Hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola: report of 3 cases.

BACKGROUND: To date, approximately 43 cases of hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola have been reported, most of which have been sporadic. OBSERVATION: We describe 3 patients with this dermatosis who were encountered in the outpatient clinic of the Department of Dermatology at the American University of Beirut Medical Center, Beirut, Lebanon, within a 1-year period. CONCLUSION: Hyperkeratosis of the nipple and/or areola may be more common than what has been reported in the literature. We propose a revised classification for the condition.

Pseudoxanthoma elasticum-like papillary dermal elastolysis: a report of two cases.

We report 2 women, aged 83 and 63 years, who presented with multiple asymptomatic, slowly progressive, coalescing, skin-colored papules affecting the sides of the neck and lower abdomen. Incisional biopsies obtained from both patients revealed elastolysis in the papillary dermis. These 2 cases represent pseudoxanthoma elasticum-like papillary dermal elastolysis, a recently described entity, the etiology of which remains unclear.

Posttransfusion graft-versus-host disease in two immunocompetent patients.

Graft-versus-host disease may occur in certain immunocompromised patients after a blood transfusion. The disease is characterized by fever, a skin eruption, gastrointestinal disturbances, liver dysfunction, and bone marrow aplasia. Two cases of fatal graft-versus-host disease are reported. Both patients were immunocompetent and had received transfusions of nonirradiated blood from their children during surgery. The importance of preventing this complication by irradiating blood products given to patients by their first-degree relatives is underscored.
