[Isolated anterior cervical hypertrichosis]. / Hipertricosis cervical anterior esporádica.

Anterior cervical hypertrichosis was described by Trattner and coworkers in 1991. It consists of a <> of hair at the anterior cervical level just above the laryngeal prominence. To date, only 28 cases of anterior cervical hypertrichosis have been reported. Although it is normally an isolated finding, it may be associated with mental retardation, hallux valgus, retinal disorders, other hair disorders, facial dysmorphism, or sensory and motor peripheral neuropathy. We report the case of a 27-year-old woman who presented with this condition as an isolated finding.

Nevo melanocítico congénito giganteasociado a angiolipomas / Giang congenital melanocytic nevus associated with angiolipomas

El nevo melanocítico congénito gigante es infrecuente, su incidencia es de 1 por cada 20.000 a 50.000 nacidos vivos. Los angiolipomas aparecencomo lesiones subcutáneas, a menudo múltiples, en general, en individuos adultos jóvenes.Describimos una paciente con la combinación en la misma región de un nevo melanocítico congénito gigante y de angiolipomas (AU)

Giant congenital melanocytic nevi are rare and occur in about one out of 20.000-50.000 births. Angiolipomas occur as subcutaneous lesions, mostoften multiple, that arise in young adults. A patient with giant congenital melanocytic nevi associated with angiolipomas located on the same area isreported (AU)

[Scrofuloderma with osteoarticular tuberculosis in the Ferrol health district]. / Escrofulodermia con tuberculosis osteoarticular en el área sanitaria de Ferrol.

INTRODUCTION: Scrofuloderma results from direct extension of an underlying tuberculous focus such as bone, joint or even the epididymis to the overlying skin, but is more frequent over a lymph node, mainly in the cervical region. METHODS: We analysed all cases of scrofuloderma with a bone or joint focus evaluated in the sanitary area of Ferrol, with a current population of 220,000, during a 15-year period. We describe the clinical, histopathological, and microbiological data of patients. RESULTS: We found 6 cases of scrofuloderma with osteoarticular tuberculosis. This series includes five men and one woman, aged 37 to 80. Visceral involvement was found in 3 patients (50 %). CONCLUSION: Osteoarticular tuberculosis comprises 10 % of all extrapulmonary tuberculous infections. There is a high probability of visceral involvement in patients with scrofuloderma. Underlying bone involvement should be rule out in all patients with scrofuloderma, especially in those with incomplete response to medical treatment.

[Porokeratosis in a patient with dermatomyositis]. / Poroqueratosis en una paciente con dermatomiositis.

There are several reports of porokeratosis in the context of immmunosuppressive diseases. These mainly include organ transplant, HIV infection, lymphomas and some inflammatory and autoimmune diseases commonly treated with immunosuppresive drugs or chemotherapy. Disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis is the clinical variant of porokeratosis that most frequently develops in immunosuppressive states. We report a case of porokeratosis in a woman with dermatomyositis.
