Cutaneous collagenous vasculopathy (CCV) is an idiopathic microangiopathy with characteristic histological findings. It was described in 2000, and 9 cases have since been described. Two women of 83 and 74 years consulted for long-standing telangiectasias. In case 1, they affected the limbs and trunk and in case 2 were located on the legs. Biopsies of these lesions showed dilated vascular structures whose walls were thickened due to deposition of eosinophilic hyaline material. The affected vessels were located in the superficial dermis in case 1, and in case 2 the reticular dermis was also affected. CCV is a microangiopathy of unknown etiology. Clinically it is indistinguishable from generalized essential telangiectasia and differs in its histology. CCV may be underdiagnosed, and some nonbiopsied cases of generalized essential telangiectasia may really be CCV. We contribute 2 new cases of this entity to help establish its clinical and epidemiological characteristics and make its etiology better known.

Introduction: Cold-induced sweating syndrome type 1 (CISS1) is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis caused by mutations in the CRLF1 gene, characterized by profuse sweating when the ambient temperature is below 22°C and morphological alterations. CRLF1 mutations also cause Crisponi syndrome (CS), which presents neonatal muscle contractions, morphological disorders and alterations in the autonomous nervous system. Case Report: A 30-year-old man sought treatment for profuse sweating. His medical record included neonatal admission for generalized hypertonicity. Clinical examination revealed morphological alterations. A genetic study was requested, detecting a c.713dupC mutation in homozygosity in the CRLF1 gene. Conclusions: We report the case of a male with clinical and genetic diagnosis of CISS1 who in childhood presented clinical characteristics of CS. The mutation detected in CRLF1 has not been described in patients with CISS1, but in one with CS. These data seem to support the theory that CS and CISS1 are variants of the same disorder.
