This is a case of primary cutaneous T-follicular helper cell lymphoma, follicular-type. A 99-year-old woman was detected with cutaneous mass located in left greater trochanter area and buttock, which was suspected to be malignant lymphoma. Computed tomography revealed few regional lymph node enlargement. Skin biopsy was performed for diagnosis. Pathologically, diffuse and dense proliferation of medium-sized atypical lymphocytes was observed proliferating with a vague nodular pattern. The immunohistochemical analysis presented that atypical lymphocytes composing vague nodular lesion were positive for CD3, CD4, PD-1, ICOS, BCL6, and CXCL13. Additionally, diffuse medium-sized B-cell proliferation was also observed. The monoclonality of T-cell receptor-gamma and IgVH was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction. Here we described a primary cutaneous case of FTCL. In the 5th edition of the WHO classification, TFH lymphoma is limited to lymph node and there is no consensus regarding the management of extranodal TFH lymphoma. Further accumulation of extranodal counterpart of the cases and clinicopathological examination of extranodal and nodal lesions is desired.

Background: Allopurinol, the most prescribed urate-lowering drug, is a known cause of severe cutaneous adverse reactions. We aimed to develop and validate a model to assess the risk of allopurinol-induced severe cutaneous adverse reactions in adults newly prescribed allopurinol.
Methods: In this retrospective new-user cohort study, we developed and validated a prognostic model using primary care, hospitalisation, and mortality data extracted from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) primary care database, for the period Jan 1, 2001, to March 29, 2021.

Lithobates palmipes is a frog species whose skin secretions contain peptides belonging to the ranatuerin, brevinin, and temporin families. In this study, the peptide ranatuerin-2PMe was isolated and evaluated for its antimicrobial, hemolytic, antiproliferative, and chemotactic activities. Ranatuerin-2PMe (2933.

In a subset of patients with systemic mastocytosis (SM), an associated hematologic neoplasm (AHN) is identified. Most AHN are myeloid neoplasms, whereas lymphoid neoplasms are uncommon. We report on a 70-year-old female patient with bone marrow mastocytosis (BMM) associated with primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (PCFCL).

Background: COVID-19 pandemic had a variable impact on the severity of melanomas.
Objective: To assess the role of the COVID-19 pandemic in France on the severity of melanomas at initial diagnosis.
Methods: New melanoma cases recorded in the French RIC-Mel database were included in a retrospective study spanning three timeframes: pre-COVID (01/01/2018 to 03/16/2020), lockdown (03/17/2020 to 10/05/2020), and the COVID pandemic period (hereafter referred to as "COVID") (11/05/2020 to 30/09/2022).

Background: Up to 90% of skin aging is caused by ultraviolet radiation, resulting in significant photodamage and clinical burden. Klotho Skin Serum, formulated with the Klotho protein for anti-aging, shows promise based on preclinical studies exploring its physiological functions and therapeutic applications.
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of Klotho Skin Serum in improving visible signs of photoaging.
