A case of scabies combined with superficial dermatophytosis which was aggravated by application of topical fluorinated steroid for 6 months is presented. One year ago a 60-year-old male began to have pruritic erythematous papules on the lower abdomen which spread slowly to the inguinal and buttock area. He had had onychomycosis for six years and for the last 6 months he had applied a. fluorinated steroid. preparation. After application of steroid, the aggravated skin lesions spread rapidly over the whole body. A KOH mount showed sarcoptes scabiei and fungus. A count of itch mites from scales brushed off and collected from. the overall surface of the patients body showed 263 adults, 169 Iarvae and 534 eggs. T. rubrum from a culture of scales from the trunk and nails was confirmed. On admission FBS and oral GTT test revealed diabetic curve, however it could not be determined whether the diabetes mellitus was primary or secondary to the use of topical steroid application. The patient has been treated with crotamiton cream and antifungal agent with remarkably effective results.

Solar urticaria is a fairly uncommon but Well recognized clinical entity characterized by erythema and wheal with itching immediately following exposure to sunlight or artifical radiation. A 33-year-old female had a six-year duration of urticaria, tightness of chest and dizziness that appeared within 15 minutes of exposure to sunlight. The action spectrum of this patient was between 320 and 400nm and the passive and reverse passive transfer test were negative. Solar urticaria of our patient appeared to belong to type g in the classification of Harber et al(1963). The patient was treated with antihistamines and repeated exposure to sunlight for inducing tolerance. After 3 months of the treatment, the symptoms did not appear even after 3 hours of exposure to sunlight.

Annular pustular psoriasis is a rare variant of the generalized pustular psoriasis characterized by annular lesions with rapidly evolving pustules, associated mild toxicity, and rapid response to therapy. We present a case of annular pustular psoriasis in a 17-year-old male, in whom no previous history of psoriasis was found. The skin lesions were characterized clinically by annular to gyrate erythematous lesions with pinpoint pustules near the periphery on both shoulders, upper arms, and back areas. The histology showed large intraepidermal spongiform pustules. Most of the skin lesions disappeared within 1 week with topical corticosteroid cream.

Perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens is a rare chronic recalcitrant follicular disorder which clinically presents itself as pulstules, nodules, intercommunicating abscess and sinuses that leave atrophic, hypertrophic or keloidal scars. Although the etiology of this of condition is unknown, its association with acne conglobata and hidradenitis suppurativa, collectively termed the follicular occlusion triad, suggest a cammon basic pathogenic mechanism of follicular retention. The therapeutic problem is reflected in the variety of therapies that have been tried with varying degrees of success. We report a case of a 34-year-old man who showed a patch of alopecia on the vertex of his scalp. Clinically, the scalp showed multiple soft fluctuant elevated nodules with nonscarring alopecic patches. We performed a treatment with isotretinoin(13-cis-retinoic acid) during 6 months. The patients clinical appearance was much improved and local recurrence and hair loss have not been observed to date.

Although extrahepatic metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma are frequent as about 64%, implants involving the peritoneum are rare. We presented a cases, whieh is hepatocellular carcinoma with metastasis to visceral peritoneum revealing multiple, hard, variable-sized and nodular mass including large mass over 10 cm in size. The presence of tumor was diagnosed by serum alpha fetoprotein, abdaminal CT, celiac and SMA angiography and biopsy with laparoscopy.
