[Tuberculous lupus].

A 39-year-old patient, veterinary feldsher, suffering for 3 years from tuberculosis luposa with multiple foci of involvement, is described. The process was complicated by lymphostasis and eczema on the left arm.

Adult

[Acne necrotica].

A 50-year-old female patient with typical symptoms of acne necrotica is described. The eruptions involved seborrheic areas on the skin of the forehead, conchae of the auricles, nose and nasolabial folds, and presented as nodules covered with serous crusts, necrotic foci, and small stamp cicatrices. Histologic findings confirm the clinical diagnosis. Combined treatment with presocyl and tetracycline was fairly effective.

Acne Vulgaris

[Further cases of Kimura's disease in the USSR].

The authors review literature on the clinical picture and possible pathogenesis of Kimura's disease, as well as on therapy of the condition. They describe a case of this disease. A woman aged 37 has developed this condition with typical clinical and histological signs.

[The therapeutic possibilities in lichen ruber pilaris].

The results of therapy of 43 patients with lichen ruber pilaris are analyzed. Different treatment modalities were employed: PUVA therapy, Re-PUVA therapy, retinoids, PUVA therapy with methotrexate, etc. Re-PUVA therapy was found the most effective method of treatment. Retinoid therapy ranks second in efficacy, PUVA therapy third, etc.

[Mibelli's porokeratosis].

A 44-year-old patient suffering from porokeratosis of Mibelli for 27 years is described. The eruptions have involved the skin of the buttocks and the upper and lower limb flexor surface. The clinical picture of the disease may be regarded as the classical plaque form. The clinical diagnosis has been confirmed by a characteristic histologic picture with invagination of the corium mass into the epidermis (corniculate plates). Electron microscopy has shown a number of shifts in the epidermis sites adjacent to the corniculate plate and above it. The proliferative activity of the epidermis was enhanced but the keratinization processes round the corniculate plate was unchanged.

Adult

[The successful treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis with an argon laser].

A patient suffering from skin leishmaniasis is described. Clinical diagnosis was confirmed by histologic findings and isolation of Leishmania tropica. Since antibiotic therapy was ineffective, the patient was exposed to argon laser for the coagulation of nodular elements. Six sessions of laser therapy under local anesthesia with intervals of 4-5 days were carried out, this resulting in complete clinical cure.

[Electron microscopic study of Darier's follicular dyskeratosis].

Ultrastructure of the skin biopsy specimens of 10 patients with Darier's keratosis follicularis (DKF), 6 of them with the vesicular form of the dermatosis, has been examined by electron microscopy. The study has revealed dyskeratosis with tonofilament homogenization and well-developed keratohyalin granules, round bodies and granules, and acantholysis less manifest than in Hailey-Hailey's chronic benign familial pemphigus. Ultrastructural features of the skin in vesicular DKF present as acantholysis and dyskeratosis more manifest than in typical DKF. Similarity of the morphologic signs of the typical and vesicular DKF permit considering the vesicular form of this keratosis as one of DKF variants.
