Lichen amyloidosus treated by hydrocolloid dressings.

We hereby report a case of lichen amyloidosus in a 69-year-old man unresponsive to various treatments. The patient was treated by occlusion with hydrocolloid dressings. Considerable subjective and objective improvement was observed with respect to the pruritus and cosmetic appearance. We suggest this convenient and efficacious treatment as first line therapy.

Multiple agminated superficial arteriovenous haemangioma on the scalp.

We describe a patient with an unusual presentation of multiple arteriovenous haemangioma (AVH) grouped in one area of the scalp. The diagnosis was confirmed by histological, X-ray and ultrasound studies. These lesion represent a rare, benign, acquired vascular hamartomatous formation that arises from the suprapapillary vascular plexus.

Tungiasis.

A 24-year-old man developed slow-growing lesions on subungual and plantar areas that appeared a few weeks after returning from a trip to South America. The diagnosis of tungiasis was established by microscopic examination of a lesion. Tungiasis is rarely seen in non-endemic areas.

Follicular B-cell pseudolymphoma.

A 60-year-old woman presented with a 3-week history of a pruritic papulo-nodular eruption on the face and trunk after a bee sting. Histological examination showed a predominantly lymphocytic infiltrate with follicular centres and tingible body macrophages. Immunohistochemically, positive staining for both kappa and lambda light chains was noted. The eruption settled with oral antihistamine and topical corticosteroid. These findings support the diagnosis of follicular B-cell pseudolymphoma.

Subungual amelanotic melanoma.

Stewart-Treves syndrome in a patient with elephantiasis.

Angiosarcoma that develops in areas of chronic lymphedema is also called Stewart-Treves syndrome. It usually appears in areas of lymphedema several years after mastectomy for breast carcinoma. Only 10% of these angiosarcomas occur in areas of chronic lymphedema as a result of another cause. We present a patient with epithelioid angiosarcoma as a rare complication of elephantiasis.

Solitary glomus tumour.

A 42-year-old woman developed a purplish, tender nodule on her wrist of 6 months duration. Histological examination showed a well-circumscribed lesion situated in the dermis and subcutis characterized by numerous, dilated thin-walled vascular spaces surrounded by sheets of glomus cells. The histological findings are characteristic of the diagnosis of an uncommon type of glomus tumour, known as glomangioma.
