[Acne-like eruption induced by pseudo-xanthoma elasticum (author's transl)].

Pseudoxanthoma elasticum can induce acne-like eruption. The lesions are located on the latero-cervical parts and consist of comedones, cysts and inflammatory nodules. Histologically, there are no transepithelial eliminations or follicultitis, but a very important granulomatosus tissue with epithelioid cells and a giganto-cellular reaction with elastotic fibres phagocytosis. These findings are different from the cases with association of P.X.E. and elastosis perforans, but they are closely related to it. We think that these features are of a very great interest for the dermatological practice.

[Dermatomyositis with spinulosis (Wong type dermatomyositis). Histologic study. Attempt at pathogenic interpretation].

The authors present a case of dermatomyositis with generalised spinulosis of pilose pityriasis rubra (lichen ruber acuminatus) type, giving a highly characteristic appearance of linear verruciform spinulosis of the back of the hands. They describe the histological lesions and feel that this spinulosis is probably due to marked degenerative smooth muscle myositis of the erector pili muscles. They recall the earlier cases of O'Leary and Christianson and above all those of Wong. The case reported is the first in a child.
