Erythema elevatum diutinum in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus.

Erythema elevatum diutinum (EED) is a chronic cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis. This rare disease is characterized by red, brownish-purple, and yellow papules, plaques, and nodules distributed symmetrically about the extremities. There have been recent reports of the disease in association with infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We describe the case of a 51-year-old man with HIV who presented with EED, which was successfully treated with dapsone.

[Pyoderma gangrenosum: report of 11 cases].

BACKGROUND: Pyoderma gangrenosum is an ulcerative disease of the skin of unknown cause and generally associated to systemic illnesses. It requires an aggressive systemic therapy and there is little information about its long term evolution. AIM: To report the clinical features of patients with pyoderma gangrenosum. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eleven patients (10 female) aged 27 to 81 years old with pyoderma gangrenosum are reported. All had a pathological study. Patients were followed up for a mean of 60 months. RESULTS: The lesions were located in the lower limbs in 8 patients. Pathological study showed neutrophyl infiltrates in nine patients. Three patients had inflammatory bowel disease [corrected]. During the follow up, the disease recurred in multiple occasions, in six patients, after treatment with steroids or sulphones, and one patient has had permanently active lesions. CONCLUSIONS: Pyoderma gangrenosum appears mostly in the lower limbs and has a high recurrence rate.

Inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus.

Inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal nevus (ILVEN) is an unusual unilateral eruption with onset usually in infancy or childhood, female predominance, frequent left leg involvement, pruritus, refractoriness to therapy, and a psoriasiform histologic pattern. We review this disorder in describing a 5-year-old girl who also had melanodontia, an association not previously observed to our knowledge.

Membranous fat necrosis: a non-specific histological finding.

Two patients presented with nodular lesions on their lower limbs. Histologically, the dermis, in one case, and the panniculus, in the other, displayed pseudocystic lesions delimited by a serpiginous membranous structure showing the staining characteristics of ceroid. One patient had sclerosing panniculitis while the other had a traumatic panniculitis.These cases illustrate that membranous fat necrosis is a non-specific histological finding and that multiple processes are involved in its etiopathogenesis.

Bowen disease associated with porokeratosis of Mibelli.

A 73-year-old woman developed Bowen precancerous dermatosis in an area of porokeratosis of Mibelli on her leg. This is the fourth reported case of Bowen disease arising from porokeratosis of Mibelli. The recent literature indicates that porokeratosis of Mibelli may be due to an abnormal clone of cells, predisposing affected individuals to development of malignant neoplasms over the involved areas.

[Multiple keratoacanthoma centrifugum marginatum].

INTRODUCTION: Keratoacanthoma centrifugum marginatum is a rare variety of commonly isolated keratoacanthoma. The size of the lesions and prolonged evolution often raise therapeutic problems. CASE REPORT: A 63-year-old man presented with multiple keratoacanthoma centrifugum marginatum evolving for 6 months and predominating on the lower limbs. Because of the multiplicity and size of the lesions, the patient was treated at acitretine at the dose of 1 mg/kg/day for five months, leading to the regression of all the lesions. DISCUSSION: Keratoacanthoma centrifugum marginatum has rarely been reported in the literature. Our observation remains exceptional in the multiplicity and size of the lesions. The efficacy of retinoids, previously reported in the treatment of solitary giant keratoacanthoma, multiple keratoacanthoma and keratoacanthoma centrifugum marginatum, was demonstrated even in this handicapping form of keratoacanthoma.
