56 patients with nodulocystic acne, hidrosadenitis (2 cases) and steatocystoma multiplex (2 cases) were treated with oral isotretinoin. 52 patients cleared completely or were much improved without local treatment; 2 failures involved patients with steatocystoma, while 2 patients with ano-inguinal lesions were only improved. 19 patients received a dose of 0.5 mg/kg/day for six months; in 37 patients the dose was adapted to the initial response but did not exceed 1 mg/kg/day. Reversible elevated triglyceride concentration was observed in 5% of the patients...

Two cases of perianal Verneuil's disease personally observed are described. It is a rare chronic inflammation of the apocrine sweat glands in several skin areas. The exasperating chronicity and the propensity to extend of the disease involve complicated problems of diagnosis and therapy. A squamous cell carcinoma can rarely complicate long lasting hidrosadenitis. The treatment consist in a radical surgical excision of the involved areas.

The effect of treatment was judged as being moderate only in 7 cases of idiopathic and one case of adrenal hirsutism and good in the remaining cases. However, this regimen caused a marked lowering of the urinary dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate and low polar oestrogen levels and also the plasma testosterone level...
