Sclerosing lymphangitis of the penis is a peculiar disorder characterized by painless, firm, cord-like lesion in the coronary sulcus of the penis. Histologic findings include thickened lymphatic collecting vessels, fibrin thrombi and few inflammatory changes. The etiology is unknown, but the condition is benign and self-limited. We describe herein a 27-year-old man who had a typical painless, tender, firm, cord-like lesion in the coronary sulcus. Histologic findings disclosed a markedly thickened and fibrosed lymphatic vessel with a organizing thrombus. Whatever the cause of thrombi formation, it is prohable that the thrombi formation would be a main pathologic process, followed by the thickening of the vessel wall.

Freys syndrome is characterized by attacks of facial erythema and gustatory sweating occurring in the cutaneous distribution of the auriculotemporal nerve. After sugery, trauma, abscess, or other diseases of the parotid gland, the postganglionic sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibers are disrupted. Some misdirected auriculotemporal nerve fibrils join with the distal sympathetic nerves innervating the sweat glands and subcutaneous vessels. We report a case of Freys sindrome in a 6-year old boy without any definite injury to the parotid gland. After considering our case and review of literature of Freys syndrome in children, we conclude that there may be a congenital defect in the auriculotemporal nerve innervation responsible for cases occuring in children.

Pseudoatrophoderma colli is a symptomless, persistent, persistent, pigmentary disorder involving the neck and upper thorax first described by Becker and Muir in. 1934 The lesion is usually localized to the neck and upper part of the thorax. It consists of macules or papules which show pigmentation or papules which show pigmentation or depigmentation and look atrophic. Histological examination shows hyperkeratosis, hypogranulosis, focal acanthosis and perivascular lymphocytic infiltration. We present herein a case of pseudoatrophoderma colli which showed symptomless, mottled, pigmentated macules involving the neck clinically and compatible findings histopathologically.

An 8-year-old female has suffered from intense burning with redness and increased temperature of the feet and hands since 5-year-old. We observed increase of the skin temperature in relation of pain attack by the digital thermometer and the color television thermography. No specific abnormalities were noted in the laboratory studies. Treatment with various systemic and topical medication revealed of unfavorable result, but for the conservative mangement, the pain was relieved by the exposure to the cold environment-laying bare in the outdoors and the wind of the electric fan.

We present herein 3 cases of early secondary syphilis with simultaneous primary syphilitic lesions. These cases developed primary syphilitic lesions four to six weeks after sexual contact and lasted six to ten weeks thereafter until the secondary syphilitic lesions appeared. All three patients showed a strong positive for the STS. Spirochetes were seen under dark field examination of the primary syphilitic lesions, Histopathologically, numerous plasma cells around capillaries and endothelial hyperplasia were seen in the dermis.

DNA pyrosequencing, one of the advanced methods for DNA sequencing, has been employed for phylogenetic analysis of bacterial communities using the conserved 16S rRNA gene. We performed a pilot study on a mother-neonate pair utilizing the DNA pyrosequencing assays to investigate the diversity of microbial communities in maternal amniotic fluid (AF), vagina, and rectum and newborn gastric fluid (GF) and stool. Phylum level analysis revealed that bacterial community was dominated by Firmicutes (63.2%) in maternal feces, and Actinobacteria (84.9%) in maternal vaginal swab. The bacterial communities in both the AF and GF were dominated by Proteobacteria (67.8%). Interestingly, the bacterial community in the newborn's meconium was quite similar to that in the AF. However, the composition of the bacterial community in newborn's feces was different on day 14 and dominated by Firmicutes (91.1%). Genus-level analysis revealed that the bacterial community in maternal feces was dominated by Anaerococcus (19.5%) and Prevotella (18.7%), whereas that in the maternal vaginal swab was dominated by Atopobium (83.6%). The bacterial communities in both the AF and GF were dominated by Sphingomonas (38.5%). The bacterial community in the newborn's meconium was quite similar to that in the AF, which was dominated by Sphingomonas (45.2%). However, the composition of bacterial community in the newborn's feces on day 14 was relatively different. Future studies with a large number of infants are needed to determine the factors involved in the changing profile of newborn's fecal bacterial communities.

We are reporting a case of 25-year-old male patient with elastosis perforance serpiginosa who showed multipte serpiginous plaques on his neck. Some of the lesions showed hypopigmented, hard, scar-tissue like plaques in the central part. Histologic examination showed hyperplasia and transepidermal elimination of elastic tissue. By electron microscopy, also, we could prove that the elastic fibers were increased in the dermis.
