Extraosseous tuberculosis of the extremities is relatively rare even in the wide spread incidence of bone and joint tuberculosis. And few reports about extraosseous tuberculosis of the extremities have been published in the literatures. Eight cases of the extraosseous tuberculosis of the extremities were experienced at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, National Medical Center, from 1975 to Sep. 1979. Five out of 8 extraosseous tuberculosis were tenosynovitis and the others were bursitis in location. All cases were surgically excised and combined with antituberculous chemotherapy, and primarily cured.

Weber-Christian disease is a relapsing, febrile, nodular, nonsuppurative inflammation of the subcutaneous fat tissue. Many authors reported these cases which illustrate the great variability of the clinical manifestation, such as acute or chronic, fulminating or transient, febrile or non febrile, systemic or cutaneous. Two of our cases have had recurrent painful subeutaneous nodules without fever for several years. Biopsy showed a nonspecific inflammatory panniculitis with lymphocytes chiefly, and small amount of histiocytes and foamy cells. It should be suggested Weber-Christian disease when subcutaneous nodules appear recurrently same areas of the whole body surface except anterior aspects of tibia even if no fever as systemic manifestation. Treatment with steroid and chloroquine diphosphete produced good improvement.

We report a case of experimental reproduction of the skin lesion of polymorphous light eruption by potent UVA irradiating instrument, metal halide mercury lamp. A 20-year-old female had complained skin lesion at sun-exposed area since childhood. The skin lesion was reproduced after repetitive exposure of high dose of UVA, and the histologic feaure of the lesion was consistent with polymorphous light eruption. Metal halide mercury lamp used in this patient has hight irradiance and exclusive of UVB and UVC. It can be convenient and precise one in phototest using high doses of UVA.
