OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to analyse clinical manifestations and laboratory findings in childhood patients with polyarticularonset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). METHODS: Eleven cases of polyarticular JRA who were diagnosed and treated in the Department of Pediatrics, Seoul National University Children's Hospital from June 1988 to May 1995 were investigated for clinical manifestations and laboratory findings. RESULTS: 1) There were 6 males and 5 females and their ages of onset were 4 years to 15.1 years(mean 10.9 years). 2) Systemic manifestations were not observed, but low-grade fever was noted in 5 patients. 3) The involvement of joints was symmetric in 9 patients and asymmetric in 2 patients. 4) The most commonly affected joints were knees and ankles, followed by proximal interphalangeal joints of hand, shoulder, elbow, temporomandibular joint, and other joints. 5) Roentgenographic changes of joints were detected in 6 patients and bone scan in 7 patients showed increased uptake in the involved joints. 6) The main laboratory findings observed were microcytic and hypochromic anemia (64%), thrombocytosis (82%), elevated eryhtrocyte sedimentation rate (100%), positive or increased C-reactive protein(100%), positive rheumatoid factor(RF) (18%), positive antinuclear antibody(ANA) (27%). RF was positive in 2 girls with later age of onset and the pattern of immunofluorescent ANA were all homogeneous. 7) Nonsteroid antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were used most frequently and steroid with or without sulfasalazine was tried in 4 patients unresponsive to NSAIDs. 8) At last follow-up, 6 cases(55%) were classified as functional class I, 4 cases(36%) as class II, and 1 case(9%) as class III. CONCLUSION: These data showed the clinical manifestations and laboratory findings of polyarticularonset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in Korean children.

Neurofibromatosis is a syndrome of multiple neurofibromas, abnormal skin pigmentation and certain bony abnormalities. Sometimes the growth of plexiform neurofibromatosis on the face or trunk is centripetal and usually involves the mediastinum and skull base. However, it is very rare that neurofibromatosis involves the trigeminal ganglion. Its encroachment around the foramina of the skull base may induce facial palsy or conductive hearing loss. The guiding principle in the treatment of generalized neurofibromatosis is a radical excision with preservation of vital structures and an immediate reconstruction of the bony skeleton and soft tissue defect. The authors experienced 4 cases of neurofibromatosis involving the trigeminal ganglion. All had trigeminal symptoms for 3 to 4 years. These were severe headache and intractable trigeminal neuralgia. Tumors in all 4 cases were spread in the centripetal type from extracranial neurofibromatosis. The facial nerve was affected in 4 cases. Malignat Schwannoma occurred in 1 case. Accurate diagnosis and assessments were necessary with CT, MRI art oomputer-aided simulation design. Intraoperative bleeding was minimal with hypotensive anesthesia. Surgical approach to the middle cranial fossa involved temporary removal of the zygomatic arch and TMJ disarticulation with downward traction of the mandible. Satisfactory results have been obtained far 3 to 7 years(mean 5 years) follow-up.

Here, a case of a 59-year-old man with rotator cuff tear and impingement syndrome caused by an ossified coracoacromial ligament is presented. Ossification of the coracoacromial ligaments can occur because of degenerative changes due to trauma or repeated stress, which can lead to impingement syndrome. Therefore, when coracoacromial ligament ossification is present, rotator cuff damage due to impingement syndrome should be considered. Here, we conducted arthroscopic subacromial decompression, removal of the ossified coracoacromial ligament, and supraspinatus and subscapularis tendon repairs. We achieved satisfactory surgical outcomes without relapse; therefore, we report this case with a literature review.

Cutaneous leiomyoma is a benign tnmor originating from smooth muscle fibers which are derived from arrector pili muscle, media of blood vessels and dartoic muscle of scrotum, vulvar, or nipple. It is classified into 3 types according to the site of origin, namely pilar leiomyoma, angioleiomyoma and genital leiomyoma. Leiomyoma of the nipple is the less kquent type of cutaneous leiomyoma. We report a case of cutaneous leiomyoma on the nipple in a 53-year-old man.
