Coronary artery ectasia associated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (Osler-Weber-Rendu disease) is characterized by a variety of cutaneous, mucosal, and visceral vascular anomalies. A patient with classic hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia was shown to have three-vessel coronary artery ectasia without evident atherosclerosis, and association not previously demonstrated. The possibility that coronary artery ectasia may be a manifestation of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia is discussed.

Chemotherapy-associated eccrine hidradenitis: neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis reevaluated: the role of neutrophilic infiltration.
Two cases of chemotherapy-associated eccrine hidradenitis are presented. Previous cases have been labeled "neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis" (NEH). Both cases reported herein involve neutropenic patients and are notable for the absence of neutrophils on histologic examination. Oncologists need to be aware of this newly described process, and this rash must be added to the differential diagnosis of the neutropenic oncology patient. The role of neutrophils in this disorder is discussed, and a new term, "chemotherapy-associated eccrine hidradenitis," is suggested for this unusual process.

Eruptive familial angiolipomas occurring during pregnancy.
Multiple angiolipomas presenting acutely in a pregnant woman are described. To the best of our knowledge, onset of this eruption during pregnancy has not been reported previously.

Penile premalignant fibroepithelioma of Pinkus.
A 63-year-old man with a premalignant fibroepithelioma of Pinkus on the base of his penis is presented. Penile premalignant fibroepitheliomas have not, to the best of our knowledge, been previously described. Because fibroepithelioma of Pinkus is a morphological variant of a basal cell epithelioma, we believe that clinically benign fibroma-like lesions appearing on the penis should be biopsied to rule out the presence of this premalignant lesion.

Simultaneous onset of alopecia areata and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura: A potential association?
Alopecia areata (AA) has been associated with a variety of autoimmune diseases. Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disease marked by isolated thrombocytopenia. We present a young girl with the simultaneous onset of AA and ITP. To the best of our knowledge, this association has not previously been reported. We hypothesize that ITP may be one of many autoimmune diseases associated with AA via antibodies that cross-react between platelet membrane glycoproteins and follicular glycoproteins.

Urticaria pigmentosa presenting with massive peripheral eosinophilia.
A 5-month-old Hispanic boy had a diffuse eruption and massive peripheral eosinophilia. Mastocytosis was diagnosed by skin biopsy and Giemsa stain. Other causes of eosinophilia were ruled out by bone marrow examination and negative cultures. The patient's course improved with antihistamines and the removal of mast cell degranulating agents. Clinicians need to be aware that mastocytosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of eosinophilia.
