Perifollicular Langerhans cell histiocytosis
A 25-year-old man presented with a 13-year history of an erythematous, papular eruption of his face and trunk, which was treated in the past as acne and psoriasis with isotretinoin and methotrexate, respectively. Histopathologic examination demonstrated an infiltrate of Langerhans cells, which was consistent with Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

Alongside high rates of favorable prognosis after surgical excision exist similarly high rates of recurrence.

Ethical considerations of genetic and genomic testing in pediatric oncology: A narrative review
Abstract Genomics—and genomic testing in particular—has transformed oncology, facilitating both targeted therapies and personalized care. In pediatric oncology, unique clinical and ethical considerations arise. Compared with adults, children and adolescents are affected by more limited evidence regarding test performance, variant interpretation, and ...
