[Granular cell tumor of the skin].

Two adult males with cutaneous granular cell myoblastoma, localized on the leg and pubic area, are described. Atypical localizations of Abrikossoff's tumor are reviewed pointing out that the upper trunk is the most frequent of these localizations. Histopathogenesis of that tumour is also considered.

Aged

[The Winer dilated pore].

Dilated pore (Winer) is a not uncommon adnexal benign tumor with follicular differentiation. Clinically the lesion looks like a giant comedo, usually located on the facial area of the elderly. Due to annular elevation of the borders, differential diagnosis needs to be made with basal cell epithelioma and senile sebaceous adenoma. The histology shows a typical infundibular dilatation with subinfundibular atrophy of hair structures. The authors report two typical cases of this badly known but not infrequent lesions.

Adenoma

[Lever's facial granuloma. Study using direct immunofluorescence in 2 cases].

Cases of two 48 and 55 year-old males affected of facial granuloma with eosinophilia are presented. In both cases direct immunofluorescence studies revealed the presence of IgG, IgA and C3 along the basement membrane. A brief comments on clinical and histological appearance, previous immunofluorescence studies, pathogenesis and treatment are made.

Eosinophilic Granuloma

[Complications of endoscopic sclerosis of esophageal varices].

In recent years endoscopic sclerotherapy of esophageal varices has proliferated enormously, but the technique is not free of complications, which can be divided into three large areas, depending on the moment when they appear: complications due to technical errors, early complications and late complications. The authors analyze the complications in 105 patients who had a total of 385 sclerosis sessions. After describing the results and discussing them, it is concluded that the use of adequate material and sufficient technical experience are the best guarantee against the first type of complications, that hemorrhage is the most common early complication and that esophageal stenosis is the most frequent late complication. Finally, the existence of postsclerotherapy pseudo-polyps, which are asymptomatic, can pose a differential diagnosis with benign or malignant tumors of the distal third of the esophagus.

Esophageal Diseases

Primary ovarian pregnancy with intrauterine device in situ.

A case of primary ovarian pregnancy associated with an intrauterine device in a multipara taking thyroglobulin is reported. The clinical signs and symptoms were identical to those of any ectopic pregnancy with tubal rupture and hemoperitoneum. The final diagnosis was based on the histopathological findings. The literature is reviewed and the association between IUD and ovarian pregnancy is discussed.
