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.

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.

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.

Median raphe cyst is not a cornmon disease and represents a defect in the embryologic development of male genitalia. It occurs most commonly near the glans penis, but may occur anywhere from the urethral meatus to the anus, and is lined by entodermal or ectodermal epithelium. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Recently we observed a 29-year-old male patient who had had a typical median raphe cyst since childhood on the ventral aspect of the glans penis. On histological examination, the cyst was lined by stratified columnar epithelium varied from four to eight cells in thickness.
