Pigmented Bowen's disease (PBD) is a rare variant of Bowen's disease(BD). Most of the reported cases showed pigmented patches or thin plaques. Thus its clinical manifestations may simulated other various pigmented skin lesions. We experienced 2 cases of PBD in patients with multiple BD developed after taking Korean proprietary pills (KPP, "Hwan-Yak"), which were suspected to contain certain amount of arsenics. Both patients also showed arsenical keratosis on their palms and soles. The darker pigmentation of the PBL led us to differentiated them from melanoma.

We observed 2 cases of occupational radiodermatitis which occurred during the radioisotope transpierce test. Patient 1, a 40-year-old man, noticed swelling, erythema, and stiffness on his left 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th fingers 5 days after the exposure to about 2700 rem. Patient 2, a 32-year-old man, noticed painful swelling, erythema, bullae and necrosis on his right palm and thumb 1 week after the exposure to about 5500 rem. Clinicopathologically, patient 1 and 2 came under 2 and 3 burns respectively. The symptoms have been improving after treatment with systemic and topical corticosteroids and antibiotics.

We observed a family with 12 members in four consecutive generations affected by hereditary epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma(HEPPK). The affected family members demonstrated not only autosomal dominant inheritance, but also a high penetrance and constant expression. The lesion of all affected person had developed at birth or within the first few weeks of life. The lesions of three members(the proband, her sister and mother) were biopsed, and all of them showed the characteristic features of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis. Two of family members(the proband, her nephew-not affected by HEPPK) had vitiligo, but we concluded that this coexistance was accidental.

Proliferative fasciitis is a rare reactive condition that presents with pseudosarcomatous lesions in subcutaneous tissues. Clinically, most patients present with firm, rapidly growing subcutaneous nodule and two thirds of patients complained of pain and tenderness. Most of lesions occur in the extremities, with the upper extremity (especially the forearm) affected more commonly than the lower extremity. Microscopically, proliferative fasciitis is composed of spindle cells that are deposited in a variably myxoid and collagenous stroma. It is characterized by the presence of large basophilic cells with one or two vesicular nuclei. Proliferative fasciitis could be confused with sarcomas because of intense cellularity, high mitotic index, and rapid growth. A 26-year-old woman complained of a painful nodule on her right second finger. Its size was gradually increased and pain was worsened. Histopathological examination revealed that the lesion consisted predominantly of spindle-shaped cells intermingled with a few gangliocyte-like giant cells. We herein report a rare case of proliferative fasciitis in the finger in a 26-year-old woman.

We observed a 25-year-old male patient who had developed juvenile rheumatoid arthritis(RA) associated with alopecia areata at 14 years of age. When he received treatment for RA, his symptoms of RA and hair loss improved at approximately the same time. One year later, as the symptoms of RA aggravated, the hair loss had progressed eventually to alopecia universalis(AU). Thus we suggest that RA and AU may be associated with a common immunologic factor in etiology of the two diseases.

To determine the perinatal mortality and morbidity of fetuses with absent end-diastolic velocities (AEDV) of the umbilical artery in severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, the outcome of 5 fetuses with AEDV was compared with that of 35 fetuses with positive end-diastolic velocities (PEDV). The study population comprised 38 cases of severe pre-eclampsia and 2 cases of eclampsia with structurally normal singletons, who had had umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry weekly from admission to delivery. The Doppler velocimetry result was not used for the clinical management. Perinatal death and neonatal morbidity from both groups were further examined in gestational age category to control the influence of preterm births. The incidence of AEDV of the umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry in severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia was 12.5% (5/40). The AEDV group had a significantly higher incidence than the PEDV group in terms of ceasarean section due to fetal distress (60% : 17%), Apgar score < 7 at 5 minutes (60% : 14%), perinatal death (25% : 0%) and assisted mechanical ventilation (67% : 9%) both at 32-36 weeks. Time intervals from the detection of AEDV to delivery of live neonates varied from the day to 15 days. In conclusion, AEDV in the umbilical artery might be of clinical value in routine surveillance of pregnancies complicated by severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, and predict hypoxic fetal condition which needs operative interventions before or during labor and mechanical ventilation after birth.

Basal cell carcinoma(BCC) is a most common malignant tumor of the skin and has many different clinical and histological appearances. Polypoid BCC is a new clinicopathological variant of BCC. Polypoid BCC is clinically distinguished by being pedunculated and having a stalk that connects it to the skin surface. Histologically, it is distinctive in that the tumor aggregations are restricted to the exophytic polypoid zone. We herein report a case of polypoid BCC in a 39-year-old man who had a single, asymptomatic, black-brownish, pedunculated mass on his right temple.
