A patient with hypogammaglobulinemia is presented with a primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma. Diagnosis requires clinical and histologic criteria as well as phenotyping and genotyping. The cause, differential diagnosis, staging criteria, and treatment of the cutaneous B-cell lymphoma are reviewed.
The treatment of scleromyxedema has been largely ineffective. We report improvement of scleromyxedema with myopathy after treatment with isotretinoin, 40 mg twice a day. We review other therapeutic modalities used for this disorder and discuss properties of isotretinoin that may have contributed to the favorable response.
A case of Wegener's granulomatosis is presented. The major features of the disease, with special emphasis on the cutaneous findings, are reviewed.
