Sarcoid granuloma on black tattoo.

We report the case of a patient with a black and turquoise tattoo who developed sarcoid granulomas on the areas of black pigment. Patch tests showed a positive reaction to nickel, cobalt, and cadmium; spectrophotometric analysis of the black pigment revealed the presence of nickel and cobalt among other metals. Although the pathogenesis of sarcoid granulomas is unknown, it seems that a delayed type hypersensitivity reaction is one of the mechanisms involved.

Presence of perineuritis in a case of papular purpuric gloves and socks syndrome associated with mononeuritis multiplex attributable to B19 parvovirus.

A previously healthy 16-year-old boy developed papular purpuric gloves and socks syndrome concomitant with mononeuritis multiplex attributable to acute infection with parvovirus B19. A cutaneous biopsy showed lymphocytic lichenoid vasculitis and perineuritis. We discuss the relevance of these pathologic findings, and we suggest a correlation with the patient's neurologic condition. This case illustrates the difficulties in differentiating dysesthesia accompanying cutaneous manifestations of exanthem from neurologic disease on the basis of the clinical appearance alone.

[Cutaneous metastases of rectal adenocarcinoma in a herpetiform distribution].

We present the case of a 62-year-old male with cutaneous metastases of a rectal adenocarcinoma located on the groin and left thigh. Due to their clinical similarity, the lesions were initially diagnosed and treated as herpes zoster. Cutaneous metastases have variable clinical presentation patterns. They may mimic benign skin lesions like epidermoid cysts, lipomas, erysipelas or, as in our case, herpes zoster.

Annular atrophic lichen planus.

We describe a new case of annular atrophic lichen planus. Annular atrophic lichen planus is a rare variant of lichen planus that is clinically characterized by violaceous plaques of annular morphology with central atrophy and histopathologic findings of annular and atrophic lichen planus, respectively. There have been 4 cases of this entity reported previously.
