    Abstract Abstract: Cutaneous sarcoidosis occurs in about one-quarter of patients with systemic disease and presents with either specific or nonspecific signs. Psoriasiform sarcoidosis is an uncommon presentation. Herein, study authors report a rare case of systemic sarcoidosis that presented with psoriasiform plaques and patchy alopecia. The main patient complaint was disfigurement from skin lesions over different areas of his body, followed by scalp alopecia and uveitis. These lesions were well-defined plaques, some oozing and others scaly. Dermoscopic examination revealed yellow-orange globular structure. A biopsy was taken; the eventual diagnosis was sarcoidosis, for which the patient received treatment with systemic steroids, resulting in improvement of all of his lesions. Physicians should suspect sarcoidosis in any patient presenting with psoriasiform skin lesions not responding to traditional psoriasis treatment.

    Abstract Background: Alopecia areata (AA) is a common cause of hair loss. It is mediated by T lymphocytes. Scalp biopsy findings in AA differ according to the disease phase and activity.
    Objectives: To study the cellular infiltrate in the transverse section of scalp biopsy of AA at different disease stages and in relation to disease activity.
    Methods: The study was performed on 40 subjects with AA. A 4-mm punch biopsy was obtained from an AA scalp lesion. Biopsies were sectioned horizontally; 2 anatomical levels were studied (mid dermal and deep dermal levels).
    Results: Ninety-five percent of AA showed noncicatrical alopecia. A significant relation was found between the course of AA and the terminal:vellus ratio. Peribulbar lymphocytic infiltration was seen in 70% of cases. Mast cells were observed in 87.5% of cases, including fibrous tract and around the arrector pili muscles. Eosinophils were detected in the scalp biopsy of 22.5% of cases. Course and activity of AA were significantly related to the peribulbar lymphocytic cell infiltration but not to mast cells and eosinophils.
    Conclusion: Although a peribulbar lymphocytic infiltrate is the classical finding of AA, it is absent in the chronic phase. Mast cells are commonly found in the scalp biopsy of AA and could explain the potential therapeutic effect of antihistamines.

    Abstract Purpose: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most diagnosed type of cancer accounting for 80% of all keratinocyte malignancies. However, the exact demographic properties and clinicopathological criteria for BCC in Egyptians are not clearly reported. Our aim is to report and analyze the epidemiological and clinicopathological features of BCC in Egyptians.
    Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records for patients diagnosed pathologically with BCC during the period from January 2017 to December 2021. Data were recruited from four dermatology centers with different geographical distributions.
    Results: We registered 544 patients. Their age ranged between 22-91 years with a mean of 61.6 ± 13.2 years. Females showed younger age of onset. The mean duration of the tumor was 3.9 ± 3.8 years. The most common involved region was the head (79.4%), and about one third of patients (32.2%) had a giant lesion (> 5 cm). The most common clinical presentation was ulcerative lesions (44.9%). Pathologically, the nodular type represented the most common variant (50.4%).
    Conclusion: Our results proposed that the annual incidence of BCC is increasing among Egyptians. Ultraviolet radiation is considered a high-risk factor of BCC leading to a higher affection of the head region and more prevalence in men. This study also highlights some criteria of BCC in Egyptians such as the long duration of the tumor, the early onset in females, the higher percentage of giant types, and the predominance of nodular type. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing the characteristic features of BCC among Egyptians.

    Abstract Background: NB-UVB has long been the vitiligo management pillar with capability of achieving the main treatment outcomes; repigmentation and stabilization. Its stabilizing effect in dark skin has been debatable. However, randomized controlled trials regarding NB-UVB ability to control disease activity are lacking.
    Purpose: To assess stabilizing effect of NB-UVB in comparison to systemic corticosteroids, the mainstay in vitiligo stabilization, in skin photo-types (III-V).
    Methods: This is a multicenter, placebo-controlled, randomized, prospective study. Eighty patients with active nonsegmental vitiligo (NSV) (Vitiligo disease activity (VIDA) ≥2) were randomized to either NB-UVB and placebo (NB-placebo) or NB-UVB and dexamethasone oral mini-pulse (OMP) therapy (NB-OMP) for 6 months. Sixty four patients completed the study, 34 in the NB-OMP group and 30 in the NB-placebo group. Patients were evaluated fortnightly according to presence or absence of symptoms/signs of activity.
    Results: In spite of earlier control of disease activity observed in the NB-OMP group, it was comparable in both groups by the end of the study period. Disease activity prior to therapy, but not extent, was found to influence control of activity in both groups. Thus, NB-UVB is a safe sole therapeutic tool in vitiligo management. Not only does it efficiently achieve repigmentation, but also it is a comparable stabilizing tool for systemic corticosteroids in spite of slightly delayed control.
    Conclusion: NB-UVB is the only well-established vitiligo therapy that can be used solely whenever corticosteroids are contraindicated or immune-suppression is unjustified. Nonetheless, its combination with corticosteroids expedites response and improves compliance.
