Keratosis lichenoides chronica: report of a case developing after erythroderma.

A 66-year-old male presented with keratosis lichenoides chronica after a presumed drug-induced erythroderma. After resolution of the erythroderma, slightly scaly erythematous and violaceous papules in a reticular arrangement over the trunk and limbs developed in association with hoarseness, palmoplantar keratoderma, onycholysis and subungual keratosis. Histology from a lichenoid lesion showed pseudo-epitheliomatous hyperplasia, hyperorthokeratosis, parakeratosis, dyskeratosis, neutrophil exocytosis and focal vacuolar degeneration of the basal layer of the epidermis. There was a band-like chronic inflammatory infiltrate in the upper dermis. The skin improved with prednisone 40 mg/day for 15 days, leaving atrophic hypopigmented scars. A diagnosis of keratosis lichenoides chronica was made.

[Lichen striatus. Epidemiologic study].

The authors are showing a retrospective study of 53 cases of lichen striatus concerning sex, colour, age, place of lesions, associated diseases and period of the year of occurrence of the dermatosis. There was a larger number of cases in females of white race and age-between 2 and 5 years old. A greater occurrence was observed in the months of September and March which correspond to spring and summer. Adding the fact that there have been more cases in children, at times in brothers and the trend to spontaneous involution, the authors suggest the possibility of a virus as etiology to this entity.

[Malignant melanoma (review of 68 cases)].

A clinica pathologic revision was performed about 68 patients with malignant melanoma of the Hospital dos Servidores Publicos do Estado de São Paulo. The authors had checked the data concerning to color, age and sex of the patients, localisation, clinical aspect of the lesions and clinical evolution of the cases. They made comments on the histopathology related to Clark's levels, the depth of tumors (Breslow), solar elastosis and inflammatory infiltrate, in relation with the clinical evolution of the cases.

[Erythema cinitiensis perstans].

The authors report a case of Erythema Cinitiensis Perstans, in a thirty-one years old white man. This dermatosis, reported in the literature also es Ashy Dermatitis and Erythema Dyschromicum Perstans, is here in Brazil exceptional. Clinically this dermatosis is characterized by the presence of gray patches in a sometimes surrounded by an erythematous active border. The lesions may occur on any area of the integument, sparing the hair scalp, palms, soles and nails. The therapy has been ineffective in all the cases, but one reported by Stevenson and Miura and in our case, where the patients have improved after Dithiazanine iodide treatment due to intestinal parasitoses by the Tricocephalus trichiurus.

[Primary cutaneous malignant melanoma: retrospective studyfrom 1963 to 1997 at Hospital do Servidor Público Estadual de São Paulo].

OBJECTIVES: A retrospective study on the Primary Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma in the Hospital do Servidor Público Estadual de São Paulo (HSPE-SP) analyzing its distribution according to age, sex, race and cutaneous site. METHODOLOGY: We studied 222 patients with Primary Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma as diagnosed at Hospital do Servidor Público Estadual de São Paulo, Brazil between the period from 1963 to 1997. A retrospective study was performed. Data were expressed as inance of caucasians (98.19%) over afro-americans (1.81) and of the female sex (69.36%) over the male sex (30.63%) was found. The predominant age on the occasion of the diagnosis was between 50 and 60 years for the women (25.32%) and between 60 and 69 years for the men (22.52%). The most frequent site of the cancer in men was the back region (29.41%) and in the lower members in the women (38.31%). The most frequent level of the tumor invasion (Clark) was IV (39.77%), and the average of tumor thickeness (Breslow) was < 0.75 mm (28.4%). A 5 years survival was observed in 73.3% of the patients. CONCLUSIONS: At our Hospital the incidence of Primary Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma has shown an increase in recent years; these results are compatible with the most recent international surveys.

[Urticaria and systemic diseases].

Chronic urticaria and concurrent angioedema are disappointing problems for both physicians and patients. The disease can result from multiple causes and probably does not have a single etiology. Several factors have been identified that appear to be important in the pathogenesis of individual cases, some drugs, food additives, physical factors and internal diseases. In some cases no pathogenesis are identified and those cases are classified as idiopathic. In recent years several articles has emphasized autoimmunity and infections due to Helicobacter pylori. Our article reviewed the etiology of chronic urticaria at current concepts.
