Lichen planus is rare in Korea. and oral lichen planus is even rarer. To our knowledge, this is the first case reporting in Korean dermatological literature. 57 year-old man was seen for erythema with white striation on the oral mucosa in December 1981. The initial lisior s appeared on the buccal mucosa of left side of oral cavity 10 months ago. Thereafter he noticed similar lesions on the right side of buccal mucosa, hard palate, left side of upper and lower gingiva and left side of the lower lip. Histopathological and direct immunofluorescence studies showed typical features of lichen planus. Administration of griseofulvin(0.5gm. of Fulvicin' daily) for 4 weeks resulted in no clinical improvement. Oral retinoid(25mg of Ro 10-9359 daily) for 11 weeks resulte3 in healing of lesions with no side effect except slight dryness of the mouth.

A clinical review was done on 343 infants and children diagnosed and operated at the Department of Pediatric Surgery in Keimyung University, Dong San Medical Center for congenital gastrointestinal anomalies from January, 1988 to December, 1991. The results are summarized as follows; The most prevalent age group of congenital gastrointestinal anomaly was within first week after birth, and infants within 3months occupied 70% of total, and male to female ratio was 2:1. 2) The moat common lesion of congenital gastrointestinal anomalies was stomach with 87cases (25.4%), followed by anus with 80 cases (23.3%), colon with 63 cases (18.4%) and biliary tract with 38 cases(11.1%). 3) The most common congenital anomaly was congenital hypertophic pyloric stenosis with 87 cases (25.4%), followed by imperforate anus with 70 cases (20.4%), congenital megacolon with 63 cases (18.4%), and prevalent age was 2 week-3month, first week after birth, 1month-3year. 4) The incidence of common congenital gastrointestinal anomalies were mostly higher in male than in female but choledochal cyst was higher in female than in male. 5) Associated anomalies were observed in 14 cases (4%) of total cases, duodenal atresia was seen the highest rate of the associated anomalies and the most common associated anomaly was annular pancreas, followed by Down syndrome, congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

We observed the histopathological findings in 16 patients with nevus flammeus according to the time sequence after argon laser therapy. The results were as follows : 1. Immediately after treatment There was nonspecific damage to the epidermis, upper part of the dermis and upper portion of the pilosebaceous unit to a depth of 0.4~0.5mm depth. The specific damage to the vessels, which showed thrombi formation and partial disruption of the vessel walls was seen to a depth of 0.8~0.9mm. 2. One week after treatment Crust was formed and the epidermis regenerated almost completely. The thrombi still persisted and there was partial disappearance of the vessel walls. 3. Four to 10 months after treatment The epidermis appeared normal except the rete ridge flattening. The upper dermis was diffusely fibrotic, with relatively few residual vessels, many of them with slit-like contour.

This study was performed in order to evaluate the sero-epidemiological status of toxoplasmosis in pregnant Korean women. Among 5, 175 sera and 750 amniotic fluid samples obtained from pregnant women, 41 serum samples (0.79%) and 10 (1.33%) amniotic fluid samples tested positive for IgG antibodies by ELISA. Fifty one cases showing a score more than 0.25 on ELISA were tested for PCR reaction against the SAG1 gene. Only one case of the 51 ELISA positive cases exhibited a positive reaction on all tests. This case had a history of acute nephropyelitis during early pregnancy, but fortunately, had delivered a phenotypically healthy baby. In this study, the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in pregnant women was found to be comparatively low, consistent with previous reports from Korea. However our trials, performed with a variety of diagnostic tools, were considered to be useful for the precise diagnosis of congenital toxoplasmosis.

A 30-year old female had proximal muscle weakness, periungal telangiectasia and purplish red erythema and edema on the face. Diagnosis of dermatomyositis was estabiiished by clinical manifestations, muscle enzyme study, electromyogram, histologic findings of skin and muscle. She was treated with systemic steroid with some improvemellt. About 1 year after the onset of dermatomyositis, aggravated skin lesion and exophthalmos were noted on right eyelid. Orbit computerized tomography scan showed maxillary carcinoma. She treated with systemic steroid, 5-fluorouracil and cis-platin with partial remission and some improvement of dermatomyositis.

Immunohistochemial staining was performed in metastatic skin cancer using a variety of antistera. Both carcinoembrytonic antigen(CEA) and epithelial membrane antigen(EMA) were demonstrated in large cell carcinoma of the lung, adenocarcinoma of the stomach and skin adnexal cancer with eccrine differentiation. Although papillary carcinoma of the thyroid, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung showed positive staining for CEA and EMA, these were weak or focal reactions in the keratinizing area. In rectal adenocarcinoma, staining for CEA was significantly positive, but staining for EMA was negative. Epiderrnal cytokeratin was observed in squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and skin adnexal cancer with eccrine differentiation. Epidermal cytokeratin was also demonstrated in well differentiated adenocarcinoma of the gastrointestinal tract. By using a variety of tumor markers, the authors tried to locate possible primary sites in six metastatic skin cancers of unknown origin.

PURPOSE: The ictal perfusion patterns of cerebellum and basal ganglia have not been systematically investigated in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Their ictal perfusion patterns were analyzed in relation with temporal lobe and frontal lobe hyperperfusion during TLE seizures using SPECT subtraction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-three TLE patients had interictal and ictal SPECT, video-EEG monitoring, SPGR MRI, and SPECT subtraction with MRI co-registration. RESULTS: The vermian cerebellar hyperperfusion (CH) was observed in 26 patients (78.8%) and hemispheric CH in 25 (75.8%). Compared to the side of epileptogenic temporal lobe, there were seven ipsilateral hemispheric CH (28.0%), fifteen contralateral hemispheric CH (60.0%) and three bilateral hemispheric CH (12.0%). CH was more frequently observed in patients with additional frontal hyperperfusion (14/15, 93.3%) than in patients without frontal hyperperfusion (11/18, 61.1%). The basal ganglia hyperperfusion (BGH) was seen in 11 of the 15 patients with frontotemporal hyperperfusion (73.3%) and 11 of the 18 with temporal hyperperfusion only (61.1%). In 17 patients with unilateral BGH, contralateral CH to the BGH was observed in 14 (82.5%) and ipsilateral CH to BGH in 2 (11.8%) and bilateral CH in 1 (5.9%). CONCLUSION: The cerebellar hyperperfusion and basal ganglia hyperperfusion during seizures of TLE can be contralateral, ipsilateral or bilateral to the seizure focus. The presence of additional frontal or basal ganglia hyperperfusion was more frequently associated with contralateral hemispheric CH to their sides. However, temporal lobe hyperperfusion appears to be related with both ipsilateral and contralateral hemispheric CH.
