1.Bone Metastasis of Malignant Melanoma: A case report
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1978;13(4):721-725
The following case report concerns a rare bone metastasis of malignant melanoma occurring in the 4th and 5th lumbar spines and adjacent iliac crests and sacrum. A 42-year-old woman was admitted with a 6 months history of severe lumbago ar right flank pain radiating to right lower extremity. Preoperative X-ray studies revealed stag horn stone in the right renal pelvis as spondylolisthesis of the 5th lumbar spine with bilateral isthmic defects. On physical examinations, dark brown colored nevus was noted at lower lumbar regio which was removed and subjected for biopsy. Surgical exploration demonstrated a melanoma metastasis to have invaded the spine process, lamina and transverse processes of the 5th lumbar spine, adjacent L4 and sacru and iliac crests. Surrounding soft tissues, however, were apparently normal. Postoperatively course of the patient seemed to follow a rapidly terminal clinical cours.

Two cases of congenital multiple joint laxity are reported here. One was a 18-year-old boy, in whom the hypermobility of the joints was striking that 4 criterias (Carter & Wilkinson, 1964) could be observed. The other was a 18-year-old male who showed positive findings in three of the five diagnostic criterias. In both no familiar occurrence was noted.

We report a case of generalized plane xanthoma which showed no-rmolipoproteinemia and was not associated with unerlying disorders or other type of xanthomas. A 48-year-old female has noticed well defined, slightly elevated, yellowish plaques which occurred on the periorbital areas, sides of the neck, scapular areas, anterior chest, buttocks and lower extremities for 3 years. Biopsy specimen taken from the neck showed perivascular accumulations of foam cells in the upper and mid dermis. Paper electrophoresis didn't, show elevation of any lipoprotein.

5.Diabetic Neuroarthropathy: 2 cases report

The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1977;12(1):71-74
Neuroarthropathy has infrequently been associated with diabetic patients. The initial presenting symptoms are in most cases the peripheral neuropathy involving chiefly the sensory components of peripheral nerves, leading to numbness, hyper-or paresthesia, and coldness of the extremity affected. The diabetic arthropathy, once occurred, is apt to show progressive deterioration of the function with destruction of both skeletal and supporting soft tissues Two cases of such arthropathy were presented here, the one was observed in a 29-year-old man with involvement of the left fourth and fifth tarsometatarsal joints and a large ulcer on the dorsal skin of the lesion, and the other in a 35-year-old man with destruction of the right ankle joint. Both of them showed remarkable remission of the symptoms with conservative measures such as arch support, cast immobilization and skin graft.

Dermoid cysts develop from sequestration of epithelium along lines of embryonic fusion.The most common locations are the lateral third of the eyebrows, nose, and scalp. These cysts are located in the subcutis; they are often adherent to periosteum, and may invade or erode underlying bane. A 34-year-old female presented with a solitary, skin colored, dome-shaped, child fistsized, subcutaneous mass on her right occiput. At operation, keratinous material was discharged and tufts of hair projected from opening of the cyst wall.The base of the cyst was firmly adherent to periosteum and diffuse depression with focal deep erosions of the outer table of skull was found.

Adenomyotic cyst is very rare disease, their sizes are mostly lesser 5mm. The intrauterine adenomyotic cyst may arise from progressive expansion of cyst due to progressive menstrual bleeding. Authors experienced a case of large adenomyotic cyst within myometrium occuring in a l9-year-old woman, and who was accompanied with endometriosis. The cyst was about 3 x 3em sized, and had chocolate colored thick viscous contents, We experienced one case of adenomyotic cyst which was thought to be degenerated uterine myoma, so we report the case with a brief review of the concerned literatures.

We report herein a gigantic case of verrucous hemangioma occuring in a 15 year-old school- boy. The lesion was a dark red colored, 10.0 x 6.0 x 0.8cm sized, verrucous surfaced, hemangiomatous tumor affecting the posterior aspect of the right thigh. At birth an erythematous macule appeared and insidious]y increased or extended with age. In the last 6 months, it had grown rapidly to the size of the present lesion with a smaller satellite one, assumably ascribing to the repeated minor trauma or pressure. Histological findings from the totally excised lesion showed epidermal hyperplasia with irregular acanthosis and papillomatosis and diffuse marked proliferation and dilatation of blood vessels from the upper dermis to subcutaneous fatty tissue. Wide excision was done. There was no relapse after about one years postoperative follow up.

We reported herein a rare case of a 65-year-old female who lead intestinal tuberculosis of about 2 months duration, with little late development of metastatit berculosis abscess of the skin. The lesions were egg tow wolnut-sized abscesses or nodules occu in, on the back, right flank and lower abdomen with no pain or mild tenderness. Physical exami saion was unremarkable on dissemination of other sites. The tuberculin test was negative. The skin esions were diagnosed by clinical, histopathologic features, and positive results for Mycobactc iuntuberculosis in smear.; and cultures in the pus discharge: as well as polymerase chain reaction nethod on the nodular lesion. A barium enema showed the findings of intestinal tuberculosis, with positive culture in the stool. A combined treatment was intituted. During the initial 4 month, utaneous lesions did not respond and in some cases worsened with the multidrug of isoniazicr fampin, pyrazinamide and streptomycin, all of which were surgically excised. Thereafter, the drugs of isoniazid and rifampin were further administered for ahout 14 months, with the complete resecution of both lesions and the systemic symptomatolo. There was no relapse at follow-up after 6 months.
