RESUMO
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a malignant glandular neoplasm that commonly occurs in the salivary glands. Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PCACC) is a rare form of ACC that primarily presents on the skin. A diagnosis of a primary tumor arising in the skin can be made only after excluding metastatic deposits from other, more common sites. PCACC tends to infiltrate and recur locally but rarely metastasizes to distant organs and lymph nodes. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a PCACC of the chest wall in Korea. We report this case and literature review to raise awareness of this rare tumor.
RESUMO
Background@#Rosacea is a common skin disease associated with increased expression of cathelicidin, kallikrein 5 (KLK5), toll-like receptor (TLR) 2, and abnormal barrier function. Recently, it was reported that hyaluronan (HA) could influence immune function via various receptors and HA oligosaccharides (oligo-HAs) could suppress TLR-dependent cytokine expression. @*Objective@#We investigated if oligo-HAs could influence on inflammation and epidermal barrier induced by LL-37, which had a major role in rosacea. @*Methods@#We cultured normal human keratinocytes and treated them with LL-37 and oligo-HAs or the LL-37 alone. A rosacea-like BALB/c mouse model injected with LL-37 was used to determine the role of oligo-HAs in rosacea in vivo. @*Results@#Interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α release was suppressed when keratinocytes were co-treated with oligo- HAs and LL-37 compared with keratinocytes treated with LL-37 only. Treatment with oligo-HAs resulted in decreased transepidermal water loss as well as improved redness. Decreased inflammatory cell infiltration, IL-17A and KLK5 expression and increased CD44 and filaggrin expression were also noted. @*Conclusion@#Our findings suggest that oligo-HA improves rosacea-like phenotype through anti-inflammatory and epidermal barrier improving effect.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The incidence of cutaneous malignant tumors and premalignant lesions has recently increased worldwide. However, studies investigating the incidence and clinical manifestations of cutaneous malignant tumors and premalignant lesions in Korea are rare, especially in southeastern Gyeonggi-do Province. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the recent trends in the incidence of cutaneous malignant tumors and premalignant lesions in southeastern Gyeonggi-do Province. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 451 cases of cutaneous malignant tumors and 455 cases of premalignant lesions from 2006 to 2016. RESULTS: The average annual incidence rates of cutaneous malignant tumors and premalignant lesions among the total number of outpatients was 0.84% and 0.85%, respectively, and both these rates increased significantly over time. Basal cell carcinoma was most commonly diagnosed cutaneous malignant tumor (50.8%), followed by squamous cell carcinoma (24.6%), malignant melanoma (8.2%), and metastatic carcinoma (5.1%). The most common premalignant lesion was actinic keratosis (60.0%). The mean age of the patients with cutaneous malignant tumors and premalignant lesions was 68.8 years and 70.8 years, respectively. The ratio of male to female patients was 1 : 1.19 for cutaneous malignant tumors and 1 : 2.01 for premalignant lesions. The face was the most common site for both cutaneous malignant tumors and premalignant lesions (at 71.9% and 75.8%, respectively). CONCLUSION: This retrospective study provided data about the incidence and clinical patterns of cutaneous malignant tumors and premalignant lesions among patients in southeastern Gyeonggi-do Province.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease. Vanishing bile duct syndrome (VBDS) is a rare cause of progressive cholestasis. Both syndromes are usually associated with the use of specific drugs. VBDS in patients with SJS is most commonly associated with drug hypersensitivity. To our knowledge, to date, the literature contains only a single report of toxic epidermal necrolysis associated with VBDS in Korea. We report a case of drug-induced SJS with acute onset of VBDS and present a review of the literature in this context. This case highlights the importance of awareness among clinicians regarding drug reactions, their severity, as well as diagnostic modalities and optimal management strategies in these cases.
