[Pilonidal sinus of the penis].

A 43-year-old man presented with a painful itching penile lesion. Examination revealed multiple fistulas with protruding hairs and surrounding induration. The urologist identified them as pilonidal sinuses and surgically performed debridement.

[A rare nodule on the finger].

A 46-year-old woman presents to her general practitioner with a painless swelling of her right index finger, which developed spontaneously one year ago and is slowly growing since. Histopathological investigation shows a superficial acralfibromyxoma: a rare benign soft tissue tumour that occurs mostly on the digits and predominantly in men at a mean age at diagnosis of 48 years. Complete excision is important to prevent local recurrence.

[A non-healing ulcer between the toes].

A 60-year-old man presented with a non-healing interdigital ulcer on the right foot. Various treatment regimens had no effect. Three months later, histopathological examination of a biopsy showed an acrolentiginous amelanotic melanoma.

High incidence of diabetes after stroke in young adults and risk of recurrent vascular events: the FUTURE study.

Background: Diabetes diagnosed prior to stroke in young adults is strongly associated with recurrent vascular events. The relevance of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and incidence of diabetes after young stroke is unknown. We investigated the long-term incidence of diabetes after young stroke and evaluated the association of diabetes and impaired fasting glucose with recurrent vascular events.
