Papular acrodermatitis of childhood (Gianotti-Crosti disease).

An 11-year-old boy had lentil-sized lichenoid papules, localized to the limbs and trunk, together with acute, nonicteric, hepatitis B surface antigen-positive hepatitis. The clinical picture and course were typical of Gianotti-Crosti disease. Monoclonal antibodies were used to study the lymphocyte subpopulations and surface antigens in the inflammatory infiltrate in frozen sections of a skin biopsy specimen. The results provide data on the pathogenic mechanism of the papular exanthem.

Acrodermatitis

[Pemphigus herpetiformis].

We report on the typical case of a 71-year-old male patient suffering from herpetiform dermatitis. Histological investigation and immunofluorescence revealed the characteristic features of pemphigus. The symptom disappeared after therapy with corticoids.

Aged

[A case of erythrokeratodermia figurata variabilis successfully treated with tigason].

We report on a young man having suffered from infiltrated, scaly, hyperkeratotic, erythematous skin eruptions since his birth, varying in its course. Histologic examination revealed erythrokeratodermia. Therapy with Etretinate led to rapid regression; on keeping the maintenance dose for a year, we did not observe any recurrences. Light and electron microscopical investigations were carried out both before and 7 weeks after treatment.

Adult

[Acrokeratoelastoidosis].

The differential diagnosis and classification of acrokeratoelastoidosis, a relatively rare disorder, may cause difficulties. The authors therefore report the case of a 25-year-old male patient with characteristic clinical and histological signs of the disorder.
