Digestive side effects associated with interferon and ribavirin in the treatme nt of chronic hepatitis C seem to be non *** far, inflammatory bowel dis eases have only been rarely described in this context. We report two cases of Cr ohn’s disease which occurred a few months after inter- feron and ribavirin treatment for chronic hepatitis C. The first case was a 43 year old man treated for 7 months with a interferon and ribavirin combination f or chronic hepatitis C who experienced colitis related to Crohn’s disease, with the occurrence of articular and cutaneous manifestations. The second case was a 43 year old women treated for 8 months with a pegylated interferon and ribaviri n combination for chronic hepatitis C who developed Crohn’s disease with right ileo-colic topography and severe evolution requiring an ileo-coecal resection because of the failure of medical treatment. The alpha interferon used for its a ntiviral action against hepatitis C virus, has complex immunomodulationeffects w hich could reveal latent Crohn’s disease.

Psoriasis is capable of presenting in a variety of clinical and pathologic guises including a rarely described variant variably termed hypertrophic or verrucous psoriasis. Herein, we describe the clinical and pathologic attributes of a large series of patients with this unusual variant of psoriasis and distinguish it from other entities in the differential diagnosis. The histopathologic features and clinical and demographic attributes of a series of 12 cases from 12 patients were reviewed by a single dermatopathologist (MM). The 12 patients consisted of 7 males and 5 females with an average age of 61.8 years (males 38- 93 years, females 41- 71 years). Eight of the patients were Caucasian, 3 Hispanic and 1 African- American. Six of the lesions were located on the knees, 4 involved the elbows, and 2 were seen on the dorsum of the hands (metacarpal- phalangeal joint). The clinical appearance of the lesions consisted of flesh- toned to white mammillated plaques (8 cases) and coalesced papules (4 cases). Each of the biopsies showed regular psoriasiform epidermal hyperplasia with acanthosis, hyperkeratosis, and either spongiform neutrophilic or Munro micro- abscesses. In addition, each showed papillomatosis with bowing of the peripheral rete ridges toward the center of the lesion (buttressing). At high power, epidermal neutrophils were seen in particular surmounting the tips of the suprapapillary plates with accompanying serum. Hypergranulosis and koilocytic change were not observed in any of the lesions. Human papilloma virus (HPV) immunostaining and periodic acid Schiff (PAS) special staining for fungi were negative. Verrucous psoriasis is a distinctive variant of psoriasis with overlapping clinical and pathologic features that might prompt consideration of verruca vulgaris. The presence of epidermal papillomatosis and epidermal buttressing seen in these lesions is reminiscent of the histologic features of verruca vulgaris. Similarly, the presence of coalesced papules m
