[Angiomatous cutaneous lesions revealing arteriovenous fistulas (author's transl)].

Reports of Bluefarb-Stewart syndrome have been infrequent. Two observations of this condition are described. Both patients are young men who presented with extensive angiomatous lesions of the feet, revealing distal arteriovenous fistulas. Surgical treatment was successful in one patient. Diagnostic criteria are discussed. As to pathogenesis the most likely hypothesis is that the arteriovenous fistulas are congenital. Bluefarb-Stewart syndrome can therefore be classified as one of the angiodysplasias.

[Teutschlaender lipo-calcino-granulomatosis or tumoral calcinosis of Inclan (author's transl)].

The present report describes a typical case of tumoral calcinosis. Differential diagnosis was initially directed towards sarcoma suggested by fibrous connective tissue surrounding cystlike cavities. The course of this disease led to chronic multiple fistulae with secondary infection in spite of two attempts of surgical excision. This case adds further support to the results of earlier reports showing no specific biological abnormalities. The present sutyd indicates otherwise that tumoral calcinosis and lipo-calcino-granulomatosis of Teutschlaender are the same condition. The pathogenesis of this affection remains enigmatic; there is no evidence that the lipidic excess should be the beginning of the process, but this disease must be considered as a distinctive form of calcinosis. The surgical exeresis is the only possible treatment, even if it doesn't prevent recurrence.

[Acquired ulcero-mutilating acropathies in adults. Critical study of 150 personal cases].

The authors review critically a series of cases, followed up by the authors, of acrodynia and trophic ulcers occurring either in alcoholics (119 cases) or in diabetics (28 cases), who were also often alcoholic as well. The symptoms were similar in both groups. However, the poor nutrition was generally more market in the alcoholics. The trophic disorders were very similar, together with the sensory disorders. However, the deep sensitivity was less rarely involved in diabetics. Above all, the study of the rate of conduction of the motor nerve fibers showed axonal involvement in alcoholics and segmental demyelinisation in diabetics. The treatment was mainly dietary, together with proper hygiene and immobilisation of the foot.
