[Melanoma and dysplastic nevus after 8 years of topical Caryolysine].

A 48-year-old woman with poikiloderma atrophicans vasculare was treated with topical mechlorethamine, applied three times weekly, for eight years. After five years treatment she developed nine melanocytic naevi on covered skin. The naevi spread for the next three years and a surgical excision was performed. Pathological examination revealed one level II SSM, one level I SSM and seven junctional naevi with focal dysplasia or melanocytic hyperplasia. The development of melanoma and dysplastic naevi after topical mechlorethamine has not been previously reported. However it seems likely that mechlorethamine was the causative agent. As for the mechlorethamine's imputability in this case, we have used a method combining intrinsic identification of adverse drug responsibility's score, based on the clinical case and on extrinsic identification based on literature evaluation. We suggest that mechlorethamine could act as UV light.

[Zollinger-Ellison syndrome with high blood calcium levels resembling the neoplastic type (author's transl)].

A patient with the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome was found to have increased blood gastrin levels associated with the secretion of a compound which produced high blood calcium levels. This compound differed from immunoreactive parathormone, and caused the clinical picture of primary neoplastic hyperparathyroidism. This case is compared with other cases of multiple-secreting Zollinger-Ellison syndrome reported in the published literature, within the framework of the "A.P.U.D." system.

[Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (Ofuji) (author's transl)].

A case, the first French observation of eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (Ofuji) is reported. The long lasting condition of unknown etiology is characterized by slightly indurated erythematous plaques and formation of follicular small papules and pustules. The lesions have a tendency to central healing and peripheral extension and proceed with remissions and exacerbations. Histological features are pustular folliculitis composed chiefly of eosinophiles. Blood eosinophila is often founded. Local corticotherapy and dapsone are sometimes a effective treatment.
