Radiation-induced adiposis of the parotid gland.

Radiation-induced changes to the parotid gland may complicate later surgery for new or recurrent tumors of the area. Radiation commonly causes the replacement of parotid parenchyma by adipose cells as well as fibrosis and glandular atrophy. If the Mohs micrographic surgeon is not prepared for the gross and microscopic changes which may be present in the parotid gland, neighboring structures such as the facial nerve may be inadvertently encountered and tumor depth and extent may be poorly estimated. By discussing and illustrating this situation, we hope to make other surgeons aware of the difficulties which may be present after radiation to the parotid gland.

Clonal origin of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a malignant tumor originating in the dermis. Although it is known to be locally aggressive, it only rarely metastasizes and will recur unless completely excised. The exact cell responsible for the development of a DFSP has been a matter of controversy for several decades; however, most histochemical and electron microscopic studies support a fibroblastic origin, with the tumor cells staining uniformly for vimentin and containing active endoplasmic reticulum synthesizing collagen. Cytogenetic analysis of some of these tumors has demonstrated at least two specific chromosomal abnormalities in DFSP and suggested that this tumor may be polyclonal in origin. To further address the clonal origin of this locally invasive, mesenchymal tumor, we analyzed DNA from two female patients by restriction fragment length polymorphisms and methylation analysis. Our data strongly support the concept that DFSP is monoclonal in origin and that this tumor mass reflects the clonal expansion of a single cell.

Hyperkeratotic mycosis fungoides restricted to the palms.

The case of a 45-year-old Latin American man, who presented to the Dermatology Clinic with a 6-month history of hyperkeratotic lesions confined to the palms and the palmar aspects of the digits of both hands, is discussed. Biopsy of these lesions revealed the classic histologic findings of mycosis fungoides. The clinical and histologic differential diagnosis of mycosis fungoides is considered.
