Transient bullous dermolysis of the newborn. Case report and review of pathogenesis.

A case of transient bullous dermolysis of the newborn is reported. A healthy Hispanic newborn developed bullae during the first two days of life. From age two to four weeks, the lesions healed with milia formation. There was no residual scarring or hypopigmentation. An induced blister showed dermal-epidermal separation with the PAS-positive basement membrane in the epidermal roof. PAS-positive inclusions were present in the cytoplasm of a few basal cells. Examination by electron microscopy showed degeneration of the collagen and anchoring fibrils. There were numerous stellate inclusions in the endoplasmic reticulum of the cytoplasm of the lesional basal keratinocytes.

Scleromyxedema with corneal deposits.

Scleromyxedema (Arndt-Gottron syndrome) is a rare cutaneous disease in which hyaluronic acid is deposited in the dermis. The authors describe a patient with scleromyxedema and corneal deposits. A corneal biopsy demonstrated hyaluronic acid deposition in the corneal stroma and amyloid P component in Bowman's membrane. This is the first report of scleromyxedema involving the cornea. It is also the first report of amyloid P component deposition in the cornea occurring independent of corneal amyloid deposits.
