Sweets syndrome has 4 cardinal features, that is, fever, neutrophil polymorphonuclear leukocytosis of the blood, raised painful plaques on the limbs, face and neck, histologically a dense dermal infiltration with mature neutrophil polymorphs. Hematologic malignancies are associated with 10-15% of cases, but gastric adenocarcinoma associated case is very rare. A 57-year-old male patient admitted to Korea University affiliated hospital because of fever and painful erythematous plaques of both limbs. No response to antibiotics and antihistamines for 1 week, so we referred to dermatologic department for skin biopsy. After then under the impression of Sweet's syndrome, oral prednisolone 60 mg/day prescribed and skin lesions were progressively regressed. For the purpose of screening of associated disease, we did abdominal CT scan and panendoscopy with biopsy which revealed adenocarcinoma of stomach. We couldn't find out any other etiologic agents.

The author operated 34 cases of pterygia by Newton's method, wihich combined Mc Raynold's transplantation with limbal incision, in these 34 case, 4 cases were recurred, and in other 2 cases, a few vessels only found on the operated area of the cornea. Among these 6 cases, one had trachoma, 3 had chronic cat conjunctivitis. Auther thinks that the chronic inflammation such as trachoma or chronic conjunctivitis is very important factor in the recurrence of pterygia. This fact also encourages the author who believes that the inflammation is rather more important factor in the etiology of the pterygia than the degensration.

We are Presenting of two cases of Marfans syndrome. First acse; 22 year old boy, height 262 cm, weight 40.9 kg, typical skeleton, hands and feet. The span of the outstreched arm, from right finger to the other, is 165 cm, exceeds by 3 cm than the height. Abnormal flexibility of Joints in the both thums. Vision; O.D. 0.1 with-sph.7.0 D., O.S. 0.0 with-sph.6.0 D. Lens; typically dislocated, upward and inwad and inward iridodonesis is marked. The slit lamp examination of the zonular fiber is very attractive, In the left eye, dislocation is more severe than the other, and the zonular fiber are more elongated. The fibers are seen very clearly, Just like fine whitish silk contrast to its black background. At the 5 o'clock Position pupil margin in th left eye, one of them was revered and distorted. No significant fundus signs were seen. His parents and four brothers all have Normal visions and skeletons Normal cardiovascular system, even x-raypicture, balium in in esophagus, and normal E.C.G. picture. The second sase; 5 year old girl, Height 120 cm, weight 20.6 kg, typical skeletor, hands and feet. Vision both 0.2, 0.2 and 0.3 with -sph.9.0 D. Left eye; typical dislocated lens, upward and outward. iridodonesis is also found, no significant fundus picture. Normal cardiovascular system, even x-ray picture, balium in esophagus, and normal E.C.G. picture. Father; normal vision and skeleton. mother; typical skeleton, hands and feet, but normal vision, said her grandmother also had delicate bony structure and very poor vision, died known causes. The literature is briefly reviewed and the Post- operative complication esp. detachment of retina, emphasized.

The positive binding activity of lectin, peanut agglutinin (PNA), against the mucinous malignancies of the ovary was studied in order to clarify biologic differences among those lesions using immunoperoxidase method (ABC). A total of 23 cases were included in this study and they were classified as 10 cases of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, 9 mucinous tumors of borderline malignancy and 4 pseudomyxoma peritonei, histologically. Nine of 10 cystadenocarcinomas and all cases of pseuomyxoma peritonei showed more than moderate degree of positive binding activity (>2+) with PNA in the neoplastic epithelial cells. In the cases of borderline malignancy, only 3 of 9 revealed as much similar binding pattern with PNA as cystadenocarcinoma group, in contrast, minimal degree of positivity (1+) was noted in the remainder. These findings may suggest heterogeneity in the biochemical characteristics among the cases of borderline lesion. And it is proposed that the higher PNA binding cases in ovarian mucinous borderline malignancy require extensive sampling by multiple sections and further careful follow-up study.
