Apocrine gland organic hamartoma (apocrine nevus).

A patient had two fleshy, nontender masses, each partially filling an axillary vault. These tumors arose at puberty in normal-appearing axillae. The masses were accompanied by localized hyperhidrosis. Histopathological examination of the lesions showed that the reticular layer of the dermis had been replaced solely by lobular masses of unencapsulated, mature apocrine elements. These very rare tumors are best classified as apocrine gland organic hamartomas, or apocrine nevi. To our knowledge, such a case has never been reported or photographed.

Disodium etidronate therapy for dystrophic cutaneous calcification.

A patient with extensive disabling dystrophic cutaneous calcification and possible scleroderma was treated with orally administered doses of a diphosphonate known as disodium etidronate. This course of therapy seemed to arrest and partially reverse the progression of the calcifying process. Some deep deposits were then seen to dissipate and be partially reabsorbed, while some small superficial depcific deposits were halted in most areas while the patient was under therapy. Clinically, pain was reduced, recurrent abscess formation ceased, and joint mobility was improved.
