Infundibulocystic basaloid neoplasm.

Infundibulocystic basal cell carcinoma was described in 1987 as a new type of basal cell carcinoma with follicular differentiation. A great controversy followed this description, mainly about the malignant or benign character of this neoplasm and the distinction from other tumors with follicular differentiation. We present two new cases of this neoplasm: the first one had the typical features of this entity, except for the absence of stroma; the second one showed in the deep portion basaloid nodules similar to those of a nodular basal cell carcinoma. We review the criteria adduced to establish the malignant character of this neoplasm and conclude that both the nosology and biological behavior of this neoplasm with follicular differentiation remain to be determined.

Erythema gyratum repens: another case of a rare disorder but no new insight into pathogenesis.

Erythema gyratum repens (EGR) is an uncommon but distinctive dermatosis characterized by marble-like swirls of erythema and a thin covering scale over the trunk, axillae and groins which has been associated with malignancy. Bronchial carcinoma has been the most frequent neoplasm associated. A case of EGR in a 50-year-old man with carcinoma of the lung is reported. The onset of dermatosis preceded the discovery of the neoplasm by 9 months. Oral corticosteroids induced the disappearance of the skin lesions. No recurrence was observed after discontinuation of the treatment. The patient died 1 year after the onset of dermatosis.

[Diagnostic agreement between primary and hospital care in the assessment of basal cell carcinoma].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic agreement between primary and hospital care. METHODS: Cross-sectional study. 491 patients who sought primary care for symptoms of suspected basal cell carcinoma and were referred to a dermatologist. The Kappa index was used to evaluate diagnostic concordance between primary and hospital care. RESULTS: The more frequent site of diagnosis was face (73.9%). The most frequent differential diagnosis in primary care was nevi (5.9%) while that in specialist care was actinic keratoses (2.2%). The diagnostic agreement was very low (kappa = 0.071; 95% IC = 0.0-0.15). CONCLUSIONS: The degree of agreement between primary and specialist care was low.
