Generalized granuloma annulare.

A 94-year-old man presented with a relatively asymptomatic eruption of his forearms, abdomen, and back comprising symmetric erythematous papules and plaques. Generalized granuloma annulare is an idiopathic disorder that occurs more commonly in older patients and is characterized by numerous flesh-colored-to-erythematous papules. It is distinguished histologically by palisading granulomas with central connective tissue degeneration and with central mucin. Therapy has been attempted with various modalities with moderate efficacy.

Rickettsialpox: report of three cases and a review.

Rickettsialpox is a rare mite-borne rickettsiosis that is encountered in urban populations in the eastern United States and throughout the world. It is characterized clinically by an eschar, fever, and a papulovesicular eruption. Both of these cutaneous manifestations may be mimicked by infectious diseases that have been designated as bioterrorist agents by the United States Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention: the former by anthrax, and the latter by smallpox. It is thus important for clinicians to be familiar with rickettsialpox. We report 3 cases and review the epidemiology, clinical and laboratory findings, differential diagnosis, and management of this disease.

Erythema elevatum diutinum.

A 53-year-old man with human-immunodeficiency-virus infection presents with a 2-year history of nodules on the extensor surfaces of his extremities. A biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of erythema elevatum diutinum. The clinical presentation, histopathology, etiology, and treatment options are reviewed.

Blaschkoid eccrine spiradenomas.

We report a case of multiple eccrine spiradenomas that arose in adulthood along a patient's arm and continued to the midline of the patient's chest across multiple dermatomes. This is one of a handful of such cases, which have been reported as linear, nevoid, or zosteriform eccrine spiradenomas. We believe this distribution is best described as Blaschkoid rather than zosteriform or linear because these lesions follow the lines of Blaschko rather than those of a single dermatome.
