Weber-Christian disease is a relapsing, febrile, nodular, nonsuppurative inflammation of the subcutaneous fat tissue. Many authors reported these cases which illustrate the great variability of the clinical manifestation, such as acute or chronic, fulminating or transient, febrile or non febrile, systemic or cutaneous. Two of our cases have had recurrent painful subeutaneous nodules without fever for several years. Biopsy showed a nonspecific inflammatory panniculitis with lymphocytes chiefly, and small amount of histiocytes and foamy cells. It should be suggested Weber-Christian disease when subcutaneous nodules appear recurrently same areas of the whole body surface except anterior aspects of tibia even if no fever as systemic manifestation. Treatment with steroid and chloroquine diphosphete produced good improvement.

Metaplastic carcinomas (carcinomas with metaplasia) of the breast are difficult to accurately diagnose and classify because of their rarity and varied histologic patterns. Cystic change can be encountered in mammary carcinoma, especially in carcinoma with squamous metaplasia, but are rare in pseudosarcomatous metaplastic carcinoma. We recently experienced a case of pseduosarcomatous metaplastic carcinoma in a 69-year-old female who had an extensive cystic change in radiologic and histopathologic findings. The precise cell type that gives rise to metaplastic carcinomas remains uncertain. Immunohistochemical findings raised the possibility of the myoepithelial nature of the tumor.

To investigate the heterogeneity of fibroblast proliferation rate depending on the depth of dermis in the psoriatic skin lesions, fibroblasts were obtained from the upper and lower dermis of the forearm skin lesions in 9 psoriatir, patients and of the comparable sites in 7 healthy persons respectively, and were cultured. The in vitro proliferation rates of the fibroblasts were calculated by measuring the efficiency af cell attachment, cell numbers on varying days of culture and the population doubling time during the 3rd passage of subculture. The results were as follows: 1, The efficiencies of cell attachment at 24 hours after seeding were not statistically different between the upper derrnal fibroblasts and the lower ones in both psoriatic skin lesions and normal skins. 2. By rneasuring the cell numbers and the population doubling times, the prolifeatior rate of the upper der mal fibroblasts was greater than that of the lower ones in both psoriatic skin lesions and normal skins and that the fibroblastic proliferation rate was significantly inereased in the psoriatic skin lesion compared to the normal skin.
