Occult syringoma means a clinically inapparent tumor of the swea gland that are histologically similar but not identical with the common syringoma. They may occur in a variety of inflammatory skin lesions and cutaneous neoplaams as a reactive process. We report herein a case of diffuse alopecia areata associated with occult syringoma in the scalp of a 57-year-old man. Our patient developed progressive, fairly well circ amscribed patches of alopecia and diffuse hair loss over a 1 month period. Histopathological examinaiion revealed non-scaring alopecia and a proliferation of eccrine ductal structures in the upper dermis. These ductal structures resembled syringoma. Only minimal focal fibrosis was occasionally observed arcund the hair follicles. We believe that occult syringona is a reactive process and is secondary to active inflarnmation or dermal fibrosis. It has been most commonly observed in scarring alobiecias but plays no significant role in the etiology of hair loss.

A 24-year-old man with tuberculosis meningitis developed acute paraplegia and sensory disturbances 5 weeks after receiving conventional antituberculous therapy. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an intradural extramedullary long segmental mass mimicking en plaque meningioma at the T2-T6 vertebrae levels. Prompt surgical decompression was performed. A histology examination of the mass revealed a tuberculoma. After surgery, the patient showed improved motor power and a normal bladder function. Intradural extramedullary tuberculoma of the spinal cord is rare complication of tuberculosis meningitis, which can occur as a response to conventional antituberculous therapy.

Subungual exostosis is a bony outgrowth occuring on the distal phalanx beneath the nail. This report concerns a case of subungual exostosis, accompanied with overlying myrmecia which developed in a 18-years-old man. Confirmatory X-ray showed a bony exostosis arising from the dorso-medial aspect of the distal end of the distal phalanx of the right great toe. The purpose of this artiicle is to direct attention to subungual existosis, the diagnosis of which may often be unsuspected in dermatology
