Pseudomalignant cutaneous amoebiasis.
Two cases of cutaneous amoebiasis which presented as malignant ulcers are reported. In non-healing ulcers in the perianal or gluteal region, the possibility of amoebiasis should be kept in mind, especially in the tropics. An immediate examination of the scraping from the ulcer is sufficient to confirm or rule out the diagnosis.
Chromomycosis in Tanzania.
Sixteen cases of chromomycosis encountered over the period 1975-1980 are reported for the first time from Tanzania. In the tropics, in ulcerative or cauliflower-like lesions, especially of lower limbs the possibility of chromomycosis should be confirmed or ruled out by means of scrapings or biopsy.
Hydatid cyst of the orbit.
A case of hydatid cyst of orbit is presented for the first time from Tanzania. The patient presented with unilateral proptosis. Hydatid cyst should be included in the differential diagnosis of all cases of unilateral proptosis and a Casoni test done as a routine to confirm or rule out such a possibility.
