Amelanotic melanoma is a subtype of malignant melanoma that lacks clinically visible pigmentation. The absence of recognizable pigmentation obscures the clinical hallmark of the more typical form of malignant melanoma. Because it mimics various non-pigmented benign and malignant skin diseases, clinicians have difficulty diagnosing this lesion. An incorrect or delayed diagnosis can result in a worse outcome because the prognosis of melanoma depends on the tumor thickness and tissue invasion at the time of diagnosis. Therefore, early diagnosis is crucial for treating amelanotic melanoma. Dermoscopy is a useful non-invasive technique for diagnosing not only pigmented skin lesions, but also non-pigmented skin lesions because this modality can visualize vascular structures that are not discernible to the naked eye. Analyzing the dermoscopic vascular structures of amelanotic melanoma helps make an early diagnosis. We report here on a case of amelanotic melanoma for which the diagnosis was aided by performing dermoscopy as an adjuvant tool.

LEOPARD syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited disease with multiple congenital anomalies. LEOPARD is an acronym for Lentigines, Electrocardiographic conduction defects, Ocular hypertelorism, Pulmonary stenosis, Abnormalities of the genitalia, Retardation of growth, and Deafness. The disorder is caused by mutations in the PTPN11 gene or RAF1 gene. Here we report two typical cases of LEOPARD syndrome with lentigines, electrocardiograph abnormality, ocular hypertelorism which were proven to be the results of genetic mutations. Moreover, one 12-year-old boy showed growth retardation, deficiency in testosterone; the other 5-year-old girl had undergone implantation of a cochlear device and was diagnosed as having hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which has been managed with a beta blocker. Each patient showed a PTPN11 gene mutation: Thr468Met in exon 12 and Tyr279Cys in exon 7, respectively.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute, systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology that occurs predominantly in infants and young children. The diagnosis of KD is based on the presence of fever lasting longer than 5 days and at least other four of the five clinical criteria. Patients with incomplete presentations of KD have a higher complication rate which is likely related with delayed diagnosis and treatment. We report the first Korean case of incomplete KD in which cutaneous change on a previous BCG vaccination site play an important role as a diagnostic clue.
