Combined chemotherapy (COP) in treatment of mycosis fungoides: report of four cases.

Four consecutive patients with mycosis fungoides received cyclic chemotherapy using cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone (COP). In one case, there was complete remission of disease for 15 months. In another, there was 50% regression of tumors with healing of the ulcerated surfaces. The third patient showed complete clearing of scaling and redness of the skin. In the fourth patient, the lesions progressed.

Unusual cells in lupus erythematosus bullae.

We saw a case of bullous lupus erythematosus (LE) in which there were pre-LE cells and hematoxylin bodies in clear bullous fluid. Pre-LE cells are degenerated leukocytes with pyknotic nuclei. The diagnosis of lupus erythematosus was substantiated by immunofluorescence studies.

Milker's nodules. Pathogenesis, tissue culture, electron microscopy, and calf inoculation.

We report the occurence of milker's nodules in nine patients. In man, the disease goes through maculopapular, target, acute weeping, nodular, papillo-matous, and regressive stages. Papular and papillomatous stages were noted following vaccination of a calf with material prepared from a human lesion. A viral agent was isolated in cultures of bovine kidney cells and human skin fibroblast cells. Cytoplasmic inclusions were frequently seen in the infected bovine kidney cells. Electron microscopy revealed viroplasm, partially encapsulated viroplasm, encapsulated viroplasm, and oval particles with spires around the outside.
