Giant foot schwannoma.

Schwannoma of the foot is rare; only 12 cases have been reported. A schwannoma is a benign neurogenic tumour derived from Schwann cells. The diagnosis is often delayed because the symptoms are mainly those of compression disorders. We describe a 7cm schwannoma of the heel in a 30-year-old man. Ten years earlier a schwannoma was removed from the same site. The recurrent lesion was widely excised and a medial plantar flap was used to repair the heel.

[Imputable cutaneous eruption caused by ticlopidine after implantation of a coronary endoprosthesis: why not continue treatment?].

BACKGROUND: The decision to interrupt a ticlopidine regimen in a patient who develops an adverse effect can be particularly difficult when discontinuing the drug could lead to a high risk situation. CASE REPORT: A 64-year old patient developed a skin rash after taking ticlopidine for coronary artery stenting. Stopping ticlopidine could have led to stent occlusion and no alternative therapy seemed to be suitable. We therefore decided to carry on the treatment under close clinical surveillance. The skin signs rapidly resolved. DISCUSSION: This cases shows that ticlopidine may be continued in patients who develop an adverse skin reaction. The rapid involution of the cutaneous signs in our patient demonstrated that the risk of discontinuing treatment can be greater than that of continuing.

[Perianal basal cell carcinoma. Apropos of 2 cases].

INTRODUCTION: Two cases of perianal basal cell carcinoma were reported. Less than 100 cases have been so far described. OBSERVATIONS: The first case was a pigmented tumour, in the second an erosive erythematous plaque somewhat similar to Paget's disease. COMMENTS: Basal cell carcinoma of the anal margin is about 15-fold less common than squamous cell carcinoma. The tumour is often ulcerated, sometimes infiltrative but metastasis never occurs. Histopathological findings are often close to what is observed in cloacogenic carcinoma. Surgical resection of the lesion is the best treatment but electrontherapy permitted lesion healing in one of our cases.

[Pyoderma gangrenosum].

Pyoderma gangrenosum is a very strange disease usually diagnosed on clinical grounds only and without any characteristic biological disturbance. It must be neither missed nor diagnosed too easily at the expense of vascular or infective ulcerations which are much more frequent. Its physiopathology remains shrouded in mystery since the abnormalities that have been found were extremely varied and sometimes conflicting, and were observed in short series. Thus, pyoderma gangrenosum appears as a syndrome which if often causeless or due to multiple diseases and might well be split into different entities in the forthcoming years. Despite its obscure pathogenesis, most patients can be cured by systemic corticosteroid therapy, sulfones or clofazimine. The main point of interest of that disease is that in almost 50 percent of the cases it is associated with a severe underlying pathology.

Porphyria cutanea tarda after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for chronic myelogenous leukemia.

A case of porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) occurring after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is reported. A 43-year-old male with chronic myelogenous leukemia received an human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical allogeneic transplantation with T-cell depleted marrow. Because of graft rejection, a second transplant was performed 4 months later. A grade II acute graft- vs.-host disease and a cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection were subsequently observed. Two years after the second transplant, cutaneous symptoms of PCT with typical biochemical abnormalities developed. Liver biopsy revealed signs of hepatitis with iron overload. CMV was isolated from liver tissue. The possible roles of underlying disease, BMT, and CMV liver disease are discussed in view of the recently reported cases of PCT in patients with AIDS or hematological disorders.
