A Case of Congenital platelike Osteoma Cutis / 대한피부과학회지

Osteoma cutis is a rare, benign, frequently congenital tumor of the skin composed of bone tissue, showing neither invasive nor metastasizing tendency. The term osteoma cutis is applied to cases of primary cutaneous ossification in which there is no evidence of Albrights hereditary osteodystrophy. Congenital platelike osteoma cutis is a clinically different variant of primary cutaneous osteoma. We report the case of a 10-month-old male infant who presented with two walnut-sized firm, poorly demarcated plaques containing pinhead-sized erythematous papules on the abdomen and the right leg and multiple variably sized erythematous subcutaneous nodules on the left leg sinee birth. The initial lesions did not enlarge nor did new lesions develop. A biopsy specimen of the abdominal lesion showed bony plate and cartilaginous structures in the subcutaneous fat tissue. There was no history of any skin disease prior to the development of osteoma.

Seroactivities to Phenolic Glycolipid I of Mycobacterium leprae Among Leprosy Patients in National sorokdo Hospital and Their Children / 대한피부과학회지

Using ELlSA, 83 sera from leprosy patients in National Sorokdo Hospital who are clessified bacteriologically positive and 40 sera from patient's children were tested for a.ntibedy to phenolic glycolipid I of M. leprae. The following results were obtained. I. Non. of 40 contact children was pasitive to PGL- I. 2. Patiente with high bacterial indices were more likely to have antibodies to PGL,- 1. Although the antibody level declined, in general, after multi-drug therapy (MDT), t.here were quite a few with high circulating antibodiees to PGL- I even among the patients bacteriologically below 2.

Verrucous czrcinoma is a well accepted clinicopathologic entity that is a lowgrade variant of squamous cell carcinoma. This tumor develops typically in moist areas which are frequent site of chronic inflammation.
