A case of pseudoepitheliomatous, keratotic, and micaceous balanitis in a 69-year-old white man is presented. This report supports the notion that this condition is a localized form of verrucous carcinoma which tends to be resistant to treatment and to recur locally. Treatment with topical fluorouracil cream was partially effective but follow-up studies were not available because the patient died of lung cancer. This appears to be only the third reported case of this condition in the English literature.

Sézary's syndrome: report of a case showing peripheral neuropathy and bone marrow fibrosis.

A case of Sézary's syndrome occurred in a 45-year-old man. The unusual noteworthy features in this case are dermal sclerosis, peripheral neuropathy, and bone marrow fibrosis. In two other cases, reviewed here, there was a tendency to fibrosis; therefore, we propose that this process may be an integral part of Sézary's syndrome.
