[Pseudocysts of the auricle. Clinical and histological studies of 3 cases]. / Pseudo-kystes du pavillon auriculaire. Etude clinique et histologique de trois cas.

Three cases of pseudocyst of the auricle were studied. All three occurred in male, 38, 54, and 23 years old; all had a solitary nodule of the anthelix. Such pseudocyst have a characteristic localization and are not caused by trauma and have a serous, cystic content. The cystic formations develop from degeneration and liquefaction within the auricular cartilage. We believe that the name proposed by Engel "pseudocyst of the auricle" can be appropriated.

[Seip-Lawrence syndrome associated with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia. Report of a case]. / Síndrome de Seip-Lawrence asociado a displasia fibrosa poliostótica. A propósito de un caso.

We report the case of a 28-year-old woman attending for hirsutism and diabetes mellitus. Diabetes was a casual finding 2 years before consulting and was treated with diet and antidiabetic drugs. Acromegalic appearance, facial acne, penty, curled and rude hair, hypertrichosis, ade I diffuse goitre, prominent abdomen with umbilical hernia, severe hepatomegaly, prominent muscles and veins with normal genitalia appeared in the physical examination. No other abnormalities were found. Hypophysis, thyroid, suprarenal and ovaric hormonal functional studies were normal. An insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus was found in the metabolic study. Ultrasound and TAC showed severe diffuse hepatomegaly and visceral fat lack. Bone radiographies showed diffuse lesions compatible with polyostotic dysplasia. Subcutaneous, hepatic and bone biopsy revealed lack of fat tissue, hepatic steatosis and osteal fibrosis. Patient s diagnosis was Berardinelli-Seip syndrome, Seip-Lawrence or lipoatrophic diabetes associated with polyostotic fibrotic dysplasia. Case is studies and bibliographic references are reviewed.

[Effect of bornaprine in localized hyperhidrosis]. / Efecto de la bornaprina en las hiperhidrosis localizadas.

Therapeutic action of bornaprine on localized forms of hyperhidrosis is studied in 12 patients. 50% improved after a week treatment. Other patients showed an acceptable change in the third or fourth week. Side effects only appeared in one patient.

[Study of membrane oligosaccharides in keratinocytes using the lectins in normal epidermis]. / Estudio de los oligosacáridos de membrana en los queratinocitos mediante aplicación de lectinas en epidermis normal.

The authors studied the oligosaccharides coated membrane of normal keratinocytes with the lectins HPA, PHA-L, RCA-120; and ConA. The results permit to have a pattern of normally epidermic differentiation.

[Changes in surface oligosaccharides in precancerous skin lesions]. / Estudio de las alteraciones de los oligosacáridos de superficie en lesiones cutáneas precancerosas.

The authors studied 5 cases of the actinic keratoses, 3 cases of the leukoplakia and 2 cases of the cutaneous horn with the lectins specifics on the oligosaccharides of the keratinocyte's membrane. The patterns in each disease are described according to grade of differentiation.

[Immune staining of Paget's cells]. / Inmunomarcaje de las células de Paget.

The authors studied with the technic of PAP a case of the Paget extramammary. The presence of the precursors of the human milk in these cells in a date for to thing than Paget extramammary is the origin eccrine or apocrine.

[Kawasaki syndrome]. / Síndrome de Kawasaki.
