SUMMARY Ten cases of pemphigus vegetans of Neumann type are reported. Six of these showed clinically distinctive changes in the tongue for which the term cerebriform tongue is proposed. Histological examination of the tongue showed typical features of pemphigus vegetans.

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is an intermediate-grade vascular tumor arising from the vascular endothelium, which usually arises in soft tissue, and skin involvement is extremely rare. We report a case that presented with primary cutaneous tumor involving the whole limb and was present since birth.

Olmsted syndrome is an uncommon genetic disorder with symmetrical, diffuse, transgredient, mutilating palmoplantar keratoderma and periorificial hyperkeratosis. Olmsted syndrome in a female patient is particularly rare, and we report two unrelated female patients of Olmsted syndrome, who presented with perioral hyperkeratosis and palmoplantar keratoderma. One of our patients also had woolly hair from birth and flexion contracture of a digit, while the other had pseudoainhum. There was no cardiac involvement. Hence, the diagnosis of Olmsted syndrome was made.
