Corticosteroid-induced juxta-articular adiposis dolorosa.

Long-term treatment with high doses of corticosteroids leads to the development of truncal obesity and focal fatty deposition. These deposits characteristically are located on the face, the nuchal and truncal areas, and episternally, as well as in the mediastinum and epicardium. We studied a patient with juxta-articular adiposis dolorosa who had L-tryptophan-associated eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome and was treated with high doses of prednisone. This is the first reported case of adiposis dolorosa occurring as a complication of corticosteroid treatment. Alterations of fat metabolism induced by corticosteroid excess may have played a role in the development of this unusual painful syndrome.

Intraoperative tissue expansion using a Foley catheter following excision of a basal cell carcinoma.

Chronic tissue expansion has gained an accepted role in reconstructive surgery. Recently, intraoperative tissue expansion (rapid expansion) has been introduced as an alternate technique for recruitment of additional tissue to aid in wound closure. At the present time, the available expanders are designed for single use and then must be discarded; thus they are relatively expensive. We present the use of the readily accessible Foley catheter as a suitable, inexpensive, safe, and practical device for intraoperative tissue expansion.

Basal cell carcinoma at the base of the penis in a black patient.

Basal cell carcinoma is the most commonly diagnosed malignant skin tumor. It is found most frequently on sun-exposed skin. There is a higher incidence of basal cell carcinoma in white skin than in black skin. We report the thirteenth case of basal cell carcinoma on the penis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported such case in a black patient.

Carbon dioxide laser treatment of erythroplasia of Queyrat.

We present a case of erythroplasia of Queyrat in a 77-year-old man involving the distal two-thirds of the penis. There was no urethral or periurethral involvement. Due to the location of the lesion, its recognition as carcinoma in situ, and the technical difficulty of cold-steel excision in this area, we used the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser to selectively destroy the tumor. In this case the laser provided controllable tissue destruction, ease of surgery, and excellent cosmesis.

Comparison of CO2 laser and electrosurgery in the treatment of rhinophyma.

A number of surgical modalities, including the CO2 laser, have been advocated for the treatment of rhinophyma. The CO2 laser has been extensively promoted for the management of many skin lesions, including warts, keloids, and various nail problems. In many instances it has been suggested that the CO2 laser holds a distinct advantage over other surgical modalities. Three patients with rhinophyma are presented. Results are compared after treating one half of the nose with biterminal electrocutting current and the other half with the beam of the CO2 laser.
