Trichophyton rubrum tinea capitis in an 85-year-old woman.

BACKGROUND: Tinea capitis is a worldwide problem and occurs most commonly in young children. Certain common fungal types are most often recognized as the responsible infecting organism. OBJECTIVE: This article presents the case of an elderly woman with tinea capitis caused by a fungal organism that rarely infects hair. A review of the world literature provides evidence of only a few other similar cases. CONCLUSIONS: Trichophyton rubrum causing tinea capitis in adults is a rare but now increasingly recognized entity. This possibility should be kept in mind when caring for adults with nonhealing scalp conditions.

Pseudoepitheliomatous, keratotic, and micaceous balanitis.

A case of pseudoepitheliomatous, keratotic, and micaceous balanitis in a 69-year-old white man is presented. This report supports the notion that this condition is a localized form of verrucous carcinoma which tends to be resistant to treatment and to recur locally. Treatment with topical fluorouracil cream was partially effective but follow-up studies were not available because the patient died of lung cancer. This appears to be only the third reported case of this condition in the English literature.

Congenital temporal triangular alopecia.

Congenital temporal triangular alopecia is a form of nonscarring alopecia that, as its name suggests, is present at birth. Four cases are reported. One patient underwent hair transplantation, which was successful and might be useful in other patients. Cases occurring in a father and his son suggest for the first time a genetic link.

Solitary fibrofolliculoma.

We present a case of solitary fibrofolliculoma. Histopathologic findings of this entity are characteristic: in the dermis a central hair follicle is surrounded by a thick mantle of fibrotic and mucinous stroma, and numerous thin, anastomosing bands of follicular epithelium extend into this stroma. This entity has been described as occurring only multiply; to our knowledge, this is the first case report of a solitary fibrofolliculoma.

A case of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (type IV) with persisting vitelline duct cyst.

A twenty-four year old white man with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (Type IV) is presented herein. He demonstrates, or has demonstrated, spontaneous bowel perforation, club feet, cryptorchidism, spontaneous vascular rupture, prominent veins, and distal joint hypermobility. In addition, laparotomy for an acute abdominal condition at four years of age revealed a persisting and gangrenous vitelline duct cyst. We believe this is the first report of this congenital anomaly associated with this syndrome.
