Glomangiosarcoma of the hand: a case report and review of the literature.

Glomangiosarcomas, or malignant glomus tumors, are very rare, cutaneous, soft tissue tumors. Despite having histologic features of malignancy, these tumors usually do not metastasize. We describe a 74-year-old woman with a glomangiosarcoma on her hand and review the literature.

Clinical and immunologic features of systemic contact dermatitis from ingestion of Rhus (Toxicodendron).

Oral or parenteral exposure to certain contact allergens may elicit an eczematous skin reaction in sensitized individuals. This phenomenon has been called systemic contact dermatitis (SCD) and is relatively rare when compared with classical contact dermatitis. We reviewed and analysed the clinical and immunologic features of 42 patients with SCD caused by ingestion of Rhus (Toxicodendron), 24 males and 18 females, average age 44 years (range 24-72).
