Barriers to Genetic Testing in Vascular Malformations

Alexandra J. Borst et al.

Summary: Vascular malformations (VMs) are rare disorders that have a significant impact on patients' quality of life. Understanding the genetic basis of VM is crucial for treatment, but obtaining genetic testing can be challenging. This study examined the institutional mechanisms and obstacles to genetic testing for VM.

Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans in Children

Aseel Sleiwah et al.

Summary: Paediatric dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare soft tissue malignant tumour with delayed diagnosis and indolent course. Early suspicion and referral to a specialist unit are necessary. Treatment options should be considered based on local outcomes, available expertise, and cost. Soft tissue reconstruction should be performed after oncologic clearance, while adjuvant radiotherapy should be avoided in children.

Malignant Superficial Mesenchymal Tumors in Children

Philippe Drabent et al.

Summary: Malignant tumors of the skin and subcutaneous tissue are rare in children. Most are mesenchymal tumors with intermediate malignant potential. Age at presentation is an important factor for differential diagnosis. Advances in molecular biology have improved diagnosis, but new entities are still being discovered.

Pearls and updates: cutaneous signs of systemic malignancy

Gabriella M. Paquette et al.

Summary: This review provides an update on cutaneous signs of pediatric systemic malignancies, including leukemia cutis, lymphoma cutis, neuroblastoma, sarcomas, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, and paraneoplastic syndromes. The authors highlight the heterogeneous features of these manifestations and emphasize the importance of skin biopsy for definitive diagnosis. Dermoscopy is also described as a useful tool in clinical evaluation. Genetic mutations and advances in medical treatment are further discussed, indicating improved prognosis for many systemic malignancies. Comprehensive cutaneous evaluation alongside thorough clinical history and review of systems remains important in diagnosing and managing these dermatological manifestations.
