[Nodular colloid milium of the ears]

Colliod milium is a degenerative change, which is characterized clinically by development of multiple yellowish, translucent papules and nodules on the light exposed skin and histologically by the presence of colloid in the dermal papillae. This is a rare condition and has some variants. We report a case of colloid millium with nodular and plaque lesions on his ears. Our patient was a farmer with a history of more than 47 years chronic sun exposure and showed photoaging

[Pretibial epidermolysisbullosa: report of two cases]

Pretibial epidermolysisbullosa is a rare variant of hereditary epidermolysisbullosa characterized by the delayed onset of lesions and their localization. We present two cases, a 35-year-old woman and a 21-year-old man. They clinically had pruritus, nodular prurigo-like or lichenified lesions, violaceous scarring, milia, nail dystrophy and in one case albopapuloid lesions on the trunk. Physical signs of disease were first noticed between 3 and 9 years of age. Histologic examination showed a subepidermal blister with milia formation, and a mild mixed inflammatory infiltrate. These patients represent annusual, poorly recognized form of dystrophic epidermolysisbullosa with features that resemble a variety of acquired dermatoses
