Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is a rare, chronic non-inflammatory bullous disease, which easily forms bullae by minor mechanical trauma or spontaneously, is inherited either in an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive fashion. We report herein two cases which presented with bullae, erosions and ulcers on extremities, buttock, chest, abdomen and face and loss of all nail since birth in two sisters. Bulla occured bencath the basal lamina histopathologically, anchoring fibrils were almost absent on electron miaoscopy in both cases. The two sisters represented dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa considering the absence of family history inheritcd in an autosomal dominant fashion and the clinical, histological and electronmicroscopic findings.

AIDS, which is being spreaded world-wide, would have the number of the patients and the infected persons to several million persons since the first patient had been reported among the homosexualists in 1981, and in our country patients of 323 persons had been found till 1993, therfore we could have significant concern and warning. Accordingly, this writer intended to present basic data to the blood Project and AIDS preventive movement by investigating knowledge, attitude and concern regarding AIDS including blood donors, and analyzed data of 1,920 pages by questionaire method from March to August 1994. According to the results, it is rather well-known as far as general knowledge, attitude and concern regarding AIDS are concerned, however, items which are 20-40% wrongly known are as followings: AIDS is infected by virus. It is infected by insects such as mosquito. It is infected with tight kiss with the person infected with AIDS. Risk of being infected with AIDS will be reduced if using condom when sexual intercourse. It may be infected through the foods. It may be infected by the same bacteria attacking venereal disease. And WHO(world Health Organization) designated Dec. 1st as AIDS'Day. Items which are 40-60 wrongly known are as followings: AIDS can be infected by blood donation, Now vaccine preventing AIDS has been developed. In our country, Preventive law of AIDS is established. And in the field of the attitude and concern, it was surveyed as important as being hahdied by the broadcasting and newspaper, and 60470% of the persons answered that they would avoid AIDS infected person, and 76% of male and 87.1% of female gave the reply thet AIDS infected persons should be administered extraordinarily by isolated accommodation by the nation.

Cutaneous metastasis from renal cell carcinoma is not unusual, occurring in 3 to 7%, although it may be overlooked. We report a case of metastatic renal cell carcinoma in a 74-year-old man who was presented with a 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.5 cm-sized nodule on the right zygoma for 3 months. A skin biopsy demonstrated the typical clear cell adenocarcinoma with PAS(+) granules in the cytoplasm and honeycombed or glandular configuration, compatible with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Kidney ultrasonogram and abdomina1 CT scanning showed a large cystic mass on the upper pole of the left kidney. Furthermore radiologic studies revealed multiple metastatic lesions in the lung, liver and brain. He died 4 months later.

Gottron's acrogeria syndrome is a rare genetic disease of unknown etiology with some features suggestive of accelerated aging. The typical clinical presentation consists of premature aging of the skin with atrophy of the cutis and the subcutis. After a brief review of the literature available on this syndrome, we report a case of Gottron s acrogeria syndrome in a 19 year-old man whose right rectus femoris muscle had a fibrotic contracture.
