Localized cutaneous sporotrichosis.

Localized sporotrichosis can present a difficult diagnostic problem. It mimics many other skin diseases, some of which are far more common. Often the skin biopsy is not helpful. The disease tends to be chronic, requiring specific therapy with potassium iodide.

A new device in the treatment of hyperhidrosis by iontophoresis.

All participants with a baseline print score of greater than 1 demonstrated reduced sweating for up to six weeks following treatment with the Drionic device. Because of experimental design flaw, similar results were not obtained from those participants producing a baseline sweat print of 1. Therefore, the impression from these results is that, while not completely supported by objective data, it is possible to substantiate the subjective information related by patients in the control of hyperhidrosis.

Pseudoepitheliomatous, keratotic, and micaceous balanitis.

A case of pseudoepitheliomatous, keratotic, and micaceous balanitis is described. This rare tumor of the glans penis was initially considered to be entirely benign. Evidence from this case and from previously published case reports suggests that this lesion may have locally invasive or aggressive tendencies and that it should be considered to have low-grade or limited malignant potential. Conservative surgical removal seems to be adequate therapy.

Porokeratotic eccrine ostial and dermal duct naevus.

With rare exceptions, the presence of cornoid lamellae in skin biopsy specimens is considered diagnostic of porokeratosis. Since the initial descriptions of this condition by Mibelli (1893) and Respighi (1893), there has been debate concerning its relationship to the eccrine sweat duct. This paper describes an epidermal naevus, which pathologically demonstrated gross examples of cornoid lamellae associated exclusively with the eccrine duct and ostia, and which appears to represent a naevus or benign hamartoma of these structures. This entity needs to be clearly differentiated from porokeratosis of Mibelli.
