Juvenile xanthogranuloma is a congenital or perinatal tumor, 1 to 2 cm in diameter, usually located on the head. The extracutaneous lesions can occur on the eye, the lung, the epicardium, the oral cavity or the testicles. Subcutaneous form of juvenile xanthogranuloma has been reported very rarely in the literature. We report a unique case of a subcutaneous juvenile xanthogranuloma that showed 4 × 4 cm sized plaque and located on the extremity of 9-year-old girl.

Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma is a rare condition characterized histologically by increased numbers of eccrine structures and numerous capillary channels. It may be congenital or appear later in childhood. It rarely arises during puberty or adulthood. We report a case of eccrine angiomatous hamartoma on the left shoulder in a 34-year-old man. The patient presented with asymptomatic, dome-shaped, about 3X2.5 cm, reddish telangiectatic nodule on the left shoulder. Histological examination showed an increased numbers of eccrine sweat glands and vascular structures.

Acantholytic dyskeratosis is seen in Darier's disease, transient acantholytic dermatosis and warty dyskeratoma. It is also occasionally observed incidental histological finding in pityriasis rosea, pityriasis rubra pilaris and is occasionally found in linear epidermal nevus. A 10-month-old boy presented linear hyperkeratotic plaques on the right sole and the left hand along with erythematous scaly papules on the posterior neck, the left axilla and the face. Histological findings showed acantholytic dyskeratosis with common histopathological findings of epidermal nevus. Acantholytic dyskeratosis is an occasional finding in linear epidermal nevus, but has been rarely reported in an infant(5 cases reported in 20 years). We report a case of linear epidermal nevus with acantholytic dyskeratosis in an infant.

The complications of herpes zoster ophthalmicus vary greatly among different patients. The major portion of the complications fall under four types; (1) keratitis, (2) iridocyclitis, (3) muscular palsies, and (4) optic neuritis. We have experienced a case of herpes zoster ophthalmicus complicated by abducens palsy, sectorial paralysis of iris sphincter, iritis, and transient increase of intraocular pressure. The case was reviewed and the pathogenesis of the complications were discus sed.

We report a case of alopecia mucinosa in a 9-year-old girl. She presented with several papules on an erythematous patch on the right side of the ala nasi, a hairless nodular lesion on the same side of the nasal canal. Histopathologic findings obtained from the nasal canal revealed typical features of alopecia mucinosa, such as reticular degeneration, cystic space formation and mucin deposition in the pilosebaceous follicle. The case displayed no evidence or clinical features of any malignant changes, and we suspect the case to be an acute form of alopecia mucinosa.

Indeterminate cell proliferations are rarely described in dermatology literature. Indeterminate cells are characterized by positivity for S-100 protein and CD-la, but are distinguished from Langerhans cells by the absence of Birbeck granules. We present a case of congenital indeterminate cell histiocytoma in a 6-day-old male infant. A Skin examination revealed a solitary, erythematous, 6*6cm, superficially crusted, dome shaped papule on his forehead. A Histopathologic examination showed a dense cellular infiltrate in the dermis, below the atrophic epidermis. Frequently, the nucleus demonstrated a single cleft or crease like the shape of a kidney. These cells showed positivity for S-100 protein. Birbeck granules were not found on electron microscopic examination.

Lichenoid keratosis (LK), a lichen planus-like keratosis, is a rather frequent skin disorder that has some histological features similar to lichen planus. However, the classification system for LK has not been settled. We report two cases of LK and propose a new classification for LK correlating with clinicohistopathological findings.
