[Kaposi's sarcoma simulating a splenolymphatic lymphoma, toxoplasmosis, and terminal cryptococcus infection (author's transl)].

The authors report a case of Kaposi's sarcome (K.S.) characterized by the small degree of cutaneous involvement as opposed to splenic and lymphatic invasion, lymphoplasmocytic infiltration of the bone marrow, and opportunistic infections (toxoplasmosis, and cryptococcosis). The rapid mortal outcome and the anatomoclinical characteristics of the K.S. enable this case to be classified as one of the rare types of malignant K.S. with pseudo-cryptoccosis features.

[Crosti's reticulosis. Report on three cases, one with ultrastructural study (author's transl)].

Crosti's reticulosis is defined as a peculiar form of well-circumscribed, slow developing lymphomas in adults, with a malignant histological picture. Three cases with typical dorsal localisation according to Crosti's first description are reported and the cardinal features of this type of tumour are recalled. One observation includes an ultrastructural study which confirms the malignant nature of histiocytes in this disease. Localisation in back seems not to be exclusive and a study of 32 cases of the literature about other localised cutaneous reticulum cell lymphomas show them similar to Crosti's reticulosis-which authorizes their classification, as was proposed by Thiers in a single group of slow developing circumscribed reticuloses.

[Keratosis lichenoides striata associated with a pseudo-sinhum and a neurological picture (author's transl)].

The authors reported a case which does not seem to be possibly related to any known clinical entity; an aspect of keratosis lichenoides striata is associated with an ichthyosiform condition of the trunk and a pseudo-ainhum; there is also a neurological syndrome similar to a multilocular sclerosis. This patient resembles the previous cases of the literature; however there is neither erythema nor any striation at the back of the knees. There is also a pseudo-ainhumm. Concerning this observation, a review of the literature on keratosis lichenoides striata is presented.

[Cutaneous manifestations of mediterranean periodic disease. Concerning an observation. Review of the literature (author's transl)].

Méditerranean Periodic Disease is frequently encountered in non-aschenazic Jews and in Armenians. Aside from the classic triad of pseudo-palustral febrile crises, paroxysms of abdominal and articular pain, and a biological syndrome of inflammation; cutaneous manifestations were noted in 25 to 35% of the cases according to various authors. The most commonly encountered lesions consisted of erysipel-like plaques and subcutaneous nodules. We observed the case of a 47 years old Armenian male, afflicted with Mediterranean Periodic Disease for 30 years in which the dermatologic symptoms are quite classic aside from a vitiligo having progressively appeared since 15 years. Possibly a coincidental association, but to the best of our knowledge, which has not as yet been reported.

[Montgomery xanthomatosis (author's transl)].

A typical case of Montgomery xanthomatosis is reported by the authors. Out of this case and of a hundred other ones gathered from the literature, they outline the main features of the disease. It is revealed as being stereotyped and particularly the prognosis is usually good. Whether the ultra structural study may show Langerhans corpuscules or not, it brings us a material to the discussing of border-line cases (xanthomatosis with diabetes insipidus, Hand-Schüller-Christian disease with cutaneous lesions similar to Montgomery's.

Acne rheumatism. Report of a case.

A case of acne conglobata with myo-osteoarticular involvement is described. The occurrence of a subacute, symmetrical polyarthritis with radiological changes was the unique feature of this patient. The immunologic work-up demonstrated impairment of delayed hypersensitivity. Control of the systemic symptoms was obtained initially with corticosteroids and during a relapse with indomethacin. Clofazimin was effective in longterm treatment of the acne. Following cessation of all therapy, there has been no evidence of recurrence of either acne or rheumatic symptoms.
