Malignant acrospiroma.

A 76-year-old woman was referred after results of the biopsy of an ulcerated mass of the right long finger suggested poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Excision and skin grafting were done and a diagnosis of malignant acrospiroma was established. These tumors are aggressive and 5-year survival rate may be as low as 30%. A ray amputation was subsequently done and the specimen was without residual tumor. At 14 months follow-up, the patient remains free of disease.

Fibrous dysplasia masquerading as chronic maxillary sinusitis.

Fibrous dysplasia is a rare disease of unknown cause that affects one or multiple bones. In its monostotic form, only one bone is involved. The maxilla is the most commonly affected facial bone. Facial deformity with or without pain is the most common presentation of fibrous dysplasia affecting the craniofacial bones. In certain cases the disorder can present clinically as chronic maxillary sinusitis. The clinical, radiologic, and histologic findings, as well as the differential diagnosis and treatment of this condition are reviewed.

Role of the spleen in the transdiaphragmatic spread of Hodgkin's disease.

Results of detailed staging laparotomy for Hodgkin's disease with supradiaphragmatic presentation in 78 patients showed 28 with subdiaphragmatic involvement. All 28 patients with intra-abdominal disease had splenic involvement. On the basis of findings of this study and published series on staging laparotomy, it is proposed that the spleen is the first site of intra-abdominal disease in this group of patients, and that Hodgkin's disease spreads to the intra-abdominal lymph nodes, liver, and bone marrow from the spleen.
