An unusual case of genodermatosis with familial gastrointestinal polyposis, angiomatous malformation and ascites.

Gardner's syndrome is a familial adenomatous polyposis syndrome with extraintestinal manifestations, characterized by the coexistence of intestinal polyposis with an early risk of malignant degeneration and extraintestinal manifestations mainly involving the skin, eye, bone and thyroid. We describe an unusual case of intestinal adenomatous polyposis, retinal hypertrophy, fibromas of the skin, bone and thyroid tumors accompanied by congenital arteriovenous malformations with lethal complications.

[False positive reactions to the fluorescence test (FTA-ABS) in skin disease patients].

False positive reactions to the fluorescence test (FTA-ABS) were found in a group of dermatological patients compared to another group, made up of healthy subjects and blood-donors. Reactivity to FTA-ABS test was particularly evident in patients suffering from Herpes simplex genitalis, allergic diseases and collagenoses. Practical and theoretical aspects of this finding are discussed.
