Eruptive keratoacanthomas following carbon dioxide laser resurfacing.
BACKGROUND: Skin resurfacing with the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser is currently a popular means of improving rhytides and scars. Scarring, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, and infection are among the complications that have been known to occur in some patients treated with the CO2 laser. OBJECTIVE: We wish to communicate a previously unreported complication of CO2 laser resurfacing-multiple eruptive keratoacanthomas. METHOD: We describe a 61-year-old woman who presented with multiple eruptive keratoacanthomas subsequent to CO2 laser resurfacing. Her lesions were cultured for fungus and bacteria. Biopsy specimens of two lesions were taken. RESULTS: Cultures were negative for pathogens. Biopsy specimens revealed atypical squamous epithelial proliferation and changes consistent with eruptive keratoacanthomas. CONCLUSION: Multiple eruptive keratoacanthomas should be considered as a rare complication of CO2 laser resurfacing.

Botfly infestation (myiasis) masquerading as furunculosis.
With air travel so prevalent, diseases endemic to certain regions may appear anywhere. The botfly (Dermatobia hominis) is not native to North America. We describe a case of a young boy and his father who presented with furunculosis secondary to infestation with the botfly. The infected patients live in South Florida and had been vacationing in Central America. Standard surgical treatment as well as multiple native remedies are described.

Isolated tuberculous pericarditis still exists: a case history.
A fifty-four-year-old woman from a high socioeconomic class developed acute isolated tuberculous pericarditis, three years after her sister had recovered from such disease. She was treated successfully by a triple drug regimen including isoniazid, rifampin, and ethambutol.

Verrucous carcinoma in penile lichen sclerosus et atrophicus.
A patient presented with a verrucous carcinoma within a lesion of penile lichen sclerosus et atrophicus. We report a case of lichen sclerosus and the specific squamous cell carcinoma variant, verrucous carcinoma, treated by Mohs surgery.

Mohs surgery for periocular basal cell carcinomas.
Cure rates for 631 periocular basal cell carcinomas treated by Mohs surgery proved to be 98.1% for primary lesions and 93.6% for previously treated lesions. All recurrences of primary lesions post-Mohs surgery were located in the medial canthus. Among lesions previously treated, recurrence rates after Mohs surgery were twice as high for medial canthal lesions as for other periocular basal cell carcinomas, 9.5 and 4.5%, respectively. A threefold increased risk of recurrence was observed for medial canthal lesions (post-Mohs surgery) previously treated by radiation as compared to all other treatment modalities. This high recurrence rate may reflect past practices of treating large medial canthal basal cell carcinomas with radiation rather than by other means. Results of our study indicate that primary basal cell carcinomas in the medial canthus can be treated by microscopically controlled excision with excellent results.
