[Tumoral sarcoidosis].

INTRODUCTION: We report here an unusual tumoral form of cutaneous sarcoidosis which lead to diagnostical difficulties. CASE REPORT: A 56 year-old woman was hospitalized for a large lumbo-sacral tumor which size had rapidly increased. The tumor was purplish-red, firm, measured 10 x 20 cm and the patient was unable to sit normally. The biopsies demonstrated a dermohypodermal epithelioid and giant cell granuloma without necrosis. We ruled out an infectious granuloma and a foreign body granuloma. There were no extra-cutaneous localizations. This sarcoidal tumor cured with systemic corticosteroids. DISCUSSION: Tumoral cutaneous forms of sarcoidosis are uncommon; 3 other cases of the literature are reported. Before to state positively this forms it is obligatory to rule out all the other aetiologies of sarcoidal granuloma. The existence of extra-cutaneous localizations and multiple skin localizations is helpful to diagnose this uncommon type of sarcoidosis.

[White lentiginosis].

INTRODUCTION: A congenital guttate hypomelanosis is an unusual feature not yet mentioned in the dermatologic literature. CASE REPORT: We observed 1982 in a 28 y. female patient numerous guttate lesions, which were flat and pigmented on the light-exposed areas of her limbs, flat or papulokeratotic and depigmented on her trunk. These lesions disclosed a particular histological aspect characterized by a lentiginous hyperplasia of the epidermis, with elongated club-shaped rete ridges, and an unusual loss of pigmentation without disturbance of the keratinization. Further electronmicroscopical and immunohistochemical data were not available. The patient emphasized the congenital occurrence of these lesions, whose fixity could be assessed during a 4 year-follow up time. COMMENTS: The unusual histological aspect allows the differentiation of these depigmented spots and other known similar conditions: macular leucoderma as sequellae of previous inflammatory diseases, hypomelanotic macules associated with genodermatoses, idiopathic guttate hypomelanoses. CONCLUSION: This seems to be a not yet described entity which we propose to denominate "white lentiginosis".

Renal impairment probably induced by etretinate.

A 83-year-old patient had been treated for pityriasis rubra pilaris with 70 mg etretinate daily. He developed acute renal impairment, with creatinine levels reaching 73 mg/l on day 7. After discontinuation of etretinate, all biological changes were reversible. Although renal impairment is not considered as retinoid side effect, the chronology of renal changes is very suggestive of etretinate responsibility.

Systemic contact dermatitis from pseudoephedrine.

A patient with rhinitis developed systemic contact dermatitis when starting oral treatment with Rhinalair, containing pseudoephedrine hydrochloride. A few months later, another oral treatment Rinutan, containing norephedrine hydrochloride, provoked a more severe generalized eczema. Patch test reactions were strongly positive to ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, slightly positive to phenylephrine and negative to epinephrine. Norephedrine was not tested.
