Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of Kaposi sarcoma (KS) has reduced as a result of the introduction of antiretroviral therapy. It is currently considered a rare disease in developed countries, and there has been a paucity of clinical papers on the subject in recent years in Europe. AIM To analyse the clinical features and evolution of the different clinical forms of KS in the past 30 years. METHODS Patients with cutaneous lesions of KS diagnosed during the period 1987-2016 at Bellvitge Hospital (an 800-bed university referral centre in Barcelona, Spain) were enrolled. Data recorded included age, sex, ethnicity, involved site, number of lesions, extracutaneous involvement, leg oedema, treatment, blood haemoglobin level, and blood cell (leucocyte, lymphocyte and CD4) counts. RESULTS Cutaneous lesions of KS were diagnosed in 191 patients (167 men, 24 women, mean ± SD age 51.95 ± 20.16 years). Clinical forms identified were classic KS (n = 53), acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-associated KS (n = 118), immunosuppression-associated KS (n = 18), and African endemic KS (n = 2). The number of patients diagnosed annually reached a maximum in the 1990s because of the AIDS epidemic, and has decreased since 2000. However, both classic KS and immunosuppression-associated KS doubled from the first to the second half of the analysed period. Cutaneous lesions involved the legs in 137 cases, and extracutaneous lesions were detected in 32 patients. In 46 of 118 patients with AIDS, the diagnosis of KS was simultaneous to the detection of human immunodeficiency virus infection. CONCLUSION After a decrease in incidence since the middle of the 1990s, AIDS-associated KS continues to occur in Europe, and the number of annual cases of classic KS and immunosuppression-associated KS is increasing.

Abstract
Leishmaniasis is endemic in several geographic areas of the world. In each of these areas, particular species of Leishmania with differing aggressiveness to humans predominate. In the European Mediterranean basin, cutaneous leishmaniasis usually presents with discrete, self-healing skin lesions. Although it is known that tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors may increase the risk of developing infections such as tuberculosis, there is scarce literature on Leishmania infections in patients treated with these drugs. In recent months, we have observed three patients resident in the Catalan coast of Spain who were treated with TNF inhibitors for Crohn disease, and who developed unusually large and persistent cutaneous lesions of leishmaniasis. These lesions responded only to treatment with intravenous liposomal amphotericin B. In countries with a high incidence of infection by aggressive species of Leishmania, serological screening may be indicated to detect a possible latent leishmanial infection before prescription of TNF inhibitors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) is a chronic idiopathic granulomatous disease considered to occur in association with diabetes mellitus. Data on the frequency of this association, however, are inconsistent. Our aim was to retrospectively analyze the clinical characteristics of patients diagnosed with NL at our hospital and to investigate the association with diabetes mellitus and other diseases. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a chart review of all patients with a clinical and histologic diagnosis of NL treated and followed in the dermatology department of Hospital de Bellvitge in Barcelona, Spain between 1987 and 2013. RESULTS Thirty-five patients (6 men and 29 women with a mean age of 47.20 years) were diagnosed with NL in the study period. At the time of diagnosis, 31 patients had pretibial lesions. Thirteen patients (37%) had a single lesion at diagnosis, and the mean number of lesions was 3.37. Twenty-three patients (65.71%) had diabetes mellitus (type 1 in 10 cases and type 2 in 13). In 20 patients, onset of diabetes preceded that of NL by a mean of 135.70 months. The 2 conditions were diagnosed simultaneously in 3 patients. None of the 35 patients developed diabetes mellitus during follow-up. Six patients had hypothyroidism, and 4 of these also had type 1 diabetes. CONCLUSIONS NL is frequently associated with type 1 and 2 diabetes. Although diabetes tends to develop before NL, it can occur simultaneously.
