Abstract
INTRODUCTION Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is a benign vasoproliferative disease of undetermined origin. It is characterized by the presence of nodular pseudo-tumors corresponding microscopically to a vascular proliferation within an inflammatory infiltrate made up of lymphocytes, macrophages, and eosinophils. The authors describe 7 cases of ALHE. METHODS The 7 cases were diagnosed over a period of 19 years (1990-2008). Clinical data and histological slides were brought from the departments of dermatology and pathology of the Rabta Hospital. RESULTS The 7 patients were 4 women and 3 men with an average age of 34.5 years. The cephalic localization was the most frequent. Lesions were solitary or multiple and formed papules or plaques of variable color. The diagnosis was based in all cases on histological findings. DISCUSSION The main disease in the differential diagnosis of ALHE is Kimura disease, but the 2 entities have several clinical and histological differences. The pathogenesis remains unclear and there is no consensus on the best treatment.

Abstract
Sweet's syndrome (SS) is an acute neutrophilic dermatosis characterised by abrupt onset of fever, leukocytosis and cutaneous eruption, with dermal neutrophilia on skin biopsy. Most cases are idiopathic but SS can be associated with various affections, especially neoplastic, inflammatory and infectious diseases. The authors report the case of an SS occurring in a patient with a known rheumatoid arthritis associated with a secondary Sjögren's syndrome, with incidental finding of concurrent lymph node tuberculosis. In case of SS, an associated disease (malignant, inflammatory or infectious diseases) must imperatively be searched for, knowing that two or more of these affections can coexist.

Abstract
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a relatively rare skin neoplasm. Usually affecting adults, the incidence in children is even less frequent. Through a report of three pediatric cases of DFSP, we describe the particularities of this tumor in children. Three boys aged 8, 9, and 15 years presented with a firm nodular skin lesion of the trunk, varying in size from 1 to 5 cm. No previous trauma event had occurred. Diagnosis was confirmed in all cases by immunohistological study. Surgical excision was performed in all cases. No recurrence was evident during the follow-up period of, respectively, 15, 36, and 49 months. The DFSP is an infiltrative tumor of intermediate malignancy, with a limited potential for metastasis (<5%) but a high rate of local recurrence (≥ 50%). The incidence in children is even less frequent. In children, its seemingly benign clinical appearance may explain delays in diagnosis; the majority of lesions affect the extremities, suggesting a potential role-played by injury. In our observations, however, as in adults, the trunk was the site of occurrence. Despite the uncertain pathogenesis of this tumor, the finding of certain characteristic histopathological features helps establish an accurate diagnosis. As in adults, surgical treatment with large surgical margins remains the best practice for children with DFSP, directly affecting the prognosis.

Abstract
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and malignancy occurring in the same individual is unusual and has generally been the subject of isolated case reports. LCH is a rare condition in adults. Its cause is uncertain but, with the recent demonstration of clonality and its association with malignant disease, there has been a renewal of interest. We report a singular case of Letterer-Siwe disease associated with a chronic myelomonocytic leukemia developing in an elderly woman. The simultaneous occurrence of both malignant disorders supports the hypothesis of a common genetic origin.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Staphylococcus skin infections (SSI) are common. The emergence methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a growing concern. AIM To describe the epidemiological, clinical and bacteriological features of SSI in a hospital department. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a prospective study performed in the Dermatology and Bacteriology Department of the La Rabta Hospital during a period of three months (February-April 2008). Were included all cases presenting with a primary SSI. For each patient wee collected epidemiological, clinical, bacteriological and therapeutic features. RESULTS Twenty-five patients were included in the study concerning 15 men and 10 women, with a mean age of 47 years. Clinical exam revealed a unique lesion in 52% of cases. The abscess was the predominant clinical form (40%). The bacteriological study isolated a Staphylococcus aureus in the lesion in 40 % of cases and in the other sites of staphylococcus portage in 24% of cases. 32 % of patients had MRSA. CONCLUSION Dermatologists are increasingly faced with cutaneous infections caused by MRSA. Bacterial samples should be taken routinely and probabilistic antibiotic therapy for MRSA instituted in severe infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. The familial nature of psoriasis has long been recognized. Aim of our study was to describe the epidemiological, clinical and genetic features of familial psoriasis. METHODS Through a prospective study we investigated during a study period of lyear (2006-2007) 9 Tunisian unrelated multiplex families. Patients with psoriasis and their available family members were examined by the same dermatologist. RESULTS Thirty nine individual presented psoriasis (25 men and 4 women), with a mean age at onset about 19.8 years. With the systematic exam of member's family we discover 11 cases of unknown psoriasis. The common form of psoriasis was the preponderant one (37 cases). The nails, the scalp, the mucous membranes were involved respectively in 21, 12 and 13 cases. The psoriasis was severe in 11 cases. CONCLUSION Through this study we find similar epidemiological and clinical features of those reported previously. The intra and inter-familial variability was evident in our patients.
