PURPOSE: Our objective was to identify a coronary ligament of the knee joint on MR images. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 50 MR knee studies. Using MR imaging, the thickness and length of the anteroinferior portion of the capsule were measured and compared at the medial and lateral compartments. We also carefully dissected 5 fixed cadaveric knees and took photographs. RESULTS: The thickened synovial membrane(coronary ligament) of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus appeared as a band of low signal intensity on MR images. On anatomic dissection of the knee joints, the inferior synovial attachment of the lateral meniscus was more redundant than the medial side. CONCLUSION: Anatomic correlation revealed that the coronary ligament contributed to the band-like structure at the anteroinferior aspect of the lateral meniscus.

We present two cases of linear lichen simplex chronicus. One is a 44-year-old male patient who had a linear licbenified patch on the left upper extremity, and the other is a 45-year-old female patient who had linear pruriginous nodules on the right lower extremity. The one is coincidental with localized lichen simplex chronicus, the other is coincidental with prurigo nodularis histopathologically.

Human sparganosis is not uncommon and over 60 cases are reported in Korea but the case infested with multiple spargana is rare. The case we are reporting here is a 33 year-old Korean male having had an abscess and several bean-sized nodules on the left thigh. The patient had the history of eating frogs as a tonic food 3 years ago. Five spargana were removed from the lesions by surgical excision. Two of them were alive and other three were degenerated or calcified.

Herpes simplex esophagitis has been recognized with increased frequency as an opportunistic infection in immunosuppressed or debilitated patients. However, it is also documented as self-limited esophagitis in apparently healthy patients. We report two cases of herpetic esophagitis diagnosed by biopsies. One case was noted in an immunocompetent patient having gastric peptic ulcer who had clinical improvement with symptomatic treatment. And the other was noted in an immunosuppressed patient having chemotherapy for gastric carcinoma who had resolution of symptoms with acyclovir therapy. Histologically, esophageal mucosa exhibited erosion and inflammatory cellular exudate with intranuclear eosinophilic inclusions in the epithelial cells. These were confirmed by the PCR and immunohistochemical stain for herpes simplex virus using a biopsy material.
