Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis(NLCB) is a rare condition consisting of ectopic fat tissue in the dermis and having the predilection for the pelvic girdle, especially gluteal region. The patient was a 20 year-old female. About 8 years prior to the first visit she had noticed the rice-sized papules on her lower back, which had been gradually increased in size and coalesced to become two, cerebriform, skin colored to yellowish tumor masses of soft consistency, distributed on both sides of the midline of lower back, and measuring respectively 3.5X7.Qcm and 7.0x11.5cm in size. Jihe biopsy specimen taken from the tumor mass revealed the ectopic presence of fat lobules occupying half of the reticular dermis. The fat lobules consisted of almost mature fat cells with the presence of dilated capillaries in their centers.

Dermal melanocytosis includes Mongolian spot, nevi of Ota and Ito, dermal melanocytic harnartoma, and blue nevus. Nevi of Ota may be respectively associated with Mongolian spot, blue nevi and unilateral or bilateral nevi of Ito. We present a case, a 24 year-old female, who had bilaterally brownish or slatebluish pigmented patches on the face, sclera, neck, anterior chest, deltoid, supraclavicular, scapular, back and sacrococcygeal area. And also she had a bluish, bean-sized nodule on her left mid-back. It is likely that this case may be considered as an extremely extensive case of pig:m.entary anomaly, associating aberrant and persistent mongolian spots, extensive nevus of Ito, bilateral nevus of Ota and blue nevus. To our knowledges it seems that such case has not previously been reported in Korean literature.

We experienced a 40-year-old female patient who had vegetating plaques, erosions and a few vesicles on the external genitalia and the oral mucasa, assoeiated with pulmonary tuberculosis. On the skin biopsy specimen of the vegetating plaque, it showed acanthoais, papillomatosis, downward proliferation of the epidermis and eosinophilic microabacess in the epidermis. Direct immunofluorescence of the perilesional skin revealed deposition of IgG, Cq, Cs and C on the intercellular substance of the epidermis. Indirect immunofluorescence disclosed IgCi auto antibody(1: 320) positive to the inter ellular substance of the normal human back skin. The skin lesion had impraved with dapsone therapy.
