We report a case of sebaceous hyperplasia showing linear arrangement in a 13-year-old girl. The lesion was found at birth and became prominent gradually. Multiple small discrete yellowish papules were arranged in a linear pattern on the temporal srea of the face. Unusual, incidental histopathologic finding was a sebaceous lobule lying in a dilated infundibular portion, which appeared to represent transfollicular extrusion of sebaceous lobule as a natural phenomenon.

We present herein two cases of acquired periungual fibrokeratoma occuring beneath the proximal nail folds. A firm duplicated and mitten-shaped protruding mass was found on the left middle finger nail of 38-year-old woman and a firm triplicated and finger-shaped protruding mass was found of the left great toe nail of 46-year-old man. The epidermis of the tumors showed compact hyperkeratosis, focal hypergranulosis, and irregular acanthosis. Thick collagen bundles and dilated capillaries were predominantly oriented in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the lesions. There were no adnexal elements and inflammatory cells in the dermis.

We present herein a case of 20 nail onychogryphosis with localized plantar hyper keratosis and cutaneous horns occuring in a 21 year-old schizophrenic female patient. The finger nails were brownish in color and the surface of nail plates has the coarse transverse striations. The nail plates beyond the free edge were thickened and curved inward markedly. The toe nails were dirty grayish in color and the nail plates were thickened markedly and curved like the horn of ram. All the nail plates were seperated and removed from the nail beds without any difficulty and the nail matrices were destroyed by electrodesiccation. Lacalized plantar hyperkeratosis and cutaneous horns were also removed successfully by occlusive dressing with 40% salicylic acid ointment and by surgical excision. Psychogenic disorder and prolonged hygienic indifference could be the most. probable cause in this patient.

We present herein a case of pyodcrma gangrenosum, who showed good response to clofazimine therapy. The patient, 19-year-old male, had suffered from chronic diarrhea for 10 months before the rapidly spreading pustules and ulcers with undermined purple-to-red borders devkloped on his both lower and upper extremitics. Clofazimine was given orally in a dose of 100mg three times daily for 16 days, and tapered to 100 mg two times daily for the next 11 days. Clinical improvement was noted after 7 day's treatment and the almost all of the skin lesiors were replaced by granulation tissue with epithelizatiori or crust formation after 6 days treatment.

A 2-month-old Korean boy presented with a solitary papule on the cheek which was noted at birth. Histopathologic findings were consistent with angiofibroma of fibrous papule of the face (FPF). FPF is known to affect adults, and congenital occurrence has not been reported to the best of our knowledge. We report a case of congenital FPF which showed a facial papule clinically and an angiofibroma histologically.
