Acquired Generalized Blue Nevi

Blue nevus is a benign melanocytic neoplasm and represents itself usually as a solitary blue or blue-black papule. It rarely occurs as multiple lesions grouped in a circumscribed area. How-ever, non-grouped disseminated blue nevi are exceedingly rare. We report a patient with acquired multiple blue nevi that was distributed over the entire body discretely and showed an increase in the number of the nevi without any causal factors.

Apocrine Mixed Tumor with Follicular Differentiation

Mixed tumor of the skin (chondroid syringoma) is a rare benign tumor composed of epithelial elements intermingled with myxoid or cartilagenous stroma which is not separated by basement membrane. It had been believed to originate from the eccrine gland but recently, it was described to be of apocrine gland origin in case of showing apparent apocrine secretion. We report on a 63-year-old man with a tumor on the right upper eyelid showing typical microscopic features of mixed tumor of the skin. Many apocrine decapitation secretions were seen in tubular structures and follicular differentiations were also seen, which represents the common origin of folliculo-sebaceous-apocrine unit.

A Case of Familial Partial Lipodystrophy / 대한피부과학회지

Partial lipodystrophy(PLD) is a rare disorder characterized by frequent occurrence in women, usually onset in childhood, and slowly progressive symmetrical loss of subcutaneous fat on the upper half of the body. The etiology is unknown. However, many immunologic abnormalities were reported in PLD. Herein, we report a case of PLD in a 34-year-old man with familial occurrence of PLD in his brother.
