Tinea barbae is one of the relatively rare chronic dermatophytosis of adult male, developing on the beard and moustache area of the face. We observed in a 50-year-old male patient who showed atypical clinical findings of tinea barbae. Initially, we impressed sycosis vulgaris, due to diffuse multiple pustular nodules with swelling on the beard area and both cheek of the face. We had treated him by antibiotics anri no improvement was noticed. On the 20th day from first visit, Trichophyton mentagrophytes was identified, and histopathologic exam revealed many spores and hyphae on the hair follicle. His skin lesions were almostly cleared after injestion of 5 months period of griseofulvin.

A case of right ovarian vein syndrome is reported with a review of literature. The patient presented was a 29 year-old multipara and eighth month of pregnancy. The extirpation of entire right ovarian vein, including it's all tributaries produced a good result and has not caused interruption of pregnancy. The clinical situation due to aberrant right ovarian vein is probably more frequent than heretofore suspected, by reason of a frown of X-rays during pregnancy and also an unawareness of the condition. Therefore, if clinical observations and X-ray studies are performed, more cases of such a condition. will be expected.

The pilomatricoma (Calcifying Epithelioma of Malherbe) is rare benign tumor of adnexal keratinocytes. It is occuring usually as a single, asymptomatic, 0. 5 cm to 3. 0 cm sized, deep seated, firm nodule, covered by normal or pink skin. Multiple pilomatricoma is relatively rare, as 3. 5% of reported cases of pilomatricoma. A 21-year-old male patient had 7 subcutaneous nodules on the neck, both upper extremities and trunk for 9 years. We excised one of them, under the impression of calcinosis cutis, cysticercosis cutis or benign skin tumor. But histopathologic findings of the lesion showed the typical pattern of pilomatricoma with shadow cells, calcification and foreign body giant cells. Five of remainders were excised and they showed same histopathological findings of pilomatricoma. The authors presented herein one case of multiple pilomatricoma with the review of literature.

Surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament is undergoing constant evolution. The variable success of these procedures can be attributed to many factors including graft selection, graft placement, graft tensioning, graft remodelling and rehabilitation program. Rigid fixation is probably the most important factor in the success of these procedures during the initial stages of healing. Arthroscopically assisted reconstruction of the ACL-deficient knee using a bone-patellar tendon-bone graft(two-incision technique) is a reliable and evolving technique. Rosenberg et al, described a one-incision technique that allows endosteal fixation of bone plugs within their femoral tunnels intraarticularly via the intercondylar notch. These two techniques are different from their femoral tunnel direction and bone plug placement. The present study was designed to develop a swine model for in vitro biomechanical testing of the bone-patellar tendon-bone ACL autograft to compare the pull-out strength of Outside-In technique and Inside-Out technique. The result were as follows: 1. Normal ACL(N=10 knees) pull-out tensile strength tests showed a maximum tensile strength of 1295.34(N), a stiffness of 120.95(N/mm), and a linear load of 1104.26(N). The failure sites were all tibial attachments. 2. Femoral and Tibial interference fit pull-out tensile strength tests(N=10 knees) showed a maximum tensile strength of 463.23±42.27(N), a stiffness of 33.62±3.18(N/mm), and a linear load of 392.51±95.42(N). The failure sites were all in the tibial tunnel area(N=9 knees), except for one which femoral tunnel area. 3. Inside-Out technique(N=15 knees) showed a maximum tensile strength of 1250.64±75.67(N), a stiffness of 94.31±26.44(N/mm), and a linear load of 1046.92±367.55(N), but the Outside-In tech-nique(N=15 knees) showed a maximum tensile strength of 805.35±54.61(N), a stiffness of 83.33±10.98(N/mm), and a linear load of 685.99±86.32(N)(p < 0.0001). The failure sites were all in the femoral tunnel area. 4. Tensile testing demonstrated that the Inside-Out technique was significantlly stronger than Outside-In technique for maximum tensile strength, stiffness and a linear load.

Hemimegalencephaly is an uncommon sporadic congenital malformation of the central nervous system characterized by enlargement of one cerebral hemisphere with cranial asymmetry, hemiparesis, epilepsy, and mental retardation. This report deals with a 12-month-old girl with intractable seizure and developmental delay, who revealed hemispheric asymmetry and enlarged right cerebral hemisphere. MRI scan revealed asymmetric enlargement of right cerebral hemisphere with lissencephaly and multifocal calcification. She underwent right frontal lobectomy and parietal cortical resection, but died of complication of surgery. Histological features included loss of cortical lamination, large atypical neurons, neuronal heterotopia, and astrocytosis with dystrophic calcification. The heterotopic neurons in the white matter were suggestive of aberrant neuronal migration.

Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) of the ovary are rare tumors with an exclusive or almost exclusive malignant neuroectodermal composition, and are generally regarded as a monodermal expression of an ovarian teratoma. The tumors are basically identical with the lesions of the same name occuring typically in the central nervous system of children. These tumors consist chiefly of undifferentiated small cells resembling neuroblasts. There are also mature, well- differentiated neuroectodermal cells, such as astrocytes and ependymal cells. We report a case of ovarian PNET with glial and neuroblastic differentiation and focal teratomatous foci of non-neural tissue in a 17-year-old female.
