Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome: elevations in serum angiotensin converting enzyme and results of treatment with methotrexate.

We have presented the case of a 37-year-old white man who had recurrent, unilateral, facial edema, temporary partial facial nerve palsy, sensory loss along the ophthalmic and maxillary divisions of the fifth cranial nerve, ageusia bilaterally on the anterior two thirds of the tongue, right extraocular muscle palsies, and intractable migraine-type headaches, leading to the diagnosis of Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome. The serum angiotensin converting enzyme levels, which are postulated to derive from undiscovered granulomas, were found to be elevated. Methotrexate therapy mitigated the clinical course of the disease, and may prove to be useful in the treatment of this rare and recalcitrant condition.

Atypical pigmented penile macules.

We describe three patients with pigmentary lesions of the penis that simulated malignant melanoma. The pathologic features were unimpressive, although one lesion may have represented a melanoma in evolution. The biologic potential of such lesions and their appropriate therapy remain to be defined.

Electron microscopic studies of Moll's gland cyst.

Several Moll's gland cysts from 4 different patients were studied with the light and electron microscopes. The cysts were lined with a combination of several different epithelia, such as completely keratinized epithelium, glycogen-rich, stratified squamous epithelium with incompletely keratinized luminal cells, sweat duct epithelium, and secretory cells. In one case in addition to the above components, secretory-type wall cells contained very large lamellar inclusions which were PAS positive and diastase resistant. It was concluded that Moll's gland cyst is composed of dilated duct of the Moll's gland and secretory segment; the proportion of each segment is variable but the portion showing ductal differentiation is usually predominant and typical secretory epithelium is not always seen.
