[Cutaneous lesions induced by long-term use of hydroxyurea].

The authors report 3 cases of patients having myeloid chronic leukemia presenting skin changes after long-term hydroxyurea therapy. Some of these side effects are already known; such as dryness, pigmentation, spontaneous necrotizing ulceration and chromonychia with longitudinal pigmented bands. Two new signs are described: a band-like erythema on the dorsum of the fingers and toes, as in dermatomyositis and a plantar keratoderma which interpretation is difficult in such a context. The hydroxyurea's imputability is discussed. These lesions altogether are very suggestive of skin changes after hydroxyurea therapy. The occurrence of such phenomena is quite frequent.

[Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (Ofuji) (author's transl)].

A case, the first French observation of eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (Ofuji) is reported. The long lasting condition of unknown etiology is characterized by slightly indurated erythematous plaques and formation of follicular small papules and pustules. The lesions have a tendency to central healing and peripheral extension and proceed with remissions and exacerbations. Histological features are pustular folliculitis composed chiefly of eosinophiles. Blood eosinophila is often founded. Local corticotherapy and dapsone are sometimes a effective treatment.

[Grover's acantholytic dermatosis (transient acantholytic dermatosis) (author's transl)].

The authors report two cases of Grover's transient acantholytic dermatosis. These two cases exhibit some unusual features. Case no. 1 is that of a 39-year-old female with typical lesions on chest, neck, back and upper limbs. The course was cyclic with spontaneous regressions. This condition had been present for 4 years. Case no. 2 was that of a 46-year-old man with a large erythemato-squamous plaque of the left chest wall exhibiting a vesicular lining. In both instances the histologic findings revealed a picture similar to that of Hailey-Hailey's familial benign pemphigus. In spite of these unusual data, long duration and atypical clinical aspects, these two cases are consistant with the diagnosis of Grover's disease as evidenced by description found in the literature.
