High-dose intratympanic gentamicin instillations for treatment of Meniere's disease: long-term results.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Administration of high-dose gentamicin for intractable Meniere's disease appears to be effective in achieving long-term control of vertigo. However, the safety of this route of administration with respect to the patient's hearing has not yet been sufficiently established. Objectives: The study aimed to analyze the long-term results of patients receiving high-dose intratympanic gentamicin (ITG) instillation for refractory Meniere's disease. Patients and methods: Fourteen patients with Meniere's disease according to 1995 American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) guidelines who had failed...

Would we have had Alien, Planet of the Apes and The Time Machine if it weren't for a certain bearded Victorian?Darwin, Evolution and the Movies is a one-off festival of film and live comedy to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species on 24 November 1859. Over this weekend the festival is running at three separate venues across London.

To the Editor: Heald et al described seven patients with what they called persistent agmination of lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) and classified them as a distinct clinical subset within CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorders. Patients had waxing and waning papules and nodules within a persistent erythematous and scaly plaque, histopathologically compatible with a LyP, but with a different clinical behavior. We observed a similar case with the same clinical presentation but a distinct clinical evolution. A 27-year-old male without medical history had a 4-month history of several asymptomatic, stable nodules between 10 and 20 mm...

On examination, there was a 9- × 7-mm, very firm blue nodule present inferior to the right medial canthus (). There was no purulent drainage. The differential diagnosis included a deep infantile hemangioma or a midline developmental defect; however, a diagnosis of dacryocystocele was favored...

To the Editor: Circumscribed palmar or plantar hypokeratosis (CPH) is a new entity recently described by Perez et al in 2002. To the best of our knowledge, only a few cases have been reported in the literature. It may be underdiagnosed, because most of the cases are asymptomatic, and sometimes it is misdiagnosed as palmar porokeratosis or Bowen disease. A 47-year-old woman presented to our department with an asymptomatic, solitary, circumscribed patch of depressed skin on the left thenar palm that had been present for approximately 10 years. There was no history of trauma or other notable incident. Her medications consiste...

To the Editor: In the June 2009 issue of the Journal, Hexsel et al reported the incidence of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) in a cohort of patients with vitiligo. In the “Introduction” section, they noted that the frequency of skin cancer in patients with vitiligo seems to be uncommon, with only a few reports in the literature. They identified 477 patients at their hospital with vitiligo, six of whom (42% of the study group) had a NMSC. Four were basal cell carcinomas, and two were squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). The pathology specimens were stained for the presence of melanocytes. Two of the six cancers arose in viti...

Physiologic changes in vascular birthmarks during early infancy: Mechanisms and clinical implicationsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
To the Editor: In the April 2009 issue of the Journal, Cordoro et al stated that physiologic vascular changes in infants may alter the appearance of some vascular birthmarks; they incorrectly suggested that these changes contribute to the efficacy of pulsed dye laser (PDL) treatment of port wine stains (PWS) in infancy. We have recently shown that high energy PDL of PWS before 6 months of age offers the best chance of eradication of these lesions. Factors related to laser–tissue interactions are far more responsible for this high cure rate than are physiologic changes in the vasculature. (Source: Journal of the American ...

Psoriatic balanitis is clinically characterized by erythematous, nonscaling plaques most commonly located proximally on the glans and under the prepuce. Most often, genital psoriasis is part of a more generalized disease process, but in the case of exclusively penile involvement, the correct diagnosis may be difficult to make, and several investigations, including a skin biopsy, are often necessary.

Surgical management of congenital dermatofibrosarcoma protuberansEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Congenital dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare tumor with varying clinical presentations that is commonly misdiagnosed. Treatment of congenital DFSP is complicated by delays in diagnosis and its propensity for subclinical spread. Of 61 reported cases, 11 (18%) were treated with Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) and 46 (75%) were treated with wide local excision (WLE). One case was treated with imatinib, and the remaining 3 did not differentiate between receiving MMS or WLE. In the cases of congenital DFSP treated with MMS the clearance rate was 100% with an average follow-up of 4.3 years. The clearance rate seen...
