Fibrofolliculomas, tricodiscomas and acrochordons (Birt-Hogg-Dubé) associated with intestinal polyposis.

We describe a patient with multiple fibrofolliculomas (FF), tricodiscomas (TD) and acrochordons (Birt-Hogg-Dubé) associated with intestinal polyps. One of the polyps presented histological features of marked dysplasia. This association may not be fortuitous and suggests that patients with multiple hamartomas of the perifollicular connective tissue should be examined periodically for intestinal polyps before malignancy develops.

Myasthenia gravis and lupus erythematosus.

Two patients are described in whom myasthenia gravis was associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. The review of the literature shows that such association is not frequent and that it affects mostly women (6 women:1 man), and that myasthenia gravis usually precedes lupus erythematosus. Thymectomy was a precipitating factor in 25% of the cases. Most of those patients present with general symptoms rather than with dermatologic signs.

What lichen planus patients die of. A retrospective study.

The causes of death of 50 patients who had had lichen planus have been investigated and compared with those of 50 patients with psoriasis and with those of the general population. Patients with lichen planus were as old as those with psoriasis and in the general population at the time of death, but the diseases causing death differed. Malignant tumors, particularly those of the gut and the bladder, and malignant hemopathies exceeded the expected prevalence. In addition, autoimmune diseases were more common than in patients with psoriasis and in the general population. Multiple sclerosis and primitive pulmonary fibrosis have never been described before in patients with lichen planus.

Skin necrosis due to intravenous heparin.

A patient on intravenous heparin is described who developed an acute hemorrhagic necrosis of her legs. Thrombi without vasculitis were seen in the dermal blood vessels. This appears to be the 4th reported case of skin necrosis after intravenous heparin at sites unrelated to injections. Skin necrosis after intravenous heparin should warn the dermatologist of a possible fatal outcome from myocardial or cerebral infarction.

Epidermal antigens in pemphigus vegetans. Report of a case.

A patient is described who had typical pemphigus vegetans, according to clinical, histopathological and immunofluorescence criteria. To determine the specific molecules bound by antibodies in the serum of this patient, an immunoprecipitation analysis was performed with extracts of [14C]-amino acid labelled cultured normal human keratinocytes. The patient's serum precipitated the 130 kd and 85 kd polypeptides of the pemphigus vulgaris antigen, but also precipitated other polypeptides, the significance of which is not clear.

Multiple familial seborrheic keratoses.

The early occurrence of seborrheic keratoses is described in 3 members of a family. The autosomal dominant transmission of seborrheic keratoses in this family provides further evidence for a genetic (polygenic) predisposition to seborrheic keratoses.
