Complete closure by purse-string suture after Mohs micrographic surgery on thin, sun-damaged skin.

BACKGROUND: The purse-string suture technique is useful for partial closure of surgical defects. OBJECTIVE: We demonstrated that 100% closure can often be obtained on surgical defects of the thin skin on the upper extremities. METHODS: Standard purse-string suture techniques were used to close surgical defects on the upper extremities. RESULTS: 100% closure of surgical defects on upper extremities was demonstrated. CONCLUSIONS: Purse-string suture technique is useful for repairs of surgical defects on the upper extremities when the skin is very thin but not recommended when the skin is thick.

Olmsted syndrome: the clinical spectrum of mutilating palmoplantar keratoderma.

Olmsted syndrome is a rare variety of transgredient palmoplantar keratoderma with an undefined inheritance pattern. It starts in the neonatal period or in childhood and has a progressive and extremely disabling course. We report two new, unrelated patients with Olmsted syndrome, one with the early signs and symptoms of the disorder, the other showing the full-blown spectrum of the syndrome during a 30-year follow-up period.

Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis: clinical spectrum of systemic involvement.

Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis is a rare neurocutaneous syndrome with involvement of ectomesodermal tissues. Unilateral lipomatous hamartomas of the scalp and eyes are the hallmarks of this disorder. Associated findings are extremely variable, ranging from minor abnormalities to severe, debilitating disease. We report two unrelated Brazilian patients with encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis, one presenting with the full-blown spectrum of cutaneous, ocular, and central nervous system manifestations, and the other with minor extracutaneous manifestations after a 5-year follow-up period.
