[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.
