[Histoid variety of lepromatous leprosy].

Three cases of the so-called "histoid variety" of lepromatous leprosy are reported. This variety has definite clinical features, associated with characteristic histological and bacteriological findings. Some of the features presented by our patients are similar to those described originally by Wade, especially the resistance to treatment. Considering the discrepancies existing among the authors that studied the subject, our opinion is that further studies should be done in order to elucidate the controverted points.

[Sclerodermoid porphyria cutanea tarda associated with cataract].

Two cases of Porphyria cutanea tarda with sclerodermoid changes associated with cataracta are studied. Far from being considered as an authentic scleroderma, the sclerodermoid aspect, very common in patients with Porphyria cutanea tarda, seems to represent one among the many residual alterations of the precocious cutaneous senescence, peculiar to these individuals hypersensitive to luminic radiations. The first patient had familial cases of cataracta. The second had no familial occurrence of it. The association of cataracta and Porphyria cutanea tarda, for the first time mentioned in the literature, would be one complication to be added to this very polymorphous syndrome.

[Toxic hepato-cutaneous porphyria (occupational disease)].

Two cases of cutaneous hepatic porphyria of toxin origin were identified within a small period of time. Both patients are farmers and recently handled very intensively, without any precaution, some pesticides containing organo-phosphorated substances. Due to its toxic character the disease is similar with the so called Turkish porphyria. It is to be remarked: 1. The professional nature of the disease. 2. The up to now unreported reference of the induction of cutaneous porphyria by phosphorated agents.
