Improvement of lichen planus was achieved by 11 weeks of daily oral treatment with griseofulvin. The patient was 59-year-old male, has had hypertension and diabetes mellitus for 9 months, and history of various drug intake to these diseses for 6 months. Four months before first visit, symptome of lichen planus had developed suddenly. Because of treatment failure of oral antihistamine and topical steroid for 6 weeks, we began to use griseofulvin. Praspective studies are needed to better assess the affectiveness of griseafulvin in the treatment of lichen planus.

We present a case of generalized syringoma in a 12-year-old healthy girl. The patient has numerous skin colored or yellowish papules on the face, neck, anterior chest, axillae and abdomen. She has a family history of eyelid syringoma occuring in her mother and maternal grandmother. Diagnosis was confirmed by characteristic histopathologic findings.

Although there have been a few reports of cases in which cancer cells of extrauterine origin were observed in vaginal smears, such findings are relatively uncommon. We recently experienced a case of ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma diagnosed by cervicovaginal smear in a 56-year-old woman in routine work-up of carcinoma peritonei. The cellular features were several scattered cellular clusters of adenocarcinoma cells in clear background without tumor diathesis. Psammoma body was not present. Exploratory laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis of bilateral ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma with multiple metastases.

We report one case of hair follicle nevus, benign highly differentiating appendageal skin tumor of hair follicle. It arises from pluripotential cells that have formed during life. This patient is a 40-year-old woman who had a localized brownish plaque on the leht cheek for three years. Histologic study revealed many small but mostly mature hair follicles consistent with hair follicle nevus.A Case of Cutaneous Periarteritis Nodosa

Primary gallbladder carcinoma is generally assumed as uncommon but dismal malignancy. Only sporadic studies about pathologic features of the gallbladder carcinoma have drawn pathologists attention especially in association with cholelithiasis. Currently, we have focused much on the role of metaplastic changes in diseased gallbladders including cholecystitis with or without cholelithiasis, and raised its implication in the development of benign or malignant neoplasm. The authors reviewed 34 cholecystectomy cases with primary gallbladder carcinoma, and their histologic findings were analyzed with reference to the association of metaplastic changes both in tumor and adjacent nonneoplastic mucosal epithelium. Association with gallstones and metaplastic changes in the surrounding nontumorous mucosa is more frequent in intestinal typen than in non-intestinal type (P<0.05). Gallstones may play a role of irritant stimuli to the gallbladder mucosa which can be eventually reconstructed with more resistant cell type. And the subsequent increase in absorptive capacity and accumulation of carcinogenic substance may result in malignant transformation of (reserve) cells in replication zone. At this time we can assume that association of cholelithiasis and presence of metaplastic changes are in parallel relationshop in intestinal type adenocarcinoma. Intestinal type adenocarcinomas are usually papillary (72.7%) especially in superficial portion, but deeper area also shows infiltrative growth focally. This finding is comparable to intestinal type gastric carcinoma which represents frequently a polypoid and papillary growth pattern. With these results, as in the gastric carcinoma it is strongly supported that intestinal metaplasia may play a major role as a precancerous lesion in a minor group of the gallbladder adenocarcinoma. Controlled prospective study on biological behavior of intestinal type adenocarcinoma should be followed with more cumulative cases.

We present a case of familial benign chronic pemphigus in 50-year-old male patient who had had recurrent oozing, macerated and eroded skin lesions on the groin and scrotum for 20 years. At first, we diagnosed his case as scrotal eczema and/or intertrigo, but after repeated recurrance, it was confirmed as above disease by characteristic histopathologic findings.

A 25-year-old female was seen because of rnultiple, asymptornatic papular eruptions on the vulvar area since 1 year ago. She had been suffered from palmar hyperhidrosis for 3 years. A skin biopsy specimen from the vulval lesion revealed characteristic findings of syringoma.

A 72 years old man had an 1 x 1cm sized, solitary glomus tumor on the right knee joint and had suffered from sharp, episodic pain and tenderness, radiating to the right thigh and the buttock for about 20 years. Simple surgical excision was performed for removal of the tumor mass and the subjective symtoms. There is no recurrence until now.

Generalized distinct hyperpigrnented macules developed at 2. 7 years after starting photochemotherapy(psoralen and UVA) in a 66-year-old psoriatic male patient. The histopathologic feature of this macule was characterized as a lentiginous p roliferation. The significance and long term course of PUVA lentigo are still unknown. So, we will further monitor this patient continually for melanocytic dysplasias, including melanoma.
