Conjunctival involvement in malignancy-associated acanthosis nigricans.

Acanthosis nigricans classically presents with pigmented skin lesions over the neck, groin and axillae. It may involve the mucosal surfaces, particularly the oral mucosa. Conjunctival involvement is very rare, especially in the variety associated with malignancy. We report a case of acanthosis nigricans associated with squamous cell carcinoma of the bronchus where bilateral papillary conjunctivitis, progressing to hypertrophic papillary conjunctival and lid margin lesions, was the presenting feature. Topical treatment with corticosteroid and artificial tear drops resulted in the partial improvement of the ocular symptoms.

Hepatic sickling crisis mimicking recurrent cholangitis.

A 22-year-old man with homozygous sickle cell disease presented with recurrent fever, right upper quadrant pain and jaundice. Liver biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of hepatic sickling crisis; the symptoms responded to hydroxyurea therapy. Hepatic vasocclusive crisis can diagnosed on liver biopsy, and need not be a diagnosis of exclusion.
