[Aneurysm of superficial temporal artery in angiolymphoid hyperplasia lesions].

INTRODUCTION: Subcutaneous angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is a disease which usually affects small vessels of neck and facial area. CASE REPORT: A 44 year-old with cutaneous lesions corresponding to angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is reported. The lesions were located near the temporal region. This case was particular because of the development of an anevrism of the superficial temporal artery. DISCUSSION: Involvement of the superficial temporal artery by angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia has been reported in only one case which simulated a Horton disease because of an occlusion of the temporal artery. The development of an anevrism of this artery in a patient with angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is a very unusual presentation of the disease which has not been previously reported.

Subcutaneous changes in dermatomyositis.

We report the case of a 42-year-old woman with concomitant panniculitis and dermatomyositis. Painful, indurated lesions on the buttocks, thighs, arms, abdomen and breasts were associated with proximal muscle weakness. Skin biopsy revealed lobular panniculitis, and vacuolar degeneration of epidermal basal cells. Direct immunofluorescence was negative. Serum muscle enzyme (creatinine-phosphokinase) levels were elevated, and electromyography demonstrated a myositic process. Muscle biopsy showed an inflammatory myositis. These results were consistent with dermatomyositis associated with panniculitis. Only five cases of this association have been reported previously. The relationship between these two conditions is discussed.
