ABSTRACT
Since an increased incidence of occlusive vascular disease has been reported in psoriasis, serum levels of apolipoproteins AI, AII and B were determined in 61 patients with the disease and compared with that of 34 healthy controls. No significant differences were found between the two groups. These findings suggest that the occurrence of thromboembolic disorders in psoriasis is not related to altered levels of apolipoproteins AI, AII, B in these patients.

Eruptive vellus hair cyst and steatocystoma multiplex are infrequent lesions. Although there are clinical similarities between both entities, histologic features are distinctive. Especially noteworthy is the presence of sebaceous glands within the cyst wall of steatocystoma. We describe herein a patient with a familial monomorphous papular eruption on the forehead, biopsies from which showed features of both eruptive vellus hair cyst and steatocystoma multiplex.
