[Large intramuscular lipoma of the tensor fasciae latae muscle].

We present the case of a woman with a large intramuscular lipoma of the tensor fasciae latae muscle. Histologically, the diagnosis was confirmed and differentiated from other entities by immunohistochemical staining. Our case underlines the importance of radiologic and histologic differentiation of common lipomas from atypical adipose tissue tumors.

Treating Popliteal Fossa Perforating Vein Varicosis with Endovenous Laser Ablation: A Single-Center Observational Study.

Treating varicosities originating from a popliteal fossa perforating vein (PFPV) is challenging due to their proximity to nerves and complex morphology. Data on endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) for PFPV varicosis are limited. This retrospective, single-center study reviewed all primary varicose vein surgeries from May 2021 to December 2024.

Comparison of a novel aluminum lactate-based with an aluminum chloride-based antiperspirant in excessive axillary and inguinal perspiration: first randomized controlled trial.

Background: Topical aluminum salts are a commonly used remedy for excessive axillary perspiration. To the contrary, less is known about their anhidrotic potential in the groin. This study sought to compare the anhidrotic efficacy and tolerability of an aluminum chloride-based antiperspirant to an innovative aluminum lactate-based antiperspirant in healthy study participants presenting with excessive axillary and inguinal perspiration.

Disseminierte papulöse Variante des Morbus Dowling-Degos: Histopathologische Merkmale bei POGLUT1-Mutation.

Der Morbus Dowling-Degos ist eine seltene, benigne Genodermatose. Charakteristisch sind lentiginöse Hyperpigmentierungen sowie rotbraune Papeln und Plaques. Häufig sind die Beugeseiten und Intertrigines betroffen, das klinische Bild kann jedoch variieren.

Disseminated papular variant of Dowling-Degos disease: Histopathological features in POGLUT1 mutation.

Dowling-Degos disease is a rare benign genodermatosis. It is characterized by lentiginous hyperpigmentation and reddish-brown papules and plaques. The flexor sides and intertrigines are often affected, but the clinical appearance may vary.

Comparison of novel aluminium lactate versus aluminium chloride-based antiperspirant in excessive axillary perspiration: First prospective cohort study.

Aluminium chloride-based antiperspirants are an effective topical therapeutic option for mild to moderate states of excessive perspiration. Its use is primarily limited by the occurrence of skin irritation, especially in sensitive skin types. The objective of this study was to compare the antiperspirant efficacy and tolerability of a novel antiperspirant with 12.

Superiority of occipital donor sites for split-thickness skin grafting in dermatosurgery: Results of a prospective randomized controlled study.

Background: Split-thickness skin grafts are commonly used in dermatosurgery. For occipital donor sites, retrospective studies have shown good results with respect to graft take and healing rates. Nevertheless, the majority of grafts in dermatosurgery are harvested from the thigh.

Removal of Tattoos by Q-Switched Nanosecond Lasers.

Tattoo removal by Q-switched nanosecond laser devices is generally a safe and effective method, albeit a time-consuming one. Despite the newest developments in laser treatment, it is still not possible to remove every tattoo completely and without complications. Incomplete removal remains one of the most common challenges.

Triple swabbing allows sensitive MRSA detection in dermatologic patients of a university tertiary care hospital.

Background: To optimize preventive measures to control MRSA, we investigated retrospectively the suitability of a multiple site screening model and the optimal sampling technique to detect MRSA in a university-based phlebology and skin cancer center in Germany.

Patients And Methods: During 4.5 years samples of 3 712 inpatients in a dermatologic department were analyzed for MRSA by conventional microbiologic cultures and in parallel by PCR.

Treatment errors resulting from use of lasers and IPL by medical laypersons: results of a nationwide survey.

Background: The demand for hair and tattoo removal with laser and IPL technology (intense pulsed light technology) is continually increasing. Nowadays these treatments are often carried out by medical laypersons without medical supervision in franchise companies, wellness facilities, cosmetic institutes and hair or tattoo studios. This is the first survey is to document and discuss this issue and its effects on public health.

"Smoking guns": hazards generated by laser and electrocautery smoke.

The smoke generated by laser surgery and electrocautery may contain significant amounts of toxic, carcinogenic, and infectious gases and particles. Although there is little scientific data on the actual type and extent of the hazards related to exposure, considering the potential for irreversible health damage, safety measures should not be delayed. All potentially exposed persons (including patients, medical, and cleaning staff) should be acquainted with the possible health and occupational hazards related to smoke from electrocautery and laser surgery procedures.

Liposuction - a surgical procedure in dermatology.

Liposuction is an integral part of the wide range of surgical procedures in dermatology. Dermatologists established tumescent local anesthesia in combination with the use of micro-cannulas; especially dermatologists from Germany and Austria actively designed and developed these new techniques. In this position paper, we discuss the history, various interdisciplinary aspects, the significance, and the treatment indications for this procedure as well as its role within dermatologic training programs and research.

Treatment of xanthelasma palpebrarum using a pulsed dye laser: a prospective clinical trial in 38 cases.

Background: Several studies have reported positive results of nonablative laser treatment of xanthelasma palpebrarum, but the published evidence is weak and inconclusive.

Objective: To systematically evaluate the effect of pulsed dye laser (PDL) treatment of xanthelasmas.

Materials And Methods: Twenty female Caucasian patients with 38 lesions (< or =1 mm above skin level) were enrolled.

Comparison of clinical outcome parameters, the Patient Benefit Index (PBI-k) and patient satisfaction after ablative fractional laser treatment of peri-orbital rhytides.

Background: Laser treatment of facial rhytides has evolved as a major modality of aesthetic surgery. Published results, while generally encouraging, feature highly diverse evaluation methods, which makes an evidence-based assessment of treatment efficacy and safety all but impossible.

Objective: To compare the results of different instruments of measurement.
