1.Two Cases of Anhidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia with Atopic Dermatitis in Siblings.
Annals of Dermatology 1998;10(2):91-96
Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (AED) is characterized by a well-known tetrad of anhidrosis, hypotrichosis, hypodontia, and typical facies with a wide constellation of developmental defects of tissues derived from the ectoderm. Most of these patients have normal or borderline normal intelligence, but some present with mental retardation. A 15-year-old boy and his younger brother were evaluated for dry skin and intolerance to heat since their births. Their parents and other brother were normal. Both of them had atopic dermatitis. A skin biopsy was done on their left axilla, which showed a few immature eccrine glands in the dermis. We report herein two rare cases of AED in siblings with atopic dermatitis.

We report a case of atrophoderma vermiculata with an unusual location. Besides symmetrical small pitted macules and linear atrophic depressions on both cheeks, there were unilateral atrophic depressed macules on the forehead, the right popliteal fossa and left up-per arm in our case. The histopathologic findings of these lesions showed a slight degree of epidermal atrophy with follicular pluggings and flattened rete ridges. In the dermis, there were mild perivascular in-filtrations of mononuclear cells. In addition, we could find out no pilosebaceous unit and other adnexal structures were diminished in number.

3.A Case of Primary Erythermalgia.

Annals of Dermatology 1997;9(3):224-227
An 18-year-old man had suffered from intense burning with redness and an increased temperature of both the lower legs, forearms and hands since the age of 5. Symptoms were exacerbated by exposure to heat or walking. The patient obtained temporary relief by immersing his feet and hands in cold water. We observed the increase of skin temperature in relation to pain by thermography. No specific abnormalities were noted in laboratory studies. Treatment with aspirin was ineffective. We report a rare case of primary erythermalgia with typical features.

4.Molluscum Contagiosum of the Newborn: An Unusual Presentation.

Annals of Dermatology 1998;10(1):53-55
Molluscum contagiosum is a common, benign, viral disease of the skin and mucous membrane that generally affects children. This disease is characterized by a 2 to 7 week incubation period; the involvement of the face, trunk, and extremities; spontaneous resolution within 2 to 4 months; and common autoinoculation. Individuals are susceptibile from the age of one. Herein, we report a case of molluscum contagiosum with an unusual manifestation. The skin lesions, which occured at ten days postpartum, showed two adjacent hard papules on the posterior scalp. They remained for 8 months in the same size and number.

We report a rare case of sporadic keratosis punctata palmaris et plantaris in a 49-year-old woman. Thirty years ago, firm semitranslucent papules developed on the middle portion of her palms without any subjective symptom. The lesions had flat-topped smooth surfaces. They were concentrated along the margins of the hands, especially on the lateral surfaces of both index fingers and finger tips/ Ten years ago, similar hyperkeratotic papules with or without central craters developed on the weight bearing portions of her soles. Her family and past histories were negative. The biopsy specimen revealed a dense hyperderatotic stratum corneum which fitted into a cup shaped depression in the stratum malpighii and a turning inward of the rete ridges at the margin. The Masson trichrome and elastic strains showed no peicific dermal changes.

Acromelanosis progressiva is a peculiar progressive pigmentary disorder characterized by intensely dark and sharply demarcated hyperpigmentation over the dorsa of fingers and toes, and the pigmentation rapidly spread proximally. A 19-year-old female had sharply demarcated symmetric dark aroarn macules on the dorsa of her hands and feet, forearms, lower legs, face and neck. These pigmentations at first appeared at the age of 5 on the dorsa of her fingers and toes, thereafter these pigmertatons spread progressively to the proximal portion of her body. Histologically, a proliferation of mela biocyte at the epidermal-dermal junction was seen, associated with mild hyperkeratosis. She was othervise normal on physical examination and had no family historv of consanguinity.

7.A Case of Allergic Contact Dermatitis to Ribavirin.

Annals of Dermatology 1993;5(1):44-46
Allergic contact dermatitis to topical agents mostly results from vehicles and preservatives and rarely from the active ingredients. Ribavirin, an active ingredient of Viramid® cream, is a synthetic nucleoside derivative with broad spectrum activity against a wide variety of DNA and RNA viruses. We report an 18-year-old woman, who had a perioral edematous patch with exudative crusts after topical application of Viramid® cream (nsung pharmaceutical Co., Korea) for the treatment of herpes labiahs. A patch test showed that the sensitizer was ribavirin, the active ingredient of the antiviral agent, Viramid® cream.
