l6-year-old male and 48-year-old female with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and renal disease presented with vesiculobullous eruptions during severe attack of the disease. They showed hypocomplementernia, and high ANA titers. Histopathologic findings revealed subepidermal blister and leukocytoclastic vasculitis, Direct immunofluorescence demonstratedlinear deposits of IgG, IgA and lgM at the dermoepidermal junction. The vesiculobullous eruption of SLE may be an important marker reflecting disease activity and prognosis.

We have experienced a case of neurofibromatosis with unusual giant pigmentation, which presents itself as a 28 cm x 40 cm sized, serrated bordered light brownish patch speckled with small dark hyperpigmented macules on his back. Histopathologic examinations of light brown patch and speckles showed only an increase in basal melanin pigmentation.

We report herein a case of eosinophilic pustular follicultis in a 20-year-old man. The patient showed typical clinical picture with specific laboratory and histopathological findings of eosinophilic pustular folliculitis. The patient responded well to systemic administration of corticosteroid and dapsone.

Rhabdomyosarcoma which was first described by Weber has generally been considered asan uncommon tumor. Pack and Eberhart were of the opinion that rhabdomyosarcoma represented 13.9 percent of soft tissue sarcomata. Recently it was classified as four types such as pleomorphic, embryonal, botryoid and alveolar type by many authors. We have experienced two cases of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, one arised within left leg and the other within right foot. The former(3 months old, female) showed tumor mass at birth, the latter(13 months old, male) showed at 1 month after birth.

Although vitiligo is a common disorder with well-known clinical features, its etiology is still vague. It has been suggested that immunologic factors are important in the pathophysiology of vitiligo. And the association of HLA antigens with vitiligo has been reported. Authors examined HLA phenotypes in thirty-nine patients, T lymphocytes in thirty- three patients, B lymphocytes in thirty-one patients, and quantitation of IgG, IgA, IgM and IEP(immunoelectrophoresis) in twenty-five patients with vitiligo in this study. T3 and T4 were investigated in twelve patients, CBC in thirty-nine and urinalysis in thirty-five patients with vitiligo for screening of associated diseases ; thyroid disease, anemia and diabetes mellitus. The results are as follows; The frequency of HLA A9, Bw15 and Bw22 was significantly decreased in vitiligo patients compared to control group(p=0. 003, 0. 02, 0. OR) 2. There were no significant differences in the results of total and active lymphocytes and B lymphocytes in vitiligo patients compared to the control group. The results of quantitation of IgG, IgA, IgM and IEP showed within normal lirnits except one, an increased IgG, 2,200rng/100ml (normal: 500 1,500) and polyclonal gammopathy. 4. Among twelve vitiligo patients, one showed increased TR, 355ng/100ml (normal: 80 220) and T4, 17. 3pg/100ml (normal: 5 13). 5. CBC and urinalysis were within normal limits in all patients.
