Cutaneous Pigmentary Changes During Setmelanotide Therapy: Dermoscopic and Confocal Findings in Two Patients

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Setmelanotide is a melanocortin‐4 receptor agonist approved for the treatment of rare forms of genetic obesity. Through off‐target activation of the melanocortin‐1 receptor, it may induce cutaneous pigmentation changes; however, data regarding its effects on melanocytic nevi remain limited.

Pigmented Fibroepithelioma of Pinkus in Pregnancy: Strengths and Limitations of Reflectance Confocal Microscopy, Line‐Field Optical Coherence Tomography and Line‐Field Optical Coherence Tomography Artificial Intelligence Tool

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pigmented fibroepithelioma of Pinkus (FeP), a rare fibroepithelial variant of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), is clinically and dermoscopically challenging to diagnose and may mimic melanoma as well as benign lesions, such as sebhorreic keratosis.

Vitiligo and Skin Cancer Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis With Subtype and Phototherapy Stratification

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Vitiligo was associated with directionally lower odds of melanoma and non‐melanoma skin cancer in this systematic review and meta‐analysis of 14 studies. A statistically significant inverse association was observed for squamous cell carcinoma. Phototherapy exposure showed higher, but non‐significant, point estimates for melanoma and non‐melanoma skin ...
