We report a case who has been diagnosed as lipodytrophia centrifugalis abdomialis juvenilis. The patient was a 9 year-old girl. At the age of 4 years, these well-defined, depressed lesions appeared in both ing-uinal areas and gradually spread to the labia major, the abdomen and both flank areas and, by 9 years, had reached lower portion of the chest. Biopsy specimen from the depressed lesion showed absence of the subcutsneous fat. The epidermal appendage were well preserved. There were lympho-histiocytic infiltrations around the blood vessels in the upper dermis.

The number of non-specific urethritis(NSU) is exceeding more and more that of Gonorrhea in developed nations and sorne of the developing countries especially in our country. Chlamydia trachomatis and Ureaplasma urealyticum, which are the most suspected etiologic agents of NSU, are sensitive to either tetracycline or erythromycin. We compared the effect of oral tetracycline to erythromycin in the treatment of male NSU. The subjects were 524 male patients with NSU at the VD clinic of the Choong Ku Public Health Center in Seoul during 16 months period from January 1980 to April 1981, The diagnostic criterial of NSU were; 1) Five or PMN/HPF in Gram-stained smears of urethral dischage of centrifuged sediment of urine, 2) no Gram-negative intracellular diplococci in Gram stained smears of urethral discharge, 3) no growth of Neisseria gonorrheae in Thayer-Martin media, 4) no Trichomonas vaginalis or Candida albicans in centrifuged sediment of urine.

Following on from diagnosis using ultrasound, hydrostatic reduction using saline enema under ultrasoundguidance was tried in 20 cases of childhood intussusception. The conclusions were as follows: 1. Success rates ofsaline enema under ultrasound guidance during a frist-8 month period(P1) and a second 10 month period(P2) were55.6%(5/9) and 54.5%(6/11) respectively. Average succes rate was 55%(11/20). 2. During the periods of P1 and P2,no case was reduced by barium enema in 6 cases of failed reduction with saline enema. 3. During the period of P2, 5 cases of successful redution with saline enema were confirmed by clinical follow-up without barium enema. 4.During the periods of P1 and P2, 9 cases of failed reduction with saline enema were operated, resulting in 6 casesof segmental resection and 3 cases of manual reduction. 5. The obvious advantages of this method are: 1. Noradiation hazard. 2. No fear of barium peritonitis. 3. Detection of leading point. 6. With above results, thismethod could completely replace barium enema. And ultrasonography should be the initial study in the evaluation ofintussusception in children and then if necessary, saline enema under ultrasound guidance should be done.

A case of primary lymphosarcoma of the prostate gland proved by Silvermann needle biopsy was presented. Lymphosarcoma of the prostate is a rare condition, and only 23 cases have been reported in medical literature. In Culver's series, 74 per cent were sarcoma of fibrous origin (round cell, spindle cell sarcoma, myxosarcoma), 5 per cent rhabdomyosarcoma, 6 per cent lymphosarcoma, and 10 percent pleuriplastic or un-or de-differentiated sarcoma. A large tumor of the prostate, which is not hard and nodule occurs in a middle aged patient, should be considered of lymphosarcoma of the prostate. A case of lymphosarcoma of the prostate is added to the literature.

A study was made of 234 patients with carcinoma of the cervix seen during the period from Aug.-1959 to Dec.-1963, who had come to the Departments of Obstetric and Gynecology of Yonsei Medical Hospital. Intravenous pyelogram, cystoscopy, and urine examination were done and N. P, N. was checked in addition to clinical examination before treatment. Intravenous pyelogram were classified into 1. Non-functioning 2. Hydronephrosis 3. Hydroureter as abnormalities Also cystoscopic finding were classified into 1. Elevation of bladder wall 2. Bullous edema 3. Neoplasm invasion. There were 51 patients who showed abnormality of intravenous pyelogram among the 234 patients with carcinoma of cervix, that was a unilateral abnormality in 38 cases and bilateral in 13 cases. Again, among 24(10.26%) non-functioning kidney in this series the left kidney was affected in 11 cases and right kidney in 6 cases. The 125 of 234 patients showed elevation of bladder wall in cystoscopic finding, and the posterior wall of bladder was elevated similarly in all stages. The urological study of patients with carcinoma of cervix are most essential works in addition to clinical examination, and it should be considered as a systemic disease for all physician especially gynecologist, radiologist, and urologist.
