[Onycho-osteo-dysplasia (in connection with two familial observations) (author's transl)].

The authors report on two familial observations of hereditary onycho-osteo-dysplasia and review the principal characteristics of this syndrome. Only one of the three reported cases presented the classical dysplastic tetrad. The other two suffered only from three associated anomalies (absence of elbow dysplasia). No renal involvement was observed. Dominant autosomal transmission was confirmed, in addition to a linkage with ABO blood groups. Finally, the authors emphasise the identity of phenotypic expression found in the cases studied.

[Bazin's hydroa vacciniforme : photobiological and metabolic study in 3 cases, and discussion on etiopathogenicity (author's transl)].

The authors described three cases of Bazin's hydroa vacciniforme. Study of the history of the disease enables present nosological conceptions to be better understood. Diagnosis of hydroa vacciniforme is essentially clinical : appearance of the rash, periodicity and spontaneous improvement after puberty are characteristic. Hydroa vacciniforme has to be distinguished from porphyrias and polymorphous light sensitive eruptions. The etiology of this photodermatosis of child is unknown, but associated disturbances in tryptophan metabolism in some cases seem to be linked to a vitamin B6 deficiency.

[Apropos of the Mali syndrome].

The authors report two original cases of profuse pigmentation associated with proliferative lesions of the lower limbs, in patients with venous incompetence, suggestive if the syndrome described by Mali and al. in 1963. One case was in fact of Kaposi's disease associated with severe thrombocytopenia which was the cause of death, despite the use of Chloraminophene-Cortancyl. The other case was a woman with profuse pigmentation of the lower limbs associated with multiple disseminated lesions of allergic vasculitis, probably of drug origin. Suppression of the drug and rest led to a marked improvement in the lesions. Although very different from each other, both of these cases are suggestive of Mali's syndrome, but their treatment was totally opposite. The first case, a real vascular neoplasia, required the combination of antimitotic-steroid ; the second case, on the contrary, resolved with rest and a simple elastic bandage, like allcutaneous venous lesions, in particular Mali's syndrome.
