[Keratoacanthoma over the donor site of a laminar skin graft].

We present a case of keratoacanthoma type II in a 38-year-old female patient, which developed in the thigh over the donor site of a laminar skin graft, six weeks after the procedure. The graft was utilized to cover the defect secondary to the resection of a melanoma. The possible role played by mechanical trauma in the development of this tumor, rare under such circumstances, is discussed. Similar previously published cases are reviewed.

[Epithelioid sarcoma].

A description is given of an epithelioid sarcoma observed in a male patient of 71 years of age. This two-year growth was located in the right leg and presented a clinical picture of a hard walled ulcer. After having been removed surgically the tumour reappeared after seven months at which point amputation was practised at the middle thigh. The patient died twelve months after amputation suffering from pleuropulmonary metastasis. An necropsy was not carried out. The finding of massive arterial neoplastic thrombosis in the histological study confirms the fatal outcome of the patient. The clinical, histological, evolutive and therapeutic characteristics of the epithelioid sarcoma are reviewed.
