Conclusions Overall frequency of incomplete excision is low and similar to that in other reports. However, high frequency in high-risk sites, low rates of previous biopsy, and substantial variation in performance between physicians and clinics suggests there is significant opportunity to further improve health outcomes.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions The burden of disease at sites other than the head and neck appears to be underreported in the literature and greatly affects quality of life. Differentiation between the clinical diagnoses has little prognostic or clinical utility in genetic counseling, even within individuals from the same family. Thus, we suggest an encompassing diagnosis of "CYLD cutaneous syndrome." Finally, the clinical distribution of tumors suggests that hormonal factors may play an important role in tumor induction in these patients.

Conclusions There are few publications that document PXE-like changes in association with various inflammatory skin conditions. Thus, the clinical significance of this finding remains uncertain. This case and previous reports are discussed in the context of current molecular and genetic knowledge. It is hoped that greater awareness of this phenomenon will promote further investigation and elucidation of the clinical and biologic significance of PXE-like changes observed in biopsies of inflammatory skin disorders.

Dupuytren's contracture (Dupuytren contracture) is a condition that affects the hands and fingers. It is an uncommon hand deformity in which the connective tissue under the skin of the palm contract and toughen over time. It causes one or more of the fingers on one or both hands to bend into the palm of the hand. Dupuytren's contracture is named after the French surgeon, Baron Guillaume Dupuytren, who first described and researched the condition in 1834.

BRAF V600E mutation and the tumour suppressor IGFBP7 in atypical genital naeviEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions The prevalence of BRAF V600E in AGN suggests that ultraviolet exposure is not essential for generating the mutation. The BRAF V600E mutational status appears to be of limited diagnostic utility in distinguishing genital naevi that exhibit atypia from those that do not. Similar to oncogenic BRAF-positive common naevi without atypia, enhanced expression of the tumour suppressor IGFBP7 in oncogenic BRAF-positive AGN supports that they are biologically inert.

The authors of this article discuss the uncertainties surrounding the use of bath emollients as part of the treatment of atopic eczema, which the NHS in England spent around £15.5m on in 2008.
They were unable to identify any published RCTs assessing the clinical efficacy of bath emollients in atopic eczema from a search of the literature. In addition they state that they are not aware of any longstanding clinical experience of benefit from bath emollients to match that for directly applied emollients, and that the quantities of emollient deposited on the skin during bathing ...
