Acinic cell tumor, a rare tumor of the salivary gland origin, consists of cells similar to the serous cells of the salivary gland. The tumor is almost exclusively paroti4 gland origin, accounting for 2. 7 to 4. 0% of all parotid tumors. The tumor is not,benign but has at least a low-grade malignant potential. We described herein a case of acinic cell tumor which had occurred on an unusual site, right inner epicanthal area of a 9-year-old girl Microscopically, a hematoxylin-eosin stained biopsy specimen showed rnany lobules com of round or polyhedral tumor cells. Each tumor cell had distinct cell membrane, clear cytoplasm, and relative1y eccentric nucleus. The cytoplasm of tumor cell cantaine4 diastase resistant PAS-positive material.

Multicystic ovary was first described by Silver in 1958 as a rare case feature of acquired primary hypothyroidism. In 1980, Lindsay reported four girls with hypothyroidism associated with multicystic ovary diagnosed by pelvic ultrasonography. The mechanism of ovarian cyst formation and pseudoprecocious puberty in severe hypothyroidism in childhood are unknown. Increased ovarian sensitivity to GnRH and increased TSH level which acts on FSH receptor is one of the mechanism explained. We report a case of a girl with primary hypothyroidism presented with pseudoprecocious puberty and giant follicular ovarian cyst with torsion.

Control of tuberculosis is threatened by widesread emergence of drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Rifampin is a key component among therapeutic regimens for the tuberculosis; therefore patients in whom resistance to this drug develop have a poor outlook, particularly if rifampin resistance is associated with resistance to other tuberculosis drugs. The purpose of this study was to detect the mutation in rpoB gene of rifampin resistant M. tuberculosis in Korea and to evaluate the usefulness of the method in clinical aspects. A sample of 80 M. tuberculosis was studied, and it included 40 rifampin resistance isolates and 40 rifampin sensitive isolates by conventional methods. The detection method involved the amplification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of the Rif' region and the identification of mutations by single-strand DNA conformation polymorphism analysis (SSCP) of the amplification products (157 bp). Mutation were identified in 39 of 40 rifampin resistant isolates, and in 1 of 40 rifampin sensitive isolates.
