A case of neurocutaneous melanosis with malignant leptomeningeal melanoma is reported in a 50-year-old white woman. The case is exceptional as regards the late onset of symptoms and death. Although the association of extracutaneous melanomas with cutaneous pigmented lesions is rare, dermatologists must be aware of their presence.
A fatal case of disseminated varicella in a 28-year-old immunocompromised woman is reported. Abdominal pain was the first manifestation of the disease, generalized vesicular eruption developed later. The cutaneous lesions became purpuric, and spontaneous hematomas appeared as a result of disseminated intravascular coagulation. Primary varicella infection remains a serious problem in immunocompromised patients.
