Immunotactoid glomerulopathy associated with mycosis fungoides.

A patient with mycosis fungoides developed a nephrotic syndrome. Renal biopsy revealed deposits of a highly organized fibrillar material which did not stain with the typical amyloid stains; this picture was consistent with the diagnosis of non-amyloidotic fibrillary glomerulopathy or immunotactoid glomerulopathy. We believe this is the first case reported of immunotactoid glomerulopathy associated with mycosis fungoides. Possible pathogenetic implications are discussed with reference to previous publications.

[Dyshidrosiform pemphigoid].

We report herein a new case of dyshidrosiform pemphigoid. Although vesiculo-bullae on palms or soles are frequent components of bullous pemphigoid, they are rare as a presenting phenomenon. In our opinion, dyshidrosiform pemphigoid should not be regarded as a distinctive form of localized pemphigoid.

[Solitary giant cell collagenoma].

Collagenoma or collagen nevus of the connective tissue is a hamartomatous malformation of the dermis, characterized by a proliferation of normal collagen tissue. This may be congenital or acquired, solitary or multiple, hereditary or sporadic. The solitary type are sporadic, not associated with any disease, and may appear on any part of the body. Histology studies show an increase of collagen fibers in the dermis and a variable decrease in elastic fibers. We discuss the case of a child with a solitary giant cerebriform collagenoma on the lumbar region of her back.

Lichen scrofulosorum.

A 12-month-old boy with pulmonary tuberculosis developed a papular lichenoid eruption which showed epithelioid granulomas on histology, consistent with lichen scrofulosorum. Stains and cultures for mycobacteria in the skin were negative, and a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis failed to detect the DNA of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a skin biopsy specimen, thus making lichen scrofulosorum one of the remaining manifestations of M. tuberculosis infection in which evidence of the bacillus has not been found to date. Lichen scrofulosorum is now considered a rare form of tuberculid but should not be neglected.

A cutaneous eruption from G-CSF in a healthy donor.

A healthy 12-month-old donor treated with G-CSF for collection of stem cells from peripheral blood developed a discrete, papular, erythematous eruption which histologically showed irregularly shaped lymphocytes with mitoses. We suggest that such a reaction is due to activation of lymphocytes by G-CSF in a normal host, leading to atypical changes in cellularity.

Primary cutaneous Mycobacterium kansasii infection in a child.

A 6-year-old girl with a primary cutaneous form of Mycobacterium kansasii infection is presented. Disseminated infection and immune deficiency were excluded in our patient. She was successfully treated with surgical excision and oral erythromycin. Primary cutaneous M. kansasii is an exceedingly rare infection in children.
