We report a case of primary cutaneous mucinous adenocarcinotna in a 64-year-old female. The tumor was about 2cm in size, forminga round dome-shaped alopecic scalp mass which had gradually increased in size over about 5 years, Histalogic examination revealed that the tumor was divided into numerous compartments by strands of fibrous tissue. In each compartment, abundant amounts of pale-staining mucin surrounded nests or cords of moderately anaplastic epithelial cells. We couldn't find any evidence of internal neoplasms as a source of metastasis. We resected the tumor with approximately a 1 cm margin and then performed a split thickness skin graft.

A case of 17 years old male with KPP of Tbost-Unna Type is reported. The akin lesions were characterized by the presence of confluent, sharply demarcated hyperk eratotic plaques on the palmar and plantar surfaces. Hypercontraction of palms and soles and hyperhidro is of scalp, face, palms and soles were also noted. Roentogenologic study revealed secondary changes of osteoporosis, flexion deformity and osteoarthritis due to soft tissue contracture and phalangeal and metatarsal bones of hands and feet showed bony resorption with tapering appearance. Histalogic findings of palmar lesion showed excessive hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis and acantosis in the epidermis and no pathology was noted in the dermis and skin appendages, He was treated with hot water compress, 5% Salicylic acid ointment and vit. A and D for 2 months and favorable effect was noted. Authors reviewed relevant literature and made discussions also.
