Livedo reticularis due to multiple cholesterol emboli.

Three patients with advanced atherosclerotic vascular disease developed multiple cholesterol emboli. The clinical presentation typically includes livedo reticularis of the lower part of the body and purple toes. Small areas of necrosis and ulceration may be present distally, despite palpable pulses. Muscular and abdominal pain, as well as alterations in renal function, may also occur. Cutaneous biopsy reveals characteristic cholesterol clefts within atheromatous debris filling small, deep arterial lumen. Pathophysiologic mechanisms are discussed.

Darkly pigmented lesions in dark-skinned patients.

It is well known that fair-haired, fair-complected individuals have an increased risk of skin malignancies. Current literature, however, gives no aid in evaluating darkly pigmented lesions in the dark-skinned patient. Blacks have an incidence of malignant melanoma from 5 to 18 times less than whites, while Hispanics have a higher incidence than blacks, but 3.5 to 4.5 times less than whites. Basal-cell epitheliomas are more likely to be darkly pigmented in both groups, leading to erroneous diagnosis and treatment as melanomas.
