[Brief history of Actas Dermo-Sifiliográficas]. / Breve historia de Actas Dermo-Sifiliográficas.

Actas Dermo-Sifiliográficas was founded by Juan de Azúa in May 1909. The birth of the journal coincided with the founding of the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, then known as the Spanish Society of Dermatology and Syphiligraphy, and it is this organization's official publication. Actas Dermo-Sifiliográficas gradually became established, until the year 1936, when its publication was interrupted for 14 months at the start of the Spanish Civil War. It resumed activity in October 1937 under Sainz de Aja, Gay Prieto and Eduardo de Gregorio. In the 1980's, it underwent a crisis that resulted in its exclusion from MEDLINE. Actas Dermo-Sifiliográficas gradually recovered under the management of Drs. Iglesias, Sánchez-Yus, Fernández-Herrera and Torrelo, and it has finally been included once again in the most consulted medical database in the world.

Vaginal involvement in a woman with Darier's disease: a case report.

BACKGROUND: Involvement of the female genital tract by Darier's disease, an unusual genodermatosis, is uncommon, and the manifestation of the disease in a cervicovaginal smear is exceptionally rare. CASE: A 39-year-old woman had an abnormal Pap smear caused by involvement of the female genital tract by Darier's disease. Cytologic examination showed features consistent with a low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, but during a biopsy it was found to be vaginal involvement by Darier's disease. CONCLUSION: The correct interpretation of cytologic findings is not possible when the diagnosis of Darier's disease is not known since a low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion cannot be ruled out. This case underlines the importance of knowing the patient's medical histoiy in any moment of medical attention.
