Introduction Vitiligo is an acquired pigmentary disorder, which is usually progressive and irreversible if left untreated. Structured databases such as registries are required to continuously collect standard data about patients with the same disease. Objectives This study aimed to design and implement a vitiligo registry and evaluate its usability in Iran. Methodology This research was conducted in four stages: determining the minimum data set required for the registry, creating a conceptual model using unified modeling language diagrams and Sparx Enterprise Architect software, implementing the registry in the PhpStorm programming environment, and evaluating the software usability based on the responses of 17 end users to a questionnaire. Results The required data items, consisting of 127 items in eight categories, were approved by the experts and used to design the vitiligo registry. Then, the software was designed and implemented. In the assessment stage, the software received a 89.5% approval rate from its users. Conclusion Developing a vitiligo registry with high usability as well as making decisions based on the registry data can improve understanding of the disease and facilitate research in this field. As a result, high-quality services could be provided to patients nationwide.

ABSTRACT Cutaneous manifestations of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are commonly seen in clinical practice. Almost every person living with HIV (PLWH) will present with a dermatological complaint at some point during their care. Compared with people living without HIV, PLWHs have a greater likelihood of skin eruptions because of dysregulation of the skin immune system or drug reactions. This article reviews the most common dermatological conditions in PLWHs, as well as how they typically present in clinical practice, and discusses current evidence for treatment.

Sister Mary Joseph's nodules are commonly associated with internal malignancies. It usually manifests as a nodule with an irregular border around umbilicus, however, it may present as blue–black, friable, ulcerated lump with drainage as large as 10 cm. Sister Mary Joseph's nodules has a poor prognosis with average survival time of 11 months. We report an 85-year-old female presenting with painless, erythematous nodules on the umbilicus that developed over one month. Histopathology findings of skin biopsy was consistent with metastatic adenocarcinoma. Computerized tomography imaging of abdomen and pelvic showed a large pelvic mass obstructing the sigmoid colon. The patient was subsequently managed by a multidisciplinary surgical and medical oncology team.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a soft tissue tumor that arises from the dermis. This relatively rare, low-grade tumor has a high propensity for local recurrence unless it is completely excised. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans classically progresses slowly as a plaque on the trunk of young adults. It often resembles a scar that is slowly growing over months to years. Because of its rarity and subtle progression, this form of skin cancer will often go undiagnosed for years. Over time, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans can become invasive into the subcutaneous fat, muscle, fascia, and chest wall. Diagnosis of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is made by a core needle or incisional biopsy. Once diagnosed, cure rates approach 100%. The purpose of this article is to review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, differential diagnosis, diagnosis, staging, and treatment of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. Increasing healthcare providers' awareness about this rare form of skin cancer and its recognition may improve patient outcomes.
