Cutaneous manifestations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Cutaneous lesions arising during the course of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), generally of the B-cell type, are frequent. Three types of cutaneous manifestations must be differentiated: (1) specific lesions, (2) cutaneous manifestations closely related to the disease but without a leukemoid infiltrate and (3) associations with various dermatologic conditions. The various clinical features are discussed.

[Non-drug toxicoderma by a respiratory or probable percutaneous route (fluorocarbons, butane, phenyl-azo-beta-naphthol)].

Four cases of cutaneous rash, clinically more or less similar to erythema multiforme have been observed in patient who either stayed in a room with an accidentally high content of fluorocarbons, or had a skin contact with butane or phenyl-azo-beta-naphthol. The cutaneous lesions appear to be secondary to absorption of the toxic product, and probably induced by inhalation rather than by percutaneous penetration. Arguments for the responsibility of the substances rely on anamnestic data.

[Photoallergy to quinine].

A case of occupational photodermatitis induced by quinin sulphate is reported. Photobiologic investigation disclosed the responsible photoallergin, demonstrated the mechanism to be of the photoallergic type, and proved the active rays to be mostly UVA. It seems that we do not deal with a contact photodermatitis, but with an internal photosensitization induced by absorption or inhalation of quinin powder and possibly excreting during sweating.

[Factitious crusting cheilitis].

The authors report 4 cases of factitious crusting cheilitis seen in young women. The lesions are crusty, yellowish or even black, forming as a mould casting the lip. The crusts are sometimes very thick just as an oyster-shell. When removed the underlying mucosa appears either normal or erosive and the crusts reappear rapidly. Emotional factors and personality disturbances are often present. Most probably the crusts are the result of a traumatic mechanism induced by chewing or sucking the lip. In the 4 reported patients the clinical aspect and the psychological status of the patients are similar, the 4 of them being not at all bothered by their cheilitis. The factitious keratotic cheilitis has to be differentiated from other cheilitis induced by Candida albicans (although Candida albicans may superinfect any cheilitis) or by an actinic phenomenon, from glandular cheilitis (of the Puente-Acevedo or of the Volkmann type) and from dermatitis localized on the lips. In some instances an exfoliative cheilitis may also to be of factitious origin. The factitious origin of such a cheilitis is always difficult to demonstrate but its possibility should be kept in mind.

[Sandy nails and twenty-nail dystrophy of childhood. Apropos of 2 cases].

2 apparently idiopathic cases of twenty-nail dystrophy of childhood are reported with follow-ups of 4 and 16 years, respectively. The associated koilonychia appears to be only fortuitous and related to the fragility of the nail. Trachyonychia should be considered as a symptom often related to external traumatism or dermatoses, particularly alopecia areata or lichen planus, of which it could be a specific isolated location. Within the spectrum of apparently idiopathic trachyonychies , the twenty-nail dystrophy of childhood appears to be a real entity on the basis of its clinical features and course.
