We herein present two cases of angioleiomyoma with unusual location and number of cutaneous lesion. One was 58-year-old male who has two small peasized nodules on the left palm and volar aspect of the left fifth finger. The other was 63-year-old male with three small pea-sized nodules on the left palm, volar aspect of the left middle finger and the right sole. We confirmed these as angioleiomyoma by clinical and histopathological findings.

Sixty-one cases in which the diagnosis of epithelial cysts had been made studied. The data were collected from our own clinical records and a review of all histopathologic slides of epithelial aysts that had been filed at Departrnent of Dermatology, Chosun University Hospita.l during the past g years from July, 1979 to June, 1984. The results were as follows: 1) Among the 61 cases of epithelial cysts, 41 cases were epidermal cysts, 10 cases of milia, 7 cases of steatocystoma. multiplex, 2 cases of pilar cysts and 1 case of eruptive vellus hair cyst. 2) The average age of these patients was third decade. 3) The commonest site of epidermal cyst and milium was face. Two cases of pilar cyst occurred only on the scalp. Fteatocystoma multiplex was developed on the several sites, but not on the scalp and scrotum, 4) The average diameter was 6. 5 mm for epidermal cyst, p 6 mm for milium, 3 1 mm for steatocystoma multiplex and 17 mm for pilar cyst.

Sixty cutaneous tumors of different types were investigated by means of immunoperoxidase technique(avidin-biotm-peroxidase complex method) with the use of antikeratin antibody. The results were as follows: 1. Squamous cell carcinomas, keratoacanthomas, and Bowen's disease exhibited strong reactivity with antikeratin antibody. 2. In squamous cell carcinomas and keratoacanthomas, the most heaviest staining patterns were detected in areas of keratinization and horn pearl formation. 3. Basal cell carcinomas and seborrheic keratosis were moderately stained, whereas Paget'a disease and metastatic carcinoma(oat cell carcinoma) did not contain keratin. 4. In some cases of basal cell carcinomas, the tumor cells were partially positive. 5. Malignant melanomas, nevi, malignant.lymphomas, neural tumors, hemangiomas, and dermatofibromas were uniformly negative.

This mycological and cultural investigation was made in 86 cases of onychomycosis diagnosed on positive KOH wet mount at Chosun University Hospital from October, 1989 to February, 1990. The results were as follows : l. The ratio of male to female was 1.2:1. According to Zaiass classificat.ion, distal subungual onychomycosis (DSO) was the most predominant type(79 cases) and others, in decreasing frequency, were superficial white onychomycosis (SWO) (Fcases), total dyst,rophic onychomycosis (TDO) (1 cases, and proximal subungual onychomycosis (PSO) was not. found. 2. In DSO, isolat,ed fungi were T. mentagrophyte(31 cases), "i'. rubrum(23 c

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1986;24(2):326-329
We report a case of granular cell tumor in a 62-year- old female. She had a 1. 5 cm sized, asymptomatic, firm nodule with central depression on the lateral aspect cf the left orbit. Histologically, the dermis had many large, pale tumor cells arranged in clusters and strands. The cells had a distinct cellular membrane and a pale cytoplasm filled with faintly eosiinophilic,coarse granules. The characteristic faint granules within the tumor cells are PAS-positive and diastase-resistant. The overlying epidermiis showed pseudocarcinomatous hyperplasia. We treated it with total excision.

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer, but it rarely metastasizes. Metastatic basal cell carcinoma (MBCC) is rare in terms of incidence as well as absolute numbers. We present a case of 67-year-old woman who had a dirty oozing, ulcerated, tumor mass on the vertex and suffered from dyspnea and mild lumbago. The diagnosis of MBCC was based on clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings. To our knowledge, the occurrence of MBCC has not been reported in the Korean literatures. So we reported herein this case of MBCC of the lung and the bone.

We report an atypieal case of xanthoma without evidence of underlying disease, A 50-year-old asymptomatic, yellowish, flat plaques on the upper eyelids, trunk and thighs, and huge, deep-seated tumors on anterior aspect of the neck, back and ankle areas of 3 years duration. Biopsies were performed at the lesions of the neck and hack. Two biopsy specimens showed the same findings of xanthoma, respectively. The appearance of refrigerated serum was clear. Paper electrophoresis didn't show elevation of any lipoprotein, suggesting normolipoproteinemia.

9.A Case of Subepidermal Calcified Nodules Showing An Unusual Clinical Manifestation.

Subepidermal calcified nodules, consisting of solitary circumscribed deposits of insoluble calcium within the subepidermis, have generally been assumed to be idiopathic. As the disease is not associated with any systemic or cutaneous diseases, or any biochemical abnormalities, the pathogenesis is still unexplained, and it is thought to be a definite entity with only a characteristic histopathology. We report a 36-year-old female who has had subepidermal calcified nodules on both upper eyelids symmetrically for about 20 years. It is interesting that the lesions have xanthelasma-like appearance and are associated with syringomas. Excisional biopsy showed typical histopathologic and histochemical features of the sub epidermal calcified nodules.

A 35-year-old female patient had a cyst-Jike swelling for one month on the right scaphoid fossa and antihelix of the auricle. Histopathologically, cystic cavity was located in lower dermis and cavity roof was composed of fibrous material without cartilagenous structure. Treatrment consisted of incision and drainage and subsequently rnastoidectomy dressing for one week. One month after treatment, recurrence of lesion was not found.
