Systemic angioendotheliomatosis (author's transl)

Two cases of systemic angioendotheliomatosis are reported. The first patient was a 20-year-old pregnant Negro woman from Ghana; the diagnosis was established in the biopsy of the skin lesions; the follow up of the patient is unknown. The second patient, a 70-year-old man, presented repeated but transitory loss of sight and speech, later on associated with unconsciousness and convulsions. He died of severe epileptic status two months after the onset of the symptoms. Systemic angioendotheliomatosis was found in the brain as well as in other organs and tissues.
