A case of mal de Meleda originating in Chile is reported. The patient had no history of consanguinity and cases could not be detected in four generations of the patient's family. The palmoplantar keratoderma was progrediens and transgrediens, with distant hyperkeratotic plaques of the knees and elbows. The nails, hair, and teeth were normal.
We report the case of an ulcerated malignant cutaneous mixed tumor occurring on the nose of a 75-year-old woman. Malignant cutaneous mixed tumor (CMT) is a rare neoplasm. Of the 14 previously reported cases, 10 occurred on the extremities, three on the trunk, and one on the scalp. This contrasts with the benign CMT which is found mainly on the head and neck region, the nose being the most commonly affected site. Although eight of the cases of malignant CMT recurred and 10 metastasized, the primary lesion never ulcerated.
Factitious disorders in the buccal cavity are infrequent. A 9-year-old boy with a 5-year history of an artefact ulcer of the tongue is described. Psychiatric evaluation revealed an altered personality structure with a background of psychotic traits. Complete remission was observed with psychiatric management.
