[High resolution ultrasound imaging: value in treatment of basocellular carcinoma by cryosurgery].

Objective: We conducted a prospective evaluation of the contribution of high-resolution ultrasound imaging prior to cryosurgery for basocellular carcinoma and in search for recurrence.

Patients And Methods: All patients seen between 1992 and 1994 at the skin tumor clinic and treated by cryosurgery were included. Ultrasound imaging using 20 MHz prototype was performed prior to cryosurgery and 2 months later.

[Cutaneous candidiasis due to Candida parapsilosis occurring in the course of idiopathic aplastic anemia].

Candida parapsilosis is a very common and saprophytic fungus. Its pathogenic role has been reported in intensive care units after invasive instrumentations. We report a case of dermal candidiasis due to Candida parapsilosis occurring in an immunocompromised patient suffering from aplastic anemia treated with corticosteroids.
