Abstract
The relationship between telomeres, nevi and melanoma is complex. Shorter telomeres have been found to be associated with many cancers and with number of nevi, a known risk factor for melanoma. However, shorter telomeres have also been found to decrease melanoma risk. We performed a systematic analysis of telomere-related genes and tagSNPs within these genes, in relation to the risk of melanoma, dysplastic nevi, and nevus count combining data from four studies conducted in Italy. In addition, we examined whether telomere length measured in peripheral blood leukocytes is related to the risk of melanoma, dysplastic nevi, number of nevi, or telomere-related SNPs. A total of 796 cases and 770 controls were genotyped for 517 SNPs in 39 telomere-related genes genotyped with a custom-made array. Replication of the top SNPs was conducted in two American populations consisting of 488 subjects from 53 melanoma-prone families and 1,086 cases and 1,024 controls from a case-control study. We estimated odds ratios for associations with SNPs and combined SNP P-values to compute gene region-specific, functional group-specific, and overall P-value using an adaptive rank-truncated product algorithm. In the Mediterranean population, we found suggestive evidence that RECQL4, a gene involved in genome stability, RTEL1, a gene regulating telomere elongation, and TERF2, a gene implicated in the protection of telomeres, were associated with melanoma, the presence of dysplastic nevi and number of nevi, respectively. However, these associations were not found in the American samples, suggesting variable melanoma susceptibility for these genes across populations or chance findings in our discovery sample. Larger studies across different populations are necessary to clarify these associations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Meyerson phenomenon (MP) consists of an eczematous reaction occurring around a pre-existing dermatologic lesion that is usually melanocytic and generally benign, and which is known as a Meyerson naevus. We report a case of multiple Meyerson naevi revealing melanoma, which itself was surrounded by a halo of eczema. PATIENTS AND METHODS A 55-year-old man of phototype III with atopic eczema presented for pruritic eczema present for a fortnight, found solely on and around the naevi on his trunk and at roots of his limbs. One of the melanocytic lesions affected by these Meyerson phenomena was clinically atypical and had been active for several years. Excision confirmed the diagnosis of level II extensive superficial melanoma measuring 0.75 mm in thickness and associated with lesional and perilesional eczematous remodelling. After surgery involving a 1-cm excision margin and local corticosteroid therapy of the eczema, the Meyerson phenomenon subsided with complete remission of the melanoma at 1 year. DISCUSSION Meyerson phenomenon can affect one or more naevi at the same time; it is generally transient, may recur on occasion, and has a favourable outcome either spontaneously or with corticosteroid treatment. When not removed for histological verification, the melanocytic lesion regains its initial appearance following resolution of the phenomenon. MP differs from Sutton phenomenon (SP), which is a perinaevic vitiligo reaction leading to complete or partial regression of the melanocytic lesion, which may be either benign or malignant. CONCLUSION This case of Meyerson phenomenon revealing melanoma shows that the melanocytic lesions targeted by MP are not necessarily benign.

Abstract
Kabuki syndrome or Kabuki makeup syndrome was first described in 1981 in Japan by two different groups of authors. These investigators described a group of patients sharing typical facial features, skeletal anomalies, mental retardation, short stature, and dermatoglyphic anomalies. The term Kabuki makeup syndrome was coined because the peculiar facial features of the patients were reminiscent of the Japanese Kabuki theater masks. In 1988, Niikawa et al, after studying 62 patients, proposed five diagnostic criteria for this disease: peculiar facies (in 100% of all patients), skeletal anomalies (92%), dermatoglyphic anomalies (93%), medium to moderate mental retardation (92%), and short stature (83% of all cases). In addition to these findings, a variety of anomalies have been associated with this syndrome - the most serious being cardiac, renal, and urogenital abnormalities. We present a case of Kabuki syndrome in a 6-year-old boy who, in addition to the various features typical of the disease, also exhibited a Becker nevus - a condition not previously associated with this syndrome. The usefulness of dermoscopy in studying alterations in the dermatoglyphic patterns is also discussed.

