RESUMO
Acquired tufted angioma is a benign, slowly progressive angioma with a typical histological pattern that was first described by Wilson-Jones in 1976. We report a case of acquired tufted angioma in a 19 year old female who had erythematous papules and plaques on the right thigh. Histopathological findings showed multiple capillary lobules in a cannonball arrangement scattered throughout dermis, which was diagnostic of acquired tufted angioma.

We report a case of histiocytic cytophagic panniculitis in a 5-year-old male. The patient has complained of multiple erythematous indurated palques with tenderness on the lower abdomen, periocular areas, left forearm and both thighs associated with high fever for 45 days. Hepatosplenomegaly and enlarged lymph nodes were found. Laboratory data revealed pancytopenia, elevation of liver enzymes and prolon gation of PT and PTT. Histopathologic findings of subcutaneous plaque taken from the left forenrm showed lobular panniculitis with fat necrosis and some phagocytic histiocytes containing erythrocytes, leukocytes, lymphocytes and nuclear debris, that had the appearance of bean bag. There found no atypical histiocytic infiltrations or cellular pleomorphism.

A case of generalized pustular psoriasis in a 12 year-old girl is described. She had generalized pustular eruptions on erythematous base, presenting lake of pus, yellowish brown crusts and denudation associated with high fever and chills. With the administration of oral etretinate at a dose of 0.8mg/kg/day for 1 week, rapid and dramatic remission was achieved. About 3 months after her discharge, there developed another wave of new pustules with fever. She was again placed on etretinate therapy. However, there was no expected response as before with developing new pustules continuously. At that time, we tried combination therapy with etretinate and methotrexate. the pustules and erythema began to remit, with eventual clearing of the skin in 6 weeks.
