Dyskeratosis congsnita is a rare congenital disorder characterized by the triad of reticular pigmentation of the skin. dystrophic naila, and leukoplakia of the mucous membrane, and is often associated with severe pancytopenia. A 9-year-old boy had reticular pigmentation of the skin, dystropbic changes of the finger and toe nails, white patches of the buccal mucosa, mild hyperkeratosia of the palms and soles, excesaive lacrimation, dysphagia and severe pancytopenia, Bone marrow showed hypoplastic anemia and decreased cell mediated immunity was noticed.

Two cases of inetastatic tumor of the skin were reported with literature review. One case, aged 67 years male, had a seven year history of multiple nolular lesions On the abdorninal wall. Histopathological findings were compatible with adenocarcinoma. Other case, aged 57 years male, who had a episode of subtotal gastrectomy, under dingnosis of stomach cancer four years ago, had a one and half year history of multiple nodular lesions on the face. Histopathological findings were compatible with fibrosis at first biopsy but confirmed with undifferential carcinoma after five months, These metastatic tumors of the skin were considered to be originated from the stomach in view of clinical and histopathological findings.

Letterer-Siwe disease is a non-lipid reticuloendotheliosis of unknown etiology and usually grouped with Hand-Schuller-Christian disease and eosinophilic granuloma as components of histiocytosis-X. It occurs mostly in infancy and, clinically it is the most generalliaed and serious. In recent years, the prognosis of infants with Letterer-Siwe disease has improved, primarily due to more aggressive therapy with corticosteroids and antimetabolic agents. The 14 months old male patient was admitted into the Severance Hospital on 15th, July 1974 for evaluation of a chronic and refractory skin eruptions, abdominal distension with diarrhea and edema on extremities. He had been well until 3 months old age when he developed seborrhea-like skin eruptions which did not improve on treatment for seborrhea. Vigorous treatment was started for the baby from the beginning of admission day. Routine laboratory tests, skin biopsy, bone marrow aspiration and radiologic studies for bony structures wer done. All those studies had showed severe anemia, thrombocytopenia, multiple bony defects in skull and numerous non-lipid histiocytic infiltration in skin and bone marrow all those were consist with Letterer-Siwe disease.

700 mentally handicapped child and children with learning disorders were investigated to find out the causes or clinical diagnosis at department of Pediatrics, Yousei Medical School. The abilities of individual child was evaluated for their further education and training. And following results were obtaine. 1. The clinical diagnosis or the cause was not able to make in 233 cases, 33.3%, out of 700. 2. The rest, 64.7%, represented various clinical diagnosis, the most common casuses were cerebral paly, microcephaly, 42.7%, 19.9% respectively. 3. Other various causes vere as follow. Mentally handicapped children related to epilepsy was 107%, children with chromosomal anomalies 4.7%, with CNS anomalies 2.1%, with vascular diseases 5.4%, endocrine disorder 2.6%, muscle disorder 3%, phagomatosis 2.7%, metabolic disorder 1%, encephalopathy and poisoning related disorder was 1% respectively. The CNS infection was 2.6%, syndromes with funny looking face without chromosomal anomalies 1.6%, Psychiatric disorder 0.7%. Developmental disorder was quite common causes of learning disorder which represented 22.2%. Among 700, children with mutism was 1.6% and blind child was 1.4%. 4. Their abilities was evaluated by Griffiths Developmental Scale and WISK testes for further education and training. 89.6% requires physiotherapy or occupational therapy, 95% required speech therapy. 5. Exact evaluation and assessment for mentally handicapped children should be based on well qualified specialistes of various fields working as a team with mutural understanding and exchanging their knowledges. Organization of assessment unit for mentally handicapped children as well as learning disorders is required for efficient assessment and training of staffes. 6. Participation of clinical psychologist and teachers during the process of assessment would great helpful not only to assessing but also teaching these children. We do know that speech therpist and occupational therapist is lack in number. And organization training project of these therapist should established soon as possible.

The present study evaluates the type, frequency and location of basal cell epithelioma, as well as the age and sex distribution of patients and the recurrence rate of basal cell epithelioma. In this study 116 patients, who visited Severance hospital during the last 15 years from Jan. 1, 1967 to Dec. 31, 1981 and were diagnosed histopathologically as having basal cell epithelioma, were analysed.

We compared 87 portographic filling defects detected by portal CT in 64 patients were compared with those obtained by indirect portography. The indirect portography could visualize portogram only in anterior-posterior view. But the portal portal CT could visualize both portogram and hepatogram. We examined the portal CT and indirect portography and compared the accuracy of the both methods to evaluate the limitation and significance of the indirect protography. The mass shape lesions were seen on the portal CT which means portal flow defects of the mass lesions only could not depict totally in indirect portography (0%, 0/41). And the larger defects than real mass lesion were seen in portal CT means mass with associated portal flow defect and find portal vein invasion around the mass in 52% (24/46) of the indirect portography. Among them, only 66% of mass were detected correctly in the indirect portography comparing with mass lesion in portal CT. In summary, indirect portogram could not detect small filling defects which detected in portal CT and could not depict the extent of large filling defects. It also could not visualize correctly the protal flow in non-lesion side of the liver parenchyma.
