摘要:

Rhabdomyosarcoma is an uncommon tumour that may present at a wide variety of different sites. We report a 4-year-old girl who developed an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma arising in the left pinna which was clinically indistinguishable from a lymphangioma. The case illustrates that this neoplasm can be easily misdiagnosed because of its variable morphology. Early recognition is important as successful treatment is now possible with a combination of chemotherapy, surgery and/or radiotherapy.

摘要:

The occurrence of morphea-like changes during the course of eosinophilic fasciitis is considered to be rare. We observed such a case with simultaneous occurrence of both types of lesions. Histologically, fibrosis and inflammatory infiltrate were seen in the entire dermis, the subcutis and the fascia, suggesting that the same process might account for all skin changes. In addition, our patient had an antiphospholipid antibody, neurologic symptoms and livedo-like cutaneous lesions. However, whether the antiphospholipid antibody played a pathogenic role or not remains unclear. Corticosteroid treatment was successful.

摘要:

We report one case of renal transplant recipient who developed widespread multiple verrucous skin lesions. Histologic examination revealed typical warts and, only from several sites exposed to sun (hands and face), a development of dysplasia within the warts and a transformation of some of them toward infiltrating squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing for DNA by polymerase chain reaction DNA amplification identified HPV type 1 in both warts and SCC. Our findings suggest that classic warts may progress to high-grade lesions and that, in addition to the oncogenic potential of the virus alone, other factors including the host’s immunosuppressed state and ultraviolet radiation seem to be essential to malignant transformatio
