Xanthoma disseminatum: a case with extensive mucous membrane involvement.

A 37-year-old man had red or brownish papules on his face, chest, and groin, where they coalesced into plaques. Endoscopic examination revealed the presence of small xanthomatous papules on the mucous membrane of the stomach. A biopsy specimen revealed a dense infiltrate of histiocytes, foam cells, Touton giant cells, and inflammatory cells. The diagnosis of non-X histiocytosis was confirmed by immunohistochemical studies of the infiltrate.

[Cutaneous calcinosis with transepithelial elimination in porphyria cutanea tarda. Chemico-structural characterization].

The Authors describe a case of porphyria cutanea tarda with subcutaneous calcinosis which sustains transepidermal elimination at certain points. The structural and chemical characterization of this material revealed a kind of apatite similar to that of depositions present in calcified human aorta wall and human mitral valve.

[The multitest in evaluating cellular immunity].

It has been recently shown that the skin has a really active role in the immune system. The evaluation of delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity is an important step for the screening of the cell-mediated immune response. The multitest system contains seven antigens and 1 control put together in the same instrument. The results obtained with multitest are more reliable than those with monoantigenic systems. The Authors studied 138 patients affected by diseases with presumable cell-mediated immune deficiency. The comparison between clinical suspicion of immune deficiency, laboratory tests, and multitest showed statistically the usefulness and reliability of this test as a part of the screening for cellular immune deficiency.
