Nevus of Ota is a hamartoma of dermal melanocytes. Clinically, Nevus of Ota is manifested as blue or gray patch on the face; such condition is congenital or acquired and is within the distribution of branches of the trigeminal nerve. The nevus can be unilateral or bilateral. In addition to skin, it may involve ocular and oral mucosal surfaces. The case of an 18-year old female with unilateral bluish black macule on the right side of the face since birth is presented. She also had a bluish patch on the right shoulder at birth, which disappeared when she turned 10 years. The pathogenesis of Nevus is unknown, and effective treatment has been realized with pigment-specific lasers.

This case occurred following accidental consumptions of toxic levels of feedstuffs in the Korean indigenous cattle which were pregnant for 3-6 months. Grossly, poorly defined bluish coloration in the ventral sac of the rumen, reticulum and omasum was visible on the surface of the stomach. The severely affected ruminal walls were perforated and blood-tinged exudate was observed and death followed due to acute diffuse peritonitis. There were copious amount of porridgelike rumen contents, which has a distinct fermentative odor. The epithelia were easily wiped off and hyperemic in patch. Histopathologically, chemical rumenitis with neutrophilic infiltration and opportunistic fungal infection was evident in the mucosa and submucosa. Multifocal necrotic foci with fungal hyphae on the liver and severe congestion on the renal medulla were noted. There was no evidence of heavy metal and aflatoxin Bl in the suspected feedstuffs. This case was diagnosed as acute carbohydate engorgement in cattle.

Microvenular hemangioma (MVH) is a rare acquired benign vascular neoplasm, which presents commonly as a solitary purple-to-red nodule or plaque measuring approximately 10 mm in diameter. MVH occurs primarily on the extremities or the trunk. Most lesions are solitary, and multiple lesions are rare. Histopathological features of MVH include numerous, scattered, thin and irregularly branching small vessels in the dermis and endothelial cells without atypia. Owing to similarities in clinical morphology and histopathological features, MVH may often be indistinguishable from the early patch stage of Kaposi sarcoma. Immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis helps differentiate between the 2 diseases. The results of IHC tests in patients with MVH show positive staining for CD31 and smooth muscle actin and typically, negative staining for the human herpes virus 8 antigen. We report a rare case of multiple MVH clinically mimicking the early patch stage of Kaposi sarcoma in a 63-year-old woman who presented with a 3-year history of slowly growing, compressible, soft, bluish-purple macules and plaques on the trunk and right arm.

2023년 8월 한국 제주도 남부 해역에서 참서대과에 속하는 Symphurus longirostris의 치어 1개체가 채집되었다. Mitochondrial DNA 16S rRNA 영역의 염기서열 475 base pairs를 분석한 결과, 이 표본은 일본의 S. longirostris 완모식표본과 일치하였으며(Kimura-2-parameter distance, d=0.002), 동속의 보섭서대, S. orientalis (d=0.199)와는 잘 구분되었다. 이 종의 치어는 등지느러미와 뒷지느러미 기저부에 1열의 흑색소포를 가지며, 등지느러미 기저의 흑색소포는 등지느러미 13~14번째 기조 부근에서 끊어져 있다. 또한, 복강의 가장 등쪽은 청흑색을 띤다. 국내 분포하는 보섭서대와는 지느러미 기조 수, 척추골 수 등의 계수형질과 유안측 복강 위쪽의 흑색소포군의 유무에서 잘 구분된다. 본 종은 일본의 Wakasa Bay 및 Tosa Bay에서 보고되었으며, 이번 연구를 통해 한국 제주 남부 해역에서도 출현하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 우리나라에서 처음으로 확인된 S. longirostris의 기록이며, 본 종에 대한 새로운 국명으로 "긴코보섭서대"를 제안한다.
