New Entities in Dermatology

Dermatology is a rapidly developing medical field, in which too many new advances in terms of diagnosis and therapy have occurred within the last several years. Technological progression of chemical science and imaging methods as well as new tools have made it possible to expose the mysterious aspects of diseases. Therefore, novel dermatologic entities have been described day by day. In this article we decided to search new entities reported electronically in Pubmed and EBSCO indexes in the last decade after year 2002. Twenty-six new entities were found out after our investigation. In this review, the reported entities have been classified according to the sections of dermatologic disorders. We think that this article would help to update the knowledge of dermatologists about new concepts.
