Many investigators were interested in the pathogenesis and the relationship between microscopical features and clinical behavior of hydatidiform mole. Trophoblastic cells in the trophoblastic disease were intensively examined histologically, ultrastructurally, immunohistochemically, and with hormone assay method, etc. But ultrastructural study on the stroma of hydatidiform mole was scarcely reported. In this paper, hydatidiform mole was examined at light and electron microscopic levels, with emphasis on the stroma. The results were as follows: 1) Hydropic degeneration of H-mole is more severe in the center of stroma and is not related with the degree of trophoblastic proliferation. Hofbauer cell and vascular structure are extremely rarely observed in the periphery of stroma which has relatively preserved cellular components. 2) Basement membrane is sometimes separated from trophoblastic layer. Degenerated cells in the stroma contain vacuoles, autophagosomes, and lipid droplets. Collagen is abundant in the loose interstitium. Hofbauer cells have no lysosome or phagosome. Vascular lumen is patient and endothelial cells are degenerated. From the above results, H-mole may be produced due to abnormal changes of trophoblasts and stromal changes may be a secondary process, so called autolysis. Hofbauer cells are not engaged in the stromal degeneration and may be different from usual tissue macrophages.

The clinical and histopathologic study of 26 cases with tsutsugamushi disease seen at the Department of Derrnatology, Kosin Medical Center, Pusan, Korea from October 1986 to December 1988 was performed. The results were summarized as follows : 1. Age distribution was from 12 to 73 years and male to female ratio was 1: 1.2 (1P, males 14 females). 2. The disease occurred from September to December in a year. The peak incidence was in October (61.5%). 3. Major clinical manifestations were as follows : Chill, fever and headache (100 %), maculopapular eruption (90.2%), eschar (88.5%) and myalgia (84.6%). 4. Eschars were distributed on the abdomen (34.8%), chest (30.4%), leg (7.4%) and ot.her sites. 5. Histopathologic findings of the erythernatous macules in 24 patients showed epiderrnal changes including exocytosis of rnononuclear cells (66.7%), liquefaction degeneration of basal cells (54.2%), spongiosis (33.3%) and epidermal cell necrosis (29.2%). Dermal changes revealed vascular dilatation and perivascular infiltration of rnononuclear cells (100%), extravasated RBC (50%), and edema of papillary dermis (45.8%). Epidermal changes around the eschar were liquefaction degeneration of basal cells (52.2%), spongiosis (43.5%) and exocytosis of mononuclear cells (30.4%). Dermal changes included vascular dilatation and perivascular mononuclear cell infiltration (100%), vessel wall necrosis (73.9%), ederna of papillary dermis (65.2%) and endothelial cell swelling (65.2%).

We report a case of Wells' syndrome consisting chiefly of papular, vesicular, pustular and vegetative lesions on the trunk, lower extremities and palms in a 48-year-old female, though characteristic lesions of this syndrome are known to be cellulitis or urticaria like plaques. Only a few cases with such lesions as ours have been reported until now. Histologic finding showed spongiotic vesicles in the epidermis and diffuse dense infiltration of eosinophils with characteristic flame figures in the dermis. In addition, marked blood eosinophilia was noted. We tried oral prednisolone for 3 weeks, and the skin lesions improved almost completely.
