Livedo reticularis is a mottled bluish discoloration of the skin which occurs in a netlike pattern and is not a diagnosis in itself, but is a nonspecific reaction pattern. It may be classified as idiopathic and secondary livedo reticularis. Decompression sickness can occur during decompression after diving into deep sea water or during a rapiid ascent from sea level, and is one of the many causes of the secondary livedo reticularis. We report a case of livedo reticulris which developed in a patient with decompression sickness. A biopsy from the purpuric patch revealed an unusual histopathologic finding that resembles those of bullae and sweat gland necrosis in drug induced coma.

We herein report a case of transient acrodermatitis enteropathica in a 3-month-old, breast-fed, full-term infant. The patient was presented with a 2-month history of diarrhea and crusted erythema- tous patches on the periorificial area. Similar lesions were seen in his siblings. His serum zinc level and the zinc level in his mother's breast milk were markedly reduced. Diarrhea and skin lesions disappeared promptly with oral zinc supplementation and did not recur when zinc was discontinued after three weeks. Our case indicates that even full-term infants, who feed excl-usively on mothers milk, run a risk of developing zinc deficiency, if the concentration of zinc in the breast milk is very low.

BACKGROUND: The cornified cell envelope (CE) is a unique structure found in the terminal differentiation of the skin. The precursor proteins of the CE are composed of many candidate structural proteins, among which invalucrin and filaggrin are important ones to participate in the complicated process of forming, the complex structure. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of expression of involucrin and filaggrin as markers of terminal differentiation in various skin disorders including tumors. METHODS: Immunohistochemical studies were performed in the formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded skin samples of non-tumors (41 cases) and tumors (43 cases).

A 24-year Korean woman presented with bizarre pigmentary skin changes. Eruptive vellus hair cysts (EVHC) were observed in conjunction with Hypomelanosis of Ito (HI). Also, the karyotype of 45XO with typical clinical symptoms of Turner's syndrome was detected in this patient, which has been rarely reported in HI as a chromosomal defect. EVHC may manifest as a rare skin manifestation of Hl.

Viru-Merz® ointment,1% tromantadine hydrochloride, is a topical antiviral agent used for recurrent herpes simplex. There are many reported cases of contact dermatitis by tromantadine.But erythema multiforme-like eruptions in association with Viru-Merz® Ointment has not been reported. A 31-year-old woman, who applied Viru-Merz® ointment for a recurrent herpes simplex labialis, developed an allergic contact dermatitis. Erythema multiforme like eruptions with typical target feature followed around the eczematous lesions on the face, and spread progressively on the neck and trunk. A patch test revealed positive reaction to Viru-Merz® ointment.

We report a case of a 40-year-old man with a traumatic epidermal cyst on the lateral malleolus. It was unusual that the cyst contained glass pieces as a foreign body, which did not induce foreign body reaction in both clinical and histopathological aspects. To our best knowledge, this is the first case of an epidermal cyst to manifest as a foreign body cyst containing glass pieces in cystic contents.
