Two cases of recurring digital fibrous tumor of childhood are reported. Both patients were infants who had lesions on the toes or fingers. In one case the lesions recurred after surgical excision and in the other the lesions started to resolve without therapy. The histologic sections of tissue showed the intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies typical of this condition.
2 cases are reported with unusual manifestations of porokeratosis of Mibelli. In 1 case multiple atrophic facial lesions resembled plaques of chronic discoid lupus erythematosus. The second case exhibited extensive cutaneous involvement in the form of hyperkeratotic lesions in linear configuration.
Four children with cutis laxa (generalized elastolysis) are reported. The first three cases were siblings from a Canadian Indian family and the fourth case was the only affected child in an American Black family. Loose and sagging skin folded over the face, neck and trunk, gave a premature senile appearance. Post-mortem examination was performed on the first three cases. The most common and serious visceral involvement was development of pulmonary emphysema. This was present in two autopsied cases and was demonstrated by chest X-ray in the fourth case. Other abnormalities included large inguinal and perineal hernia, rectal diverticulum and multiple diverticulae of the urinary bladder.
A child with Winchester syndrome, studied in Iran, is the sixth reported case in the literature. The cutaneous manifestations of this syndrome include leathery thickening of the skin, hyperpigmentation and hypertrichosis. The lips and gingiva are hypertrophic. There are also arthritic changes involving the small joints.
