Self-healing pseudoangiosarcoma. Unusual vascular proliferation resembling a vascular malignancy of the skin.

Pseudomalignant vascular lesions are increasingly recognized by dermatologists and may be present in several disorders affecting vessels. We describe a 58-year-old obese woman who developed vascular papulonodular lesions in the left inguinocrural area, clinically and histologically resembling a malignant vascular proliferation, that spontaneously regressed within a few months, after bed rest and weight reduction. Therefore, our patient's vascular lesions appear to have been pseudomalignancies. There are no other similar conditions reported in the literature. This kind of disorder demonstrates that vascular tissue can be involved in very bizarre cell and tissue reactions to several stimuli and can mimic malignant neoplasms. We stress the importance of constant surveillance of this kind of lesion to collect adequate clinical data, because histologic findings alone may cause misdiagnosis and lead to treatment hazardous to the patient.

Intertriginous eruption associated with chemotherapy in pediatric patients.

BACKGROUND: Cutaneous eruptions commonly occur in children receiving chemotherapy, and the clinical situation often demands immediate diagnosis and initiation of treatment. Several patterns of cutaneous eruptions to chemotherapy have been reported; however, the nomenclature used to describe these entities has been derived from the histologic findings. The morphologic characteristics, distribution, and natural history of these reactions have not been well established. OBSERVATIONS: We report the clinical features of 16 pediatric patients with a distinctive chemotherapy-induced eruption. The eruption is most prominent in or limited to intertriginous regions and areas of occlusion. We were not able to identify any single chemotherapeutic agent or even a group of agents in the same pharmacologic family that seemed to be associated with this reaction. The eruption did not appear to be related to sex, age, ethnicity, underlying malignancy, or genetic disease. CONCLUSIONS: Recognition of this distinct clinical pattern can help rule out more serious entities, avoid a biopsy, and reassure the physician and patient of the benign and self-resolving clinical course. This entity may be observed with many chemotherapeutic agents and underlying diseases, but most often with high-dose chemotherapy protocols.

The head-tilt maneuver: a clinical aid in recognizing head and neck angiosarcomas.

BACKGROUND: Cutaneous angiosarcoma is a rare, life-threatening tumor that is often initially misdiagnosed. This delay in diagnosis can affect tumor growth, metastatic potential, and prognosis. OBSERVATIONS: We describe the "head-tilt maneuver," which highlights the vascular nature of these lesions and can be of potential benefit in early recognition and better appreciation of the clinical extent of this tumor. CONCLUSION: Early recognition and aggressive management of these tumors can afford the best opportunity for cure.

Von Hippel-Lindau disease: clinical and pathological manifestations in nine families with 50 affected members.

Fifty individuals in nine families had von Hippel-Lindau disease. Nearly all of the morbidity and mortality of the entity is associated with six of its manifestations, each of which can be successfully treated. Retinal angiomatosis, which occurs in more than half of those affected, can produce blindness if not treated. Cerebellar hemangioblastoma, which is observed in one third of patients, is the most common source of initial symptoms and caused more than half of the deaths in the series. Medullary and spinal hemangioblastomas occur infrequently. Pheochromocytoma is common in certain families and is usually bilateral. Renal cell carcinoma, which generally arises at a later age, may befall the patient who is successfully treated for the tumors that occurred earlier. However, this tumor can be treated also, if there is early detection.

Hemangioblastoma of the spinal cord. Review and report of five cases.

Eighty-five cases of hemangioblastoma of the spinal cord are reviewed, including five new ones. While current views of the incidence, histology, and cytogenesis are presented, the main purpose of this article is to call attention to the identifying clinical and radiological characteristics of these spinal tumors. Median age at onset of symptoms was 30 years. The ratio of men to women was 1.1:1. Presenting symptoms were usually radicular pain or posterior column sensory loss or both. The lesions were most often single (79%), intramedullary (60%), and located in the cervical or thoracic spinal cord. There was associated syringomyelia in 67% of intramedullary cases and meningeal varicosities in 48% of all cases. Lindau disease and hemangioblastomas in other central nervous system locations were present in 33% of cases. The characteristic roentgenographic picture is a densely vascular tumor in association with a larger avascular syrinx and meningeal varicosities. Surgery is the only definitive treatment.
