[Proliferative myositis].

We report on a 42-year-old woman showing a rapidly growing tumor on her left flank; it was removed by surgery. Histological examination revealed the typical picture of proliferative myositis. Since the clinical symptoms of this disease are nonspecific, the diagnosis always depends on histological evidence. Despite its rapid growth and its cellular pleomorphism, proliferative myositis is a reactive process and has to be differentiated histologically from sarcoma of the soft tissue.

[Degenerative changes in schwannoma (neurilemmoma)].

We report on a 51-year-old male patient showing a slowly growing, pedunculated, hairless tumor on the back of his head. The tumor grew up to the size of 4.2 cm in diameter, before it was removed by surgery. Histological examination revealed the typical picture of an ancient schwannoma (degenerated neurilemmoma). In spite of its highly atypical nuclei, the biological behavior of ancient schwannoma is benign, and it must be differentiated from malignant tumors of the nerve sheath.

[Eccrine porocarcinoma].

[Verrucous malignant melanoma (spontaneous regression and simultaneous development of a secondary tumor)].

A 59 years old woman who was admitted in our hospital had developed two primary melanomas at the lower leg during an interval of 15 years. The histologic diagnosis was a verrucous lentino maligna melanoma for both tumors. The differentiation from superficial spreading melanoma may be difficult. Interestingly enough, in our patient the formation of the new primary melanoma occurred simultaneously with the regression of the older one. In consequence, it seems that regression of a melanoma may not prevent from progression of the disease or from formation of a new primary melanoma.
