Papular xanthoma. Clinical, histological and ultrastructural study.

The 5th case of papular xanthoma is reported. This entity can be differentiated on the basis of clinical and histological features: normolipidemic, nonconfluent, eruptive xanthomas located on the face, trunk and mucous membranes with no internal involvement. Histologically there are foamy cells and Touton giant cells without an inflammatory or histiocytic component. Electron microscopy shows macrophages packed with free lipidic vacuoles and lacking specific markers.

Hair-follicle nevus.

A case of a 5-year-old child with a rare nevus of a hair follicle is reported. Histologically it was characterized by many hair follicles within the dermis at the same level of maturation. This nevus must be differentiated from other hamartomas of hair follicles and from Becker's nevus.

Diffuse and bilateral lichen striatus.

A 5-year-old girl had a papulo-squamous dermatosis arranged in a Blaschko line pattern of 1 month's duration. The skin lesions were asymmetrically distributed bilaterally on the face, neck, trunk, and limbs. Histologically there was a lichenoid infiltrate with foci of spongiosis. The dermatosis cleared spontaneously with hypopigmentation 16 months later. Lichen striatus usually occurs in a solitary and unilateral fashion. Its diffuse and bilateral distribution is an uncommon presentation.
