Reticulate pigmented anomaly.

Reticulate pigmented anomaly of the flexures is a benign, recently described genodermatosis reported to involve the flexural areas as well as the scrotum. Described herein is a twenty-nine year old man in whom the characteristic speckled macules were limited to the scrotal and penile skin. The authors suggest that the anomaly be designated reticulate pigmented anomaly without reference to specific anatomic sites. It is possible that this pigmented eruption of the genitalia is a cutaneous marker of this patient's underlying testicular carcinoma.

Nonspecific antigen reactions.

Cell-mediated immune challenge reactions to a number of antigens at tumor sites resulted in regressions of various types of benign, premalignant, and malignant lesions in man. Regressions varied from partial to complete and lasted from several months to more than 10 years. Increased levels of cell-mediated immunocompetence were attained by several means, including reduction of tumor burden, immunopotentiation, or transfer of immunity. Antitumor activities of immune challenge reactions are selective for tumor cells and appear to be independent of the nature of the antigens used or the type of neoplasm. Combinations of immunotherapy with other treatment modalities resulted in augmentation of antitumor effects. Preliminary studies indicate that cellular and noncellular mediators of delayed hypersensitivity induce antitumor activities that may be significant in the regressions of neoplasms induced by cell-mediated immune challenge reactions. Since cell-mediated immune reactions are frequent occurrences, they may be a factor in apparently spontaneous regressions of neoplasms.
