A case of difficult intubation is described in which the problem was overcome by use of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA). The patient had difficulty in mouth opening due to severe burn scar contracture around the mouth and limited access prevented tracheal intubation. The use of LMA is shown to have obviated the need for tracheal intubation in the case of a patient whose injuries would have made this technique difficult.

It is now well known that several human congenital syndromes are accompanied by chromosomal aberrations. Chromosomal aberrations can also be induced by several teratogenic agents in various species of animals when exposed to these agents at certain embryonic development (Installs et al.. 1963 ; Soukup et al., 1967 ; Joneja and Ungthavorn. 1968 ; Roux et al., 1970). A hereditary component in the etiology of urinary tract malformations has been reported in man and animals (Bagg. 1929 ; Deringer and Heston, 1956 ; Monie et al., 1957 ; Roux and Dupuis. 1961 ; Fujikura, 1969). The extent of hereditary influence. however, is difficult to in man, and even the major cause of congenital hydronephrosis is still unknown. The main purposes of this investigation is to determine whether trypan blue which induces congenital anomaly of urinary tract in rat embryos would also induce Chromosomal aberrations in the embryos and the mothers. Sprague-Dawley strain healthy female rats were examined for the spermatozoa in the vaginal smears everyday. Trypan blue solution 1.5% was injected subcutaneously with various doses at different developmental stages of rat embryos. For embryonic studies, the animals were killed on the 20th day of gestation. The total implantations, resorption rates and sex ratios were examined. Under the stereomicroscope. anomalies such as hydronephrosis, renal hypoplasia and agenesis, and anomaly of location. position and rotation of the kidney were examined through the micro-dissection method and confirmed histologically. For Chromosomal studies, the bone marrow cells of mothers and the liver cells of fetuses were examined cytogenetically by means of the culture method of Roux et al. (1970). From the data obtained, results were as follows; 1. Resorption of fetuses, growth retarding effects and chromosomal aberrations of fetuses were increased following the increased doses of trypan blue, but time of injection was more important in production of the malformations. 2. Following the increased doses of trypan blue and early injection, male fetuses were more produced. So it seemed that female fetuses were easily resorpted. 3. The timing of injection with trypan blue exerted greater influence upon the inducement of hydronephrosis than the doses of the chemical, but in cases of other malformations, vice versa. 4. In mothers chromosomal aberrations were related with the doses of the teratogen, but in fetuses, with the timing of injection. 5. So far as trypan blue is concerned, it is probable that there is a close relationship between chromosomal aberration and teratogenecity.

Having had an occasion to observe a case of extramammary Paget's disease affecting 69 year-old man, who has been suffered from well demarcated erythematous eczemstoid pruritic patch incolving penis, serotum, and suprapubic area since 3 years previously, we report.

A clinical observations were made on the patients with renal tumors who had been admitted and treated in the Department of Urology, Yonsei University Medical Center during the period from Jan. 1961 to Dec. 1975. The following results were obtained: 1. During the period, the genitourinary tract tumors were 12.07% per total in-patients and 63 cases of renal tumor which were 1.89% per total in-patients were admitted. 2. In 63 renal tumors, 5 kinds of primary renal malignancy were 76.36%, 5 kinds of benign tumor were 18.18% and 2 kinds of secondary malignancy were 5.45%. 3. Renal pelvic tumors were 27.3% total renal tumors and malignancy was 86.7% per all pelvic tumors. 4. Renal cell carcinoma was 59.53% and transitional cell carcinoma was 17.47% per all renal malignancies. 5. In benign renal tumors, solitary renal cysts were 40% and there were 2 cases of choriocarcinoma in secondary renal tumors.
