ABSTRACT
This article presents the case of a 25-year-old Moroccan male who contracted Orf disease (Ecthyma contagiosum), a common zoonotic viral infection in sheep and goats. The disease, caused by a parapoxvirus, can be transmitted to humans through contact with infected animals. The patient developed painful lesions on his fingers after interacting with a sheep during the Feast of Sacrifice. Diagnosis was clinically established considering exposure history and lesion characteristics. Treatment involved local antiseptics and 2% fusidic acid cream. The lesions resolved spontaneously over a few weeks without functional impairment.

Skin involvement in Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) is rare. The diagnosis can be difficult, mainly due to the wide range of cutaneous lesions that can be observed, but also due to the differential diagnosis, even after the immunohistochemical staining. We present the case of a 30-year-old man who presented with a painful cutaneous nodular lesion; biopsy and immunohistochemical stains were consistent with classic HL. The patient was treated with adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastin, and dacarbazine (ABVD) with complete remission.
