Ashy dermatosis, or "Tyndall-effect" dermatosis.

A 59-year-old man with ashy dermatosis is presented; the classification and diagnosis of this disease is discussed. Ashy dermatosis presents two main clinical aspects: the ashy-color maculae, and the involvement mainly in darker-skinned patients often from Latin America and Asia. The blue-grey color can be explained by the Tyndall effect because of the melanin found in the dermis. Bluish dermal melanocytoses are also more common in these same racial and ethnic groups. Perhaps the particular size and distribution of melanosomes in these groups predisposes them to development of ashy dermatosis.

Value of cytological imprints in the diagnosis of atypical lipomatous tumor.

The diagnosis of atypical lipomatous tumor by biopsy, requires careful examination of several slides, in order to look for atypical cells. We suggest that imprints of lipomatous tumors may play a complementary role in such a search, and report a case of a 74-yr-old woman with an atypical lipomatous tumor of the left thigh, in which imprints helped to make the diagnosis..

Thomas Hodgkin's journey through Spain in 1863 and 1864.

In 1863 and 1864, Thomas Hodgkin travelled to Morocco, accompanying his close friend Sir Moses Montefiore, who stopped in Madrid on the way there and back to attend an audience with the Queen of Spain. Thomas Hodgkin's impressions of Spain were recounted in his book Narrative of a Journey to Morocco. The book reveals new aspects of Hodgkin's personality as well as his capacity for observation. It also describes Spain in the second half of the nineteenth century. Thus Thomas Hodgkin was a witness to one of the most vivid periods of the history of the country. The paper considers both aspects of Hodgkin's commentaries on Spain.
