A progression of histopathological features is suggested. The absence of histological GP should not exclude the clinical diagnosis of HFE when there is a high index of suspicion.</p>","PeriodicalId":8638,"journal":{"name":"Australasian Journal of Dermatology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141750974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A systematic search of the PubMed database was conducted for English articles from 1993 to 2023, identifying 31 papers suitable for inclusion.

Vismodegib achieved a complete response rate of 44%. Treatment interruption predominantly occurred due to side effects (69.1%) and secondary resistance (9.1%). The use of alternative regimens, although not compromising efficacy, may enhance treatment compliance.
