Cutaneous angiosarcoma of the hip.
An elderly patient is presented who developed a fatal angiosarcoma of the hip about ten years after surgery and radiation for a uterine malignancy. She developed a metastasis of the uterine tumor, requiring additional radiation, which led to aseptic necrosis of the hip and chronic joint and soft tissue infection of the hip from a joint prosthesis. Subsequently she developed chronic lymphedema of the hip and finally the cutaneous angiosarcoma in this area. Any or all of these factors might bear a causative relationship to the angiosarcoma, but none can be proved.

A mechanobullous disease of the newborn. Bart's syndrome.
A patient had a unique mechanobullous disease (Bart's syndrome). The characteristic congenital localized skin defects, trauma-induced erosions, and nail deformities are present. The inheritance pattern appears to be autosomal dominant but, as in this report, isolated cases have been recognized. In a review of the other mechanobullous diseases, Bart's syndrome appears to present a distinctive clinical picture and course and has a favorable prognosis. The progressive spontaneous improvement emphasizes the importance of early recognition and conservative treatment.

Skin changes in short-bowel syndrome. Kwashiorkor-like syndrome.
An infant with short-bowel syndrome developed flexural desquamation and "enamel paint" skin in pressure-bearing areas. Hyperalimentation with amino acid and lipid solution was unsuccessful in correcting the malnutrition and skin changes.

Photocontact dermatitis to halogenated salicylanilides and related compounds. Our experience between 1967 and 1975.
We evaluated the role of the halogenated salicylanilides and related compounds in the development of photocontact dermatitis between 1967 and 1975 as seen at the University of California, San Francisco clinic. During this period positive photopatch tests to at least one of these chemicals were detected in 98 patients. Prior to 1967, tetrachlorosalicylanilide and the brominated salicylanilides were the most common offenders. Declines occurred in number of patients with positive photopatch tests and patch tests to these agents as well as the number of patients tested to these agents during this period; ie, almost three times as many people were tested and four times as many had positive photopatch tests in the last six months of 1967 as compared to the first nine months of 1975. The most striking reduction in numbers of patients with positive tests occurred after 1968, but the most notable reduction in the total number of positive photopatch tests occurred after 1970. We concluded that these results were most likely due to removal from the market of the more potent photosensitizing chemicals and increased physician familiarity with the disease process.
