Scurvy in a nonalcoholic person in the United States.

Scurvy is rarely diagnosed in our society today. The authors describe the case of a 31-year-old man with weakness, gingival pain, and a rash over the lower extremities. He had a history of poor nutritional intake, no alcohol consumption, and a 13 pack-year history of cigarette smoking. Laboratory studies revealed an extremely deficient serum ascorbic acid level. Treatment was begun with oral ascorbic acid tablets and, within 3 days after discharge, all clinical symptoms of scurvy had resolved. Scurvy is an easily treated disease and should be considered when there is an appropriate history and classic clinical findings. Because vitamin C deficiency can be seen in many chronic disease states, it is important to recognize some of the early features and clinical manifestations of such nutritional deficiencies.

Basal cell nevus syndrome. Unresponsiveness of early cutaneous lesions to topical 5-fluorouracil or dinitrochlorobenzene.

A single patient with basal cell nevus syndrome is presented. Prolonged application of 5% 5-fluorouracil and dinitrochlorobenzene was unsuccessful in inducing regression or clearing of his cutaneous lesions. Our results suggest that these therapies, at least for the nevoid-appearing lesions, may not be effective in the management of some patients with basal cell nevus syndrome.

Adenomyomatous polyp of the stomach.

An unusual and rare benigh tumor of the distal antrum is described with radiologic and photomicrographic illustrations. Often confused with leiomyomas or pancreatic rests, the diagnosis has been made only at operation. With the newer technics that are now available, such as snare cautery or large-particle endoscopic biopsy, surgery may be avoided.
