Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn.

Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn (SFN) is an uncommon disease that affects newborns who have suffered from tissue hypoxia during or following delivery. This disease appears during the first weeks of life. It consists of indurate, erythematous or purple-erythematous nodules and plaques in the skin. Histology of a biopsy specimen shows granulomatous necrosis in the subcutis with radial crystals in lipocytes and giant cells. Spontaneous resolution in a few weeks is usual, but the mobilization of calcium from the necrosed subcutis together with the action of some hormones may cause hypercalcemia and certain serious complications. A newborn female child developed SFN after dystocic delivery causing cerebral frontal lobe hemorrhage. The skin nodules resolved spontaneously in a few weeks and no complications were observed 1 year later.

Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome with pili canaliculi.

A 20-year-old woman and her 12-year-old brother had hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, cleft lip and palate, midfacial hypoplasia with narrow nose from the nasal bridge to the tip, narrow dysplastic nails, and conical teeth and hypodontia, and hypospadias and hypoplastic uvula in the boy. The woman had major underdevelopment of intellectual capacity. The most important hair anomalies in both siblings were sparse eyebrows, pili torti, and pili canaliculi. Some of the pili canaliculi had two canals (pili bicanaliculi), and the cross section for scanning electron microscopy had a quadrangular aspect. This is the seventh family reported with Rapp-Hodgkin ectodermal dysplasia.

[Pseudoatrophic pityriasis versicolor].

The pseudoatrophic pityriasis versicolor is an atypical form of this disease with cutaneous atrophy provoked by the prolonged application of topical corticosteroids. The term "pseudoatrophic" is indicative of its reversible character.

[Wells syndrome (3 cases)].

This report describes three cases of eosinophilic cellulitis (Wells' syndrome) observed during six years. In the author's opinion this condition is not frequent, but neither exceptional. A revision of clinico-pathological, etiopathogenic and therapeutics aspects is carried out.

[Connective tissue nevus in disseminated tumors (of Graciansky and Leclercq)].

We describe three cases of Connective tissue nevi in disseminated tumors, similar to those referred by de Graciansky and Leclercq . Although clinically similar, their different dermopathological pictures stand out, as does the fact that one showed osteopoikilid . We review the clinical and dermopathological features, nosology, associations, differential diagnosis and therapeutic procedures.
