We report a case of eosinophilic pustular folliculitis in a 18-year-old woman who had numerous mild pruritic erythematous plaques with follicular papules and pustules covering almost her whole body. Histopathologically intrafollicular, perifollicular and perivascular eosinophilic infiltrates were present with mild spongiosis. The blocd eosinophil count was 9%. The patient responded well to systemic administration of corticosteroid and dapsoni.

We report a case of Mondor's disease, or superficial thrombophlebitis of the chest wall, which occured in a 35-year-old female after a mild blunt trauma of the right chest wall. She had 0.3 × 25 cm, firm, tender, bifurcated cord-like lesions on the right chest and upper abdomen for two weeks. The histopathologic findings corresponded to the “thrombus organization” stage of Mondor's disease, characterized by numerous small areas of recanalization with marked surrounding fibrosis. The patient was treated with non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs and warm compresses. Within 7 weeks, the cord-like lesions virtually disappeared.

Seborrheic keratosis is a benign epidermal lesion, that commony develops in the aged. It exhibits a remarkable spectrum of histologic variations. We evaluated one hundred and one cases of seborrheic keratoses according to the histologie typing by Lever and Schaurnburg-Lever. The most common histologic type was the acanthotic type(50.5%), and the next. most common one was hyperkeratotic type(33.7%). The rest of the caces were relatively uncommon, irritated type(6.9%), mixed type(4.9%), clonal type(3.9%), adenoidal type(2.0%), and melanoacanthoma(1.0%). In 2 cases, mixed type was found in a lesion.

A case of contact dermatitis due to herb onintment is described in a 24 year-old female patient. After topical application of herb ointment, she developed erythematous papules and plaques on the face and neck. Patch test revealed positive reactions to ammoniated mercury, thimerosal, and the herb ointment. Energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis of the herb ointment showed a striking peak for mercury.

Lymphomatous involvement of the heart, occurring at initial diagnosis and presentation, is extremely rare. We report here a case of 58 year old man who presented with generalized edema, pericardial effusion, and a large right atrial mass detected by transesophageal echocardiography. There is no other evidence of disseminated lymphoma in this patient. Tumor removal and pulmonary embolectomy was done. Pathologically, the mass was malignant lymphoma, diffuse large cell type. Unfortunately, we have no chance to perform the intensive chemotherapy. The patient discharged in moribund state.
