We report a case of focal dermal hypoplasia associated with ichthyosis in an 18-year-old Korean female. The patient showed a yellowish atrophic patch on the left side of her abdomen, abnormal skin pigmentation, nail dystrophy and ichthyosis since birth.We could also find skeletal and dental deformities. The biopsy specimen obtained from the yellowish atrophic patch showed marked attenuation of collagen fibers and ectopic fatty tissue nearly reaching up to the upper dermis.

We report a case of zosteriform cutaneous metastasis from choangiocarcinomasin a 56-year-old male patient who has asymptomatic and painless erythematous papules and scaly patches over the anterior side of his right upper abdomen along the back, Tendernatome level. Histopathologic examina.tions of the cutaneous lesion reveaed a tumor cell showing glandular structure and multifocal tumor emboli within dilated lymphalics. and a few signetring cells in the dermis. We found that the retrograde studies revealed cholangiocarcinom. after confirmation of zosteriform cutaneous metastasis. He died eight months after the appearance of zosteriform cutaneous metastasis.

BACKGROUND: Indomethacin is a potent inhibitor of prostaglandins biosysnthesis. Sunburn erythema is mainly mediated by prostaglandins. OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to compare objectively the effectiveness of topical indomethacin with topical corticosteroid on the suppression of UVB erythema METHODS: Sixteen male medical students who had not exposed their back skin during the last year were included in this study. According to the individual´s MED, 1,2, and 3 MED of UVB were irradiated on each back in triplicate lines. Immediately after UVB irradiation, 2.5% indomethacin solution and 0.25% desoximethasone were applied to each row with one row left for control. 24 hours after the initial application the intensity of each erythema was measured by the naked eye and by colorimeter. RESULTS: The suppressive effectiveness of 2.5% indomethacin solution on UVB induced erythema was superior to that of 0.25% desoximethasone. The L* and a* value of colorimeter were significantly correlated to the differencies of UVB induced erythema among the experimental and control groups is a useful and rapid method to evaluate the UVB induced erythema, and can give a numerical expression to eye perception. CONCLUSION: Our data confirm that topical indomethacin has a stronger suggestive effect on UVB erythema than that of topical corticosteroid.. We suggest that the suppressive effect of indomethacin is mainly due to the inhibition of prostaglandins biosynthesis. The colorimeter CR-200(MINOLTA) is well correlated with the naked eye score and is a useful instrument for objective measurement of the degree of erythema.

To identify significant prognostic factors in patients undergoing simple hysterectomy in the presence of invasive cervical cancer, the records of 45 patients who had taken such a procedure between 1993 and 1997 were reviewed. Overall relapse-free survival and 5-year survival rates were 91.1 and 92.1%, respectively. Factors found to be significantly related to survival were the retrospectively determined stage(p=0.0000), the presence of residual disease(p=0.0001), and cell type(p=0.0000). By multivariate analysis, factor emerging as significantly detrimental to survival was the cell type. The presence of residual disease was a marginally significant factor(p=0.067). The expectations for survival of patients with residual tumor mass and/or with adenocarcinoma after simple hysterectomy appear to be markedly worse than those with others, so radical reoperation should be considered in those patients.
