Majocchi's granuloma is well recognized but uncommon infection of dermal and subcutaneous tissue by fungal organisms usually limited to the superficial epidermis. The organism most commonly associated with Majocchi's granuloma is Trichophyton(T.) rubrum, however, other dermatophytes may be the causative agent. A 44-year-old male patient presented with a 6 month history of two well defined erythematous nodular plaques on his right jaw and preauricular area. Histopathologic findings were consistent with the Majocchi's granuloma, showing perifolliculitis and granulomatous inflammation in the dermis. Many fungal elements were noted within the giant cells of the perifollicular dermis of PAS stained section. T. rubrum was cultured from the biopsy specimen and confirmed by slide culture. After 10 weeks of terbinafine (Lamisil(R)) therapy (250 mg/day), lesions were cleared with mild erythematous patches and atrophic scars.

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas is characterized by cystic dilatation of the pancreatic duct, excessive mucin production, and papillary growth of the tumor. Occasionally, it forms a fistula into other organs. Because of the higher malignant potential of the main duct type IPMN compared to the branch duct type, patients with main duct type IPMN usually undergo surgical treatment and the natural history of the main duct type IPMN is not commonly observed in clinical practice. An 84-year-old woman was diagnosed with main duct type IPMN of pancreas, but she refused operative treatment. Seven years later she was admitted by chance for another disease, and then referred to our gastrointestinal department. We think this case can give us an insight of the natural course of the main duct type IPMN.

Although reports of hypoplasia or absence of the liver of left lobe are not few, descriptions of the intrahepatic vessels are rare but valuable for discussion of the pathogenesis. The present report demonstrates a case of the left surgical lobe hypoplasia that is characterized by 1) the scar-like lobe with few parenchymal tissue and dilated bile ducts, 2) no Spiegel's lobe with the portal vein stuck to the inferior vena cava, 3) unusual configurations of the right hepatic vein and the 8th segmental portal vein branch, 4) the hepatic groove on S8, and 5) the trifurcation pattern of the portal vein primary division. According to the macroscopic and histological observations, we hypothesized that the secondary abnormal peritoneal fusion occurred in utero and/or during the postnatal growth, and that it involved the left portal vein and other adjacent structures, resulting in severe atrophy of the left surgical lobe.