Abstract
LEOPARD syndrome (LS) is a rare inherited autosomal dominant disease with high penetrance and markedly variable expression characterized by a spectrum of somatic abnormalities. In 1971, Gorlin proposed the well-known acronym LEOPARD (lentigines, electrocardiographic abnormalities, ocular hypertelorism, pulmonary stenosis, abnormalities of the genitalia, retardation of growth, deafness). The nature and clinical importance of cardiovascular phenotypes associated with LS remain uncertain, because few patients with the disease have undergone comprehensive cardiac evaluations. To date, 200 cases have been described and one review has been published. We emphasize that this case is exceptional insofar as life expectancy was longer than other LEOPARD syndrome cases described in previous reports; these have had an early mortality due to cardiopathies. The aim of our study is to report a rare case of a patient affected with LEOPARD syndrome, survived until 67 years with cutaneous associations never described in literature.

Abstract
Regional odontodysplasia is a rare developmental anomaly of the teeth that affects enamel and dentin. Its etiology is unknown, but the most accepted theory refers to circulatory disorders associated with vascular nevi. An uncommon case of regional odontodysplasia involving three quadrants of the jaws is reported. An 8-year-old boy was referred to the authors' institution with lack of teeth as a major symptom. There was no hereditary anomaly in the family. Extraoral examination revealed a brown discoloration on the skin on the right side of the face, neck, and chest. Detailed intraoral examination showed hypoplastic and carious teeth. Fistulae and gingival overgrowth were also observed. Radiographically, the affected teeth presented the pathognomonic image of "ghost teeth." Conservative treatment was instituted.

Abstract
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used to examine 33 patients (33 eyes) with choroidal melanoma and 39 patients (39 eyes) with choroidal nevus. The magnitude of changes in the retina and its pigment epithelium above the pigmented choroidal neoplasms was found to be largely in proportion to their sizes. When primarily detected, choroidal melanomas had larger sizes and were significantly more frequently attended by neuroepithelial detachment, retinal edema, and evident impairments in the normal architectonics of the retina and its pigment epithelium above the tumor, neuroepithelial detachment in the foveal area, and these tumors tended to show a higher rate of pigment epithelial detachments above the tumor and foveal edema. However, in the presence of small neoplasm sizes (from 1 mm, but less than 2 mm), the patients with choroidal melanomas were observed to have more frequently neuroepithelial detachment and to tend to have a higher rate of retinal edema above the tumor.

Abstract
Spontaneous spinal extradural hematoma is a rare clinical entity, commonly associated with coagulopathies, tumours or vascular malformations. They are often a neurosurgical emergency, therefore prompt diagnosis and early treatment are necessary. The Cobb syndrome is a neurocutaneous syndrome in which there are metameric vascular skin nevus and spinal arteriovenous malformation. The authors report the case of a 52-year-old woman with acute cervical myelopathy and a cervical cutaneous hemangioma on clinical examination. It is stressed the importance of clinical suspicion of cutaneo-meningospinal angiomatosis based on a spinal cord syndrome in the presence of a vascular skin nevus of the same metameric level.

Abstract
Pyogenic granuloma is a common benign vascular lesion of the skin and mucosa. There are a few reports on the rare association between it and port wine stain, but there is no clear description of an association with neurofibromatosis type 1 in the literature. This report presents a 29-year-old Saudi male with Von Recklinghausen's disease with recurrent pyogenic granuloma on the nevus flammeus over his neck. He was treated with shave excision and electrocautery with clearance and no recurrence of pyogenic granuloma for the last 5 years follow-up.

Abstract
Epidermal nevus syndromes are a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders characterized by the presence of an epidermal nevus with visceral involvement. Keratinocytic epidermal nevus syndromes are not a clear entity, but all the reported cases showed the presence of a keratinocytic epidermal nevus associated with different systemic lesions. In our report the keratinocytic epidermal nevus syndrome is defined by the presence of the nevus on the face, intraoral lesions and cleft palate in a 1-year-old girl.
