RESUMO
A case of primary cutaneous hyalohyphomycosis in a healthy individual is presented. The initial clinical impression was keratoacanthoma or squamous cell carcinoma. Upon excision, the lesion proved to be an example of cutaneous hyalohyphomycosis due to an unidentified, non-pigmented fungal organism. The lesion was completely excised, and the patient was treated with saturated solution of potassium iodide. To date, there has been no evidence of recurrence. The clinical, histologic and mycologic aspects of hyalophyphomycosis are discussed.

A 40-year-old woman had erythematous, papular lesions on both periorbital areas. Histologic examination disclosed the presence of palisading granulomatous lesions. To our knowledge, periorbital granuloma annulare is extremely rare. Our experience demonstrates the importance of obtaining biopsy specimens from periorbital papules and considering granuloma annulare in the differential diagnosis of such lesions.

A 48-year-old man had fever and generalized asymptomatic erythematous telangiectatic plaques and patches. Skin biopsy specimens confirmed the diagnosis of malignant angioendotheliomatosis. Local irradiation therapy induced a temporary remission. Chemotherapy was administered without altering the course of the disorder. Limited autopsy revealed visceral as well as cutaneous involvement.

In November 1966, a 47-year-old black woman had a skin eruption and an abnormal chest roentgenogram that were found to be due to sarcoidosis. In September 1974, nodular lesions and subsequently generalized exfoliative dermatitis developed that were found to be due to mycosis fungoides. The concurrence of sarcoidosis and mycosis fungoides has been recorded only once in the literature. The depression of cell-mediated immunity found in this patient and other sarcoid patients suggests that impairment of the host's immunosurveillance system may predispose to the development of T-cell lymphomas.
