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 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.
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 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.
A case of Sézary's syndrome occurred in a 45-year-old man. The unusual noteworthy features in this case are dermal sclerosis, peripheral neuropathy, and bone marrow fibrosis. In two other cases, reviewed here, there was a tendency to fibrosis; therefore, we propose that this process may be an integral part of Sézary's syndrome.
