[Nonsurgical treatment of cystic lymphangioma].

Capillary lymphangiomas present of birth, and which have very little tendency to regress, must be distinguished from true cystic lymphangiomas developing after birth which are probably due to lymph blockade and are not true congenital malformations. This probably explains why the latter lesions regress either spontaneously or more rapidly after treatment with products such as Ethibloc. In the latter case, the efficacy of Ethibloc therapy appears to be equal to that of surgery without the formation of a scar and should therefore be tried initially before surgery.

[Superficial cervicocerebral angiomas. Should complementary tests be required?].

A computer-assisted study of 772 patients with haemangiomas and vascular malformations was conducted during a 2-year period with special attention to complications and associated anomalies, such as laryngeal, meningeal or cerebral vascular malformations. We report here the data obtained from 397 of these patients totalling 401 superficial haemangiomas and vascular malformations of the head and neck. We classified the lesions into immature angiomas, growing and subsiding during childhood, and mature vascular malformations with a life-long development, themselves divided into arteriovenous, capillary and venous malformations. We found that each group had its own specific complications. Severe complications, notably vascular brain lesions, were eventually observed in patients with superficial arteriovenous malformations of the head. Extensive complementary investigations, including CT scans and arteriography, are therefore not justified in every case. Guidelines are offered to evaluate the risk according to the clinical diagnosis.

[Results of primary culture of malignant melanoma explants by the so-called compact covering lattices method].

Results from primary cultures of malignant melanomas explants can be amplified. The original method is based upon collagen lattices use. The collagen is retracted by human fibroblasts obtained from human angiomas. The cultured tumor fragments are covered by the lattices, which are now adhering to the flask. Six primitive malignant melanomas and three cutaneous metastases were cultured according to the classical method and the new method described here. Compact covering lattices allow a regular melanocytic redifferentiation either in primitive malignant melanomas or in cutaneous metastases. The results point out: the microenvironment's role in tumour growth; the different behaviour of primitive tumours and metastases.

Facial port-wine stains and Sturge-Weber syndrome.

A retrospective study was made of 106 cases of facial port-wine stains. It was concluded that only patients with lesions located in the ophthalmic (or V1 trigeminal) cutaneous area are at risk for associated neuro-ocular symptoms. It is proposed that Sturge-Weber syndrome results from a dysmorphogenesis of cephalic neuroectoderm.

[Urticaria-oike follicular mucinosis (author's transl)].

Attention is drawn to a new clinical and pathological syndrome, part of the follicular mucinosis group, which is a cyclic, urticarial rash, of the head and neck, occurring in man, without follicular plugging and alopecia, and of benign course. 10 cases are presented here. All patients are middle aged men. Rash is pruritic and recurrent. Clinical aspects and histological findings are described.

[Knowledge of Solomon's epidermal nevus syndrome (author's transl)].

Solomon's epidermal nevus syndrome is a questionable entity, because of its clinical heterogeneity. Four cases are presented in this paper, with emphasis on the complex relationship between variable types of epidermal nevi and diverse kinds of associated nervous, ocular and bone abnormalities. Nevertheless, it is of practical interest to know the frequency and the variability of these ectodermal and mesodermal associated defects; whatever the epidermal nevus, a careful examination must be carried out, in search of ocular, nervous, bone and renal signs, and, less frequently, but more often than in other children, these patients seem to be exposed to visceral malignancies.

[Menkes' disease (new skin and hair ultrastructural abnormalities) (author's transl)].

The authors report the sixth case of Menkes' kinky hair disease. This boy has been observed for as long as 16 months, and he his still alive at the time of publication. This genetic, X linked disorder of copper metabolism is always fatal in childhood. Diagnosis is evoked when is noted the conjunction of progressive cerebral degeneration, seizures, with pili torti and monilethrix. It can be asserted with the very low copper and cerulo-plasmin blood levels. Recognition of the disease in utero might be possible. New findings in skin' electron microscopy and hair' scanning electron microscopy are reported here. And two RX scanner of the brain have been performed.

[Syncope and transitory amaurosis during mastocytosis].

In a 70-year old man who has been suffering for 20 years from mastocytosis, a syncope followed by a transitory amaurosis occured. Neurological complications of mastocytosis are exceptionnal. Syncope is the most frequent, secondary to a drop in arterial pressure due to an inappropriate discharge of histamin.
