Lentigo maligna and malignant melanoma.

Lentigo maligna, a precancerous lesion, is a brown-black irregularly pigmented freckle, usually occurring on the face of the elderly subject. In a series of 99 patients with malignant melanomas, lentigo maligna was the pre-existing lesion in 21. The clinical and histological findings, and previous publications on the subject are reviewed. Lentigo maligna itself is not a superficial malignant melanoma. After the development of malignant melanoma from lentigo maligna, eight of 21 patients developed metastatic disease. This seems to indicate that once malignant melanoma has developed (whether de novo from the junctional portion of a pre-existing nevus, or from a lentigo maligna), the outlook is the same. During the development of malignant melanoma from lentigo maligna there is an indefinite period when it is virtually impossible to determine histologically whether malignant melanoma is present. Naturally, the inclusion of these indefinite cases will greatly influence reported results of treatment.

Percutaneous ablation of an internal iliac aneurysm using tissue adhesive.

We report the percutaneous injection of tissue adhesive (Tisseal, Immuno, Vienna, Austria) to ablate a 12-cm internal iliac aneurysm. The complex history of this lesion included previous surgery for a ruptured aortic aneurysm, attempted repair of the internal iliac aneurysm, and several embolization procedures. These factors precluded further open repair or transcatheter techniques and dictated the choice of a more direct approach.

What's in a name? Comments on the dermatological dictionary by Ledier, Rosenblum, and Carter.

BACKGROUND: Any scientific discipline needs a sharply defined set of words for exact and reproducible communication. Surprisingly this has never been a strong point in dermatological science, especially as regards the living gross pathology of skin disease. OBJECTIVE: This article briefly reviews the four editions of a dermatological dictionary of words and phrases and gives some thoughts on their usefulness. CONCLUSION: My conclusions are twofold: we need a new dictionary; at the very least, we need a reprinting of the fourth edition of "A Dictionary of Dermatologic Terms" by Carter.
