Pemphigus vegetans of Hallopeau: immunofluorescent studies.

Immunofluorescent techniques were used in the study of tissue from a patient with pemphigus vegetans of Hallopeau. The findings were typical of pemphigus, confirming the propriety of classifying this entity as a benign variant of pemphigus, rather than a disease of purely microbial etiology. The question is raised whether other types of vegetating pyodermas actually are separate diseases or represent a spectrum of pemphigus with the clinical appearance dependent on the patient's immunity to his disease. Immunofluorescent studies are proposed as a basis for classification.

Dermal duct tumor.

A dermal duct tumor occurred on the left leg of a 66-year-old man. The lesion first occurred as a solitary lobulated tumor of approximately 20 years' duration. This apparently brings the total number of recorded cases to 12. It is believed to be a benign tumor of the intradermal portion of the eccrine sweat duct and is distinctive and diagnostic histologically. The spectrum of benign tumors of the eccrine sweat duct epithelium includes hidroacanthoma simplex or intraepidermal eccrine poroma, eccrine poroma, and dermal duct tumor.
