Introduction: Skin diseases in paediatric age are often distressing conditions with significant impact in children’s psychosocial development. Additionally, systemic therapeutic options are often limited in childhood, due to its potential toxicity in this vulnerable group. Phototherapy is therefore an endorsed option for photo-responsive dermatological conditions. Objective and Methods:This observational retr...
Chronic leg ulcers are persistent conditions that might be a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, with great impact in health care costs and patients’ quality of life. We report a case of a 60-year-old woman, with long-lasting recalcitrant leg ulcers, which led to left leg amputation 10 years ago. Several attempts to heal the right leg were made, including skin grafting in three different occasions and several...
Adnexal skin tumours are rare conditions, and often clinically indistinguishable from other cutaneous neoplasms. Porocarcinoma, a sweat gland malignant tumour, is more commonly found on extremities. Few reports in other anatomic locations can be found in the literature, and those arising on the scalp are even scarcer. The authors report the case of an 84-year-old diabetic man, with a tumour on the left parietal...

These plant-parasitic nematodes share some parasitism mechanisms, which ensure host-tissue invasion and host-defense evasion. The establishment and mainte...
