[Anti-H1 in dermatological practice].

INTRODUCTION: Histamine is an inflammation mediator that is fundamental for the development of some allergic reactions and is also implied in several common dermatological affections. Anti-H1s are molecules capable of couteracting the effect of histamine on its specific receptors. There are two types: first generation anti-H1 and second generation anti-H1. OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of anti-H1 in the treatment of skin diseases. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A reference search was made using the Pubmed data bank. Critical analysis was made of the articles selected based on their evidence. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Demonstration of the efficacy of anti-H1 was only confirmed in a few dermatitis. Urticaria is the indication of choice. The symptomatic use of anti-H1 may be justified within the context of other dermatitis. The second rather than the first generation molecules should be preferred because of the lesser side effects and improved pharmacokinetic profile.

[Cutaneous metastasis of pleural mesothelioma: two cases].

INTRODUCTION: Cutaneous manifestations of pleural mesothelioma are rare, polymorphic, and occur at various stages of the disease. CASE REPORTS: Case 1. A 60 year-old man, 6 months after the initial diagnosis of a pleural mesothelioma, developed a right latero-thoracic subcutaneous nodule. The lesion resulted from an inoculation of tumoral cells to the wall at the time of the initial thoracoscopy. No specific treatment was proposed. Case 2. A 62 year-old man, with a history of pleural mesothelioma developed an inflammatory layer of the left chest wall. The lesion, laid out like an hemi-belt, was centred by the thoracotomy scar and was associated with retraction phenomena of the thoracic wall. The lesion corresponded to a direct extension of the mesothelioma to the wall. At the same time, the pleural disease was progressing. The patient died a few weeks later. COMMENTS: Cutaneous manifestations usually occur when the diagnosis of primitive pleural cancer has been already established. Distant cutaneous metastases are exceptional and involve with predilection the cephalic extremity. The majority of cutaneous lesions are distributed near the tumoral site and represent either a direct extension of the tumor to the thoracic wall, or a malignant seeding by diffusion of the pleural fluid at the time of the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
