Epithelioid sarcoma and squamous cell carcinoma arising in a burn scar.

Development of a malignant tumor is a well known complication of a chronic burn scar. Most of these tumors are squamous cell carcinomas and only 28 cases of burn scar sarcomas have been reported in literature. We report the first occurrence of the combination of squamous cell carcinoma and epithelioid sarcoma arising in a burn scar.

Mucosal neuromas and prominent corneal nerves without MEN IIB.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type II B or the mucosal neuroma syndrome is an autosomal dominant hamartoneoplastic syndrome. This is a report of a 17 year old female who presented with mucosal neuromas at age 7 years and had surgical excision of the lesion. Ten years later (at age 17 years) she had further recurrence of mucosal neuromas which were again surgically excised.
