Update of the S1‐guideline atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) and pleomorphic dermal sarcoma (PDS)

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.
Summary Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) and pleomorphic dermal sarcoma (PDS) are rare cutaneous neoplasms representing histomorphological, genetic as well as epigenetic variants of one disease spectrum. Both tumors manifest as nonspecific, often ulcerated nodules in chronically sun‐damaged skin. AFX is a well‐demarcated, often rapidly growing tumor.

Long‐Term Outcome of Electrochemotherapy in the Treatment of Advanced Stages (T3–T4) of Feline Nasal Planum Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Veterinary and Comparative Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Electrochemotherapy is increasingly used as a locoregional treatment for feline squamous cell carcinoma, but its role in advanced nasal planum disease remains poorly defined. This retrospective study evaluated the long‐term outcome of ECT as a sole treatment modality in 18 cats with T3–T4N0M0 nasal planum squamous cell carcinoma.
