Cheilitis granulomatosa (CG), which presents clinically as persistent lip swelling, is characterized histologically by noncaseating granulomatous inflammation of unknown origin. CG may also be part of the classic triad of the Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome (MRS) and alone is considered by some to be
The Melkersson-Rosenthal Syndrome consists of recurrent edema of the lips, intermittent facial edema and a furrowed tongue. This is the classic triad which defines the syndrome, although it is accepted that the presence of two manifestations is sufficient to make the diagnosis. Distribution is

We report a case of sudden onset of vitamin A poisoning. A 20-year-old Japanese woman had been eating pumpkin and only a very limited amount of other foods on a daily basis for 2 years. She was overly concerned about weight reduction. Aurantiasis cutis and abnormal liver function tests were noted by
The Radiation Therapy Oncology Group enrolled 30 patients with recurrent malignant astrocytomas onto a phase II study (RTOG 91-13). Patients were treated with all-trans-retinoic acid at a starting dose of 120 mg/m2 per day orally continuously until disease progression. Fourteen patients had
OBJECTIVE
Prompted by recent demonstrations that all-trans-retinoic acid (all-trans-RA) had efficacy in acute promyelocytic leukemia, a phase I trial of all-trans-RA was conducted to establish the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) before phase II testing.
METHODS
Forty patients with a histologic or
BACKGROUND

We report a case of acute intoxication due to a massive overdose of isotretinoin. A 29-year-old male patient ingested 900 mg of isotretinoin corresponding to 12.5 mg (kg/day) or 30 times the prescribed dosage and 1 day later the patient experienced mild headache. Forty-eight hours later, cheilitis,
Oral allergies are underdiagnosed by dental health professionals. Patients with an oral allergy complain of various symptoms such as burning or tingling sensations, with or without oral dryness or loss of taste, or of more general symptoms such as headache, dyspepsia, asthenia, arthralgia, myalgia.

This study shows that severe acne is characterized by numerous inflammatory parameters. The group of acne tetrad patients differed from those with conglobate acne in many laboratory measurements. The treatment with 13-cis-retinoic acid was well tolerated by all patients. Sebum suppression and an
CI-980 is a synthetic mitotic inhibitor that binds to the colchicine binding site of tubulin. It demonstrates broad activity against human and murine tumor models and shows no cross resistance with tumor models whose mechanism of resistance is mediated by P-glycoprotein (MDR-1). A phase I study was
BACKGROUND
Systemic isotretinoin (13-cis-retinoic acid) is effective in the treatment of acne vulgaris. The most common side effects are mucocutaneous ones. Hematuria seen secondary to isotretinoin treatment is thought to be due to mucosal dryness in the urinary system. This study aims to determine
Retinoids have been shown to be potent inhibitors of epithelial carcinogenesis. Recent evidence has demonstrated that retinoid actions are mediated through nuclear receptors, which are proteins encoded by the retinoic acid receptor and retinoid X receptor gene families. These receptors are activated
Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS) is a rare neuromucocutaneous syndrome marked by the triad of recurrent nonpitting orofacial edema, fissured dorsal tongue (lingua plicata), and lower motoneuron facial paralysis. Large case series including treatment are limited. A retrospective records review was
