Eccrine nevus is an unusual entity with various clinical manifestations. Histologically the eccrine apparatus appears simply increased in number and/or size, but structurally normal. We present a case of eccrine nevus on the dorsum of the left 3rd and 4th fingers in a 20 year-old female. The lesions were 3 × 2cm sized, well demarcated, smooth surfaced, brownish plaques with mild hyperhidrosis. Histological examination revealed hyperkeratosis in the stratum corneum and hyperpigmentation of basal layer, and an increased number of eccrine sweat glands and many eccrine coils in the dermis was seen.

Langerhans sell bistiocytosis(LCH) is a reactive disease in which abnomal Langerhans cells accurnulate in various body sites and cause damage to affected organs. LCH usually occurs in childrea bur can also affect adults although rarely. LCH in a case of 65-year-old man initially involwed the lymph nodes (left supraclacicular and right inguinal area) and pelvis bone, and eight months later curancous involvement was noted. The skin lesions were waxy from the waxy papules showed that the dense infiltrate, ptedominantly of histiocytes, was present in the dermis, Immunohistochemistry for S-100 protein showed positive staining snd electron miscoroscopy disclosed Birbeck granules, which is characteristic findings of Langerhans cells.
