Necrotising fasciitis and myositis that originated from gastrointestinal bacterial infection: two fatal cases.

We present two cases of aggressive myofasciitis after gastrointestinal infections. The first patient developed necrosis of the legs over 5 days and he died on the 20th day. Vibrio vulnificus was cultured.

Secondary anetoderma overlying pilomatrixomas.

Five pilomatrixomas with anetodermic cutaneous changes are presented. Four large tumors revealed soft, atrophic, pink translucent skin covering a firm subcutaneous mass, and their appearance was similar to that of a keloid or hypertrophic scar. One small tumor revealed soft, slightly atrophic, reddened or purplish skin covering a firm subcutaneous mass: its clinical appearance was similar to that of a hematoma or minor infection.
