Proliferating trichilernmal tumor is a rare benign solitary tumor that may be histopathologically misinterpreted as squarnous cell carcinoma. It affects frequently the scalp of elderly women. We present herein a case of proliferating trichilemmal tumor in an 87-year-old male who had had a slowly growing tumor on the scalp for 30 years.

Local steroid injection is applied for the various problems in orthopaedic fields. Its not well known whether local steroid injection can induce or aggrevate the tuberculous lesion of the injection site. Tuberculous lesion of the shoulder and posterior compartment of the lumbar spine is rare, but rather commonly noted in the steroid injection group. Fifteen patients of tuberculous lesion(8 in shoulder and 7 in posterior compartment of the lumbar spine) after local steroid injection were treated surgically at the Department of the Orthopaedic Surgery, College of Medicine, Seoul National University, from Jan. 1980 to Agu. 1986, and following results were obtained; 1. The highest incidence was in the 6th decade and male to female ratio was 2: 13. 2. The average number of the injection was 16 times and the average duration was 6 months. 3. The duration from the last steroid injection to the first sign of the tuberculous lesion was from 2 weeks to 3 months and average 2.4 months. 4. Of the 15 cases, active tuberculous lesion at other sites were associated in 6 patients. 5. All cases were treated by complete curettage. It took 5.2 months for the primary wound healing. 6. Local steroid injection could induce or aggrevate the local tuberculous lesion. Radical extirpation of the lesion is the treatment of choice, but with high recurrence rate.

Warty dyskeratoma is a rare, well-circumscribed epidermal tumor that frequently aries as a single lesion on the skin of the head or neck of middle aged or older persons. Its histopathological features include : suprabasilar clefting with villous proliferations of the connective tissue papillae into the clefts ; acantholytic and dyskeratoic epithelial cells,basilar hyperplasia, and hyperleratosis. We report three cases of warty dyskeratoma describing clinical and histochemical fea tures.

Lichen aureus is regarded as an uncommon variant of the pigmented purpuric dermatosis and resistant to treatment. Recently several authors reported the PUVA therapy to be effective in the pigmented purpuric dermatosis, but there was no report that the PUVA therapy was tried to the lichen aureus. We tried topical PUVA therapy on a 54-year-old male with bilateral lichen aureus. After 23 times of topical PUVA therapy, the lesion improved markedly. This report may provide a new method of treatment for lichen aureus.

Acanthosis nigricans is characterized by hyperpigmented, velvety thickening of the skin of any part of the body and frequently associated with internal malignancy, endocrine diseases and obesity. In children, systemic abnormality rarely occur in associated with prepubertal Acanthosis nigricans. We experienced a case of idiopathic Acanthosis nigricans, and made a brief review of literatures.
