A 1-year-old boy with a cutaneous eruption compatible with papulovesicular acrolocalized syndrome is described. This unusual but benign entity of early childhood can be differentiated both by its clinical presentation and appropriate laboratory testing from the two morphologically similar eruptions: Gianotti-Crosti syndrome and infection with Coxsackie virus A-16.

The authors studied the distribution and the composition of collagen in neoplastic tissue from mastectomy specimens of 15 patients treated for an infiltrating ductal carcinoma NOS, in comparison to normal tissue of the opposite quadrant. The study was performed by light microscopy, microspectrophotometry, and electrophoretic methods. The results demonstrate a characteristic stromal organization of breast cancer in relation to collagen type I content.
