Eruptive paraneoplastic keloids.

We present a 66-year-old woman who developed eruptive keloids in association with endometrial carcinoma in the absence of trauma, surgery, inflammation, or other known preludes to keloid formation. Keloid formation and endometrial carcinoma are both associated with similar cytokine abnormalities and as such, we hypothesize that this is a previously unreported paraneoplastic phenomenon.

Aneurysms of the digital arteries: a case report and literature review.

Aneurysms of the digital vessels are rare. An aneurysm of the radial digital artery of the index finger in a child is reported to illustrate the clinical presentation and value of magnetic resonance arteriography in diagnosis. Literature review reveals that only 18 cases have been reported. These cases are analyzed in terms of digit involvement, vessel affected, mechanism of injury, and treatment.
