Abstract
Mucormycosis is a frequently lethal fungal infection that most commonly affects patients with poorly controlled diabetes or other immunosuppressed states. We report the case of a suspected disseminated Rhizopus infection in a patient who was pursuing naturopathic treatment including mud baths for metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma. He was empirically treated with liposomal amphotericin B but opted to stop treatment following multiorgan failure. The patient passed away on the tenth day of his hospital admission.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mohs surgeons routinely encounter squamous cell carcinoma at surgical margins and often base the decision to take another layer on the severity of atypia observed. Currently, no criteria exists for distinguishing borderline histological patterns that could be interpreted differently as actinic keratosis (AK), squamous cell carcinoma in situ (SCCIS), or AK with focal SCCIS. OBJECTIVE To assess interrater concordance amongst Mohs surgeons in distinguishing AK from SCCIS when evaluating Mohs frozen sections. METHODS Seventeen slides were selected and converted into digitally formatted cases. They were compiled into an electronic survey and distributed to the American College of Mohs Surgery. RESULTS Overall κ was 0.26 corresponding to weak agreement between raters compared to the standard, with κ of 0.34 for AK and 0.37 for SCCIS. CONCLUSION There exists notable variability among Mohs surgeons who interpret the spectrum of in situ carcinoma differently. Ongoing learning and consensus building among Mohs surgeons and trainees can aid in quality patient care, even if there may not be agreement on every case.

Abstract
Although acanthosis nigricans of the posterior neck and intertriginous areas is common, acanthosis nigricans of the supra-alar creases is rare. We present the case of an obese 16-year-old African American boy with hyperpigmented plaques along the supra-alar creases of his nose. Clinicians should be aware of this rare manifestation, because newly diagnosed acanthosis nigricans should prompt examination for insulin resistance.

Abstract
Currently no broadly accepted and standardized objective ranking system for dermatology residency programs exist. A new ranking system was recently developed in an attempt to address this issue. However, it remains unclear if the algorithm employed is based on factors that have a tangible impact on the quality of training provided by dermatology residency programs [1]. Our authors surveyed all current dermatology residents in order to investigate the factors that they feel are most important in determining the strength of training provided by a residency program.
