A Case of Ketron-Goodman Disease

Pagetoid reticulosis (PR) is a rare form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma [Mod Pathol 2000;13:502–510]. Two variants of the disease are described: the localized type Woringer-Kolopp disease (WKD) and the disseminated type Ketron-Goodman disease (KGD). KGD may have disseminated lesions, high rate of recurrence and a guarded prognosis [Mod Pathol 2000;13:502–510]. In patients with KGD, therefore, long-term observation is necessary. Disappearance of cutaneous lesions does not mean resolution of the disease [J Am Acad Dermatol 2002;47:183–186]. Herein we report the case of an 84-year-old man with erythematous patches of the trunk and the upper and lower extremities in whom the diagnosis of KGD was made. We describe this case for the rarity of this pathology and for the good response to therapy (IFN)

Mappe catastali per la ricostruzione delle trasformazioni del paesaggio

As the remote sensing is largely available from the second half of 20th century, historical maps are an invaluable tool to reconstruct historical landscape and plan future landscape management. Within historical maps, cadastral maps represent documents which allow to draw best past land uses. In this paper we compare past and present landscapes of the high Tagliole valley within the Frignano Regional Park (Modena Province) using the first Cadastre for the whole Italian territory and present Cadastre in a GIS environment. Results are discussed using aerial photographs and socio-economical data derived from Italian censuses
