Joo Yong KIM ; Chang Duk KIM ; Byung Chun KIM ; Kyu Suk LEE

Korean Journal of Dermatology.2003;41(7):985-987.

Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn is an uncommon transient panniculitis which is characterized by asymptomatic, firm to rubbery, purple-red, erythematous subcutaneous nodules and plaques occurring during the first 4 weeks of life. Characteristic histologic findings are areas of fat necrosis associated with inflammation in the subcutaneous tissue and needle-shaped clefts with radial arrangement in fat cells as well as foreign body giant cells. We report a case of subcutaneous fat necrosis in a 9 day-old male who had suffered from hard erythematous nodules on both upper arms.

Korean Journal of Dermatology.2003;41(7):982-985.

Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia(IPEH) is a relatively rare disease which is characterized by the development of endothelial-lined papillary projections. It is now believed to be a reactive process that result from organization of a thrombus. We report a case of intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia developed on the plantar surface of right 4th toe.

Psoriasiform lesion is rare in secondary syphilis. We report a case of psoriasiform syphilid in a 36-year-old man, who showed condyloma lata on the perianal area and multiple erythematous scaly plaques on the face, glans penis, scrotum, and both palms and soles. He had sexual contact with prostitute about 3 months ago. The differential diagnosis included papulosquamous diseases, especially psoriasis but a psoriasiform syphilid was confirmed through skin biopsies and serologic tests. The patient was treated with benzathine penicillin G 2.4 million units intramuscularly weekly for 3 weeks. After the treatment with benzathine penicillin G, the skin lesions disappeared completely.

Korean Journal of Dermatology.2003;41(7):976-979.

A metastatic umbilical carcinoma from internal malignancy is known as Sister Mary Joseph's nodule. A 56-year-old man presented with a progressively enlarging umbilical nodule. Skin biopsy was done and the patient was diagnosed as metastatic adenocarcinoma of umbilicus. Search for the primary tumor revealed gastric adenocarcinoma with metastasis to perigastric lymph node, portal vein and intrahepatic duct. Sister Mary Joseph's nodule, a rare form of cutaneous metastasis, generally carries very poor prognosis. We describe a case of Sister Mary Joseph's nodule preceding a diagnosis of gastric cancer with review of the literature, and emphasize the importance of careful evaluation of any umbilical nodule.

Korean Journal of Dermatology.2003;41(7):974-976.

Shiitake (Lentinus edodes) is nowadays the second most commonly produced edible mushroom in the world. Two patients complained of severe itching and showed widespread disseminated very small erythematous papule and characteristic linear grouped erythematous papules after scratching (Kobner phenomenon). Here we report two cases of mushroom intolerance which developed after ingestion of boiled or cooked shiitake mushrooms.

Korean Journal of Dermatology.2003;41(7):971-973.

Angiosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor of endothelial cell origin. Histopathologically, varied differentiation may be observed even within the same tumor. Epithelioid angiosarcoma is one subset of poorly differentiated angiosarcoma which is a rare variant. We report a case of epithelioid angiosarcoma of the scalp in a 59-year-old man. The patient had a painful solitary, 2x3 cm sized, dome-shaped, firm, erythematous to purplish nodule with crust on the vertex of the scalp. Histopathologically, the tumor was chiefly composed of solid sheets of atypical epithelioid cells with prominent eosinophilic cytoplasm, a large vesicular nuclei, and occasional intracytoplasmic vacuoles. Well to moderately differentiated areas with irregular vascular channel-like structures lined by atypical hyperchromatic endothelial cells were also seen in the peripheral areas of the tumor. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive with CD31 which is sensitive marker of endothelial cell.

Urticaria Pigmentosa in Twin Babies.

Gwang Yoon CHO ; Eun Hee CHOO ; Hyung Ok KIM ; Chung Won KIM

Korean Journal of Dermatology.1984;22(2):249-252.

Urticaria pigmentosa developed in twins at the age of 6 weeks. They have numerous round to oval shaped, discrete or confluent reddish brown colored macules over whole body surface and neither twin had vomiting, diarrhea, flushing or irritability. Their relatives are unaffected. Biopsy specimen of. back lesion showed. pooling of mast cells in the upper dermis, and electron microscopic examinattion revealed normal mast cells.

Korean Journal of Dermatology.1984;22(2):245-248.

Epoxy resins,which are irritant and allergen, are now used for surface coatings, electrical insulations, adhesives, and construction industry throughout the world. However, epoxy resin contact dermatitis has not been reported in the Korean literature. We report two cases of epoxy resin contact dermatitis which were occupationally related. They have been in the same work, painting dye and resin mixtures on the glasses for decoration. They showed positive patch test reactions to epoxy resin 1, and their own materials containing resins and accelerators which were proved to be -countinue-

Korean Journal of Dermatology.1984;22(2):236-240.

A case of chronic granulomatous infection of Fsarium solani had decreased response to recalled antigens and lacked of dinitrochlorobenzene(DNCB) sensitization in vivo. He has had frequent attacks of common cold-like symptoms and same attacks were very suggestive of pneumonia but he relatively healthy until he developed cutaneous Fusarium infection. Recently he also developed herpes zoster.
