Perilesional linear atrophy and hypopigmentation after intralesional corticosteroid therapy. Report of two cases and review of the literature.

We report on the cases of two patients in whom linear perilesional hypopigmentation and atrophy developed after intralesional injection of corticosteroids for treatment of keloids. Evaluation of our patients and the previously reported cases showed that perilesional linear atrophy or hypopigmentation (or both) is a distinct complication after intralesional or intraarticular administration of corticosteroids and is probably due to lymphogenous spread of the steroid suspension.

Syringoma presenting as milia.

We present two unrelated patients with numerous infraocular milium-like lesions that histologically revealed syringoma with many overlying keratin cysts in the papillary dermis. A Fontana-Masson stain revealed no melanin-containing cells in the keratin cyst walls, suggesting that they originated from eccrine ductal structures. A classification of the clinical variants of syringoma is presented.

Adult Kawasaki syndrome.

Kawasaki syndrome (KS) is an idiopathic, acute, febrile, exanthemous illness that primarily affects infants and children. We describe a 20-year-old black woman who fulfilled the clinical criteria for the diagnosis of KS and excluded other possible causes. In addition, we reviewed data on 21 patients with adult KS reported in the English literature and accepted ten cases as representing this syndrome. The epidemiologic, clinical, laboratory, and pathologic features of the 11 cases representing adult KS are discussed. Although the initial reports of adult KS in the United States may have actually represented toxic shock syndrome, the occurrence of KS in adults should be acknowledged.

Bart's syndrome: microscopic, ultrastructural, and immunofluorescent mapping features.

Bart's syndrome has been clinically described as the association of congenital localized absence of skin (CLAS), epidermolysis bullosa (EB), oral mucosal lesions, and dystrophic nails. Transmission occurs through an autosomal dominant gene with complete penetrance but variable expression. It has been difficult to classify this type of EB because of lack of microscopic and ultrastructural studies on affected family members. This is the first report of microscopic, ultrastructural, and immunofluorescent mapping studies of an affected individual with the complete inherited syndrome initially described by Bart. This study is also the first to document the association of CLAS and dominant dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa by histology, electron microscopy, and immunofluorescent mapping. Our two patients and one other affected family member had diminution or absence of a specific basement membrane antigen as defined by immunofluorescence with a monoclonal antibody (KF-1) in perilesional skin.

Leukemia cutis mimicking stasis dermatitis.

A patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in blast crisis experienced a peculiar painful eruption on his left lower extremity during the preterminal phase of his disease. The lesion was characterized by tender, edematous, purpuric infiltration which resembled stasis dermatitis clinically. Dermatopathologic examination demonstrated leukemia cutis.

Nodular (keloidal) scleroderma.

Two patients with progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) developed keloidal-like nodules within areas of thickened skin. This extremely unusual event is most likely a keloidal response to the early inflammatory component of scleroderma in patients who are either genetically at risk for keloid formation or in areas of the skin that have a high predilection for keloid formation such as the chest.
