An atypical case of penile carcinoma in situ associated with human papillomavirus DNA type 18.

We report an unusual case of penile carcinoma in situ in a heterosexual man. The histologic study showed a severe dysplasia, and the typing of human papillomavirus DNA, performed at the Pasteur Institute, disclosed a type 18, which is usually associated with penile and cervical carcinomas. The identification of an oncogenic human papillomavirus type in the penile lesions, such as type 18 found in this case, should lead to a search for cervical carcinoma in the sexual partner.

Complete remission following recombinant interferon alpha-2a in a patient with diffuse large B cell cutaneous lymphoma.

Recombinant interferon alpha (r IFN alpha) has shown significant antitumor activity in patients with follicular small cleaved cell (low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphomas) and cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. However, IFN alpha seems to be less effective in patients with intermediate or high-grade lymphomas. This case report describes a patient with an initial diagnosis of low grade B-cell lymphoma with histologic conversion to diffuse large B-cell (B1+, Kappa+) cutaneous lymphoma. This tumor proved refractory to chemotherapy but a complete and durable remission was induced with R IFN alpha 2a treatment.

[Menkes' disease (new skin and hair ultrastructural abnormalities) (author's transl)].

The authors report the sixth case of Menkes' kinky hair disease. This boy has been observed for as long as 16 months, and he his still alive at the time of publication. This genetic, X linked disorder of copper metabolism is always fatal in childhood. Diagnosis is evoked when is noted the conjunction of progressive cerebral degeneration, seizures, with pili torti and monilethrix. It can be asserted with the very low copper and cerulo-plasmin blood levels. Recognition of the disease in utero might be possible. New findings in skin' electron microscopy and hair' scanning electron microscopy are reported here. And two RX scanner of the brain have been performed.
