Clinically, the transformation of morphea to scleroderma is rare. We report a case suggested acroselerosis transformed from guttate morphea. Patient was 30-year old woman who had generalized bean-sized depigmented macules except face since early childhood. About one year ago, Raynauds phenomenon, edema and sclerotic change of the both hands and feet were developed. On the laboratory findings, there were positive reaction for rheumatoid factor and antinauclear antibody test and increase of erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Histopathologically, there were even increased collagen fibers, atherosclerotic change of the vessels and atrophic sweat glands.

We experienced four cases of sporotrichosis including three lymphocutaneous type and one fixed cutaueous type. Case 1 was a 6-year old child, affected over the right chin. Case 2 was a 31-year old housewife, affected over the right forearm, Case 3 was a 53-year old housewife, affected over the right forearm and dorsum of right hand. Case 4 was a 19-year old student, affected over the left forearm. Histopathologically, chronic granulomatous inflammation with the neutrophilic ivfiltration and/or central suppuration were observed. Mycologically, typical colonies with moist, wrinkled and rnembraneous surface were cultured except in case 3. All patients were completly cured by oral administration of low dosage of potassium iodide(63. R-lllg) in a short period (50~86 days).

A 47 year-old woman with generalized fresh tense or ruptured bullae was diagnosed as bullaus pemphigoid by histopathological and direct immunofluorescent test. We treated her with prednisolone and bethamethasone for 3 weeks. And soon after, herpes zoster developed along the right T9 dermatome. It is not precise whether true association or only incidental concomitance, but, there may be present some relatioship.

Xeroderma pigmentosurn is a photosensitive hereditary disorder and especially rare in Korea. A 30-year old male patient had been suffered from walnut sized tumor and several ulcerated papules on the face, and scattered brownish macules on the sun-exposed area. Clinical features and histopathologic findings were consistent with malignant malanoma and basal cell epithelioma developing in a xeroderma pigmentosum respectively. Malignant melanoma was surgically excised.

The prevalence of PPNG among pretreatment isolates at a VD Clinic in Seoul has been studied and reported annually since 1981. In 1987, 649 strains of N. gonorrhoeae were isolated, among which 339(52.2%) were PPNGs. The prevalence of PPNG in Seoul is still increasing.
