Bart's syndrome was initially described as a genodermatosis characterized by congenital localized absence of the skin with blistering and nail deformities 1-3. However, it is considered as any type of epidermolysis bullosa(EB) with localized congenital absence of the skin on the extremities. A 33-day-old fbmale baby was presented with congenital absence of the skin over the left shin and dorsa of both feet which were covered with the thin, translucent, and brown-red glistening membranes. Blistering of the right calf and left great toe nail deformity were also noted. She was diagnosed as a recessive dystrophic EB by the histopathological, ultra- structural and immunomapping studies.

Impetigo herpetiformis is a rare pustular eruption that may be seen in late pregnancy. It is associated with severe maternal and fetal complications in case of misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. The patient was a 25-years-old multigravida with psoriasis in her past history. At 20weeks gestation, she had been developed erythematous scaly annular patchs with papules and pustules on inner thigh. At 37weeks' gestation, the patient was suffered from a severely pruritic pustular rash with fever and leukocytosis. The skin of the affected areas was biopsied and showed intraepidermal pustular abscess with a neutrophilic infiltrate. Treatment commenced with intravenous fluids, antibiotics, systemic prednisone, steroid creams, and phototherapy(UVB) under the careful fetal well being monitoring. Cesarean section was done due to fetal distress, and a normal healthy male infant was delivered, following which the patient's condition improved rapidly.

The incidence of the cutaneous tuberculosis has shown a steady decline over the past decades. This parallels the decreasing incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. We experienced 5 cases of cutaneous tuberculosis from January 1990 to February 1991. We present herein 4 cases of cutaneous tuberculosis. They were 3 cases of vulgaris and 1 case of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis. Mantoux tests were done except one case and were reactive in all cases. Culture for Mycobacterium tuberculosis were done but Mycobacterium tuberculosis were not cultivated in the all cases. Histopathological findings showed tuberculoid granulomas in the dermis except one case and no acid fast bacilli were demonstrated on AFB stains.

Bone tumor in the trochanteric area is not infrequent and it is important to differentiate the tumors in this area for diagnosis, early settings of therapeutic plans and prognostic previsions. Twenty-one cases of benign bone tumors in the trochanteric area treated at Dept. of Orthopedi Surgery, College of Medicine, Ewha Womans University Hospital, from January 1975 to December 1983 were analysed and following results were obtained. l. of 21 cases, 10 cases were fibrous dysplasia, 6 cases were simple bone cyst, 3 were giant ce tumor and 2 were aneurysmal bone cyst. 2. Pathologic fractures were accompanied in 6 cases; 3 of fibrous dysplasia, 2 of simple bone cy: and 1 of aneurysmal bone cyst. 3. After treatment with curettage, bone graft and instrumentation, 3 cases recurred; 2 cases of fibrous dysplasia and 1 of simple bone cyst. 4. As prognostic factors, completeness of curettage, amount and source of bone graft were considered to be important.
