Locus for susceptibility for familial capillary malformation ('port-wine stain') maps to 5q.

Capillary malformation (CM; 'port-wine stain'), is a common vascular malformation affecting cutaneous capillary vessels in 0.3% of newborns. Increased incidence of lesions in first-degree relatives of these patients and several reported familial cases suggest that genetic factors may play a role in the pathogenesis of CM.

[Pelvic actinomycosis].

Unlabelled: AN UNUSUAL INFECTION: Actinomycosis, uncommon in a pelvic localization, is a severe condition not well known to gynecologists. It is caused by Actinomyces israeli and is closely associated with long-term use of an intrauterine device. In the pelvic localization, the disease generally presents as a pseudoneoplastic formation.

[Pelvic actinomycosis: a case with secondary localization in the liver].

Background: Actinomycosis is uncommonly observed in a pelvic localization. The presence of an intrauterine device is an important risk factor.

Case Report: A 50-year-old woman presented a tumoral mass in the pelvis with secondary liver involvement.
