ABSTRACT
Pustular eruptions of the palms and soles was studied on outpatients at the Departm- ent of Dermatology of Kyungpook National University Hospital. The results were as follows. 1. During 4 years from 1971 to 1974, the total number of outpatients were 9, 107, among which pustular eruptions were 124 cases(1.34%) and tinea pedis et manus were 171 cases(1.88%). 2. Among 86 cases of pustular eruptione seen in 1974, the classic cases of acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau, pustular bacterid of Andrews, and pustular psoriasis of Barber were 2, 17 and 5 respectively. The rest of remaining 11 cases were difficult to classify, so that these cases were defined as unclassified form. Those 36 cases of pustular erutions were compared with 42 cases of tinea pedis at manus s g n also in 1974. 3. The pustular eruptions showed relatively wider age distribution from 11~20 to 61~70 age groups but tinea pedis et manus revealed high incidence in 21~ 30 to 31~40 age groups. The ratio between both sexes were 13 male to 23 fema1e in pustular eruptions, while 26 to 16 in tinea pedis et manus. 4. The sites of involvement were mostly bilateral hands and feet or bilateral feet. 5. The nail involvement was seen in one third of 36 pustular eruptions. Pustular psoriasis and acrodermatitis continua showed higher incidence of nail involvement, while pustular bacterid and unclassified forms were very low. 6. The onset of both pustular eruptions and tinea pedis et manus showed high incidence in summer and next in spring. But the recrudescence was perenial in highest proportion among pustular eruptions, while tinea pedis et manus was in summer. 7. No direct relationships between pustular eruptions and psoriasis or focal infection was seen in its pathogenesis.

Letterer-Siwe disease occurred in a 3 year 7 month old male child showing severe emaciation, hepatosplenomegaly, otitis media, hemorrhagic and impetiginous crusted patches on the body, and seborrheic dermatitis like skin rashes in the scalp. Also showed are severe anemia, thrombocytopenia, bronchopneumonia and multiple bony defects in skull. The child expired in a month after admission.

The clinical studies were made on 40 cases of malignant cutaneous tumors who visited to Department of Dermatology, Kyungpook National University Hospital during last 6 years from 1967 to 1972. 1) Among 40 cases, 23 were squamous cell carcinomas, 10 basal cell carcinonias, two mycosis fungoides, one Hodgkins disease, one malignant melanoma, one angiosarcoma, one fibrosarcoma, and one metastatic adenocarclonoma. 2) The patient with malignant tumors were increasing by the year, being 0.06% of total out patients in 1967 but increased to 0.64% by 1971. 3) Squamous cell carcinomas were seen above the age 30 but basal cell carcinomas were seen above the age 40. Mycosis fungoides and malignant melanoma were seen in 20th of age, while Hodgkins disease, angiosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, and metastatic adenocarcinoma were seen in 50th of age. 4) The ratio of squamous cell carcinoma to basal cell carcinoma was 2.3:1, contrary to higher incidence of basal cell carcinoma than squamous cell carcinoma among caucasians. 5) Among 23 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 7 cases were derived from Bowens disease, 4 cases were from chronic burn scar, two from senile keratosis, one from tropic ulcer, and remaining 9 were not able to elucidate its cause. 6) The predilection sites of squamous cell carcinoma were four extremities particulary on lower extremities, while basal cell carcinomas were on the face predominantly. 7) Among 10 cases of basal cell carcinomas, 8 cases were ulcerative form and the rest of two were nodular form. 6 cases showed dark pigmentation in the lesions sugge stive of pigmented basal cell carcinoma but only 3 of them were proved to be true pigmented form histologically. 6 cases showed solid type of basal cell carcinoma and 2 showed pigmented type among 8 cases of ulcerative form. Those two cases of nodular form, one showed pigmented type and the other adenocystic type histologically.

6 cases of nevus sebaceus of Jadassohn were reported and its literatures were reviewed. It is thought to be rather rare disease in this country. Two of the cases were seen within the age of 2 years and showed the clinical pictures of early stage. The remaining 4 cases were the clinical pictures of late stage showing verrucous lesions. All cases developed the lesions in the scaIp except case 6 which appeared on anterior neck. One of thc cases was associated with syringocystadenoma papilliferum but none of the cases show any association of basal cell carcinoma.
