[Multiple thoraco-abdominal paraffinomas (author's transl)].

We report the case of a man aged 39 who received several injections of mineral oil in his pectoral muscles 20 years ago. Supposedly, the purpose of the injections was to improve the aesthetic appearance as well as the strength of the muscles. The final result was the development of impressive symmetrical paraffinomas. A short review of the recent literature on paraffinomas is presented.

Occupational allergic contact dermatitis to isophorone diamine (IPD) used as an epoxy resin hardener.

Three patients employed in the manufacture of plastic tennis rackets developed allergic contact dermatitis to isophorone diamine (IPD), an epoxy resin hardener, and concomitantly to epoxy resin. Patch tests were positive to IPD at 1, 2 and 5% in olive oil and to IPD at 1, 2 and 5% in ethanol. Investigations were conducted in control subjects to confirm the allergic nature of reactions. A review of the literature about IPD and related compounds is presented.
