Linear lichen planus and hepatitis C.

A 23-year-old man with hepatitis C was observed with brownish dome-shaped papules in a linear pattern on the chest. The papules were determined clinically and pathologically to be linear lichen planus. These lesions appeared during an interferon-alpha therapy for his hepatitis and resolved after topical treatment with tacrolimus ointment. Linear lichen planus and hepatitis C have been reported only twice previously. The association between these disorders and the potential role of interferon therapy are discussed.

[Cutaneous necrosis due to interferon alpha in a patient with melanoma].

We present the case of a 55-year-old male with melanoma in the right retroauricular region who had cutaneous necrosis only in one of the injection sites after adjuvant treatment with interferon (IFN alpha 2b) according to the Kirkwood proposed regime. Appearance of cutaneous necrosis is a rare condition that has been described in patients treated with different types of IFN.

Amputation neuromas after neck surgery.

Traumatic or amputation neuromas are benign tumours formed by a proliferation of Schwann cells, axons and connective tissue elements. They are secondary to the partial or total section of a nerve pathway due to an accidental or surgical trauma. They can form at any site and affect any type of nerve. The presence of amputation neuromas is very frequent in major surgery but rare in simple excisions of skin tumours. We report two cases with neuroma localized in the neck, one after lymph node dissection for melanoma metastasis and the other after excision of a cutaneous melanoma with 3-cm margin on lateral neck. In both cases, the presence of the neuroma mandated a surgical excision to rule out a possible recurrence of melanoma.
