We report on a 23-year-old white Cuban suffering from congenital dyskeratosis. In addition to the obligatory triad of poikilodermia, onychodystrophy, and leukoplakia, the patient showed congenital stenosis of the esophagus and extreme seborrhea of the scalp.
A 16-year-old girl initially had an eruption consisting of dark gray, flat, pin-sized, confluent papules with a slight hyperkeratotic surface. The lesions appeared after her summer holidays and were restricted to the tanned skin of sun-exposed areas, mainly the abdomen and back. Clinical and histologic findings were consistent with confluent and reticulated papillomatosis. If a basic disorder of keratinization is the cause of confluent and reticulated papillomatosis, it seems likely that the development of the disease in our patient may be due to an abnormal epidermal response to ultraviolet light.

Two patients with idiopathic generalized livedo reticularis and associated cerebrovascular disease are reported. In one of the cases (case no. 1) skin vascular lesions were present in two members of the family, thus suggesting the existence of a possible predisposition to systemic vascular affection. The need of prevention of the neurological symptoms in patients with generalized livedo reticularis, through the exclusion of the nocive agents which can cause vascular damage is emphasized.
A 62-year-old male subject has developed carcinoma cuniculatum on the sole. The authors consider that the physician should bear in mind the possibility of a diagnostic error when selecting the therapeutic method. They suppose that carcinoma cuniculatum should be referred to verruciform carcinomas.
We report on a 38-year-old male patient suffering from pachydermoperiostosis (Touraine-Solente-Golé Syndrome), who underwent a cosmetic operation without success.

We report on two patients (father and son) suffering from familial Lupus erythematosus chronicus discoides which could be proved clinically, histologically, and immunologically. Investigations on HLA revealed A-11, A-24, and B-35 for the father and A-24, B-13, and C-4 for the son.

A patient with well-defined erythematous lesions with some atrophy on the scalp and face and lichen planus papules on the limbs and sacral region is reported. The histopathological features and the deposits of immunoglobulins in the cutaneous lesions confirm the presence of both diseases. The difficulties of the differential diagnosis are due to the interaction between lupus erythematosus chronicus discoides and lichen planus probably occurring in the same patient.
An information is given about a 40 years old patient with a clinical picture of sclerodermia nodularis. A clinical and a histological diagnosis between sclerodermia nodularis and keloid is made.
Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita was observed in two adult sisters. The condition appeared at birth and did not change much with age. In one sister the condition was accompanied by hypertension, acrocyanosis and ulceration of the big toe. On the basis of a comparison of the symptoms in patients and their relatives, the authors assume that Van Lohuizen syndrome is a dominantly inherited genetic disorder with low penetrance and great intrafamilial variability.
Chronic mucocutaneous candidosis has been described in patients with impaired cell-mediated immunity. We describe a female patient with sarcoidosis who developed a Candida granuloma on her upper lip. Moderate impairment of the cell-mediated immunity was detected. Three months' treatment with ketoconazole was successful, but the lesion recurred at the same place after treatment was stopped.
