A case of Grover's disease with syringoma-like features and leukemia cutis.

UNLABELLED: Leukemia cutis used to be a late manifestation of leukemia. On the other hand, Grover's disease has been described in the setting of cancer. CASE REPORT: A patient diagnosed as having a chronic myelomonocytic leukemia presented with lichenoid, slightly infiltrated plaques on the anterior aspect of his thorax and abdomen and papulovesicles on his back. A skin biopsy showed the co-existence of leukemia cutis, Grover's disease, and syringoma-like features. DISCUSSION: We discuss and comment upon this unusual association.

[Systemic amyloidoses].

Amyloidoses are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by extracellular fibrillar protein deposits in the organs and tissues. These proteins are not biochemically related to each other, but share certain common characteristics, including apple green birefringence with polarized light after staining with Congo red, and beta-pleated sheet configuration through x-ray diffraction. Amyloid deposits may occur in many organs (systemic amyloidoses) or may affect a single tissue (localized or organ-specific amyloidoses). There are different classifications, but in this review the amyloidoses are organized by clinical symptoms, which are determined by the amyloid protein involved. Special attention is given to cutaneous and mucous membrane manifestations, which are often the first sign of the disease and are useful for early diagnosis, thus avoiding more aggressive procedures. The involvement of other organs is analyzed, as are the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of systemic amyloidoses.
