Vulvar pseudoverrucous papules and nodules secondary to a urethral--vaginal fistula.

Irritant contact dermatitis is a common cause of genital eruptions representing at least one-fifth of presenting anogenital symptoms. A spectrum of inflammatory reactions have been identified, some of them with features severely mimicking more serious dermatoses, which may lead unnecessary workup and treatments. We report a case of a 10-year-old girl who presented at birth with cloacal atresia involving the rectum and the urethra.

Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency panniculitis.

Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency is a congenital error of metabolism linked to pulmonary (emphysema) and liver (cirrhosis) disease. Since 1972, panniculitis has been associated with this deficiency, initially related to Weber-Christian syndrome and finally as a differentiated entity. Clinical manifestations typically consist of wide nodular lesions on the trunk and proximal extremities that evolve to ulceration and drainage.

Superficial thrombophlebitis.

Superficial thrombophlebitis (STP) is a common disease usually characterized by an auto-resolving vasculitis of medium-sized veins of the upper subcutis or deep dermis that clinically manifests as a tender or painful palpable cord-like structure. It usually occurs in the setting of varicous veins, or hypercoagulable states, and may be the alarm signal for an underlining silent cancer. STP mainly involves the legs, but special locations, including the anterior chest wall or the penis, characterize specific clinical forms (Mondor's disease).

[Treatment of mycosis fungoides with PUVA and bexarotene].

Introduction: The combined use of bexarotene and PUVA is a treatment that is currently being investigated. In this paper, six patients treated with this combination are presented.

Objectives: To assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with PUVA + bexarotene in patients with mycosis fungoides (MF).
