Throughout medical science today there is increasing emphasis upon understanding the familial and associated genetic interplay in various disease processes. We observed a case of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease developed in monozygotic male twins. They have some mirror image of each other, for example hair whorl and involved hip. This report of the disease which is present in mirror fashion in idenitical twins illustrates enen more vividly the genetic interaction in the disease. Therefore, those who are aware that Legg-Calve- Perthes disease has appeared in a family should keep in mind the probability of the disease developing in another member.

We have attempted to define the acetabular remodelling after varus derotation osteotomy and limitations of pelvic osteotomy in the treatment of DDH. We studied the case of thirty eight patients (42 hips) who were divided into three groups according to age at operation and into two groups, subluxation with acetabular dyaplasia and complete dislocation. The cases were evaluated the influence of femoral remodeling, age, acetabular response and instability and requirement of other additional surgery. The length of follow up ranged from two to fourteen years. A return to a valgus femoral neck shaft angle by remodeling was observed in case without avascular necrosis of femoral head. Acetabular correction by remodeling occurred in case of well reduced the femoral head in the socket. Acetabular remodeling was observed even in age of 8. Twenty eight of 42 hips which were complete dislocation required no pelvic osteotomy. A varus derotation osteotomy is a necessary procedure for hip stability and open reduction in treatment of DDH. Good results should be anticipated in patient whose femoral head was well seated in the acetablum.

Uterine sarcomas are relatively rare tumors of mesodermal origin that constitute 2-6% of uterine malignancies. Uterine sarcomas include endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS), leiomyosarcoma (LMS), malignant mixed m llerian tumor (MMMT) of both homologous and heterologous type, pure heterologous sarcomas, blood vessel sarcomas, and lymphoma. Endometrial stromal tumors are divided into three types: 1) endometrial stromal nodule, 2) low-grade stromal sarcoma or endolymphatic stromal myosis, and 3) endometrial stromal sarcoma. The low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma is very rare. It shows occasional local recurrence, which might arise from endometrial stroma, from adenomyosis, and rarely from endometriosis. We have experienced a case of low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma of the uterus in a 54-year-old woman, which is presented with a review of literatures.

In Korea, Kerion celsi caused by T. verrucosum was first reported by Kim et al in the Honam province in 1986. Since then three mare cases have been reported in the Young Nam province. Herein present a case of kerion celsi caused by T. verrucosum from Chungcheong province. The patient, a 7-year old female, showed a 4x 4cm sized, oval, yellow crusted and boggy patch with alopecia on the scalp. She was living on a farm in a rural area of Chungcheong province. Cows on the farm also exhibited similar skin lesions on the buttock. The same T. verrucosum was identified by a characteristic colony morphology on Sabourauds dextrose agar and chains of chlamydoconidia with mycologic stain from scales of lesions of patient and cows. This skin lesion was successfully treated with griseofulvin.
