Wilms' tumor with transient dermolysis of the newborn: recurrence of skin lesions during chemotherapy.

Transient bullous dermolysis of the newborn consists of congenital skin defects and a tendency for blistering of the skin and mucous membranes during the neonatal period. A case of transient bullous dermolysis of the newborn associated with Wilms' tumor is reported. Transient bullous dermolysis of the newborn does not represent an obstacle to administering appropriate chemotherapy when simple precautions are taken.

Palmoplantar keratoderma with sclerodactyly (Huriez syndrome).

A syndrome characterized by palmoplantar keratoderma, sclerodactyly, and skin cancer was first described in two families by Huriez et al. The pattern of inheritance was compatible with that of an autosomal dominant disorder. We report a patient with this condition and review the literature.

Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (Ofuji's disease) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The authors report the third case of eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (EPF) associated with a non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The dermatosis occurred after an autologous bone marrow transplantation performed as treatment for the lymphoproliferative disorder. Although EPF was initially described as an idiopathic disease, the association of some cases with immunologic alterations or diseases, such as immunodeficiencies, suggests a possible immunopathologic event in the pathogenesis of EPF.

Focal facial dermal dysplasia: two familial cases.

Focal facial dermal dysplasia (or congenital ectodermal dysplasia of the face) is an inherited condition characterized by congenital scarlike lesions on the temples and a wide spectrum of associated facial abnormalities. We report the case of a woman and her son with this disorder. An autosomal dominant inheritance with variable penetrance and expressivity may explain the different clinical expressions of focal facial dermal dysplasia.

Familial hypomelanosis of Ito.

Two siblings presented the typical skin changes of hypomelanosis of Ito (HI) associated with mental and cerebellar signs. Their mother showed only the skin changes of HI but no neurological disturbances. HI is a hereditary disorder, in which familiarity may go unnoticed because of the different expressions of neural and cutaneous features.

Loose anagen hair in a child with Noonan's syndrome.

We report on a 4 1/2-year-old girl affected by loose anagen hair and Noonan's syndrome. The girl had short, blond, easily pluckable hair that had never been cut. The trichogram showed an absolute prevalence of abnormally shaped anagen bulbs lacking inner and outer root sheaths. A scalp biopsy evidenced a marked cleft formation between fragmented inner root sheaths and irregularly shaped hair shafts.

Atopic background of a recurrent papular eruption of childhood (frictional lichenoid eruption).

Thirty-five children affected by a recurrent summer and spring papular eruption on the elbows, knees, and backs of the hands were examined retrospectively in order to evaluate the frequency of atopy. It was found that 45.7% were suffering from atopic diseases (atopic eczema, allergic rhinitis, asthma). This high proportion confirms the fact that an underlying atopy may predispose to the occurrence of this dermatosis.

Papular and papulovesicular acrolocated eruptions and viral infections.

Twenty-six children with a symmetric papular or papulovesicular acrolocated eruption were studied to evaluate a possible link with viral infection. A history of a recent immunization was present in four patients, two of whom had a polio vaccine virus isolated from their stool samples. There was serologic evidence of a recent Epstein-Barr virus infection in one patient, adenovirus infection in another, a concurrent Epstein-Barr virus and adenovirus infection in a third, and cytomegalovirus infection in a fourth. Viral cultures were positive in two patients for adenovirus and in two others for rotavirus. Although some of the virologic findings could have been coincidental, this study confirms that multiple viral infections can be related to most papular and papulovesicular acrolocated eruptions of childhood. Virologic investigations in the earlier phases of the eruption are recommended to identify the etiologic factors of these lesions.

[Iso and Kikuchi syndrome. Description of a case].

A 2 1/2-year old Italian boy affected by Iso and Kikuchi syndrome is reported. The clinical examination showed hemi-onychogryphosis of both index fingers. Roentgenograms of the affected fingers showed bifurcation of the distal phalanges in the lateral view.

[The Lupus Band Test and serology of lupus erythematosus. Our experience].

The Authors studied, from 1986 to 1988, 84 patients (24 men and 60 women, in an age group that went from 13 to 75 years, with an average of 42 years) in whom DLE was diagnosed. In these patients, a direct immunofluorescent assay was carried out on the affected skin, on the non-affected photoexposed skin, and on the non-affected non-photoexposed skin: furthermore, the serum of these patients was tested for the presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA), antibodies to extractable nuclear antigens (anti-ENA), and antibodies to double-stranded DNA (anti-DNA). In the study, a significant correlation between the presence of ANA and entity of cutaneous involvement at the Lupus Band Test was found. Furthermore, it was noticed that anti-ENA and/or anti-nDNA tend to be present in association to a positive Lupus Band Test in all 3 biopsied tissues.
