Skeletal lesions of the feet in diabetics and their relationship to cutaneous erythema with or without necrosis on the feet.

Seventy patients with cutaneous erythema of the feet with or without necrosis were the subjects of this investigation. Sixty-five of them had open diabetes. The glucose tolerance of the remaining five patients was altered in a diabetic direction. Twenty-seven of the 70 patients had roentgenologically demonstrable destruction in the bones of the feet. These 70 patients were compared with 61 diabetic control patients of corresponding age and duration of diabetes but without these skin lesions of the feet. Only four of the 61 control patients had destruction in the bones of the feet and all these destructions were small. Precipitating factors were identified in general for the skin lesions, the most common being cardiac decompensation. A higher frequency of precipitating factors was seen in patients with skeletal destructions than in those without. The skeletal destructions and cutaneous necrosis are supposed to be equivalent lesions, localized to different tissues in the feet. When patients presenting skin lesions of the feet in the form of distal gangrene were compared with those who had cutaneous erythema and necrosis of the feet, but no distal gangrene, no differences were found with respect to age, duration of diabetes, occurrence of precipitating factors and the occurrence of skeletal destruction. Cutaneous erythema without necrosis is understood to be incipient diabetic gangrene.

Complications of ascending phlebography of the leg.

Forty patients were studied prospectively for complications of ascending phlebography. The commonest immediate complication was pain at the site of injection and the commonest delayed complication pain in the foot or calf. Out of 30 patients with pain in the foot and calf, 15 had venous thrombosis. Review of 200 case notes disclosed only one recorded complication--namely, necrosis of the dorsal skin of the foot. Complications of the procedure reported by referring clinicians over 10 years comprised four cases of necrosis of the dorsum of the foot and two of gangrene of the foot, in one of which the gangrene spread to the leg. Major complications of ascending phlebography are rare, though when they occur may cause serious morbidity. If a scrupulous technique is used contrast phlebography remains the most accurate method of diagnosing venous disease of the leg.

[The clinical picture of "circumscribed granuloma diseases"].

Characteristic findings, differential diagnosis and clinical course of the so-called "circumscript granulomas" (Granuloma anulare, necrobiosis lipoidica, Miescher's granulomatosis, disciformis, necrobiosis maculosa, granuloma multiforme, actinic granuloma, granuloma faciale and lethal midline granuloma etc.) are represented in a condensed clinical survey.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the foot.

The need for considering squamous cell carcinoma when diagnosing foot lesions is stressed in these two cases. Early diagnosis and treatment are the hallmarks of proper patient management.

Congenital herpes simplex virus infections. Report of three cases and review of the literature.

Three infants with congenital herpes simplex virus infection were examined and treated. One demonstrated findings of individual vesicles on an erythematous base; another had pustules. The children were treated with vidarabine intravenously. Two of the three survived. The literature suggests a potential increase in the occurrence of this infection in neonates. Since the dermatologist is often asked to aid in the diagnosis of this entity and early recognition is vital, it is important to be familiar with the possible causes of vesicopustular lesions, as well as the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, and current forms of treatment of congenital herpes simplex virus infections.

The dermatopathology of Cowden's syndrome.

During the past 2 years we have studied eighty-nine biopsy specimens from nineteen patients with Cowden's syndrome. Among fifty-three facial lesions, twenty-nine were trichilemmomas. Twenty-three of the others were consistent with trichilemmoma, showed a non-specific benign verrucous acanthoma, or were not diagnostic; one was a blue naevus. All fourteen oral mucosal biopsy specimens were benign fibromas. Nineteen of twenty-two biopsy specimens from the hands and feet showed the pattern of benign keratosis. Multiple trichilemmomas were found in all patients with Cowden's syndrome, but at times several biopsy specimens were required before a diagnostic picture was uncovered. All patients with multiple facial trichilemmomas were found to have Cowden's syndrome. The combination of multiple facial trichilemmomas, oral fibromas, and benign acral keratoses enables one to diagnose Cowden's syndrome at a stage before serious internal complications develop.

[Roentgen therapy of dermatoses: indications and hazards].

Indications for radiotherapy of benign dermatoses have decreased markedly during the past decades. The remaining indications are reviewed. Side effects of ionizing radiation therapy are discussed in detail, with special emphasis on radiodermatitis and radiation cancer of the skin, mutagenic and genetic effects of x rays, and induction of carcinogenesis of interanl organs. Thyroid cancer is used as an example to discuss modern theories of radiocarcinogenesis and risk coefficients of various organ systems. Guide lines for radiotherapy of benign dermatoses are proposed.

[Dyshidrosis as a pacemaker for occupational dermatoses].

Out of 335 persons of less than 25 years, 236 had an intermittent dyshidrosis; half of them showed an allergic contact eczema of the hands. Microscopical and cultural investigations revealed a foot mycosis in 24 persons, and in 13 a candidiasis of the hands. Hence, dyshidrosis is obviously not of mycotic origin. 113 out of 150 sensitized persons of this group of age were dyshidrotics; 50% of them had not yet finished their apprenticeship. Obviously, dyshidrosis favours an early sensitization in professions in which allergens are frequently encountered.
