Cutaneous extravascular necrotizing granuloma in a patient with Takayasu's aortitis.
Cutaneous extravascular necrotizing granulomas (Churg-Strauss granulomas) have been noted in several systemic diseases, most often those producing or associated with systemic vasculitis. A young man with the clinical and histopathologic features of Takayasu's aortitis developed typical extravascular necrotizing granulomas of the skin. Takayasu's aortitis, like allergic granulomatosis and Wegener's granulomatosis, is a granulomatous vasculitis syndrome associated with the cutaneous Churg-Strauss granuloma.
Cancer of the skin in blacks. III. A review of nineteen black patients with Bowen's disease.
In a series of nineteen black patients with Bowen's disease of the skin diagnosed between 1948 and 1982, twenty-one lesions occurred. Involvement on non-sun-exposed areas was three times more common than on sun-exposed areas. The most common location was the lower extremity. A history of arsenic ingestion could not be confirmed in any of the patients, but was suggested by histopathologic findings in at least one instance. Invasive lesions developed in five patients, three of whom subsequently died from metastatic disease. Five patients also had a second noncutaneous malignancy.
Cancer of the skin in blacks. II. A review of thirty-six black patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the lip.
Cancer of the lip in blacks is rare, according to the literature. Using information obtained from the Tumor Registry of Charity Hospital of Louisiana in New Orleans, we discuss data on thirty-six black patients having a total of thirty-seven squamous cell carcinomas of the lip during the years 1948 to 1979. The overall mortality was 19.4% with metastasis developing from lower lip lesions in seven cases.
Cancer of the skin in blacks. I. A review of 163 black patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.
Cancer of the skin, in general, is believed to be rather uncommon in black persons. Information from the Tumor Registry of Charity Hospital of Louisiana in New Orleans was reviewed in reference to black patients who were diagnosed as having squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin between 1948 and 1979. During this period, 163 black patients had a total of 176 SCCs of the skin. The lesions were about 20% more common than basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) in blacks of the same patient population. A mortality of 18.4% was a significant finding. The most common sites of involvement were the face and the lower extremity. Collectively, involvement of the non-sun-exposed areas was more common. The most common predisposing conditions were scarring processes.
