Cutaneous angiomas in POEMS syndrome

POEMS syndrome is an unusual plasma cell dyscrasia with multisystemic manifestations featuring polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M protein and constant skin involvement. We have seen a 58-year-old white man presenting with generalized eruptive angiomas as a rare skin manifestation of this syndrome. We review the literature and discuss the pathogenesis of vascular proliferation in this unusual entity.

The Doppler ultrasonic flowmeter in the management of the dialysis arteriovenous fistula.

<i>To the Editor</i>.—The creation of an arteriovenous fistula represents a major advance in allowing use of the artificial kidney for renal dialysis. Continued improvement in the technique of cannula insertion for the creation of an arteriovenous fistula has allowed a wider use of chronic hemodialysis. Recently, advantages of the surgically created arteriovenous fistula have become apparent. With the increasing use of the Doppler ultrasonic flowmeter as an adjuvant in the diagnosis and management of vascular problems, a wide spectrum of indications for its use has been described, including corrective surgery of congenital arteriovenous fistulae, cirsoid malformation, congenital angiomas, and in the correction of coronary arteriovenous fistulae.^1,2 Useful information for the creation and evaluation of an arteriovenous shunt with the dialysis cannulae may be provided by the Doppler ultrasonic flowmeter. Since the patency of the shunt is essential to long-term hemodialysis, it is obvious that the best possible vascular

Brain Angiomata and Intracerebral Haematoma

Publisher Summary Haemorrhage is an important complication of congenital arteriovenous malformations of the brain. This complication seems to occur with small angiomata and in young people. In many cases the haemorrhage is spontaneous but in some patients it occurs after a slight head injury. In post-traumatic group patients are usually children and young adults; and therefore in a child with post-traumatic intracerebrai haematoma the presence of a congenital angioma should be kept in mind. The haemorrhage can occur slowly, and mimic a brain tumour or it may come on suddenly with symptoms of a cerebro–vascular catastrophe. In the latter case the haemorrhage may cease spontaneously and the resultant haematoma is absorbed, leaving a cavity filled with a xanthochromic fluid. Repeated haemorrhages may occur in this cavity. On the whole brain angiomata compared to aneurysms are benign lesions. Many patients after one haemorrhage lead a normal life and second haemorrhage may never occur. It is suggested that operation for removal of angiomata should be considered in the following circumstances: In the course of evacuation of a haematoma. More than one attacks of haemorrhage. Progressive deterioration in patient's symptoms, for example, hemiparesis or dysphasia Uncontrollable epilepsy. As the operative mortality with modern facilities is negligible, in presence of one of the above indications the size of haematoma even on the dominant hemisphere should not deter the surgeon.

Hemangiomas in pregnancy

Washington, D. C. T H I s IS a report of a series of unusual experiences with cutaneous and mucosal hemangiomas which developed or became symptomatic during pregnancy. A hemangioma may be defined as a benign blood vessel tumor with its components somewhat apart from the general circulatory system. In pregnancy, these vascular tumors first appear during the middle trimester, gradually increase in size until term, and then usually regress in the puerperium. They may disappear completely after pregnancy or they remain permanently. In some instances, in which no treatment of the lesion had been instituted during a previous pregnancy, the tumor recurred or enlarged during subsequent pregnancies. There are many different classifications of hemangiomas. Some are clinical, while others are based on microscopic findings. Winer and Levin’ consider the acquired cutaneous hemangiomas of pregnancy to be eruptive angiomas. The involved capillaries may be arterial or venous. Arterial capillary angiomas may represent an overgrowth of an end artery of the skin or a thickened coiled artery of the cutis. The venous capillary angioma usually overlies a vein or venule which has become obstructed.

HEREDOFAMILIAL ANGIOMATOSIS WITH RECURRING EPISTAXIS

To the Editor:— J. F. Madden of the University of Minnesota Medical School, in his paper on Generalized Angiomatosis (The Journal, February 10, p. 442), erroneously states that hemorrhagic telangiectasia was first reported by Sutton, in 1864, as internal hemorrhages and telangiectasia of the skin.... Erasmus Wilson, in 1869, called the condition eruptive angiomas. Chiari, in 1883, regarded it as a hemophilia of slight degree; Rendu, in 1896, as juvenile hereditary epistaxis associated with multiple hemorrhagic telangiectasias of the skin and mucous membranes; Ullman, in 1900, as angiomatosis. Since H. Gawen Sutton of the Metropolitan Free Hospital published his paper on Epistaxis ( M. Mirror , London 1: 769-781 [Dec.] 1864), I was the first to refer to his work in my publications. Sutton discussed the relation of rheumatic fever and tuberculosis to epistaxis and the connection between epistaxis and hemoptysis. He mentions cases of familial hemoptysis and familial epistaxis. But
