    Notes: Background:  It has been described that the etiology of epidermal cysts on acral skin is different from that on non-acral skin; however, no papers have been published regarding the detailed histological differences between acral and non-acral epidermal cysts. In this study, we compared the clinicopathologic findings of epidermal cysts of the sole with those of traditional epidermal cysts and trichilemmal cysts.Methods:  The cases studied were 12 epidermal cysts of the sole, 35 traditional (non-acral) epidermal cysts, and 12 trichilemmal cysts. The age and sex of the patients and the site, size, and microscopic findings of the lesions were evaluated.The pattern of keratinization was specifically focused on the evaluation of microscopic findings.Results:  Microscopically, most of the epidermal cysts of the sole showed the presence of parakeratosis and focal lack of a granular layer at least at the upper portion of the cyst wall. The cyst content of the epidermal cysts of the sole was predominantly compact orthokeratotic material. These pathological findings could be explained by the pathogenesis of epidermal cysts of the sole, namely invagination of the surface epidermis.Conclusion:  Our study indicates that most cases of the epidermal cyst of the sole are considered to be a true traumatic epidermal inclusion cyst.

    Notes: Summary The aetiological agent of cat scratch disease (CSD) has been unknown for more than 30 years. Recently, a micro-organism clearly shown with Warthin-Starry silver (W-S) stain was found and thought to be a possible cause of the disease. In this study, 32 cases of regional lymphadenopathy histologically compatible with CSD and 20 contrasting cases of lymphadenopathy were examined retrospectively with W-S stain. W-S positive pleomorphic organisms were clearly demonstrated in 20 of the 32 suspected cases of CSD, but in none of the other cases. The onset of disease in these 20 cases with W-S positive organisms occurred between July and January. This seasonal variation in the onset of disease was highly significant (P〈0.005) and was not due to a single epidemic. Moreover, some characteristic morphological features of the organism were found by electron microscopic observations. Ultrastructurally, the organism was a bacterium showing a chain-like arrangement, septal formation, branching and clubbed ends.
