Cutaneous Metastasis From Parotid Tumors: A Report of 2 Cases and Literature Review.

Cutaneous metastases from parotid tumors are uncommon and imply a poor prognosis. In this article, we report 2 new cutaneous metastasis cases from 2 different parotid malignancies and 42 additional cases from a literature review. Clinical manifestations, localization, and outcomes of skin metastasis from parotid tumors are described.

Case for diagnosis. Hyperpigmented and excoriated papules and nodules in a diabetic patient.

Reactive perforating collagenosis is a rare perforating dermatosis clinically characterized by intensely pruritic hyperpigmented papules, plaques, and nodules with a central keratotic plug. Histopathology reveals transepidermal elimination of collagen fibers. Its pathophysiology is still under investigation, but the acquired form has been linked to systemic conditions such as diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease.

Melanocytic BAP-1-Mutated Atypical Intradermal Tumor in Two Siblings: A Case Report.

Melanocytic BAP-1-mutated atypical intradermal tumor (MBAIT) is a tumor that appears early on life. It can be the first manifestation of a tumor predisposition syndrome. Prompt diagnosis will allow for the implementation of early screening techniques for associated malignancies.

[Differential diagnosis and minimally invasive surgery of an antenatal adrenal mass].

Introduction: Adrenal masses are uncommon in newborns. The differential diagnosis includes be nign masses (adrenal hemorrhage, extralobar pulmonary sequestration) and malignant ones (neuro blastoma) that may be a finding during an obstetric ultrasound. The use of complementary imaging methods allows a better diagnosis approach during the postnatal period, with implications for the management of these patients.

Very High- and High-Frequency Ultrasound Features of Cutaneous Larva Migrans.

Cutaneous larva migrans is a common infestation among travelers. Although the diagnosis may be suspected clinically, cases can show atypical presentations. We present the ultrasound features of 4 cases at 18 and 70 MHz.

Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis manifesting as generalized fixed drug eruption.

Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis is an uncommon, poorly recognized and under-diagnosed catamenial dermatosis associated with hypersensitivity reactions to progestagens. Most cases manifest as urticaria, eczema or erythema multiforme-like. A 26-year-old woman developed violaceous plaques on the groin and abdomen, 4 days after a spontaneous abortion resolved with uterine curettage.

[Paniculitis as manifestation of prolonged febrile syndrome: Case report].

Unlabelled: Fever of unknown origin (FUO) is defined as fever over 7 to 10 days without a diagnosis despite a complete initial study. The most frequent causes are infections, autoimmune and tumors. Even though most cases are self-limited there is a minority that has an underlying etiology with an ominous forecast, encouraging a systematized study.

Breast Cancer Metastasis Misdiagnosed as an Angiokeratomatous Eruption. An Infrequent Presentation. Case Report.

Introduction: Cutaneous metastases represent 2% of all metastases. Breast cancer is the most common cause of skin metastases. Schwartz described 8 types of cutaneous breast metastases; one uncommon form is carcinoma telangiectodes (CT), which may resemble angiosarcoma or lymphangioma circumscriptum.

[Radiation organizing pneumonia: report of one case].

We report a 64-years-old woman who underwent sparing mastectomy with adjuvant radiotherapy for breast cancer. One month after the end of radiotherapy, she presented with malaise, fever, fatigue, cough and migratory bilateral pulmonary infiltrates on serial radiological images. The microbiological studies of broncha alveolar lavage were negative.

Effect of mitomycin in the surgical treatment of tracheal stenosis.

Objective: To assess the capacity of high and low doses of the antimitotic drug mitomycin to prevent laryngeal stenosis in an animal model.

Methods: A prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled study was carried out. End-to-end anastomosis was performed in 18 rabbits after tracheal annulus resection to produce inflammation.
