Two cases of fibromatosis are presented. The lesion was biopsied and diagnosis was confirmed by histologic examination. Some reviews with literatures are supplemented.

Most orthopedic surgeons were aimed at the rigid internal fixation on the surgical treatment of the fracture. And the compression plate was developed and regarded as an excellent rigid internal fixation device by its advantages of accurate anatomical reduction, early joint mobilization and shortening of the duration of the fracture healing, which are chief aim of A.S.I.F. method. During the period of January 1970 to December 1979, 67 cases of diaphyseal fractures of the long bones were treated with compression plate according to A.S.I.F. method at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, College of Medicine, Seoul National University and results were obtained as follows: 1. The age of patient was ranged from 15 to 77, and the highest incidence was in the 3rd decade male group (31.4%). 2. Old fracture cases were slightly more than fresh cases, and the fresh femur fracture was the commonest. 3. The periods of the postop immobilization of fresh fractures were 3.7 weeks in humerun fracture, 6.3 weeks in forearm fractures, 8.7 weeks in femur fracture and 7.0 week in tibia fracture, and in old fractures about 4 weeks was longer than fresh fractures. 4. The bony union was accomplished in all cases between 8 week and 24 week. 5. The complication were 4 superficial infections, 4 deep infections, 1 delayed union and 9 joint stiffnesses. 6. Compression plate fixation is considered as an excellent method for the treatment of the fractures of the long bones.

Acetabular fractures assume great clinical importance because acetabular is weight bearing joint in the lower extremity. The undisplaced fractures of the acetabulum gave satisfactory results with closed method, but the treatment of displaced fractures have been controversial. A clinical analysis was performed on the 72 patients with displaced acetabular fractures, who had been treated at Soonchunhyang University Hospital from January 1980 to December 1989. The results obtained were as follows. 1. The prevalent age ranged from 21 to 50 years, which comprised 86.1% of all, and the ratio between male and female was 3:l. 2. The most common cause of injury was traffic accident, which comprised 76.4%. 3. According to Letournel's classification, simple fracture was 38 cases (52.8%), associated fracture was 34 cases (47.2%) and hip dislocation was associated in 28 cases (38.9%) and most common was posterior (20.8%). 4. Closed treatment was done in 47 cases and open treatment in 25 cases. 5. Results of open treatment group were better than closed treatment group in both clinical and roentgenographic study. 6. The complication were occured in 14 (29.8%) out of 47 cases of closed treatment group, and 10 (40.0%) out of 25 cases of open treatment group. 7. Not only choice of treatment but also determination of surgical approach require accurate assessment of the fracture pattern in this region of complex bony architecture by careful radilogic analysis.

A case of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is reported. Most of the alveolar spaces were filled with amorphous deep eosinohilic material which revealed strong positive reaction to periodic acid-Schiff staining. Electron microscopic observation of this material showed numerous lamellar bodies in the alveolar spaces and cytoplasms of alveolar macrophages. A part of them were concentric multilamellated type A lamellar bodies and the other were finger printlike type B bodies. Combined type A and type B lamellar bodies were rarely present. From the above features it is suggested that both type A and B lamellar bodies could be transformed one another and those lamellar bodies may be originated from pulmonary surfactant.

Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis is a very rare skin disease which usually is present from birth. This uncommon condition is due to collections of ectopic. fat cells within the upper and mid dermis. There are two clinical varieties. The first is a lesion of zonal distribution, present from birth or childhood, usualIy on the buttocks or the lower back. The second form, a dome or sessile, papule, begins. in adult life and is less restricted in distribution. Cerebriform plaques tend to form from the coalescence of soft, yellowish papules. The authors observed two cases of typical nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis. The first case is a 25-year-old female who has had asymptomatic, soft, skin colored, and huge confluent nodules on the right infragluteal fold and upper thigh for 15 years; and the second case is a 15-year-old male who has had multiple, skin colored and soft papules or nodules in zosteriform distribution affecting the right side of the lower back and coccygeal area and right buttock for 4 years. The authors made the diagnosis of nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis from the characteristic clinical and histopathological findings.
