Bowen's disease is an intraepidermal squarnous cell carcinoma referred to also as squamous cell carcimona in situ. Approximately two-thirds of Bowen's disease consist of solitary lesion while remaining show multiple lesions, We experienced a 68-year old male patient who had multiple erythematous pathes and plaques covered with scales and grayish crusts developing on the trunk and both lower extremities. At first, clinically we suspected psoriasis, seborrheic keratosis, eczema and mycosis fungoides, and finally histopathologic features revealed Bowen's disease showing transformation to invasive squamous cell carcinorna.

A 4-year-old boy have had widespread, multiple, dark brownish, verrucous ]papular plaques on the neck, left chest, right side of abdomen, back and penile skin since birth. Clinical features and light and electron microscopic findings were consistent with ichthyosis hystrix. The patient was successfully treated with systemic administration of etretinate and vitamin E.

Untill now, we have been using Chinese ink for corneal tattooing. The reason is that it was difficult to get Platinum Chloride and Hydrazine Hydrate. As we got the result by using Platinum Chloride and Hydrazine Hydrate, we are reporting as follows: 1. Platinurn Chloride tattming has stained in black at corneal opacity equally. 2. It stains at corneal stroma without any injury and good especialIy when corneal tissue is thin. 3. It fully stains by seperating corneal epithelium and there are no complication and side reaction. 4. The method is simple and aseptic operation is possible. 5. The pain disappears after 2 days from the stain and conjuntiva injection disappears after 4~5 days from the stain. 6. The condition of stain is perfect although it has passed 4 months from the stain.

There has been increased dialysis because of chronic renal failure, and also has been increased cataractous changes. We found 8 eyes(5 patients) who were under dialysis and also had cataractous changes. They received cataract operations. The results were obtained as follows: 1. Male to female ratio is 4:1 and the average age of cataract patients is 45 years old. 2. The cataractous changes after dialysis occurred within 1 year(except example 1). 3. We found that the cataracts developed from posterior subcapsule of lens(except example 1) and the corrected visual acuity at 2 months after surgery were over 0.5. 4. There were no serious problems after surgery(routine I.C.C.E.). 5. On blood chemistry, the average calcium level was 7.88mg% (hypocalcemic state), and we suggest that this condition may be related with cataractous changes.

In newoborn infants, we can find the retinal hemorrhage, hyphema, vitreous hemorrhage, cataract, iridodialysis, choroidal rupture, lens dislocation and the injuries to the conjunctiva and lid due to birth injury. We studied the frequency, influencing factors, shape and absorption period of retinal hemorrhages in newborn infants by the following method. The 152 newborn infants that were delivered at the obstetric department of S.C.H. college hospital from May 25th '80 to June 29th '80 are examined with direct ophthalmscope after instillation of 1% mydriacyl solution. Fundus eyamination was done within 24 hour after delivery, 3rd day, 2nd week, and 3rd week. 1) The retinal hemorrhage is seen in 19.1% of newborn infant. 2) Bilaterality is over 55%. 3) Frequency is higher in primipara than in multipara and higher in over 30 years old mother and vaccum deliveries. 4) The retinal hemorrhages are absorpted about 1/2 of cases within 3 days and almost within 3 weeks.

Conjunctival tuberculosis, a very rare disease, is thought to be a relatively rare cause of ocular diseases. This is because of a decreased incidence of tuberculosis as well as lessened emphasis on its diagnosis. We have experienced a 19-years old female who had a injection and hypertrophic granulomatous inflammation, on the left lower palpebral conjunctiva. We performed excisional biopsy under the clinical diagnosis of the chronic conjunctivitis and confirmed the histopathological diagnosis of conjunctival tuberculosis. So, the literature of the conjunctival tuberculosis was briefly reviewed with clinical history.
