    Kindler syndrome (KS) is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis. We report two cases of KS with classical clinical presentations involving skin and mucus membranes. Clinically، both patients had four major features of KS in the form of acral skin blistering، photosensitivity، progressive poikiloderma، and diffuse cutaneous atrophy. Case 1 had associated features in the form of urethral stenosis، skin fragility and palmoplantar keratoderma with extension of the scaling onto the flexor aspect of the wrist and loss of palmar creases. Case 2 had associated features in form of anal stenosis، oesophageal stenosis، skin fragility and palmoplantar keratoderma with loss of palmar creases. An Interesting finding in our report is that both cases have prominent telengectasia involving face and neck regions.

    Fibroepithelial polyps, also named as soft warts, skin tags, or acrochordons, are common benign lesions that may occur on trunk or exterimities. Its association with infectious agents is unclear. Herein, We report a case of extensive fibroepithelial -like polyps on the foot of an AIDS patient following radiotherapy for Kaposi''s sarcoma.

    Piebaldism is an autosomal dominant uncommon (<1 in 20,000) congenital pigmentary disorder. Depigmented patches are present since birth. They usually remain unchanged throughout life. Vitiligo is its closest differential diagnosis. We report a unique family in which these two dissimilar depigmentations, i.e. piebaldism and vitiligo (with nevus depigmentosus), were noted in two brothers. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of this presentation in the literature.

    We describe a 31-year-old man, a known case of hepatitis C infection for 11 years, who presented with a chronic non-healing large deep ulcer on the dorsum of the right foot for five months. Fusarium solani infection was confirmed by skin biopsy and culture. The biopsy specimen showed an unusually extensive dermal invasion with fungal hyphae. The patient''s response to oral itraconazole 100 mg/day for 3 months was excellent. Closed monitoring of liver enzymes was done before and during the treatment course.

    Vitiligo and Lichen Planus, two common dermatologic disorders, are expected to coexist. This leads to diverse theories regarding their immunopathogenesis linkage. In this case, we report a twenty-year-old man suffering from simultaneous lichen planus and vitiligo which were both generalized at the time of observation and also concomitant throughout their entire course of progression. Lichen Planus papules were located on sun-exposed areas and non sun-exposed areas; both on vitiligenous areas and non-vitiligenous areas diminishing current theories about the association of the two diseases. Since we did not have the patient’s consent to perform a series of biopsies, we were unable to evaluate dermatopathology of the two diseases at different sites in regard to sun exposure. Further extensive researches on larger scales seem warranted to propose any kind of theory regarding their interconnection.

    Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), previously known as nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy, is an emerging systemic fibrosing disorder that develops in the setting of renal insufficiency. Nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD) is a fibrosing condition of the skin which shows an increased number of dendritic cells, fibroblasts and thickened collagen fibers resembling scleromyxedema. It is characterized by indurated plaques mainly on the extremities and the absence of paraproteinemia. Although the exact causes of NSF have not been established, evidence suggests an association between gadoliniumbased contrast agents and development of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. We report a patient who was under dialysis and developed NSF but she never did MRI.

    Sebaceoma is a benign tumor with sebaceous differentiation. It usually presents as a yellowish papule or nodule on the face and scalp. This is a report of a 27-year-old-woman who presented with a giant, 6cm×4.5 cm exophytic tumor on her head. Clinically, we considered several diseases; however, the histological and immunohistochemical features matched those of sebaceoma. The lesion was excised and the defect was repaired by a split-thickness graft.

    Erosive dermatitis is a skin reaction associated with implantable cardiac devices (ie, pacemakers and cardioverter defibrillators). We report a 65-year-old man with a history of several cerebrovascular attacks who developed an erythematous crusted erosive patch over the pacemaker site after implantation of two subsequent pacemakers. We suggest that physical irritation may be a trigger factor for both pacemakers and changing the type of pacemaker is not important in some cases.

    Lipomembranous panniculitis is a special type of fat necrosis which has been associated with several clinical conditions, mainly chronic venous insufficiency and connective tissue disorders such as lupus profundus, morphea, systemic sclerosis, and dermatomyositis. We report a 50 yearold woman with known rheumatoid arthritis who presented with a painful indurated erythematous plaque on her right leg. Histologic examination demonstrated cystic areas of fat necrosis lined by wavy eosinophilic hyaline membrane with convoluted projections of the membrane into the cysts. This finding is diagnostic of lipomembranous panniculitis. To our knowledge, this is the first report on lipomembranous panniculitis associated with rheumatoid arthritis.

    Tinea versicolor is caused by Malassezia furfur and presents as hypo or hyper-pigmented coalescing scaly macules on the trunk and upper arms. Sites of predilection are the sternal region and the sides of the chest, the abdomen, back, pubis, neck, and intertriginous areas. We report a case of tinea versicolor with a reticulated pattern on acral sites.
