ABSTRACT
Case history of five members from the same family is reported. They developed papulourticarial pruritic rash on the skin of their torsos and extremities during their summer stay in an old family house. The cause was an insect determined as Sclerodermus domesticus, known for its parasitism on larvae of a wood pest. Examination of the furniture revealed a lot of holes typical for these pests. Cases of stings of these insects have not been described in Yugoslavia till now.

A family genealogy, comprising four cases of familial multiple lipomatosis, making their appearance one after the other in three generations is reported. Two cases with impressive clinical features are presented in detail. This report contributes to the opinion that the disease is transmitted by the autosomal dominant route of inheritance.

Using the ultrasound technique of visualization (grey-scale technique) and a method of 'water bath', the authors obtained echograms of plastic indurations of the penis. The echograms can be immediately photographed and interpreted. By their quick, painless and simple performance, without contrast medium and hazardous irradiation, the authors gain an advantage over some other diagnostic methods.

The authors have examined ultrasound echograms and photographs of the skin and subcutaneous tissue changes in some skin diseases, reporting their findings. In spite of the preliminary clinical casuistry, this quick, simple and painless technique without irradiation hazard to the patient shows the advantage relating to the other techniques, routine roentenography especially. In conclusion, it is the authors' opinion that the improved scanning technique and greater experience should offer such valuable results, used as an additional method in dermatological diagnostics.
