There has been no report on human infection of Hymenolepis diminuta in Korea until the first 3 cases were reported by our members after the identification of those eggs in stool in 1964. However, the distinct differentiation between H. diminuta and H. nana would often be difficult by the shape of eggs without adult worm. In 1965, authors found the additional case revealed the eggs in stool and succeeded to obtain three adult worms of H. diminuta from 10 years old boy in Pusan. The characteristic morphology of egg and adult worm were discussed to compare to those of H. nana. Conclusively, the first human infection of H. diminuta in Korea was reported after the identification both the eggs and adults worms

Skull base surgery has developed through the evolution of imaging, anatomic research, surgical approach and reconstructive techiques. The basic disciplines of approaching skull base lesions are to provide direct vision, minimize brain retraction, allow excellent exposure and minimal blood loss. Although many advantages listed above are reported, objective long-term follow up results about post-operative complications of this procedures were not introduced. This study was designed to review the complications of skull base approach that we experienced 43 cases by a team approach with neurosurgery-supraorbital rim osteotomy, orbitozygomatic osteotomy, orbitozygom aticoglen-oidotomy, orbitozygomaticoglenoidocondylotomy, and transfrontonasomaxillary osteotomy-through objective evalutation criteria. The result of this study demonstrated that the type of complications were consisted with perioperative infection (5 cases), subdural empyema (1 case), CSF leakage(1 case), hematoma (1 case), meningitis (3 cases), ophthalmic nerve injury (1 case),facial nerve injury (2 cases), T-M joint problem ( 2 cases), & enophthalmos ( 2cases). In conclusion, after performing the different skull base approaches, we analyzed several complications of the above procedures. We analyzed with the purpose of preventing complications in the next skull base approach.

Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare neoplasm of young adults and it is characterized by polyphenotypic differentiation. We experienced a case of abdominal DSRCT that occurred in a 19-year-old female who presented with painful swelling of her right forearm. The tumor was cytokeratin-negative and it exhibited some tumor cells with intranuclear inclusions. Molecular demonstration of EWS-WT1 fusion transcripts is particularly useful to confirm the diagnosis of DSRCT without epithelial differentiation. We report here on a case of cytokeratin-negative DSRCT that showed an unusual feature of intranuclear inclusions.

Cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa(CPAN) is a benign form of rare vasculitis of small and medium-size arteries with a recurrent but benign course without systemic involvement. We experienced a 61-year-old male who had two months history of multiple deep-purpurish livedo reticularis on both lower legs. Noncutaneous manifestations including malaise, fever, myalgia, and arthritis were absent. A skin biopsy specimen from the livedo reticularis on the leg showed perivascular and trans-mural neutrophilic and lymphocytic infiltration of medium-sized arteries in the dermal-subcutaneous junction and fibrinoid necrosis of the vessel walls. The patient was treated with colchicine for 2months and showed markded improvement.
