    Huriez syndrome: case report with a detailed analysis of skin dendritic cells (2000)

    Notes: We report a 60-year-old man with familial scleroatrophic syndrome of Huriez who developed squamous cell carcinomas on the affected skin of the right palm. Immunohistochemical analysis showed a marked reduction in the number of CD1a+, Lag+ and S100+ epidermal Langerhans cells, but not of CD1b+ and factor XIIIa+ dermal dendritic cells, limited to palmoplantar skin. The Langerhans cell depletion was not associated with an abnormal skin content of mRNA for factors involved in Langerhans cell development or recruitment in the epidermis, including granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor, transforming growth factor-β1 and macrophage inflammatory protein-3α. The results indicate that other as yet unknown mechanisms may account for the reduced number of Langerhans cells in the affected skin of such patients.

    Lupus vulgaris developing at the site of misdiagnosed scrofuloderma (2003)

    Notes: Cutaneous tuberculosis is a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis primarily occurring in developing countries. The recent increase in the incidence of tuberculosis, especially due to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections, has led to a resurgence of extrapulmonary forms of this disease. We describe a case of lupus vulgaris in a 33-year-old woman who had a 5-year history of a slowly growing plaque on her neck. The lesion was located at the site of surgery repairing the scar resulting from the incision of a subcutaneous abscess during childhood. This lesion was misdiagnosed as bacterial abscess. Histopathologic examination of the plaque revealed non-caseating tuberculoid granulomas consisting of lymphocytes, epithelioid and giant cells. Staining for acid-fast bacilli and culture from biopsied tissue was negative. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA, performed on a skin biopsy specimen, was positive. A diagnosis of lupus vulgaris developing at the site of a previous misdiagnosed scrofuloderma was made. Conventional antitubercular therapy with rifampicin, isoniazid and ethambutol was administered for 6 months, resulting in resolution of the lesion.

    Peripheral neuropathy in course of progressive systemic sclerosis (1986)

    Notes: Summary Progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the connective tissue with involvement of the skin and other organs. The disease is characterized by an abnormal accumulation of collagen in all tissues and by microangiopathy. The involvement of the peripheral nervous system during PSS is very unusual and few cases are reported in the literature. A morphological study on the neuropathy associated with sclerodermia has been performed in rare cases. In this paper we demonstrate the role that the vascular lesions have in the pathogenesis of neuropathy during scleroderma. In particular, the primary role of the peripheral microangiopathy during PSS (observed in different clinical cases) is verified.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Viene presentato un caso di una paziente affetta da Sclerosi Sistemica Progressiva, caratterizzata dalla presenza di una polineuropatia ad esordio precoce accanto ai sintomi tipici della malattia. In letteratura tale associazione è stata descritta raramente. In questo lavoro viene descritto per la prima volta lo studio ultrastrutturale del nemo periferico affetto. Lo studio neuropatologico del nemo surale mostra una quasi completa perdita di fibre mieliniche. Le cellule di Schwann mostrano una anormale iperplasia della membrana basale con segni morfologici di denervazione. Di particolare interesse è la presenza di corpi di Luse (spindle-shaped banded structures) sia all'interno del citoplasma schwannico sia nell'endonevrio. Sulla base dei dati ultrastrutturali vengono discusse alcune ipotesi sul meccanismo patogenetico di questa neuropatia.
    Notes: Abstract We present the case of a woman with progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) in whom the usual symptoms were preceded by a rapidly progressive peripheral neuropathy. Few cases of peripheral nerve involvement have been described. For the first time we report an ultrastructural study of an affected peripheral nerve and muscle. In the sural nerve we found an almost complete loss of myelinated fibers. Schwann cells showed an abnormal hyperplasia of their basal membranes and structural signs of denervation. Spindle-shaped banded structures were seen in the cytoplasm of Schwann cells and in the endoneurium. On the basis of these ultrastructural data some hypotheses on the pathogenetic mechanism of this neuropathy are discussed.
