CUTANEOUS LESIONS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNAL MALIGNANCY.

Internal malignant tumours may stimulate the formation of tumour antigens which, by means of an antigen-antibody mechanism, can cause pruritus, ichthyosis, erythroderma, acanthosis nigricans, dermatomyositis, erythema-urticarial and vesiculo-bullous skin eruptions.Tumours may also interfere with normal immunity responses and allow various localized skin eruptions such as herpes zoster and epidermophytoses to escape their normal boundaries and become generalized.Skin malignancies may also be a sign of decreased immunoallergic response and by their presence alert the physician to search for an internal malignancy, either one associated with the skin lesion, such as a lymphoma, or an unrelated tumour.

HISTOPLASMOSIS IN MONTREAL DURING THE FALL OF 1963, WITH OBSERVATIONS ON ERYTHEMA MULTIFORME.

Although Montreal is in an endemic area, significant clinical histoplasmosis with systemic manifestations has been, until recently, infrequently diagnosed. However, since the autumn of 1963, 31 cases of clinically significant histoplasmosis have been seen by the authors. These were divided into two groups: (1) patients in whom the diagnosis was established on the basis of histological and/or cultural demonstration of the fungus; (2) patients in whom the diagnosis was based on a positive histoplasmin skin test, a complement fixation antibody titre of 1:32 or greater and compatible clinical and radiological findings. An additional group of 11 patients who presented with erythema multiforme was investigated and a heretofore unrecognized relationship between histoplasmosis and erythema multiforme was established.
