Clinical Trial
Pilot study using topical imiquimod 5% cream in the treatment of nodular basal cell carcinoma after initial treatment with curettage.
Nodular basal cell carcinoma (nBCC) is the most common cutaneous malignancy and studies assessing the use of topical imiquimod 5% cream as a monotherapy in the treatment of nBCC have resulted in less than optimal clearance rates. ⋯ Imiquimod 5% cream appears to be an effective treatment method for nodular basal cell carcinoma if combined with curettage prior to application.

Case Reports
Case reports: red scrotal syndrome: a localized phenotypical expression of erythromelalgia.
We report a case of red scrotal syndrome responding to oral gabapentin, a neuropathic mediator that is commonly used in the treatment of primary erythromelalgia. The positive response to oral gabapentin and the resemblance of these 2 conditions supports that red scrotal syndrome is a phenotypical expression of localized primary erythromelalgia.
