Recombinant hematopoietic colony-stimulating factors have profound effects on developing and mature granulocytes, macrophages, and lymphocytes. Use of these agents for treatment of disease may result in a variety of adverse cutaneous reactions. The recent discovery of colony-stimulating factor production by keratinocytes and dermal cells suggests that these agents may also be significant in cutaneous homeostasis and in the pathogenesis of cutaneous diseases.

Tumor necrosis factor is important in systemic and cutaneous defense, homeostasis, and many disease states. The numerous and diverse effects of tumor necrosis factor are best understood when considered as concentration-dependent, with normal homeostasis progressing to defense followed by toxic effects. Understanding tumor necrosis factor is important for the dermatologist as more studies appear in our literature and potential clinical uses of tumor necrosis factor (and possible anti-tumor necrosis factor agents) are realized.

Secondary hypercoagulable states are complex clinical conditions associated with an increased risk of thrombosis in which the exact pathophysiology is poorly understood. Secondary causes of superficial thrombophlebitis include malignancy, pregnancy, use of oral contraceptives, infusion of prothrombin complex concentrates, Behçets disease, Buergers disease, Mondors disease, infectious agents, conditions that promote venous stasis, intravenous catheters and intravenous drug use. Conditions that may stimulate superficial thrombophlebitis include dermatophyte cellulitis at saphenous phlebectomy sites, sarcoidal granulomas, cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa, and hyperalgesic pseudothrombophlebitis in patients who test positive for human immunodeficiency virus. The distinguishing features, clinical evaluation, treatment, and histologic characteristics of the various disorders are reviewed.

Generalized perforating granuloma annulare is characterized by 1 to 4 mm umbilicated papules on the extremities, and is most commonly seen in children and young adults. Transepithelial elimination of mucinous, degenerating collagen fibers and surrounding palisading lymphohistiocytic granulomas are important histologic features. Perforating sarcoidosis and perforating granuloma annulare may be difficult to differentiate because of a similar clinical appearance and the presence of sarcoidal granulomas in biopsy specimens. A particularly high incidence of perforating granuloma annulare has been reported in the Hawaiian Islands.

This review concentrates on those disorders in which superficial thrombophlebitis can be a significant or presenting clinical sign. Primary hypercoagulable states are those conditions associated with an increased risk of thrombosis caused by a specific measurable defect in the proteins of coagulation and/or fibrinolytic systems. These disorders are frequently inherited and include deficiencies of antithrombin III, heparin cofactor 2, protein C, protein S, abnormal fibrinolytic activity, dysfibrinogenemia, and Hageman trait. Patients with a lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin antibody syndrome with thrombotic episodes are also considered to have a primary hypercoagulable state. The physiology, pathophysiology, clinical characteristics, and treatment of primary hypercoagulable states are reviewed.
