Background: Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by erythema, papules, ocular symptoms, and heightened sensitivity. Patients with neurogenic symptoms such as burning or stinging remain particularly difficult to manage. Current guidelines often underrepresent energy-based devices (EBDs), pigmentary sequelae, psychosocial burden, and ocular comorbidities. Objective: To examine Korean dermatologists’ expert perspectives on rosacea management, focusing on skin sensitivity, neurogenic symptoms, pigmentary changes, psychosocial impact, ocular involvement, and EBD use. Methods: A web-based, 29-item survey was administered to 25 board-certified Korean dermatologists (May–June 2025). Quantitative and qualitative responses were analyzed. Results: Erythematotelangiectatic and papulopustular phenotypes with sensitivity skin predominated. EBDs (pulsed dye laser, intense pulsed light) were frequently used but limited by cost and sensitivity issues. Neurogenic symptoms were recognized but rarely treated with neuromodulators. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation was infrequent, yet monitoring was inconsistent.Psychosocial and ocular aspects were acknowledged but seldomly systematically addressed.Respondents expressed interest in emerging adjunctive treatments such as cold plasma, skin boosters, and holistic care approaches. Conclusion Korean dermatologists adopt individualized strategies for rosacea, yet practice gaps remain regarding neurogenic symptoms, pigmentary complications, and psychosocial and ocular comorbidities. Findings support the need for updated multidisciplinary, phenotype-driven guidelines aligned with real-world practice.

Background/Aims: We investigated the clinical practice patterns of Korean endoscopists for the endoscopic resection of colorectal polyps. Methods: From September to November 2021, an online survey was conducted regarding the preferred resection methods for colorectal polyps, and responses were compared with the international guidelines. Results: Among 246 respondents, those with <4 years, 4–9 years, and ≥10 years of experiencein colonoscopy practices accounted for 25.6%, 34.1%, and 40.2% of endoscopists, respectively. The most preferred resection methods for non-pedunculated lesions were cold forceps polypectomy for ≤3 mm lesions (81.7%), cold snare polypectomy for 4–5 mm (61.0%) and 6–9 mm (43.5%) lesions, hot endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for 10–19 mm lesions (72.0%), precut EMR for 20–25 mm lesions (22.0%), and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for ≥26 mm lesions (29.3%). Hot EMR was favored for pedunculated lesions with a head size <20 mm and stalk size <10 mm (75.6%) and for those with a head size ≥20 mm or stalk size ≥10 mm (58.5%). For suspected superficial and deep submucosal lesions measuring 10–19 mm and ≥20 mm, ESD (26.0% and 38.6%) and surgery (36.6% and 46.3%) were preferred, respectively. The adherence rate to the guidelines ranged from 11.2% to 96.9%, depending on the size, shape, and histology of the lesions. Conclusions Adherence to the guidelines for endoscopic resection techniques varied depend-ing on the characteristics of colorectal polyps. Thus, an individualized approach is required to increase adherence to the guidelines.

This review summarized the results of clinical trials in 2024 that were believed to have a significant impact on clinical practice in the field of gynecologic oncology. The SHAPE trial, INTERLACE and KEYNOTE-A18 trials, and BEATcc and COMPASSION-16 trials were included in early-stage, locally advanced, and recurrent/metastatic cervical cancer, respectively. For uterine corpus cancer, updated survival data of the four trials (NRG-GY018, RUBY, AtTEnd, DUO-E) for endometrial cancer and the first survival data of LMS-04 trial for leiomyosarcoma were described. For ovarian cancer, the final overall survival results of PRIMA study were followed by DUO-O, ATHENA-combo, and FIRST-ENGOT-OV44 trial in different disease conditions. Finally, the results of DESTINY-PanTumor02, a basket trial of trastuzumab deruxtecan, were briefly addressed.

Purpose: We present a case of anterior displacement of the lens-iris diaphragm associated with Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada (VKH) disease.Case summary: A 35-year-old woman presented with decreased vision in her right eye. Examination revealed corrected visual acuity of 0.6 in the right eye and 1.0 in the left eye. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was 14 and 16 mmHg in the right and left eye, respectively. Spherical equivalent (SE) was -17.25 D in the right eye and -9.75 D in the left eye. Slit lamp examination and three-dimensional anterior segment photography revealed anterior displacement of the lens-iris diaphragm in both eyes. Two days later, the left eye developed similar symptoms with an SE of -15.5 D. Fundus examination revealed serous retinal detachment and fluorescein fundus photography demonstrated focal leakage leading to the diagnosis of atypical VKH disease. The patient was treated with oral corticosteroids and her symptoms resolved after 3 weeks. The Final SE was -10.25 D in the right eye and -9.75 D in the left eye. Conclusions We suggest there is an association between atypical VKH and anterior lens-iris diaphragm displacement in the absence of elevated IOP; early myopic shift may be associated with this presentation. Therefore, patients with isolated lens-iris diaphragm displacement, particularly those without a history of medications should be monitored for the possibility of developing VKH disease.
