A case of inflammatory granuloma annulare occurring on the extremities of a young girl is presented. The lesions became erythematous and edematous concurrently with a self-limited gastrointestinal disorder. Many neutrophils were present in the biopsy specimen, which exhibited the changes of granuloma annulare.
A patient who developed rapidly growing, multicentric, cutaneous tumors clinically resembling pyogenic granuloma is reported. In spite of the fact that the local lesions expanded rapidly and contained cytologically "malignant" cells which appeared to invade dermal vessels, the patient had a benign clinical course. The differential diagnosis of "giant pseudomalignant granuloma" is discussed.
Two hundred cases of impetigo contagiosa were studied bacteriologically. Along with the usual staphylococci and streptococci, gram-positive diplococci were isolated in pure cultures in thirty-seven cases. Ninety-six cases were submitted for sensitivity tests to several antibiotics; the results are discussed.
A bullous type of papular urticaria is seen commonly in Iraq. The eruption can be extensive, simulating some of the more serious bullous skin diseases. This paper describes the condition clinically and histologically.
A 19-year-old Iraqi girl had pseudofolliculitis of the legs. Plucking the hair was the initiating factor, and its discontinuation was followed by great improvement. To our knowledge, this is the first report of this entity at this site.
