Miliary pustular syphilid.
A case of secondary syphilis is presented in which a dramatic generalized eruption of pustules and an elevated temperature were prominent features. Biopsy of the skin lesions showed dermal granulomata, which are occasionally seen in the papulopustular lesions of secondary syphilis. The classification of pustular syphilids is reviewed.
Warty dyskeratoma.
A 43-year-old man with a crusted papule on the cheek was found to have a squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. Histologic examination of the skin lesion showed the characteristic features of warty dyskeratoma. A rare clinical photograph is presented and the clinical and histopathologic features are reviewed.
Lichen striatus with onychodystrophy.
Two case reports of lichen striatus with nail dystrophy are presented herein. Review of the literature suggests a more protracted course for the cutaneous eruption if there is nail involvement. Biopsy is important to differentiate this condition from other linear lesions that may interfere with normal nail growth.
