Type V hyperlipoproteinemia result from the accumulation of trglyceride(TG)-rich lipoproteins, very low density lipoprotein(VLDL), and chylomicrons. A 53-year old woman has showed asmptomatic, yellowish patches on tie palms and eyelids and papules on the knees with various types of xanthoma including xanthelasma palpebraum, xanthoma striatum palmare, anrl nonspecific papular xanthoma. The blood chemistry revealed a marked elevation of cholesterol and TG, and lipoprotein electrophoresis showed fasting chylomicronemia, prep-b and b-band, On histologic studies, typical foam cells were shown.

We report a case of amelanotic melanoma(AMM) in a 53-year-old man who presented a single, 1.5×1.5cm sized, well-demarcated, bright red nodule with erosion on the right heel for 9 months. Histopathologic findings showed irregular junctional activity in the epidermal-dermal junction and alveolar formation in the dermis. The majority of the tumor cells were seen as bizarre and giant cell of epithelioid type with atypical mitotic figure. We could not find melanin pigment in H & E stain.

The fatty hamartoma of pericardium is characterized by abnormal accumulations of adipose tissue forming a recognizable mass. We reported a case that could best be put into "fatty hamartoma" group. This 66 year old male presented with atrial fibrillation came in for a anterior mediastinal mass. He received an operation for adenocarcinoma of ascending colon several months ago. The chest CT revealed an inhomogeneous mass in the right anterior mediastinal area, which was not clearly demarcated from the right cardiac border. The heart was deviated to the left side due to the mass. Surgical excision was performed under the impression of cardiac teratoma. The large mass was well encapsulated, and was bright yellow and partly pink, and measured 12x8 cm. Microscopically, the mass consisted predominantly of mature fat cells and abundant fibrous tissue with scattered nests of primitive cardiac muscle cells. Reviewing the literature we found the term "fatty hamartoma" could also refer to rhabdomyolipoma or fibrolipoma. Since it contains entrapped cardiac muscle cells, abundant fibrous tissue, multiple blood vessels and fetal fat cells, it could best the categorized into "hamartoma". The term "fatty" represents it's main component. Therefore we propose the term "fatty hamartoma" that could to be used further.

We report a case of soft fibroma occured in a 27-year-old female. The lesion was multiple, pea-to walnut-sized, baglike, pedunculated growth on the vulva. The histopathologic findings of excisional biopsy specimen evaled a slightly t.hinned epidermis and loosely arranged collagen fibers in the dermis.

Tego (dodecylic aminoethyl glycine HCl) is an antiseptic detergent used abroad in hospitals, food industries, public baths, and for cleaning machinery. Allergic contact dermatitis may occur in hospital operating-room personnel, swimming instructors, and deep-sea divers. We present two cases of allergic contact dermatitis to Tego in two siblings after dressing the accidental abrasion with Tego . The patch test results showed a strong positive reaction to 0.1% Tego.

Cutaneous metastatic tumors on the scalp from the rectum are very A 66-year-old male presented a nodule and papule an his scalp three months after surgical removal of a rectal adenocarcinorna. Biopsy specien from the scalp showed adenocarcinoma which is similar to the primary rectal carcinoma.

Atropine is a commonly used eye drug due to the effect of mydrasis and cycloplegia. The true allergic contact dermatitis to atropine is rarely reported. A case of allergic contact dermatitis due to atropine sulfate in a 35-year-old woman was confirmed by the patch test.

Recurrent deformity following hallux valgus surgery can be technically challenging to treat. In cases of revision surgery, a surgical technique with greater corrective power is often chosen compared to the primary surgery. Therefore, minimally invasive surgery is not commonly performed. On the other hand, minimally invasive surgery minimizes soft tissue damage and allows for greater correction of deformity compared to traditional open approaches. This paper reports four cases of recurrent hallux valgus treated with a minimally invasive distal transverse metatarsal osteotomy – Akin osteotomy (MITA), resulting in significant improvements in the clinical and radiographic outcomes.
