ small/medium T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. We focus on the clinical appearance, histopathological features, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis of primary cutaneous CD4+ small/medium T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder.

Caffeine in skincare: Its role in skin cancer, sun protection, and cosmetics
Marcus L Elias, Alexa F Israeli, Raman MadanIndian Journal of Dermatology 2023 68(5):546-550
Caffeine is ubiquitous in our society—not only in the drinks consumed but also increasingly in dermatologic topicals. Given that coffee and caffeine are increasingly used for the production of many dermatologic anti-cancer topicals, sunscreens, and cosmetics, it is of imperative importance to review the basic science and clinical evidence for such claims. In this concise review, we outline the current evidence. (Source: Indian Journal of Dermatology)

Immunohistochemical evaluation of C4d and C3d markers in bullous pemphigoid as a substitute for direct immunofluorescence technique
Conclusion: The immunohistochemical specificity of C4d and C3d on tissue blocks is the same as that of direct immunofluorescence test on fresh tissue, but it is less sensitive, so positive results for C3d and C4d immunohistochemical staining on paraffin blocks can be used to confirm the diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid.
