[A case of Carney syndrome].

The Carney complex is an autosomal dominant syndrome characterised by multiple neoplasies, including myxomas at various sites (cardiac, cutaneous, mammary), spotty pigmentation, endocrine overactivity (Cushing's syndrome, acromegalia), testicular tumours and schwannomas. This report describes the case of a 43-year-old woman with an acute inferior myocardial infarction, probably due to coronary embolization from a large left atrial myxoma and who presented this association. A brief review of the Carney complex is provided after discussion of this rare case that required an screening of family members.

Cutaneous hyalohyphomycosis caused by Paecilomyces lilacinus in an immunocompetent host successfully treated with itraconazole: case report and review.

Paecilomyces lilacinus is an emerging fungal pathogen that is highly resistant to many antifungal drugs. Skin and subcutaneous soft tissue infections caused by this organism are very unusual. Most cases occur in patients with impaired host defenses or following surgical procedures. There has been only one previous report of a histologically confirmed cutaneous infection due to Paecilomyces lilacinus in a patient without predisposing factors. Described here is the second histopathologically proven case of Paecilomyces lilacinus cutaneous infection in a healthy patient without any apparent portal of entry. Prolonged antifungal chemotherapy with itraconazole led to resolution of the skin lesion. This case of sporadic cutaneous infection due to Paecilomyces lilacinus is believed to be the first reported in Europe and the first histopathologically proven case successfully treated with itraconazole.

[Diffuse melanosis in metastatic malignant melanoma with melanuria].

We report an additional case of diffuse melanosis secondary to metastases from malignant melanoma in a patient, who was seen in our department shortly before death. We couldn't localize the origin of the primary neoplasm. After reporting the case, we discuss the pathogenesis of melanosis and possible sites of the primary tumor.
