Poromas are a group of benign growths of poroid differentiation derived from cells of the terminal sweat duct and connected to the epidermis, normally presenting as solitary papules, plaques or nodules. Rarely they can be eruptive in nature and as such are described as poromatosis. We report an unusual case of widespread poromatosis occurring in a woman with metastatic breast cancer who had recently completed chemo-radiotherapy.

Wegener's granulomatosis is a rare disease which occasionally causes digital gangrene. We describe a patient who developed gangrene in an upper limb despite being on adequate treatment with intravenous cyclophosphamide and corticosteroids. Further management included administration of prostacyclin analogue (Iloprost) resulting in stabilization of disease.
