Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis in a six-year-old boy.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) presents with an abrupt onset of widespread pustules on erythematous base and rapid spontaneous healing. AGEP may have a variety of causative factors such as drugs, viral infection and exposure to mercury. We report a case of AGEP in a 6-year-old boy who presented with acute onset of fever and widespread pustular eruption on erythematous bases. Histologic examination showed neutrophilic subcorneal spongiform pustule. It is an uncommon condition in children.

Mucinous eccrine nevus.

A 46-year-old man with an erythematous, tender, swollen patch on the dorsum of his left fourth toe visited us. The biopsied tissue showed a proliferation of normally structured eccrine glands and ducts surrounded with abundant materials confirmed as mucin by toluidine blue stain. Mucinous eccrine nevus is an extremely rare entity, and only two cases have been reported in the literature. We describe a case of mucinous eccrine nevus which was late in onset and presented as a swollen patch.
