LSA of the glans and prepuce of the penis is uncommon. It usually appears as whitish plaques and macules and can progress to orificial narrowing, phimosis and carcinorna. The case presented herein showed distinct papules and nodules on the glans and inner side of the prepuce instead of usual flattened patches. The patient, 24 years old man, was seen first seven months after his initial notice of the illness and has been observed by the authors four years thereafter. For the first year the papuloncdules on the glans were hard in consistence and the glans itself was being contracting, From the third year, the hard papulonodules began to resolve but resulted in greatly contracted glans penis. To observe the diagncsic histopathological finding repeated biopsies were needed.

Bowen's disease is intraepidermal squamous cell carcinoma involving skin and certain mucocutaneous junctions. The disease usually persues a slow relatively benign course but may progress to invasive squamous cell carcinoma. The present case, 67-years-old male, showed multiple dark brownish somewhat elevated horny lesions on the trunk and extremities including both palms. Some of the lesions had the appearance of small horns. Multiple biopsy specimens revealed typical histological findings of Bowen's disease or frank invasive squamous cell carcinoma. according to the each biopsy site. Authors treated all the lesions with surgical avulsion and electrodesiccation with curettage under general anestthesia and subsequent topical 5-FU ointment application.

Pemphigus vulgaris is serious mucocutaneous bullous disease and is rarely reported in this country. The authors had observed a patient with pemphigus vulgaris from its early stage to the autopsy, including a total of five admissions. The patient had satisfactorily responded to low doses of prednisolone (60mg/day) initially and high doses (up to 180mg/day) later, but the patient died unexpectedly during admission. Autopsy finding revealed extensive soft tissue abscesses in both gluteofemoral regions from which Pseudomonas aeruginosa was cultured.

A case of osteochondritis dissecans of both knee joints is developed in 15 year old boy. Since the original articles of Paget, Koning and others were reported, many theories as to etiology and pathogenesis have been proposed but exact cause has been unknown. Many Joint may show evidence of osteochondritis dissecans but lateral aspect of medial femoral condyle of knee is by far the most frequent site. Under the diagnosis of osteochondritis dissecans of both knees with clinical symptoms and X-ray finding, the one was treated with excision of framents and curettage, and the other treated with drilling of fragments. In follow up study for one year, the result was good without any complaints.
