Coexistence of extensive calcification and membrano-cystic changes in lupus erythematosus panniculitis associated with systemic lupus erythematosus.

We report a case of lupus erythematosus panniculitis with long-standing systemic lupus erythematosus. The patient developed widespread calcification and membrano-cystic changes in the subcutaneous tissue. There have been no reports of the coexistence of calcification and membrano-cystic changes in the literature.

Co-existence of pemphigus vulgaris and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

We report a case of pemphigus vulgaris (PV) associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Direct immunofluorescent studies revealed intercellular deposits of IgG and C3. Both anti-desmoglein (Dsg) 1 and Dsg 3 antibodies were positive in the patient's serum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.

Spontaneous regression of multiple tumoral calcinosis in a child.

We report a case of multiple tumoral calcinosis on the head and back of a one-year-old boy who had no renal diseases. After an excisional biopsy of one of the tumors from the occipital region, all of the tumors spontaneously regressed without any further surgical or medical treatment. Although he had neonatal hepatitis, his liver function improved as well as the course of the spontaneous regression of the tumoral calcinosis.
