Kasabach-Merritt syndrome is the association of thrombocytopenia, disorder of coagulation, spontaneous bleeding and enlargement of a hemangima or extensive hemangiomatosis, which can be often life threatening. We experienced a three years-old girl with suddenly enlarging hemangioma of right cheek, complicated by severe thrombocytopenia, consumptive coagulopathy and hemorrhagic cystitis. Generalized petechia and ecchymosis were noted on the overlying skin of hemangioma, trunk and extremities. But the study of MRI and angiography, hypevascular was located within the right masseter muscle extending to temporalis muscle and anterior to parotid gland. So selective embolization with PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) was performed through the distal branch of internal maxillary artery and facial artery. She was medicated with oral corticosterioid for 3 weeks. After embolizationn, blood flow to hemangioma and facial swelling were markedly decreased. Patient was followed up for 7 years and she showed normal contour of face and no bleeding diathesis.

BACKGROUND: Condylomata acuminata is a sexually transmitted cisease which is caused by the human papillomavirus(HPV). The types of HPV causing condylomata acuminata are HPV 6,11,16,18. HPV 16 and 18 are related to anogenital carcinoma. OBJECTIVE: The goals of this study were to determine the types cif HPV in condylomata acuminata, and to investigate the relationship between condylomata acuminata and anogenital carcinoma. MEHTODS: Polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment le igth polymorphisms were performed in the paraffin-embedded tissues of 17 cases of condylomata acciminata. RESULTS: HPV DNA was detected in all of 17 cases of condylomata accuminata tested. HPV 6 and 11 were found in 53% (9/17) and 41% (7/17) of the samples, respectiiely. HPV 16 and/or 18, which are related to anogenital carcinovia, were not detected, except in one case in which HPV 16 was found to be superimposed with HPV 6 and 11. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that most of condylomata acumirata are caused by HPV 16 and 11, and there is not so much risk of this disease transforming into the aiogenital carcinoma.

Pustulotic arthro-osteitis is a rheumatic syndrome of unknovn cause, characterised by an inflammatory osteitis of the sternocostoclavicular region and pustuosis palmaris et plantaris. Although many ases of the disease have been reported in Japan, it, has not been reported in Korea so far. Three cases of pustulosis palmaris et plantaris associated i rith sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis or pustulotic arthro-osteitis are presented.

Homozygous Protein C deficiency is a rare genetic disease with catastrophic and fatal purpura fulminans like or thrombotic complication occurring during the neonatal period. Purpura fulminans is characterized by microvascular thrombosis in the dermis followed by perivascular hemorrhage, necrosis, and minimal inflammation. Laboratory findings are consistent with disseminated intravascular coagulopathy: We report a case of purpura fulminans in a neonate with the findings of disseminated intravascular coagulopathy and an undetectable level of protein C activity, whose parents proved to be heterozygous protein C deficiency.

Ectopic pancreas is commonly located at stomach, duodenum and jejunum. It is a relatively rare entity and is usually of no clinical importance which especially is a very rare source of massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding. We have recently experienced a case of an ectopic pancreas in the second portion of the duodenum which was proven to be a source of massive gastrointestinal bleeding by duodenoscopy and was confirmed by surgical exploration.

Lipoma arborescens is a rare intra articular lesion consisting of a villous lipomatous proliferation of the synovial lining and occurs mainly in the knee joint. It is mostly found in older patients with joint trauma, meniscal lesions or chronic synovitis. The authors describe one case of a 29-year-old male with multiple lipomas in the right knee joint who has a history of joint trauma. He had joint effusion, pain, giving way and restricted terminal extension of the right knee. Histology and gross findings are consistent with the lipoma arborescens. After arthroscopic excision of the masses, symptom was relieved completely and the patient had gained full range of motion of the right knee joint.
