Melanotic macules of the tongue in a newborn.

A newborn had 3 blue-black macules on the left side of the dorsal tongue. Clinical diagnosis was difficult. A biopsy specimen showed focal increase of melanin in the basal cells and subepithelial melanophages. The persistence of the lesions was unchanged at the age of 6 months, and the histologic features led to the diagnosis of oral physiologic melanosis.

Seborrheic keratosis with compound nevus, junctional nevus and basal cell carcinoma in the same lesion.

Seborrheic keratosis can be associated with different neoplasms such as basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas and melanomas. We describe an unusual case of a man who presented with a brown plaque on his back. The clinical diagnosis was melanoma. Histopathologic examination of the lesion revealed four neoplasms: a compound nevus, a junctional nevus, a superficial basal cell carcinoma and a seborrheic keratosis. Although this association most likely represents a chance phenomenon, we discuss the possibility that the seborrheic keratosis developed from the nevus, and that subsequently the junctional nevus and the basal cell carcinoma developed from the seborrheic keratosis.

Acral persistent papular mucinosis in two sisters.

We describe two young sisters with an asymptomatic papular eruption on the forearms, the clinical, histopathological and ultrastructural features of which were consistent with acral persistent papular mucinosis. Familial occurrence of this uncommon disease is exceptional.

[Lichenoid eruptions of the mouth mucosa induced by lithium carbonate. 2 cases].

INTRODUCTION: Several drugs can induce lichenoid lesions. CASE REPORT: We observed two cases of lichenoid lesions of the buccal mucosa due to lithium carbonate. Drug withdrawal caused clearing. DISCUSSION: These cases emphasize the rare nature of this complication. To date only one lichenoid stomatitis has been reported in the literature.

[Epidermolysis bullosa. Report and discussion of two clinical cases].

The authors present two clinical cases of epydermolisis bullosa (Hallopeau-Siemens type), to underline characteristic mucous and dental diseases of these types of genodermatosis; they analyze mean diferentiative criteria and the diagnostic possibilities; in the specific treatment of this kind of patient it is important to focus as the therapeutic approach in the different dental fields: so the authors consider therapeutic treatment related to oral and systemic status of the patient examined. From this analysis they give a rational way of approaching this kind of patient both for hygiene and for diet, surgery-prosthetic and restorative treatments.

Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome and AEC syndrome: are they the same entity?

Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome and AEC syndrome are two disorders in which ectodermal dysplasia and clefting are associated. Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by cleft lip and palate, peculiar craniofacial features, and ectodermal dysplasia, consisting of abnormalities of teeth, hair, nails and sweating. AEC syndrome manifests the same defects plus ankyloblepharon and a higher frequency of scalp dermatitis. A child affected by ectodermal dysplasia associated with clefting, ankyloblepharon, severe scalp dermatitis, and the characteristic Rapp-Hodgkin facies is reported. The overlap between Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome and AEC syndrome is discussed. Critical review of both disorders suggest that AEC syndrome and Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome represent the same entity.

Parapsoriasis in two children: a clinical, immunophenotypic, and immunogenotypic study.

Parapsoriasis has been described rarely in childhood; a few reports mention this condition as preceding early mycosis fungoides. We report a boy age 15 and a girl age 8 years with different clinical features of parapsoriasis who were followed clinically and histologically for about four years. Immunophenotyping of the skin infiltrate and a T cell receptor gene rearrangement analysis were performed on each. The infiltrate was composed mainly of CD4+ and CD45+ lymphocytes in the first patient and of CD8+ and CD45+ in the second. No T cell receptor gene rearrangements were found. The paucity of knowledge about the evolution of this entity in childhood and its relationship to mycosis fungoides makes follow-up critical. The importance of immunophenotyping and immunogenotyping is particularly stressed.

Misunderstanding of cosmetic products: a paradigmatic clinical case in a baby.

A 6-month-old baby had erythema, fissuring of the skin, and craquelé due to prolonged use of a liquid soap mistakenly believed to be a moisturizer. We think these kinds of skin disorders will become increasingly common due to such misunderstandings. The proliferation of cosmetic products for baby skin care, the increasing prescription of cosmetics by dermatologists for skin disease, and the increase in kinds of cosmetics with similar or unusual contents all encourage such accidents.
