[Acne inversa. Pathogenesis and genetics].

Acne inversa is a chronic inflammatory disorder of sebaceous follicles and terminal hair follicles and is one type of acne diseases. The pathogenesis of acne inversa is identical with that of the other types: Hyperkeratosis of the follicular infundibulum leads to a comedo. Bacterial infections result in a rupture of the follicular canal followed by a granulomatous inflammatory reaction with abscesses, panniculitis and draining sinuses. Acne inversa has so far only occasionally been observed in two or more members of the same family. The familial presentations of acne inversa published in the literature and two observations of familial occurrence among the authors' own patients reveal an autosomal dominant inheritance with high penetrance.

[Acne inversa. Diagnosis and therapy].

Acne inversa (synonyms: acne triad, acne tetrad or hidradenitis suppurativa, and others) is an inflammatory disease that develops mostly in the axillae, under the breasts and in the anogenital region. The new term, acne inversa, encompasses what was previously called the occlusion triad or tetrad. The disease is relatively common, but the diagnosis is frequently missed. Many different modalities of treatment are recommended in the literature. Radical surgical intervention should be performed at the earliest recognized stage. In the light of experience with our own patients, we propose surgical intervention with wide excision and subsequent healing by secondary intent.

[Epithelioid sarcoma].

Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare soft tissue tumour, which was first described in 1970. The tumour occurs mostly in young adults and is characterized by multiple recurrences and late metastases. Two patients with epithelioid sarcoma are presented. Clinical and histological features and treatment are discussed.

[Spreading pigmented actinic keratosis--diagnosis and therapy].

Spreading pigmented actinic kereatosis is a rarely described premalignant epidermal lesion occurring on the skin following exposure to the sun. On clinical examination it may be difficult to distinguish it from pigmented seborrheic keratosis or lentigo maligna. Spreading growth and a diameter greater than 1.5 cm are characteristic features. We report a case of spreading pigmented actinic keratosis in a 61-year-old patient.
