Abstract
Basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS), also known as Gorlin syndrome, is characterized by an aberrant activation of the hedgehog (Hh) pathway, most cases being caused by PTCH1 mutations. However, certain features such as multiple hereditary infundibulocystic basal cell carcinomas (MHIBCC), sclerotic fibromas, childhood medulloblastoma or meningioma may be relatively specific to a SUFU mutation. We present two patients with MHIBCC, along with a more complex cutaneous and extracutaneous phenotype. MHIBCC syndrome and BCNS may share clinical features and, indeed, both syndromes probably represent different degrees of upregulation in the Hh pathway.

Abstract
Papular mycosis fungoides (MF) is an uncommon clinical variant of early MF without prognostic implications that follows an indolent course over years. It is characterized by the presence of multiple, small, pruritic, flat-topped, erythematous papules, often presenting as a nonspecific papular eruption which makes early diagnosis difficult. We describe two cases of elderly patients with papular MF, a probably underdiagnosed entity, which causes a significant deterioration in quality of life of patients who may benefit from specific treatments such as phototherapy.

Abstract
Lymphoblastic lymphomas (LBLs) are uncommon malignant neoplasms derived from immature T- or B-lymphoid progenitor cells. Although cutaneous involvement may reach 33% in B-LBL, only 12 cutaneous cases of T-LBL have been published. We report the case of a 49-year-old woman with 2-month history of erythematous-violaceous plaques in the sternal region and breasts. Histopathologic examination showed a dense monomorphus infiltrate in dermis and positive immunostainings for CD3, CD99 and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase, thus indicating T-LBL. Staging work-up only revealed a mediastinal mass at diagnosis. After a 51-month follow-up and different treatment regimens, the patient remains alive although she has presented four relapses, all of them extramedullary.

Abstract
Background: The management of HIV-positive patients with psoriasis is controversial and limited to individual cases or short series of patients. Objectives: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of conventional and biologic immunosuppressive drugs in the treatment of patients with psoriasis and concomitant HIV infection. Methods: A retrospective multicenter study was conducted. The study included data from 2008 to 2016. Inclusion criteria were: HIV adult patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis, HIV viral load determinations at baseline and at least after 6 months of treatment, and systemic immunosuppressive treatment for at least 6 months. A descriptive analysis was performed. Results: Twenty-three patients with plaque-type psoriasis and HIV infection (five with AIDS) were included. Median follow-up time was 3.2 years. The main drugs used were etanercept, methotrexate, and ustekinumab. In most cases, viral load and CD4 cell count not only remained stable but also improved throughout the follow-up. Six patients presented severe adverse events during the follow-up, four of them in the AIDS stage. At the end of the follow-up period, 76.5% of the patients had achieved a PASI 75. Conclusion: Biologic drugs, both anti-TNF alpha agents and ustekinumab, seem to have an acceptable safety profile and high effectiveness in HIV-positive patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Eccrine porocarcinoma (EPC) is an uncommon malignant neoplasm that originates in the intraepidermal portion of the eccrine sweat duct. Although porocarcinoma is a slow-growing tumor, up to 20% of cases can metastasize to regional lymph nodes, thus increasing mortality. METHODS We describe the clinical and histopathological features and clinical course of three cases of extensive metastatic EPC diagnosed in our department over the last 10 years. RESULTS All three patients were women aged 89-96 years. They had numerous skin tumors on the left leg that were histologically and immunohistochemically diagnosed as metastatic EPC. Only one patient had a history of primary porocarcinoma, which had been excised 6 years earlier. The remaining two patients had a previous lesion diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma. We treated the patients with palliative radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. Only one patient is currently alive. CONCLUSIONS The cases of cutaneous and regional metastatic EPC we present occurred in elderly women with major involvement of the left leg. The third case is noteworthy, as the patient presented a long latency period before metastases appeared. Difficulties in the clinical diagnosis--and occasionally histological diagnosis--of primary EPC could delay more aggressive treatment, although optimal treatment does not always guarantee a good prognosis.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin diseases that affect both children and adults with a prevalence of 30% and 10%, respectively. Even though most of patients respond satisfactory to topical anti-inflammatory drugs, about 10% require one or more systemic treatments to achieve good control of their illness. The progressive and increasingly detailed knowledge in the immunopathogenesis of AD has allowed research on new therapeutic targets with very promising results in the field of biological therapy. In this article, we will review the different biological treatments with a focus on novel drugs. Their mechanism of action, current status and results from clinical trials and observational studies will be specified.
