[Acanthosis nigricans associated with diffuse esophageal papillomatosis].

Two cases of acanthosis nigricans seen in 2 women, the characteristics of which were those of malignant forms, showed oesophageal involvment, the appearance of which was quite similar to that of the mucosal localisations of the syndrome. The authors discuss the features which distinguish the oesophageal localisation of acanthosis nigricans from other types of oesophageal acanthosis or papillomata. In one case, this type of acanthosis, seven years after its onset, was not associated with any detectable malignant change and in the other the cutaneous lesions were improved following surgery at which the associated gastric tumour was not removed.

[Epithelial cancer and monoclonal immunoglobulins].

The authors report 4 cases of carcinoma of the intestine, stomach, ovary and breast, association with monoclonal Ig. Clinical and laboratory analysis showed, in particular, that the immunoglobulin was present in small quantity and that there was no Bence-Jones protein in these 4 cases, that the bone marrow was little, or practically unmodified. The authors then discuss the nature, whether by chance or not, of this association the differential diagnosis with major monoclonal dysglobulinemia, e.g. myeloma or Waldenström's disease, and the significance in a cancer patient, of the discovery of Igmc. According to the authors, although in a few cases the tumour may induce development of a clone secreting Igmc, usually carcinoma and Igmc are independent from one another and are due to a common mechanism : reduction in cell immunity, according to Burnet.
