Insulin receptors in psoriasis.

We have demonstrated how in psoriasis, irrespective of any diabetic family history, there exists a state of hyperinsulinism with a decreased resistance to insulin, which is aggravated by obesity. Since reviewing the latest studies concerning diabetes at the receptor level, we have carried out a comparative study dealing with insulin receptors in lymphocytes in homogeneous groups of normal, obese, and psoriatics of normal weight and overweight. We have also made a comparison regarding the behaviour of the receptors in these various metabolic states.

Scintigraphic evaluation of Kaposi's sarcoma.

10 patients with clinical and histopathological evidence of Kaposi's sarcoma were evaluated with 99Tcm-pertechnetate and 67Ga-citrate scintigraphs. Combined studies using these radionuclides are useful aids in investigating, detecting and following-up Kaposi's sarcoma and any associated lymphoma or other malignancies.

Familial multiple lipomatosis.

A clinical study was made of 14 cases of multiple symmetrical lipomata in two families. There were 7 female and 7 male patients. In one family the members affected were observed in four generations. The disease set in during the third or fourth decade of life. The lipomata ranged in size from that of a pea to that of a hen's egg. They were limited to the forearms and trunk were asymptomatic.

Primary cutaneous cryptococcosis in an HIV-negative patient.

We report a case of primary cutaneous cryptococcosis in an HIV-negative patient, who presented with painless, ulcerated lesions involving the right forearm (fingers and elbow), which developed over 45 days. On the basis of the clinical appearance, serological and cultural examinations were performed to confirm the diagnosis; the histological evaluation of a skin biopsy showed an acute inflammatory infiltrate containing several PAS + Cryptococci. Subsequently, the patient was treated with fluconazole (400 mg/day for 10 days, then a maintenance therapy of 200 mg/day); after one month, the cutaneous lesions were remarkably improved, but, although a series of further laboratory and clinical examinations was scheduled, the patient repeatedly refused any other re-evaluation, and he was lost from follow-up.
