[Merkel cell carcinoma in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia].

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an infrequent neuroendocrine tumor of the skin with a high potential for local recurrence, lymphatic dissemination and distant dissemination. We present a case of MCC in a male patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The immunosuppression induced by the leukemia or by the chemotherapy could play a pathogenic role in the association of these diseases. Positron emission tomography (PET) was a useful staging technique in this patient, and made the differential diagnosis of the lymph node involvement from MMC and CLL possible.

[Alopecia mucinosa].

Epithelial mucinosis (follicular mucinosis) is a reactive histological pattern characterized by the accumulation of mucin in the infundibular, follicular, and sebaceous epithelium, that may occur in multiple skin conditions and cannot be considered a specific disease. Alopecia mucinosa is a clinicopathological entity with distinctive skin lesions, mucin deposits in the hair follicles and periadnexal lymphoid infiltrates. Three types of mucinous alopecia have been described: idiopathic, persistent or benign chronic, and associated to lymphoma. For some authors, these types of mucinous alopecia are not independent diseases, but rather represent variants of mycosis fungoides with epithelial mucinosis.

[Cutaneous leishmaniasis].

Leishmaniases are diseases caused by infection by protozoa of the genus Leishmania. Cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania infantum is frequent in Spain, especially in certain geographic areas. Diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis is difficult because of the varied symptoms and because making cultures of this parasite is complicated. There are also different therapeutic, medical and surgical options, none of which is fully satisfactory. We review the most significant agents of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Spain.
