Colonization of mammary cancers by melanocytes with heavy pigmentation of cancer cells by melanin can occur very rarely. It is not certain which mechanism operates to achieve this transfer. However, the melanocytes might inject melanin through their dendritic processes or alternatively, the cancer cells phagocytose the terminal parts of the dendritic processes with subsequent dispersal of the contained melanin contained melanin granules. We report a case of infiltrating ductal carcinoma of breast with melanocyte colonization and pigmentation in a 59-year old female.

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty(PTA) were performed in three patients with atherosclerotic stenosis of subclavian arteries. The arteries were successfully dilated without complications during the procedure. All patients were asymptomatic during follow-up periods ranging from eight months to fifteen months after PTA.

Eccrine poromas mainly involve the non-hairy surfaces of the skin, however, have also been found on hair bearing areas. Pigmentation in the tumor cells is rare but has been mentioned in a few papers. The following case documents an example of a pigmented eccrine poroma which occurred in an unusual location; the posterior scalp.

Chordoma is relatively rare and slowly growing tumor arising from notochordal remnant. The tumor is locally infiltrative rather than metastatic. Distant metastasis occured in 5% of Gentil & Coley's cases and 43% of Higinbotham et als cases. Usual sites of metastasis sites were lung, liver adrenal gland and lymph nodes. In 1922, Stewart reported first case of extrapulmonary metastatic chordoma in muscle & subcutaneous layer, which was extremely rare. We have experienced a case of wide spread multiple metastasis to muscle & subcutaneous tissue from primary sacrococcygeal chordoma. The case was 26 years old man, who have had multiple metastatic lesions in trunk, upper & lower extremities. They located in muscle and subcutaneous fat layer. In some lesions neurovascular structure was involved. We have treated the metastatic lesions by complete surgical excision, and they were confirmed as soft tissue chordoma by histologic examination.
