[B-pseudolymphoma: lymphocytoma].

We have revised the concept of pseudolymphoma, some of its classifications and its differences with the malignant lymphoma, which sometimes are only an evolution, not existing other elements of judgement. We publish the summary of ten lymphocytoma cutis cases studied by us, which we believe are the paradigm of the B pseudo-lymphoma due to the clinical and hystological controversy in our patients. One of them shifted to malignant lymphoma after 30 years of evolution as a lymphocytoma. Under the denomination of lymphocytoma we believe should be included a group of not well defined process, of unknown etiology, described in literature under the names of "Spiegler-Fendt Sarcoid", "lymphadenosis benigna cutis", "benign lymphocytic reticulosis" and "lymphocytic infiltration of Jessner" all of them with clinical evidences of papulo-tuberous lesion, covered by a yellowish to brownish red erythematous skin with the appearance of "orange skin" with no ulcers and usually located on the head (nose, forehead and scalp) or in any other part of the skin, looking sometimes, like the malignant lymphoma. Histologically characterized by a dense lymphocytic reaction proliferation; polymorphous with a diffuse or nodular pattern, characteristic in B pseudolymphoma. We should establish the differences between at least two clinical forms: the one of single lesion, of multiple lesions in the same area, called therefore single and multiple regional form, each one with its own characteristics and with certain clinical and hystological relations: single-Nodular and multiple-diffuse. The existence of important adenopathies in the multiple form, its clinics, its long evolution and its developing in malignant lymphoma in one of our cases makes us especially aware of this form and we strongly recommend to keep a lifetime control.

[Bullosis diabeticorum].

Three cases of Bullosis Diabeticorum, entity described by Rocca and Pereyra, are reported by the authors. The review of the published literature after the original article shows the importance of recognizing these symptoms for the diagnosis of an occult diabetes. The most outstanding features of the studied cases were: a) the bullosis traumatica present in the 3 observations; b) the finding of an unknown diabetes in two of the three patients; c) the association with stellate pseudoscars. The histopathologic findings were similar in all three patients.

[Pemphigus with eosinophilic spongiosis].

A bibliographic review of a new subject-pemphigus with eosinophilic spongiosis accomplished: Three clinical courses are recognized: a) pemphigus in its initial phase, b) pemphigus markedly seborrheic, which presents during its evolution, some morphologic anomalies, c) pemphigus that appear like an authentic Duhring in its initial phase and during part of its evolution. On studying the histopathology three aspects are observed; 1) pure eosinophilic spongiosis with two modalites: diffuse or vesiculate; 2) mixed eosinophilic spongiosis and, 3) alternate eosinophilic spongiosis. The review report the study of this new observation and discusses the nosological situation as well as its pausible causation.

[Angiokeratoma neviformis circumscriptus].

A review of the different types of angiokeratoma in particular of the angiokeratoma neviformis circunscritus is made by the authors. After differential diagnosis and pathogeny of this lesion the authors suggest that the best is excision surgical followed by grafting. Description of a case.

[True myelinic neuroma. Its associations (neurocrestopathies)].

A case of true mielinic neuroma is described. An exhaustive review of the literature on this subject, basically of the Bolande article is carried out by the authors. The mielinic neuromata are a partial aspect of the complexe neuro-crestopathic syndromes associating the cutaneous lesions to: 1) Medullary tyroid carcinoma, 2) pheocromocytoma and 3) neurofibromatous lesions. The observation related by the authors shows: 1) Ehlers-Danlos disease (not described previously), 2) skeletal abnormalities, 3) medullary tyroid carcinoma and 4) pheochromocytoma symptoms.
