Ultrasongraphy is a safe, noninvasive examination which should be the first procedure in the workup of apatient with a definite or suspected pelvic masses. The diagnostic schemes were derived from correlating the sonographic features with histomorphology in 230 surgically proven pelvic masses. Besides separating pelvic masses into the conventional categories of cystic, complex and solid, grayscale sonographic features of a pelvic mass canbe used to subcategorized these masses into a more useful differential diagnosis. The results are as follows; 1.The most characteristic finding of uterine myoma was midly to mederately echogenic uterine enlargement (90.7%)with a lobulated uterine margin (62.8%), and often less echogenic than the normal uterine echoes. 2. The typical ultrasonographic finding of H-mole was uterine enlargement with multiple small vesicular patterns of intrauterincontents(93%). 3. The most frequent finding of cystic teratoma was cystic mass with echogenic foci(48%), but the echogenic appearance of the lesions was extremely variable. 4. The ultrasonographic findings of ectopic pregnancywere adnexal mass(comlex or cystic), decidual proliferation of the uterus, enlargement of uterine size, fluid incul-de-sac, deveiation of uterus by adnexal mass, and psuedointrauterine appearance. 5. Ultrasound provided information leading to the correct diagnosis in 57% of cases, contributory data in 21.3%, and non-specific information in 10.4%. Errors occured in 3.9% and false-negative in 7.4%.

We present here, a case of pemphigus erythematosus developed in a 31-year-old woman, who had been suffering from repeated episode, of remission and exacerbation with several erythematous, and somewhat oozing patche accompanying a mild pruritus or her face, upper part of the back and anterior chest. In serological studies, she had antinuclear antiboc@lies at. a titer of 1:160. Histopathological finding showed subcorneal bullae. Immunofluorescent study revealed IgG and C, deposition in the intercellular space of the epidermis and along the de rmoepidermal junction.

The authors analyzed ultrasonographic findings of 112 cases of trophoblastic disases which were confirmed byD&E or hysterectomy at Wallace Memorial Baptist Hospital from September 1980 to December 1984. The results were asfollows; 1. Of all 112 cases, hydatidiform moles were 99 cases, invasive moles were 3 cases and choriocarcinomas were 10 cases. 2. 81 cases (72%) occurred in 3rd decades. 3. The sized of uterus was large for gestational weeksin 65 cases(56%) and smaller in 13 cases(13%). 4. The contour of uterus was globular in 59 cases(53%), diffuse in49 cases(44%) and nodular in 4 cases(3%). 5. The internal echopatterns of uterus revealed numerous small vesicular snowstorm patterns in all cases, and revealed internal degeneration in 67 cases(60%). 6. Uterine walls in 89 cases(79%) were well delineated but uterine walls in 23 cases(21%) were poor delineated. 7. Multiseptated ovarian thecalutein cysts were seen in 36 cases (32%). 8. Invasive trophoblastic disease(invasive moles 3 cases andchoriocarcinomas 10 cases) revealed similiar ultrasonographic findings with H-mole, but more irregular internalechoes and irregular echoes in uterine wall. 9. Diagnostic accuracy was diagnostic in 98 cases (88%) , nonspecificin 11 cases (10%) and error in 3 cases(2%).

The clinical and biological study for Sarcoptes scabiei from 66 scabies patients was performed form Nov. 1974 to April 1975. The diagnosis of these scabies patients were confirmed by method proposed by Muller et al. The results were as follows; 1) Male to female ratio is 5. 6: 1 in total patients and predominant age group is in 16~20 in both sexes(Table 1). 2) 50% of cases had family history of similar troubles and the duration of subjective symptom complaind at their first visit was 1~2 weeks in 20 cases, 3~4 weeks in 25, 2 months in 10, and over 3 months and unknown were 12. 3) Suspected sources of infestation were, 22 cases from one of their family members, 15 at hotel, 7 at boarding house, 2 at camping, 1 at military camp, 19 were unknown. 4) Distribution of burrows was hand(79.4%), wrist(12.4%), foot(3.1%), penis(2.6%) scrotum(2.1%) and axillary area(0.5%). Number of burrows was 1~2 in 61.4%, 3~4 in 19.3%, 5~6 in 5.3%, 7~8 in 1.8%, 9~10 in 5.3% and 10 in 7. 6%. 5) 44 patients (66.7%) were confirmed by finding of female mite and among them 50% had 1 female mite, 36.7% had 2, 6.8% had 3, 2.3% had 4 and 4.5% had 6. 6) 69 among total 79 female mites detected were found at burrow, 6 from papule and 4 from vesicle. Total 7 male mites were found from patients and 4 from papules and 2 from veside and 1 from pustule(Table 5) 7) From total 194 burrows examined 69 female mites (36.1%) were found and non of male mite were found. 8) Mean size of female mite(length*breadth) was 359.3u*266.5u, male mite 21.1u*160.9u, larva 131.8ux94.2u, egg with developing larva 167.3*93.6u, egg with developed larva 159.7u * 92.3u and scybala 18.7u x 12.3u. Sizes of egg with developing larva and egg with developed larva had no significant difference, statistically.

The statistics of 40,611 new cases of skin diseases seen in Dermatologic department of Chonnam University Hospital from 1971 to 1980 are analysed and significant changes in incidence of the 25 most common dermatoses are discussed in detail and the results are comared with other surveys. The results of this study are summed up in 4 tables. Table 1. Shows the annual frequency of the 25 most common dermatoses. Table 2. Shows the frequency of the 25 most common dermatoses by age group. Table 3. Shows the frequency of the 25 most common derrnatoses by season, sex and region. Table 4. Shows the comparison of frequency of the 20 most common dermatoses with other reports.
