ABSTRACT
We describe an 8-year-old male with perianal nodules and papules mistaken for condylomata acuminata by the referring physician, raising the question of sexual abuse. Examination and histology at the Department of Dermatology supported the diagnosis of perianal pseudoverrucose papules and nodules (PPPN).

The term twenty-nail dystrophy (TND) of childhood has evolved since its initial description in 1977. TND has also been reported in adults, and many clinical as well as histopathologic associations have been described. We describe the third case of a rare association of TND with vitiligo in a 10-year-old girl.

Squamous cell carcinoma arising from balanitis xerotica obliterans is rarely reported. We describe an 83-year-old man in whom metastatic penile squamous cell carcinoma developed after 18 years of observation for balanitis xerotica obliterans. It is important to recognize the possibility of this uncommon complication of balanitis xerotica obliterans, because survival of patients with squamous cell carcinoma depends on early diagnosis and treatment.

Noninvasive external cardiac pacing has been used safely in various cardiac emergencies for over 30 yr. Its use in neonates, however, has been associated recently with burns. We report the case of a 7-wk-old infant who sustained a full-thickness burn after prolonged use of an external pacing device.
