Becker's nevus has been known as a sudden onset of hyperpigmentation on shoulder or arm in the second decade of life with slow peripheral extension and later development of hypertrichosis. We observed two cases of typical Becker's nevus which was confirmed by characteristicclinical and histopathological findings. One was 45-year-old male who has a patch of hyperpigmentation and hypertrichosis on left upper arm at birth, the other was 2()-year-old male who developed on right shoulder after sunburn which is a salient feature by Becker's initial description.

A 58-year-old male presented with a pruritic, erythematous hread-like eruption on the right chest, which appeared as a small papule since 6 months prior to his visit. Histopathologic examination showed a burrow containing numerous eosinophiles and a few mononuclear cells in the epidermis. There was focal spongiosis unde the burrow. In the dermis, there was a diffuse and occasionally dense perivascular and periadnx 1 inflammatory cell infiltration consisting of eosinophiles and some lymphocytes. Multiple histologic sections were made without success in deizo strating parasitic tissue in the epidermis, however, the clinical and histopathologic features we onsistent with cutaneous larva migrans.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is known to be a neoplasm of the major and minor salivary glands but it also occurs in the lacrimal gland, external auditory canal, easphagus, breast and skin. Adenoid cystic carcinoma of salivary gland is a slow-growin nalignant tumor. Although metastasis of this tumor clevelnps in about half the cases, its meta taes to the overlying skin is not common, moreover the skin metastasis to the remote site is raely found. Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma is rare and histologically indistingisl able from skin metastasis of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the salivary gland. A 53 year-old man presented a solitary, well defined, erythen at us, 1.3 x 1.3cm sized nodule on the vertex of the scalp, which revealed the typical histopatholog ndings of adenoid cystic carcinoma. One and half years ago, a tumor of the parotid gland va removed and proved to be a cribriform pattern of adenoid cystic carcinoma. The skin lesion was diaghosed as a skin metastasis of the alenoid cystic carcinoma of parotid gland rather than a primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinona because a similar pattern of adenoid cystic carcinorom had been discovered on the parotidg an l although it developed on the scalp, the usual site of primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinama.

Intravascular papillary endotholial hyperplasia is a relatively rare (istose which is characterized by the development of endothelialdined papillary projections in a vascula humen. It is commonly found to be associated with thromboticrraterial and is now considered a reative process of the endothelium rather than a neoplastic one. Although this disease usually presents petri dish or bluish nodule on the head, neck or upper extremiti it can develop anywhere on the bod, . There are many reports about lesions in unusal locations, but t.hey are almost always solitary. A 61-year-old woman complained of multiple, tender, 1 x 1 to 4 x 5 creasized nodules on both hands, antecubital fossa, chest, abdomen, left shoulder and right calf. These the nodules showed reddish to bluish colors and had long hisbiries from 1 year to 7 years. Four our 13 lesions were excised for histopathologic diagnosis intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplaian 3 lesions and cavernous hemangioma in 1 lesion.(

Pityriasis rotunda is an uncommon chronic dermatosis characterized by multiple, round or oval, hyperpigmented or hypopigmented patches that have a fine scale on the trunk and extremities. Most of the cases reported predominantly occurred in Oriental and black patients in association with internal disease. However, in Caucasians it has been documented in healthy persons usually as a familial tendency. We report a case of pityriasis rotunda which showed familial occurrence and had no underlying disease.

In case of severe blepharoptosis, frontalis muscle suspension with fascia or frontalis transfer has been popular for decades, but these static procedures have some disadvantages such as lagophthalmos, lid lag and remnant ptosis. Twenty-six patients with severe blepharoptosis who underwent frontalis suspension, frontalis transfer, or levator resection at Yonsei University Severance Hospital from 1980 to 1988 were studied. The follow-up period of patients ranged from 10 to 18 years with a mean of 12 years. Surveys and clinical results were obtained, In our review of postoperative complications, lagophthalmos persisted in sleep and even in forced eye closure in most patients 2 to 6 months after operation. But no recurrence was noted. In conclusion, undercorrection of ptosis is more desirable than overcorrection. As well levator resection can be considered in selected cases to prevent complications.
