Pityrosporum infection in an infant with lesions resembling erythema annulare centrifugum.

Erythematous, scaling patches over the face, torso, and extremities developed in a 2-month-old female infant. The facial lesions enlarged and became confluent, while the torso and leg lesions enlarged and assumed an annular configuration. Spores of Pityrosporum ovale and Pityrosporum orbiculare were found in large numbers in potassium hydroxide preparations from these lesions, a finding confirmed by culture. Clotrimazole ointment was applied, and the lesions resolved within one week, leaving depigmentation. The findings in this case and those of erythema gyratum atrophicans transiens neonatale resembled each other except for the demonstration of Pityrosporum spores. We assume that the disorder in our patient may represent superficial gyrate erythema (erythema annulare centrifugum) induced by Pityrosporum spores.

[Vasculo-Behçet's disease with superior sagittal sinus thrombosis--case report (author's transl)].

The patient is a 30-year-old man who has suffered from recurrent attacks of tonsilitis, oral aphthae and scrotal ulcerations, erythema nodosum and thrombophlebitis. In April, 1980, he gradually developed headache and visual disturbance. On April 14, 1980, he was pointed out remarked bilateral choked disc by an ophthalmologist and then admitted to the Miyazaki Medical College Hospital. On admission to our service, he showed atypical symptoms of Behçet's disease, namely, oral aphthae and scrotal ulcerations, erythema nodosum and bilateral choked disc. Laboratory data demonstrated hyperimmunoglobulinemia, increased clotting factors and decreased fibrinolytic activity. Immunogenetically, HLA BW51 type was demonstrated. The angiograms showed complete obstructions of the superior sagittal sinus and the common trunk of the femoral artery. Histological examination of the skin lesion demonstrated atypical chronic inflammation and thrombophlebitis. A diagnosis of atypical Vasculo-Behçet's disease was made. The response to the steroid therapy was dramatic, though the fibrinolytic drugs, anticoagulants and vasodilators were not effective. Thrombophlebitis is a well recognized complication of Behçet's disease occurring in major vessels, however thrombosis of the dural sinus has rarely reported. This case may be the first one which had superior sagittal sinus thrombosis with Vasculo-Behçet's disease in literature. We discussed the mechanism of the thrombogenesis, the relationship to HLA, the coexistence of Neuro-Behçet's disease and the therapy of Vasculo-Behçet's disease.

Haber's syndrome. Report of a new family.

Three Japanese brothers had the rosacea-like facies and multiple intraepidermal epitheliomas that characterize Haber's syndrome. They also had xerosis of the lower extremities. The facial lesions were dry, warm, erythematous, and indurated, with enlarged follicular orifices and telangiectasia. One patient had disturbing "burning" of the face, which was relieved by short courses of steroid therapy that were given for systemic effects.

Angiomatous lesions of glans penis.

Two patients with an angiomatous lesion of the glans penis are presented. These lesions are rare and difficult to distinguish from the spongiosum tissue. There is much controversy concerning their true nature, i.e., whether they represent a true neoplasm, herniation of the corpus spongiosum, or vascularization of a hematoma or thrombus. The present lesions were not true neoplasms, but are best described as malformative lesions.
