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.

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.

Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn is an uncommon disorder characterized by firm b-cutaneous plaques and nodules usually appearing shortly after birth. It runs a relatively be, n course and may completely resolve in a few months without any recurrence. We report a case of subcutaneous fat necrosis in a 15 day-old male suffering from severe p inatal asphyxia and hypoxic cardiomyopathy, who presented with indurated subcutane s nodules and plaques on the both shoulders and the back. Histologically the subcutaneous fat showed focal necrosis with needle-shaped clefts, lymphohistiocytic infiltration and foreign body reactions consistent with subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn. In our patient, compromised cardiac output due to cardiomyopathy might have aggravated hypoxic condition and it could be speculated that cardiomyopathy-induced systemic hypoxia gave rise to hypothermia of the skin as a result of peripheral vasoconstriction. This report presents a causal relationship of cardiomyopathy and subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn.

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).

We report a case of multiple Bowen's disease associated with leprosy. A 68-year-old man was seen because of slightly pruritic multiple erythematous scaly patches and plaques on the trunk and the both extremities for 5 years. He has been treated for leprosy with many kinds of drugs consisting of the herb medications for over 40 years. He also showed decreased cell-mediated immunity in skin tests. It is considered that depressed cellular immunity may be an important predisposing factor in the development of mutiple Bowen's disease in this case, .although arsenics can not be completetly excluded.

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.

PURPOSE: To determine the significance of anomalous position of the gallbladder. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixteen patients with anomalous position of the gallbladder were evaluated for analysis. The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasonography(15 patients) and oral cholecystography(1patient). Among those, six patients underwent CT scan and a patient had 99mTc-DISIDA scan. The images were analysed with respect to the location of the GB and configuration and associated abnormality of the liver and hepatobiliary systems. Medical records of each patient were also reviewed. RESULTS: Among 16 patients having an anomalous position of the gallbladder, nine had retrodisplaced gallbladder, four had left-sided gallbaldder, two had suprahepatic gallbladder, and one had floating gallbladder. Except for one patient, fifteen had abnormality in the liver such as focal atrophic or hypoplastic change and liver cirrhosis. Intrahepatic stones were demonstrated in 6 patients. CONCLUSION: Our results showed that anomalous position of the gallbladder was commonly associated with atrophy or hypoplasia of the liver rather than congenital in origin. The possiblity of an anomalous location of gallbladder should be kept in mind when GB is not in its normal location.

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.
