Pityriasis rubra pilaris and and retinol-binding protein.

Serum levels of retinol-binding protein (the specific carrier of vitamin A) were measured in eleven patients with pityriasis rubra pilaris and in some of their close relatives. The level of retinol-binding protein was markedly reduced in every patient, and in some of the relatives. It is postulated that defective synthesis of retinol-binding protein is a biochemical marker for pityriasis rubra pilaris, probably transmitted as a Mendelian dominant.

[Multiple cutaneous neoplasms following repeated fluoroscopic examinations. (A case of clear-cell malignant hidradenoma associated with intra-epidermal epitheliomas of the Bowen type)].

A case of some neoplastic lesions of the skin of the back, arisen on undamaged skin, in a patient who underwent therapeutic pneumothorax and was submitted to several fluoroscopic examinations for pulmonary tuberculosis many years ago, is reported and discussed. An attempt of evaluation of the exposure to the ionizing radiations received by the interscapular region of the patient is made. The malignant clear-cell hidradenoma is a very rarely observed carcinoma: nine cases have been so far described.
