We present a very typical case of pseudo-xanthoma elasticum (PXE) with very remarkable cutaneous lesions, a great number of angioid streaks and, at the moment, with no involvement of the peripheral vascular system. From a genetic standpoint, we believe it must be considered as recessive Type I. An X-ray microanalysis was performed showing intense Ca and P deposits in the affected areas as well as complete absence of Si.
We describe a variation of the conventional vermilionectomy consisting of incisions using the W-plasty technique, which allows a more distensible scar with better cosmetic and functional results. Its primary indications are actinic cheilitis and leukoplakia of the lower lip. It is a more complicated technique than the classic one, and requires a larger loss of skin, but the benefits largely outweigh the drawbacks.
We present a case of orificial tuberculosis in a male of 51, consisting on an ulcer in the pallatum. This diagnosis lead us into finding an advanced active pulmonary tuberculosis which the patient ignored. We want also to emphasize the importance of a correct differential diagnosis regarding oral cavity ulcers, among which we must always keep in mind that tuberculosis is still quite common in our environment, as well as squamous cell carcinoma, reticulum cell sarcoma, eosinophilic granuloma, stomatitis ulceromembranous.
