Goltz syndrome, also known as focal dermal hypoplasia syndrome, is a rare congenital mesoectodermal disorder. Two cases, which we experienced, showed erythematous, tan skin rashes and atrophic scars on the whole body, but there were some differences in clinical manifestations. Histopathologic findings in both cases showed diminution in the thickness of the dermis with subcutaneous fat extending upward to the epidermis. Therefore, we report a comparison of two cases of Goltz syndrome, especially with respect to clinical manifestations.

We present three cases of eosinophilic pustular folliculitis without eosinophilia in a 19-year-old female, a 27-year-old male, and a 51-year-old male. Multiple erythematous plaques with papules and pustules were observed on the face in two patients and on the face, trunk, and extremities in the third patient. Histopathologic findings showed hair follicles and the sebaceous glands infiltrated with mixed inflammatory cells composed of eosinophils and neutrophils, characteristic of eosinophilic pustular follicultitis. However, peripheral blood eosinophilia was not present in any of our three cases.

The occurrence of a lipoma-like condition associated with trauma would tend to be regarded as a subset of or a separate entity from ordinary lipoma. We report herein a case of traumatic Lpoma occuring on the dorsum of the left hand. The patient was a 46-year-old male, who had struck his left hand against a window about two months previously and noted casually an asymptomatic, firm, dermal lesion at the site of injury. On gross examination, the enucleated nodule was a smooth-surfaced, yellow fatty mass measuring 0.3 × 0.5 × 0.3cm which looked like a kernel of corn. Microscopic examination revealed encapsulated mature fat consistent with lipoma.

Multiple satellite pyogenic granuloma developed on the left upper back of a 14-year-old boy after excision of a hemangioma-like lesion. He has had nevus flammeus on the left upper arm since birth with fine linear telangietasiae around the main lesions. Histopathology showed the capillary proliferation in the dermis, and transmission electron microscopy revealed multiple Weibel-Palade bodies, considered an early endothelial cell marker, in the cytoplasm of the endothelial cells. We believe this patient may have the propensity to develop different angiomatous lesions.

Malignant Melanoma is rare, occupied less than about 0.5% of malignant skin cancer, in Korea. We have experienced three cases for recent 2 years. Case 1 was a 65-year-old woman suffered from 2.0 × 3.0cm sized fungating mass with central ulceration on the left heel for 1 year duration. Left inguinal lymph node was enlarged. She expired 9 months later in spite of treatment with surgical excision, lymph node dissection, and chemotherapy with DTIC. Case 2 was a 37-year-old woman showed 1.0 × 1.5cm sized lobulated, black papules on the right preauricular area for 8 years duration. Satellite lesions developed 1 year ago. There were recurrences on the excisional sites after treatment with wide surgical excision. Case 3 was a 45-year-old woman had 0.5 × 2.Ocm sized, black pigmented patch with satellite lesions on the left sole for 2 years duration. Surgical excision and follow-up for 1 year after treatment showed no recurrence yet.
