Nevus sebaceus of Jadassohn is a hamartoma of the skin with the potential to develop benign and malignant neoplasms. This case was characterixed by multiple basal cell epitheliomas, clinically one reddish nodule and multiple pigmented papules, arising in the nevus sebaceus. Histologically, epithelial papillomatous hyperplasia and high-positioned hyperplastic sebaceous glands were found, and tumor nests consisting of basaloid cells with peripheral palisading arrangements were mainly situated in the upper dermis without significant infiltrative growth. We report a rare case of nevus sebaceus with multiple basal cell epitheliomas in the right cheek of a 49-year-old woman.

Reiters syndrome is an unusual disease characterized a triad of nongonococcal urethritis, conjunctivitis, and arthritis in association with the mircoutaneous lesions of keratoderma blenorrhagica and balarintis circinata. We present herein a case of Reiters syndome combined yiti lung cancer. A 39-year-old man has experienced naigrating polyarthralgia and high fever ilitermittently for about 20 years, Hyperkeratotic erythemnous patches and plaques, which dyeliped about 1 year ago, have aggravated and expanded to the whole body. Histopathologic sections from the plaque on the right forc ari showed characteristic findings including thickened parakeratotic horny layer and spongiform micropustules of Kogoji He was associated with HLA-B27. On the chest X-ray, a thumbtip size mass was incidently found. Chest CT and bone scan findings supported lung cancer and multiele metastases.

Acrokeratoelastoidosis of Costa is a rare palmoplantar keratoderma with autosomal dominant inheritance. It is clinically charaeterized by small, firm, yellowish, shiny, translucent papules occumng over the dorsal hands, the knuckles, and the lateral margine of the palms and soles. Histologically, the characteristic features are hyperkeratosis, aeanthosis, and most strikingly, fragmentation of coarse elastic fibers within the dermis. The lesions usually begin in early childhood and progress slowly. We herein report two familial cases of acrokeratoelastoidosis of Costa showing typical clinic1 and histopathological features.

Terbinafine is now widely used for the treatment of dermatophytic infections of the skin and nails. Cutaneous side effects of terbinafine are rare and mild. They includes erythema, pruritus, urticaria, desqumation, and macular exanthem. In addition, fixed drug eruption, erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and erythema annulare centrifugum-like psoriatic drug eruption were recently described in the literatures. Herein, we reported a case of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis induced by terbinafine.

The epidermal nevus syndrome is a disorder characterized by epidermal nevi and associated neurologic, skeletal, and other abnormalities. A 15-year-old female patient presented with extensive, bilateral systematized, verrucous plaques, involving the face, trunk, both extremities, and anogenital area. The onset of the lesions were at the age of 2 months. Abdominal CT showed the absence of the left kidney, teratoma of the right ovary and left ovarian cyst. This is a case of epidermal nevus syndrome, which was composed of extensive epidermal nevi, congenital solitary kidney, left ovarian cyst and right ovarian teratoma.

A 2-month-old Korean boy presented with a solitary papule on the cheek which was noted at birth. Histopathologic findings were consistent with angiofibroma of fibrous papule of the face (FPF). FPF is known to affect adults, and congenital occurrence has not been reported to the best of our knowledge. We report a case of congenital FPF which showed a facial papule clinically and an angiofibroma histologically.

Plexiform neurofibroma is considered to be pathognomic of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Herein we report a solitary plexiform neurofibroma which is not associated with NF1. A 61-year-old man presented with asymptomatic skin colored nodules on the medial side of his left great toe. No other abnormalities were found in his personal or family history. Clinically, the tumor was simulating the appearance of mucous cysts. Microscopically,it was a plexiform neurofibroma located in the dermis which seemed to originate from small superficial nerves. This case would seem to confirm that the superficial form of plexiform neurofibroma involving small nerves in the dermis or subcutis is not necessarily pathognomic for NF1.

BACKGROUND: This is the first report of study deals with skin tumors in the Suwon and South Kyungiido area during the past 11 years(1983-1993). OBJECTIVE: We evaluated incidence of tumors, age and sex distribution, and tumor sites. METHODS: We reviewed 1506 cases of skin tumors January 1983 to December 1993, at St. Vincent hospital. RESULTS: l. In the 1506 cases of skin tumors, 1280 cases(85.0%) were benign tumors, and 226 cases(15. 0% ) were malignant tumors. 2. Among the 1280 cases of benign tumors, the most common tumor was epidermal cyst, which followed by lipoma, cavernous hemangioma, pilomatricoma, angiolipoma, neurofibroma and sebor rheic keratosis. 3. Among the 226 cases of malignant tumors, 78 cases of basal cell carcinoma, 59 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 15 cases of malignant melanoma, 11 cases of actinic keratosis and 10 cases of metastatic carcinoma were found. 4. Among the 10 cases of outaneous metastatic cancer, primary sites were lung(3 cases), kidney(3 cases), breast, urinary bladder, stomach and large intestine. CONCLUSION: The 1506 cases of skin tumors, which were confirmed histologically at the St. Vincent hospital from January 1983 to December 1993, were reviewed.
