Elastofibroma is a rare benign tumorous growth presenting as a slowly growing ill-defined mass of fibroblastic tissue occurring in elderly persons and arising mainly form the connective tissue between the lower portion of the scapula and the chest wall. Its pathogenesis is not well established but it may be the result of nonneoplastic reactive hyperplasia taking place with constitutional predisposition in the background. A case of elastofibroma occurring in the subscapular area of a 65-year-old female cook is presented. The mass, 6x5x3 cm in maximum dimensions, was poorly circumscribed, solid, hard, pale fleshy and pray-white fibrous tumor. Microscopically, it was composed of numerous small globular and linear elastic fibers embedded in collagenous matrix. To our knowledge, it is the first case of elastofibroma in Korea.

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a recently described vascular neoplasm characterized by epitheloiod endothelial linings and its borderline biologic behavior. We report a case of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma in a 6-year-old male. The tumor was presented as a non-tender dermal nodule on the left middle finger. The microscopic sections revealed irregular proliferation of vascular channels lined by epithelioid cells with histiocytoid features and frequent intracytoplasmic vacuoles, mimicking so called signet ring cells. Immunohistochemical stainings for factor VIII and vimentin were positive both in epithelioid and vacuolated endothelial cell. Electron microscopic finding reveals abundant intermediate filaments.

Herein reported were three cases of papillary eccrine adenoma also called as tubular apocrine adenoma, characterized by dilated ducts containing eosinophilic secretion or kerain and intraluminal papillations. Case 1. A 23 year old male had a well defined erythematous nodule, measuring 1x1 cm. On the ankle of right leg over ten years. Clinical impression was dermatofibroma. Microscopic features were those of papillary ecrine adenoma. Case 2. A 53 year old female had a well demarcated dermal nodule, measuring 1.5x1 cm. On the buttock. Cut surface exhibited relatively well circumscribed tumor with yellowish brown color, Microscopic features were those of papillary eccrine adenoma with alcian blue positive materials in their lumens. Case 3. A 22 year old female had a showly growing hard painless small bean sized nodule at the metatarsal head area of right sole, measuring 2.3x1.8x0.7 cm. Clinical impression was calcinosis cutis. Microscopic features were those of papillary eccrine adenoma with foreign body granuloma and dystrophic calcification.
