A Pearl for Pretibial and Forearm Repair Following Mohs Micrographic Surgery
Wound repair of the pretibial and forearm regions presents a challenge during dermatologic surgery as these areas are under significant tension and exhibit increased skin fragility. Various methodologies have been proposed for the closure and repair of such wounds, however, the use of the bilayered suture technique may be simpler and more effective than other techniques such as the pinch stitc …

INTRODUCTION
Periocular basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common eyelid malignancy concomitant with ocular morbidity and quality of life impact.1,2 Orbital invasion occurs in 2% of cases and poses challenges for management.1,3 JDD authors highlight a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of advanced periocular BCC.

Mastocytosis is a group of disorders characterized by the pathologic accumulation of mast cells in various tissues. One example of mastocytosis is urticaria pigmentosa, which presents with mastocytomas that can cause hives and, when irritated, pruritus. To the authors' knowledge, they are describing the first case of urticaria pigmentosa without pruritus. The patient had a positive Darier' … 
Alopecia areata (AA) is a common autoimmune disorder. Although its pathogenesis is not fully understood, AA involves CD8 T cell-mediated destruction of the hair follicle. Several treatment options exist; however, there is minimal evidence in the pediatric population. Currently, there are no curative treatments for AA. The literature suggests that Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors may be an effective t … 
ABSTRACT
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and extranodal involvement is seen in approximately 40% of cases. However, cases involving the skin and muscle are rare, and skin manifestations most commonly present as plaques, papules, small nodules, or ulcers. In this report, JDD authors Lauren E. Merz MD MSc, Christopher B. Hergott MD PhD, and Reb …
