This case is an interesting case because of its exceptionally huge size without any deep tissue involvement and tissue atypia. This suggests that giant condyloma is an intermediate condition that exhibits a continuous tendency for growth.

Eventhough the number of patients with atopy in the CTCL group was higher than the control cases, there was no significant different. On the other hand high levels of serum IgE, elevated eosinophil count and specific IgE positivity may be found in CTCL patients with or without atopic disease, especially with high stages.

Background: The relationship between acne and psychological well-being has been a subject of controversy. There is paucity of data on the role of anger in acne vulgaris. The present study was designed to delineate the relevant psychometric characteristics of acne vulgaris and specifically to shed light on the role of anger in acne vulgaris. Patients and Methods: 31 acne vulgaris patients and 25 controls with healthy skins were recruited in the study. The subjects were assessed by Beck Depression Inventory, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and Spielberger State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory. Results: The acne group had significantly higher scores on depression and trait anxiety scales and their self-esteem was significantly lower than controls. No significant difference was detected on anger-related subscales between the acne and control groups. Conclusions: Our data indicate that acne has a serious impact on the patients’ lives. We also conclude that no association exists between anger and acne vulgaris.

Mycosis fungoides is very rare in children. Hypopigmented lesions of this disease are usually observed in dark-skinned individuals and often show a T supressor CD8(+) phenotype. Two Caucasian children with predominantly hypopigmented lesions of mycosis fungoides are presented here. Atopy was a concomitant feature in both.
