Partial Unilateral Lentiginosis (PUL) is a rare pigmentary disorder characterized by the numerous lentigines confined to a body segment, with a sharp demarcation at the midline. We report two cases of PUL. A 38-year-old woman had asymptomatic discrete small hyperpigmented macules that were scattered on the T7~L1 dermatomes on the left side of her trunk and were clearly demarcated in the midline on both anterior and posterior sides. In the other case, an 18- year-old woman had hyperpigmented macules that were scattered on the left neck, shoulder, and anterior chest. Other anomalies including neurofibromatosis, neurologic anomalies, and multiple lentiginous syndrome were not related in both cases. We report two cases of PUL having no other anomalies.

We report a case of cutaneous focal mucinosis in a 60 year-old male, who had asymptomatic localized small flesh colored papule and nodule on the left side of the neck. The histopathologic finding revealed fibroblastic proliferatior in the dermis and an increased prodact on of hyaluronic acid by these fibroblasts. The lesions were treated by surgical excision.

A 53-year-old man had skin-colored linear serpiginous plaque within brownish patch on his left thigh for one year. He habitually drank natural spring water for 3 years. We diagnosed this case as sparganosis infiltrated within dermis by histologic and parasitologic diagnosis. The skin lesion mimicked the cutaneous larva migrans by showing dermal migration of sparganum to pro-duce itchy linear serpiginous plaque. We report an interesting case of sparganosis mimicking cutaneous larva migrans.

Many studies for LPS-induced cytokines, chemokines gene expressions have been reported, but results are highly diverse. The dose of LPS used, cell type studied or other technical factors may contribute to the differences. We investigated the cytokine mRNA expressions, interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-6, IL-10 and IFNr, on thioglycollate (TG) elicited-mouse peritoneal macrophages stimulated with various concentrations, 1 ng/ml, 10 ng/ml, 100 ng/ml, 1 ug/ml and 10 ug/ml, of LPS used by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and northern blot analysis. TG- elicited peritoneal macrophages expressed IL-6 and IFN-r mRNA in a dose-dependent manner. The expressions of IL-2 and IL-10 mRNA were dose-independent manner. In northern blot analysis, IL-6 mRNA expression was detected only in 10 ug/ml LPS concentration for short stimulation time (0.5 h), while IL-10 mRNAs were expressed evenly in all LPS concentrations. The expression of IL-6 mRNA was sustained until 72 h at 10 ug/ml concentration only, but IL- 10 mRNAs of all cases of LPS concentrations were sustained evenly until then. These results suggest that the concentration of LPS required for cytokine induction must be determined differently from gene to gene types, and although LPS concentration 10 ug/ml has not been used as an ordinary concentration in vitro cytokine study, 10 ug/ml of LPS might be more appropriate concentration in the study of IL-6 expression on mouse peritoneal macrophages.

We describe a 23-year-old man showing typically clinical and histological features of targetoid hemosiderotic hemangioma. About 35 cases of this newly-described entity have been reported since the first description by Santa Cruz and Aronherg in 1988. It is important to distinguish these tumors from patch stage Kaposi's sarcoma, retiform hemangioendothelioma and progressive lymphangioma.
