Annals of Dermatology 1995;7(4):327-331
We report a case of atrophoderma vermiculata with an unusual location. Besides symmetrical small pitted macules and linear atrophic depressions on both cheeks, there were unilateral atrophic depressed macules on the forehead, the right popliteal fossa and left up-per arm in our case. The histopathologic findings of these lesions showed a slight degree of epidermal atrophy with follicular pluggings and flattened rete ridges. In the dermis, there were mild perivascular in-filtrations of mononuclear cells. In addition, we could find out no pilosebaceous unit and other adnexal structures were diminished in number.

Annals of Dermatology 1997;9(3):224-227
An 18-year-old man had suffered from intense burning with redness and an increased temperature of both the lower legs, forearms and hands since the age of 5. Symptoms were exacerbated by exposure to heat or walking. The patient obtained temporary relief by immersing his feet and hands in cold water. We observed the increase of skin temperature in relation to pain by thermography. No specific abnormalities were noted in laboratory studies. Treatment with aspirin was ineffective. We report a rare case of primary erythermalgia with typical features.

A 34-year-old man visited our hospital with alopecia areata on the occipital scalp, which began to develop two months prior to his visit. He was sensitized with 0.2% diphenylcyclopropenone(DPCP) in acetone that was applied to the inner side of his right arm. Two weeks after sensitization, we applied DPCP on his bald lesion once weekly for skin challenge. Following the third application of DPCP, polycyclic erythematous target-like lesions developed around the sensitized area. A clinical diagnosis of erythema multiforme was made. Histologically, the target-like lesion showed few eosinophilic dyskeratosis, exocytosis, and hydropic de-generation of basal layer in the epidermis, and mononuclear infiltration around superficial blood vessels in the dermis. We report herein a rare case of erythema multiforme following topical application of DPCP in the treatment of alopecia areata. This complication must be noted because of the wide-spread and frequent use of DPCP in dermatotherapeutic fields.

5.Contact Urticaria due to Dinitrochlorobenzene.

A 33-year-old man with alopecia totalis presented with facial erythema and flares, conjunctival injection, and dyspnea developed within several minutes following the ninth application of dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). A scratch skin test produced positive reactions in concentrations of 0.01, 0.05, 0.1% DNCB showing flares and wheals, whereas concentrations of 0.001, 0.01, 0.05% diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) showed negative results. Contact urticaria due to DNCB is very rare, but this complication must be fully noted because of the widespread and frequent use of DNCB in dermatotherapeutic fields. We report herein a rare case of contact urticaria following topieal application of DNCB in the treatment of alopecia totalis.

6.A Case of Lymphangiectasia Arising at the Site of an Operative Scar.

Lymphangiectasia(acquired lymphangioma) is characterized clinically by the presence of a circumscribed eruption of thin-walled, translucent vesicles which closely resemble frog spawn in appearance. This rare disorder may arise as a result of acquired lymphatic obstruction secondary to surgery, irradiation, chronic recurrent infection, chronic scarring, or trauma. Herein, we report a case of atypical lymphangiectasia at the site of an abdominal scar in a 70-year-old female. She developed a dark red-colored, pedunculated papule, 2 years after a total abdominal hysterectomy and post-operative irradiation for carcinoma of the uterine cervix. Histopatholgical findings showed multiple irregularly shaped cystic dilatated cells lined by a single layer of endothelium in the dermis. Immunohistochemical staining with factor VIII-related antigen showed negative results. A lymphangiogram showed signs of acquired lymphatic obstruction.

A 72-year-old woman developed pruritic erythematous patches on sun-exposed areas for 2 months following treatment with hydrochlorothiazide (Dichlozid) for hypertension. A phototest revealed a decreased minimal erythemal dose to UVA (MED(UVA)=2 J/cm²). A photopatch test with 0.5%, 1%, and 5% hydrochlorothiazide ointment revealed no response. Two weeks after discontinuation of hydrochlorothiazide, the skin lesions improved with complete loss of photosensitivity without any therapy. At that time, an oral provocation phototest with hydrochlorothiazide was performed and it showed a decreased MED to UVA (MED(UVA)=2 J/cm²).

Genital melanosis is an acquired, irregular, brown to black discoloration of the glans or shaft of the penis, or of the vulva and vagina. Although genital melanosis seems similar to malignant melanoma clinically, the histologic findings of genital melanosis show basal layer hyperpigmentation with or without melanocytic hyperplasia and no atypia of the melanocytes. We report a rare case of genital melanosis ; a vulvar melanosis.

Progressive zosteriform macular pigmented lesion(PZMPL) is a chronic pigmentary dermatosis similar to progressive cribriform and zosteriform hyperpigmentation(PCZH). This dermatosis described by Simoes in 1980 is characterized by a uniformly tanned macular pigmented lesion in a zosteriform distribution preceded by multiple pruritic macular pigmentation in a part of the dermatome for a period. PZMPL is not a fully understood disease entity but it is thought to be a variant of PCZH. It is differentiated from PCZH by accompanying pruritus as a prodromal symptom, a characteristic clinical course, and histological findings such as pigmentary incontinence. We report herein a case of PZMPL in a 17 year-old girl with the pigmentary skin lesion extending from the left forearm to the left chest along the Blaschkos line. The histological findings revealed increased melanin pigments in the basal layer and focal pigmentary incontinence in the upper dermis. To our knowledge, this case is the first report of PZMPL in korea thought to be the same case reported by Simoes.
