In order to evaluate the concept of the signature nevus we reviewed the histopathologic patterns of melanocytic nevi from patients having at least two nevi with similar histologic patterns. materials and methods Melanocytic nevi from patients with multiple melanocytic nevi having at least two with similar histologic pattern were retrieved retrospectively from the files of Dermatopathol- ogy Laboratory Inc., PC. keywords: histologic; melanocytic; nevi; nevus; patterns; signature cache: dpc-1000.pdf plain text: dpc-1000.txt item: #2 of 1806 id: dpc-1001 author: Talhari, Carolina; Mendes Schettini, José Antônio Pedro; Brunasso, Alexandra Maria Giovanna; Talhari, Sinesio; Massone, Cesare title: An unclear, chronic ulcer date: 2011 words: 1157 flesch: 49 summary: The Leishmania species are categorized into two groups: old World (southern Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia) and New World leishmaniasis (Latin America; also called American cutaneous leishmaniasis).

Introduction and Part 1 date: 2013 words: 24877 flesch: 45 summary: Acantholytic cells are observed in different kinds of processes pathologic, among those being inflammatory ones, such as pemphigus vulgaris, pemphigus foliaceus, paraneoplastic pemphigus, infection by herpes virus (herpes simplex, zoster, and varicella), and Grover’s disease; neoplastic ones, such as squamous-cell carcinoma of the solar keratotic type (so-called pseudoglandular squamous-cell car- cinoma); cystic ones, such as warty dyskeratoma; hamarto- matous ones, such as an epidermal nevus punctuated by foci of acantholytic dyskeratosis, and one that escapes categoriza- tion readily in the classification of classic pathology, namely, Darier’s disease. Moreover, acantholytic cells may be brought into being by different mechanisms, the two most common being immunologic, as in pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus, and secondary to the effects of products of neutro- phils as occurs in bullous impetigo and dermatitis herpetifor- mis. keywords: absence; acantholytic; apocrine; atrophy; carcinoma; cells; concept; definition; dermatology; dermatopathology; disease; eccrine; epidermis; fat; gland; hair; lesions; loss; nevus; process; skin; structures; term; tissue; type; word cache: dpc-952.pdf plain text: dpc-952.txt item: #1759 of 1806 id: dpc-953 author: Börve, Alexander; Terstappen, Karin; Sandberg, Carin; Paoli, John title: Mobile teledermoscopy—there’s an app for that! date: 2013 words: 4787 flesch: 54 summary: Malignant melanocytic lesions Melanoma 5 (7.2%) Melanoma in situ 7 (10.1%) Benign melanocytic lesions Dysplastic nevus 12 (17.4%) Benign nevus 6 (8.7%) Sending digital images of skin lesions with relevant clini- cal information to a dermatologist for his/her opinion is known as teledermatology [6]. keywords: accuracy; dermatologist; ftf; lesions; melanocytic; study; tds; teledermoscopy cache: dpc-953.pdf plain text: dpc-953.txt item: #1760 of 1806 id: dpc-954 author: Pellizzari, Gary; Magee, Jill; Weedon, David; Rosendahl, Cliff title: A tiny invasive melanoma: a case report with dermatoscopy and dermatopathology date: 2013 words: 1722 flesch: 57 summary: Clinically it was noted to be darker than surrounding PSLs and dermatoscopically pseudopods and radial lines were arranged circumferentially around a A tiny invasive melanoma: a case report with dermatoscopy and dermatopathology Gary Pellizzari, MBBS1, Jill Magee M.D.2, David Weedon, M.D.3, Cliff Rosendahl, MBBS4 1 Nepean Family Medical Centre and Skin Detective, Victoria, Australia 2 Dorevitch Pathology, Heidelberg, Australia 3 Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology, Brisbane, Australia 4 School of Medicine, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia Key words: melanoma, small melanoma, dermatoscopy, dermoscopy, Helsing P, Loeb M.

Dermatopathologic-dermatoscopic correlation showed that Reed nevi were character- ized by a dermatoscopic pattern of peripheral radial lines or pseudopods (fascicular growth pattern), whereas pigmented Spitz nevi were typified by a pattern consisting of clods (nested growth pattern). keywords: dermatopathologic; dermatoscopic; melanocytes; nevi; nevus; pattern; pigmented; reed; spitz cache: dpc-995.pdf plain text: dpc-995.txt item: #1803 of 1806 id: dpc-996 author: Jeunon, Thiago; Jeunon Sousa, Maria Auxiliadora; Santos-Rodrigues, Nilton; Lopes, Raquel title: Langerhans cell histiocytosis—a case report date: 2012 words: 2545 flesch: 51 summary: Observation | Dermatol Pract Concept 2012;2(1):4 25 Langerhans cell histiocytosis – a case report Thiago Jeunon, M.D.1, Maria Auxiliadora Jeunon Sousa, M.D.2, Nilton Santos-Rodrigues, M.D.2, Raquel Lopes, M.D.3 1 Departments of Dermatology and Pathology, Hospital Federal de Bonsucesso and ID-Investigação em Dermatologia, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 2 ID-Investigação em Dermatologia, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 3 Department of Dermatology, Hospital Federal de Bonsucesso, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Key words: Langerhans cell histiocytosis, Langerhans cell, dermatology, histopathology, diabetes insipidus, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism Citation: Jeunon T, Jeunon Sousa MA, Santos-Rodrigues N, Lopes R.
