Solitary circumscribed neuroma is a benign nerve sheath tumor of unknown etiology. Clinically, it appears as a long-standing, solitary, asymptomatic, skin-colored papule or papulonodule. It has been found predominantly on the face in both sexes, mostly in middle age. A 53-year-old female patient visited our department because of a nodule on the side of the distal interphalangeal joint of the left second finger. A biopsy specimen showed a well-circumscribed, partially encapsulated tumor composed of interlacing fascicles of spindle cells. Neither pleomorphism nor mitosis was found. Immunohistochemical stainings for vimentin, neuron specific enolase (NSE) and epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) were positive, but negative for S-100 protein and smooth muscle actin (SMA). We herein report an uncommon case of solitary circumscribed neuroma.

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1989;27(4):352-361
Vascular tissue presumed to be the most sensitive target tissue of the immune and toxic reactions. Most of the vasculitides can be directly or indirectly associated with immunopathogenic rnechanisms. In this regards, the purpose of the study is to understand imrnunopathogenic mechanism of various cutaneous vasculitides by comparing their immunopathologic patterns. Imrnunopathologic studies were carried out on the blood vessel of various skin diseases by means of the direct immunofluorescent technique using FITC conjugated rabbit antihurnan IgG, IgA, IgM, C3 C1q, C4 and fibrinogen)(F). The results obtained were as follows : 16 patients with leukocytoclastic vasculitis out of 19 showed deposition of irnmune complex in the small upper dermal vessels and had positive reaction for F, 8 for IgA, 5 for C3 and 2 for IgM. Of the 6 patients with chronic pigmented purpura studied, 2 had IgM, 3 had Ca and all of these had F in small upper or middle dermal vessels. Immunopathologic patterns of livedo vasculitis were similar to those of chronic pigmented purpurs, except mainly affected in upper dermis. Nodular vasculitis and Behqets syndrome had deposits of F, C and IgM in medium or large vessels of the middle or lower dermis. Simultaneously, Cs in 2 patients with nodular vnsculitis and IgM in one patient with Behqets syndrorne were also noted along the basement mernbrane zone. In a patient with pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta, IgM and F were noted on the samll upper dermal vessels. With these results, the immune complex mechanism could be closly related the pathogenesis of most of cutaneous vasculitis. And various clinical manifestations or expression of vasculitis appear to be dependent upon 1) type of imrnune reaction, 2) size of blood vessels, 3) location and depth of blood vessels, 4) extend of affected areas and 5) involvement of other organs.

7.A Case of Cutaneous Epithelioid Angiosarcoma.

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1994;32(1):177-181
The epithelioid angiosarcoma is recently described ns a variant of ang-osarcoma based on its pathological feature, which is characterized by the epithelioid or histiocytoid morphology af the malignant tumor cells. The existence of vascular endothelial tumor with an epithelioid feature has been accepted for many years, most notablyn the forms of epithelioid hemangioma and epithelioid hemangioendo thelioma. In recent years, cutaneous angiosarcoma with epitheloid morphology have been reported as a cutaneos epithelioid angiosarcoma in the literatures. A 60-year-old man presente with a mild tender erythematous 2 x 2 x 2.5cm sized soft fluctuating single nodule with dark hemorrhagic crust on the left forehead for 3 months. He had had an abrasion wound on the lesion site of the forehead by an accidental trauma 5 month before the lesion appeared. Histopathological findings revealed that the tumor mass was chiefly composed of solid sheets of poorly differentiated malignant cells with an epithelioid feature. The characteristics of classical angiosarcoma such as primitive vascular spaces and clefts with malignat cells, and proliferating vessels were also found in some areas. The immunohistochemical stain wi.h the factor VIII related antigen ivas focally reactive in the tumor cells. Unfortunately he refused further treatment and expired 7 months after discharge at home without knowing the direct cause of his health. We report herein an interesting and rare case of the cutaneous epitheioid angiosarcoma which had typical clinical and histopathological findings and suggested as a case with a very aggressive course.

We present here a case of phaeornycotic subcutaneous abscess caused by Wangiella dermatitidis in a 34-year-old male, who had multiple asymptomatic subcutaneous masses of 7 months duration over the neck and right axilla. ]n this case, we could observe typical gross colony morphology of W. dermatitidis. which showed creamy greyish, yeast-like colony with aerial mycelia after 3 to 4 weeks. ]n histopathologic study, we found mixed cell granuloma and fungal structure in biopsy specimen. We comfirmed W. dermatitidis by exoantigen test, and treated the subcutaneous lesions by surgical excision and ketoconazole with good result. This case is the first reported in Korea.

Neurilemmomatosis is a clinical entity consisting of multiple cutaneous neurilemmomas, central nervous system tumors, and neurologic disorders. Since Shishiba et al first described the disorder in 1984, several cases have been reported. We report a Korean case of neurilemmomatosis showing multiple neurilemmomas of the skin and spinal cord, with associated motor and sonsory nerve disturbance. Histologic, immunohistopathologic and electron microscopic studies confirmed the diagnosis.

Livedo reticularis with summer ulceration was first reported by Feldaker et al in 1955, that is characterized by livedo reticularis and ulcerations of the legs or feet beginning primarily the summer or warmer months of the year, and healing the winter months. A 32-year old rnan has suffered from periodic painful ulcerations, which were occurred during the summer, on the both ankles and brown to bluish colored reticulated discoloration on the lower legs for about 10 years. Histopathological findings showed endothelial proliferation and partial occlusion of the dermal capillaries, fibrinoid material on the superficial blood vessels, and partial epidermal necrolysis. This patient. was treated with antiplatelet aggregating medications and antihypertensive drug.
