[Mycobacterium marinum infection. Case report and review of the literature].

Atypical mycobacterial infections are increasingly important in immunosuppressed patients as well as in healthy hosts. The atypical mycobacterium that most commonly affects the skin is Mycobacterium marinum. The infection should be suspected upon the presence of ulcers, nodules or chronic plaques and a history of contact with fresh or salt water. Optimal therapy is yet to be established. We report a case of Mycobacterium marinum infection in a patient receiving immunosuppressive therapy that responded favourably to treatment with doxicycline. We review the different antibiotic regimens prescribed in the past years for the treatment of Mycobacterium marinum infection.

Lupus erythematosus profundus: case reports.

Lupus erythematosus profundus is a rare manifestation of lupus. We conducted a study to observe the epidemiologic and clinical aspects of lupus erythematosus profundus, its development into other types of lupus or systemic disease, and its response to treatment. Six patients were followed for variable periods. We conclude that lupus erythematosus profundus is a benign form of lupus, distinguishable by systemic manifestations, clinical evolution and resolution, and heterogeneity in clinical manifestations. A skin biopsy is necessary to make an accurate diagnosis.

Malignant melanoma with zosteriform metastases.

Melanoma is a tumor that has a high tendency to metastasize to the skin. Zosteriform metastases are a rare form of metastasizing melanoma. We describe a 79-year-old man with melanoma presenting with a dermatomal distribution and no visceral metastases.

Cutaneous lymphangiectases after therapy for carcinoma of the cervix--a case with unusual clinical and histological features.

Secondary lymphangioma (lymphangiectasis) has been reported as a consequence of lymphatic damage. No specific histological criteria can be used to differentiate primary lymphangioma circumscriptum from lymphangiectasis. We describe a woman who developed lymphangiectases on both non-lymphoedematous upper thighs after hysterectomy and radiation therapy for carcinoma of the cervix. This case differs from the secondary lymphangiomas reported previously in that the vascular channels appeared in newly formed adventitial dermis without histological changes in the epidermis.

Carcinoma, Squamous Cell↗

Self-inflicted tongue ulcer: an unusual form of factitious disorder.

Factitious disorders in the buccal cavity are infrequent. A 9-year-old boy with a 5-year history of an artefact ulcer of the tongue is described. Psychiatric evaluation revealed an altered personality structure with a background of psychotic traits. Complete remission was observed with psychiatric management.
