Hidradenitis suppurativa: A comprehensive review

TL;DR: Hidradenitis suppurativa, also known as acne inversa, is a chronic, often debilitating disease primarily affecting the axillae, perineum, and inframammary regions and is considered a disease of follicular occlusion rather than an inflammatory or infectious process of the apocrine glands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comorbidities of hidradenitis suppurativa (acne inversa)

TL;DR: A first classification of these major comorbidities and their possible genetic background reveals a list of chromosome loci and genes, which could be hidradenitis suppurativa candidates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic bacterial and parasitic infections and cancer: a review

TL;DR: A considerable number of bacterial infections and parasitic infections are associated with the development of cancer, albeit probably not etiopathogenetically.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinicopathological study of 13 cases of squamous cell carcinoma complicating hidradenitis suppurativa.

TL;DR: In a series of 13 new cases of squamous cell carcinoma complicating hidradenitis suppurativa, the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in tumor samples is investigated and the implication of HPV in the malignant transformation of HS is sustained.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surgical Management of Hidradenitis Suppurativa

TL;DR: Conservative treatment methods have little or no effects on gluteal, perineal/perianal, axillary hidradenitis suppurativa, and the only successful treatment is wide surgical excision.

Paraneoplastic Syndromes Involving the Nervous System

TL;DR: Paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes are incited by a tumor outside the nervous system that produces a characteristic antigen of the nervous System that damages nerve tissue and inhibits growth of the tumor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Herpes zoster of the head and limbs: Electroneuromyographic and clinical findings in 158 consecutive cases

TL;DR: Sensory axonal neuropathy, often associated with similar motor involvement, can be shown by classical electrophysiologic methods in herpes zoster.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypercalcemia in association with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Occurrence as a late complication of hidradenitis suppurativa

TL;DR: Chemotherapy with bleomycin sulfate, methotrexate sodium, and cisplatin led to tumor regression and control of the hypercalcemia in a case of hidradenitis-associated squamous cel carcinoma with metastases to the inguinal lymph nodes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paraneoplastic ophthalmoplegia and subacute motor axonal neuropathy associated with anti-GQ1b antibodies in a patient with malignant melanoma.

TL;DR: A 68 year old woman developed oculomotor paresis shortly after metastatic progression of her melanoma was discovered and was immunised with the tumour antigen MAGE-3 in combination with an immunological adjuvant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acrokeratosis paraneoplastica (Bazex syndrome) associated with primary cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the lower leg, vitiligo and alopecia areata

TL;DR: It is suggested that an immune‐mediated mechanism underlies the development of AP in this patient, and that the severity of the clinical manifestations of AP paralleled the serum concentrations of SCC‐Ag.
