RESUMO

Background: Sebaceous carcinoma is a rare cancer, and little is known about its current epidemiology and treatment. This is particularly true for sebaceous carcinomas of the trunk and extremities. Objective: We present a database analysis of sebaceous carcinoma cases to further delineate demographics, location, tumor characteristics, and treatment modalities among patients diagnosed with these tumors. Methods: The National Cancer Database was queried for cases of sebaceous carcinoma between 2004 and 2016. 3211 cases were analyzed for descriptive and comparative statistics. Results: Twenty-six percent of sebaceous carcinomas were found on the trunk and extremities. Tumors on the trunk and extremities were more likely to be larger than tumors on the head and neck, with 8% being greater than 50 mm (P < .001). Tumors on the trunk and extremities were more likely to be well differentiated (P < .001) and have fewer lymph node metastases (P < .001). Surgery was the primary treatment modality for tumors, followed by radiotherapy and rarely chemotherapy. Conclusions: Sebaceous cancer is a poorly understood entity. We demonstrated that trunk and extremity tumors tend to be larger and more differentiated than those of the head and neck. Treatment practices are varied at this time, but surgery is the primary modality.

RESUMO

The diagnosis and management of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) varies greatly between providers, often resulting in gaps in care including diagnostic delays and poor outcomes. As dermatologists strive to improve HS management, understanding patient perspectives is key. This study aims to characterize existing gaps in HS care as understood through patients' experiences. This study recruited adult patients with a diagnosis of HS seen at dermatology practices affiliated with Northwestern University. Data were collected through participant surveys and three semi-structured focus groups. Focus group meetings were transcribed verbatim and data were abstracted into themes using conventional content analysis. Six final themes were abstracted after review of 20 pages of transcribed conversation. Four themes centered on improved medical management of HS (access to care, disease-modifying therapies, symptom treatment, prevention of treatment-related adverse events). Two themes centered on supportive care (mental health support, specialized daily wear products). Limitations of this study include single-center recruitment and recall bias introduced by the focus group format. This study identifies six unmet needs for patients with HS and highlights the efficacy of a virtual format for research, conversation, and possibly clinical engagement. Moreover, multiple themes underscore the need for further collaboration across specialties in managing HS.

RESUMO

Viral infections, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 infection, have been implicated in the development of pustular dermatoses, including generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP). We performed a literature review of existing cases of GPP and AGEP associated with COVID-19 infection and/or treatment reported over a period of 12 months. We summarize the clinical characteristics of these cases and report an additional six new cases of GPP and AGEP. Seven patients with COVID-19 infection were diagnosed with new-onset or exacerbated GPP, and 33 patients were diagnosed with AGEP. In 55% of the cases, no concomitant potential culprit drug trigger was identified. We present this review of cases of COVID-associated acute pustular dermatoses to further contribute to the spectrum of cutaneous eruption associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection.
