Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Dermatopathology is a specialized skin pathology representing a combination of both dermatology and pathology. The dermatopathology theme is diverse. It includes studying the gross, microscopic, immunohistologic, structural, experimental, and molecular features of the neoplastic and non-neoplastic disorders of the skin, hair, and nails. Understanding these features will provide insights that support the management of these disorders by dermatologists, plastic surgeons, surgical pathologists, general practitioners, and many other physicians.

This Special Issue is dedicated to publishing editorials, original research articles, reviews, and minireviews. It will also include commentaries, viewpoints, and case reports in the area of expertise, including basic and clinical research in all aspects of the dermatopathology of skin, hair, and nail disorders. The editors aim to provide state-of-the-art articles that guide physicians' daily practice, particularly dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and general pathologists.

Acute skin failure is rarely the primary diagnosis that necessitates admission to an intensive care unit. Dermatological manifestations in critically ill patients, on the other hand, are relatively common and can be used to make a key diagnosis of an adverse drug reaction or an underlying systemic illness, or they may be caused by factors related to a prolonged stay or invasive procedures. In intensive care units, their classification is based on the aetiopathogenesis of the cutaneous lesion and, in the meantime, distinguishes critical patients. When evaluating dermatological manifestations, several factors must be considered: onset, morphology, distribution, and associated symptoms and signs. This review depicts dermatological signs in critical patients in order to lay out better recognition. Full article

Palmoplantar psoriasis (PP) is a relatively uncommon variant of psoriasis that affects palms and soles, and that frequently shares both clinical and histologic features with chronic eczema, hyperkeratotic hand dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis. The present study aims to characterize the histologic features of PP on a series of 21 cases. The following morphological features and their distribution were included: parakeratosis, dilated vessels in papillary dermis, psoriasiform acanthosis with elongation of rete ridges, perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate, decrease/loss of granular layer, Munro’s microabscesses, spongiform pustules of Kogoj, spongiosis and lymphocytic exocytosis. The main diagnostic clues and histologic differential diagnoses are also discussed. Full article
