Hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola is rare dermatosis that may be divided into three categories: a type of epidermal nevus, a type associated with ichthyosis and a type of nevoid form seen in voung women. A 23-year-old woman was seen for skin lesion involving both nipples. These changes were first noted when the patient was in the sixth month of gestation. Physical examinations revealed papillomatous thickening of both nipples with brownish black discoloration. Histopathological changes were mild hyperkeratosis, keratotic plugging and telangiectasia. It was interesting to note that the skin lesions disappeared spontaneously 7 days after parturition without treatment. A possible correlation between pregnancy and acquired form of this rare skin disorder is suggested.

Generalized varicella-like eruption occurs in 2 to 10 percent of unselected patients with localized zoster, the majority of whom are patients with immunologic defects due to underlying malignanies (particularly rnalignancy of hematopoietic system) or immunosuppressive therapy. A 25-year old male noted onset of pain and burning sensation on the right side of cheet nine days prior to admission. The following day multiple vesicles were noted on right side of the chest. Three day before the admisson erythernatous maculopapules were noted on the abdomen. One day prior to admission vesicular lesions appeared over the entire hody. The patient was treated with topical application of calamin lotion, and with kanamycin and Cephalexin to prevent secondary infection. The secondary vesicles had disappeared by the fifth hospital day, but the initial lesion had not improved. On the fifteenth hosptital day the initia1 lesions has disappeared.

A rare case of idiopathic Hypertrophic Osteoarthropathy is reported, who exhibited all typical clinical features, such as grimmy face with deep furrows, cylindrical enlargement of long bones, clubbing of digits and joint trouble. No underlying cause was detectable, Radiological and pathological investigations are presented and review of references as well.

The hypereosinophilic syndrome consists of peripheral blood eosinophilia of 1500/ mm3 or more without a known cause, plus signs and symptoms of organ eosinophilia. We report a case of hypereosnophilic syndrome with cutaneous manifestation. A 31 year-old female had intermittent fever, sbdominal pain, anemia, systolic murmur, hepatosplenomegaly, cheat discomfort, dry cough without rales, and skin-colored wheal on the trunk. Diagnoais of hypereosinophilic syndrome wss established by clinical findings, marked blood eosinophilia without a known cause, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, liver scan, and histopsthologic findings of the skin.

We investigated on how the nature of vehicles influenced on the efficacy of mo isturizer s, cutaneous hydrat,ion, physical property and roughness. Hydration was measured with corneometer, physical property with fermometer, and mughness with image analyser. Used vehicles were as follows : hydrous gel, vater in oil(W/0) emulsion, oil in water(0/W) emulsion. I.Jsed moisturizers were as follows . glycerine, polypeptide and sodium lactat,e, hyaluronic acid-triethanolamine, sodium lactate, pvopylene glycol, The results are summarized as follows : 1. The increment of the hydration effect according to vehicles was in this order. C/ W emulsion, W/0 emulsion, hydrous gel(After 2 hours). 2. The increment of extensibility as physical property was correlated to the in crcment, of hydration effcet(r=0.924). 3. It was shown that, the roughness was decreased after treatment of all mo isturizers except propylene glycol but, there was not significant st.atistically and alsa was no meaningful difference among the vehicles. 4. Among t,he moisturizers, glycerine was superior to other moisturizers on the hydration effect and extensihility. We conclude that 0/W emulsion was suitable vehicle on cutaneous hydration effect and hydration effect is proportion to the increment of flexibility.
