We describe a boy who developed a dark brown colored nodule in an area of lymphangioma circumscriptum following repeated local injuries. The nodule showed the clinical and pathologic features of solitary angiokeratoma. It is possible that previous injuries predisposed the lesion to the development of solitary angiokeratoma.

Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is a rare condition characterised by venous malformations in the skin, gastrointestinal tract and other parts of the body. Its presentation is usually sporadic, although cases of autosomal dominant inheritance have been reported. Usually seen in children, BRBNS presentation in adults is rare. Symptoms at presentation depend on the organs involved; patients with BRBNS may present with acute or chronic gastrointestinal bleed. We herein report a rare presentation of BRBNS in an adult who suffered from intermittent abdominal pain and melaena for three years. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a jejunojejunal intussusception with a vascular malformation as the lead point. The patient underwent laparotomy with resection of the intussuscepted bowel segment. Recovery was uneventful. In spite of a wide range of therapeutic options for the management of BRBNS described in the literature, the efficacy of those available therapies, including surgical excision, is not well established.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinicopathologic features of kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE).
METHODSThe clinicopathologic data were studied in three cases of KHE and review the literatures.
RESULTSTwo cases were female and one was male. All cases occurred in infancy. Two tumor located in axillary chest wall and one in lumbar region. All of the three patients had Kasabach-Merritt syndrome. Histologically, the tumor was composed of spindle-shaped cells. in all cases nodular growth pattern was seen. Immunohistochemically, Neoplastic spindled cells expressed CD34 and CD31. Associated lymphangiomatosis was present in two cases. Two tumors were resected completely, one was resected partly. the follow-up period ranged from 6 months to 3 years, and all were alive.
CONCLUSIONSKaposiform hemangioendothelioma is a rare locally aggressive vascular tumor that mainly occurred in early infancy. It is frequently complicated by Kasabach-Merritt syndrome, and it has features common to both capillary hemangioma and Kaposi sarcoma. The prognosis of KHE is determined by the size, location and the hemorrhage degree of vascular tumor. Better outcome might be achieved in patients with KHE of the skin and in the soft tissues under the skin. It appears that the main treated measure should be wide local excision.

We report a case of multiple basal cell carcinoma associated with keratoacanthoma. A 65-year-old Korean female had suffered from multiple, variable-sized papules and nodules on the face for 20 years previous to treatment. She had no history of arsenic intake, irradiation, herb medication, or hereditable or preexisting dermatoses. Histopathologically, the tumors revealed typical findings of solid and adenoid types of basal cell carcinoma and keratoacanthoma.

9.Unsuspected gastric granulocytic sarcoma in a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome.
Journal of Korean Medical Science 1996;11(1):68-76
Granulocytic sarcoma (GS) is an uncommon and localized extramedullary tumor composed of immature granulocytic cells. Most GS reported in large series were not associated with overt acute myelogenous leukemia. Gastric perforation occurred during prednisolone therapy in a 72-year-old Japanese male with a four-month history of a myelofibrosis-like state. Subtotal gastrectomy was performed for a suspected gastric ulcer perforation. Gastric histologic, immunohistochemical and cytochemical examination revealed diffuse infiltration by sheets of myeloblasts and promyelocytes with scant or moderately abundant cytoplasm including a few eosinophilic myelocytes. Bone marrow study done in one month after the operation disclosed refractory anemia with excess of blasts (RAEB). Leukemic transformation occurred two months later, and a subcutaneous tumor appeared on the forehead. The forehead tumor predominantly consisted of myeloblasts without evidence of maturation. Both the stomach and forehead tumors were examined immunohistochemically with a panel of monoclonal antibodies (LCA, L26, MT1, UCHL1, OPD4, LN-1, LN-2, LN-3, MB1, Leu-M1, PM) and polyclonal antibodies (lysozyme, alpha 1-antitrypsin, alpha 1-antichymotrypsin, S-100 protein, lactoferrin), as well as naphthol-ASD-chloroacetate esterase staining to investigate and characterize the reliable marks for GS, and the patient was diagnosed as GS. We found that gastric GS may occur in a myelofibrosis-like state followed by RAEB of myelodysplastic syndrome and that naphthol-ASD-chloroacetate esterase staining and immunohistochemical detection of MT1, lysozyme, and alpha 1-antitrypsin were the most reliable markers for confirming the diagnosis of GS.

Kaposi's sarcoma is a rare and slowly progressive disease that primarily affects the skin but has an associated visceral involvement. It can occur in the HIV-positive patients or patients treated with immunosuppressants. However, it is extremely rare in the patients receiving the treatment for inflammatory bowel disease. We used corticosteroid for the treatment of ulcerative colitis in 60-year-old woman. Then, Kaposis's sarcoma occured in the skin and colon of the patient. Since she was HIV-negative, we believed that it was developed from the condition of corticosteroid-induced immunosuppression. We present a case of skin and colonic Kaposi's sarcoma in a HIV-negative woman following treatment with corticosteroid for ulcerative colitis.
