Porokeratotic eccrine ostial and dermal duct nevus.

We report 2 cases of congenital porokeratotic eccrine nevus in a 5-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy. The clinical manifestations were those of nevus comedonicus palmaris. The histologic picture consisted of comedo-like dilatations and cornoid lamellae involving the eccrine ostia and ducts. One of the cases showed anomalies in the dermal eccrine ducts. We believe that these lesions are eccrine hamartomas unrelated to porokeratosis. We review similar cases from the literature and discuss the differential diagnosis.

Biopsy↗

[Actinic reticuloid. Immunohistochemical study].

A patient that fulfilled the clinical and histological features of actinic reticuloid has been studied. He presented a positive patch test for fragance mix. Typical cutaneous lesions were reproduced with a solar simulator. The immunochemical studies of the inflammatory infiltrates of these induced lesions gave a higher percentage of T8 in relationship to T4 lymphocytes. Most of the cells were HLA-DR positive. No clonality of these lymphocytes was detected. In the peripheral blood lymphocytes, an increased percentage of T8 lymphocytes was also observed.

Familial leiomyomatosis cutis et uteri (Reed's syndrome).

We report a large family with leiomyomatosis cutis et uteri. Sixty-four percent of the females were involved; 18% had only uterine myomas, 10% had only cutaneous piloleiomyomas, and 36% had both. Five patients (45%) had to have an hysterectomy before age 35. Management of female patients having leiomyomatosis cutis should include a periodical gynecological examination in order to rule out the presence of uterine myomas.

[Ito's hypomelanosis].

Three additional cases of hypomelanosis of Ito (HI) are reported. HI is a syndrome manifested by irregular macular hypopigmented lesions, resembling the negative image of incontinentia pigmenti. Their cutaneous manifestations, associated abnormalities and the peculiar characteristics of the reported cases are discussed.

Localized intestinal perforation after intravenous indomethacin in a premature infant.

A female premature infant born after 27-week gestation developed a localized perforation of the terminal ileum six days after the administration of intravenous indomethacin for PDA closure. This complication has been reported after enteral and rectal administration of the drug. However, our clinical finding supports that these lesions in premature infants are not only related to the local effects of enteral indomethacin.

Occupational dermatoses from cutting oils.

230 patients with occupational dermatitis in the metallurgic industry were studied with standard patch test (GEIDC) and an oil series. An occupational and clinical questionnaire survey was carried out. Responses to paraphenylenediamine, chrome, cobalt in the standard series, and benzisothiazolone, triethanolamine, and Grotan BK were the main positive results.

Dermatitis, Contact↗

Turpentine: an attempt to explain sensitization to this allergen in Spain.

On turpentine being removed from the standard international series, and seeing that the % of positives in Spain were high, the Spanish group decided to study chromatographically the components of turpentine in order to know which of these components is present in the highest proportion. Various samples of turpentine are studied and the results are shown.
