Multiple clear cell acanthomas were observed on the legs of a 77-year-old male patient. Some of the tumors showed a tendency to aggregate in a circumscribed area on his right lower leg. The multiple occurrence of these benign epidermal tumors is extremely rare; moreover, there has not been observed any tendency to aggregation so far.
A 56-year-old male patient suffering from subungual exostosis of the big toe is reported. The painful tumour was treated ineffectively for a number of years after being mistaken for verruca vulgaris. The histological diagnosis was benign osteochondroma, having a roentgenographic appearance of exostosis. Local curettage of the subungual exostosis is the treatment of choice.
