The nasal ala is a challenging area for surgical reconstruction, with thick sebaceous skin, the lack of an ample tissue reservoir, and an adjacent free margin. Numerous flaps have been reported for the repair of alae defects. A 71-year-old woman with simultaneous basal cell carcinomas involving both nasal alae was treated by Mohs micrographic surgery. The surgical defects measured 1.5x1.5 cm on the center of the right nasal ala and 1.0x1.0 cm on the left nasal ala, including the alar crease and rim. The right nasal ala was used as a nasolabial transposition flap and the left nasal ala was reconstructed by an island pedicle flap. The final shape and texture were satisfactory. The flaps survived and nasal symmetry was preserved. Combined nasolabial transposition and island pedicle flaps thus offer a superior esthetic and functional result owing to minimized tension. This may be a valuable reconstructive option in the repair of bilateral nasal alae defects.

The melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy(MNTl) is a rare, usually benign, pigmented lesion which most frequently involves the maxilla. Skull, brain, and mandible are other craniofacial sites; this anatomic region accounts for 87% of all cases. The vast majority of MNTl, nearly 95%, present in infants of both sexes within the first year of life. Most cases of MNTl follow a benign course, with a 15% propensity for local recurrence. MNTl is regarded as a primitive neuroectodermal tumor with polyphenotypic differentiation. We report a classical MNTl which occurred in left lower maxilla in 6-month old female infant. She developed an ill defined, firm swelling on the left alveolar ridge and gum during 3 weeks. Mass excision reveals ill defined, grayish-tan hard mass, measuring 2.0x1.6 cm. Microscopically, the tumor reveals irregular alveolar pattern of melanin-containing cuboidal cells and nests of small round cells. The immunohistochemical staining for melanoma-associated antigen, neuron-specific enolase and cytokeratin show positive reactions. Ultrastructural examination showed intracytoplasmic melanosome, tonofilament and desmosome.

We report here a case of angioimmunoblastic lyinphadenopathy with dysprote inemia(AILD) in a 65-year-old male associated with skin nodules on the face. Physical examina.tion showed generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, erythematous maculopapular eruptions on the trunk and extremities, and er the matous nodules on the face. Lahoratory findings showed hemolytic anernia, arid polyclonal gammopathy. Histopathological findings of lymph node revealed typical features of AILD. I-iistopathological findings of maculopapules revealed lymphohistiocytic infiltra tion and extravasated erythrocytes around the blocked vessels, whereas histological picture of nodules on the face mirrorred that of the lymph node. After taking systemic chemotherapy, his general condition and skin lesions were improved.

We report a case of paraneoplastic acrokeratosis(Bazex syndrome) occurring in a 70 year old man with small cell carcinoma of the lung. The skin lesions showed violaceous erythema and psoriasiform scaling of the face, aural helices, scalp, and palmoplantar regions with severe nail dystrophy, Histcipathological findings revealed hyperkeratosis, acanthosis and spongiosis in the epiderrnis, and lyrnphocytic infiltration in the upper dermis. He was treated with cis-diamine dichloroplanum(Cisplan), 4 o-demethy-l-o-epipodo- phyllotoxin (Etoposide ) and steroid onitrnent. But eight months later, he died of lung carcinoma.
