Befunolol hydrochloride is a B-adrenergic receptor antagonist cornnory used topically in treatment of glaucoma because of a satisfactory intraocular pressure lowering apcity without relevant topical or systemic side effects. We repart herein a case of allergic contact dermatit.is due to befunc ol nydrochloride in 0.5% Bentos eyedrops, A 52-year-old Korean woman had suffered from erythemanedema with itching sensation on her left eye since Novembeir 18, 1992. She had used various ophtalrnic preparations including Bentos eyedrops containing befinolol hydrochloride 0,5% as its activ cinstituent since October, 1992 for treatment of glaucoma of her left eye. Patch test with the European standard series, rubber series, the patiants eyedrops and their individual constituents showed positive. reactions only to 0.5% Bentos eyedrops(as is) and to befunolol hydrochloride. We noted rapid improvement of skin lesions and syipsms after the withdrawal of Bentos eyedrops and applicatior of another B-blocker(carteolol hydrocilcide).

BACKGROUND: Persistent facial elangiectssia, erythema, and flushing are the major cosmetic problems in patients with rosacea, However various therapeutic modalities for roacea papules and pustules, including topical antibiotics, systemic antibiotics, isotretinoin, and systernic and topical metronidazole, are not effective in reducing telangiectasia and flushing reactions present inrosacea patients. The flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser has been deacribed as a succqssful treatment for port wine stains with telangiectasia as part of their abnomalities. A clinical study was therefore undertaken in a group of rosacea patients, who recieves this laser to areas of facial taieous lesions. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of the flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser(SPTL-1) for osacea, especially telangiectasia and flusing reactions. METHODS: Forty-eight. patient with rosacea were studied to evaluatic the therapeutic effects of the SPTL-1 flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser (Candela corp.Wayland Mass.) at the Department of Dermatology in Dong-A University Hospital for 20 months from Januarg 1991 to August 1992. RESULTS: 1. Total therapeutic effects of this SPTL-1 laser showed excellent re:ults in 22.9%, good in 62.5%, fair in 8.3%, and poor in 6.3%. 2. Therapeutic effects of rosacea-associated lesions showed exeellerit or good results in 85.4% of patient,s with erythema and telangiectasia, 84% patients with papules, 100% patients with pustules, and 93.7% of patients with facial flushing. 3. Complications included trarsient hyperpigmentation (14.6%), section lary bacterial infection(6.3%), hypopigmentation(2.1%), and atropic scar(2.1%). 4. The recurrence rat.e was 2,9,%. CONCLUSION: The flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser (SPTL-1) is a dry effective mode of treatment for rosacea, including persistent telangiectasia and facial flushing ri.actions which were intractable to previous other therapeutic modalities.

Chronic actinic dermatitis was recently proposed to be a syndrome of chronic photosen-sitivity that incudes photosensitive eczema, persitent light reection, photosensitivity dermatitis and actinic reticuloid. We report herein a case of chronic actinic dermatitis which occured in a 60-year-old man. He suffered from a chronic eczematous dermatitis affecting e posed skin and some covered area with a feature of erythroderma. Phototesting showed abnormal photosensitivity to both UVB and UVA as will as to visible light. Skin biopsy specimes revealed histologic findings of spongiotic dermatitis in which dermal infiltrates were mainy consisted of T lymphocytes with suppressor T cells dominance on immunohistochemistry.

Steatocystoma multiplex is a relatively rare condition characterized by multiple, small, yellowish, cystic nodules 2 to 4mm in diameter locatcd princioally on the upper arms and the thighs. This has a high familial tendency and probably has an autosomal dominant mode of transmission. These tumors of steatocystoma multiplex characteristically contain hair follicles and sebaceous glands, and are to be the dermoid cyst. There was a familial and congenital inferiority in the ectoderm in both patient and family, ie, ichthyosis, hypohidrosis, koilonychia, milia and comedones. A 26 year-old Korean soldier was seen in February of 1970. His condition started 10 years previously. The widespread cystic nodules were 0. 2 to 1 cm in size and yellowish in color, and located on chest, back, scrotum and behind both ear lobes. There was thickening and daky brownish discolorations of all finger and toe nails. His father and two brothers had similar disorders, HistoIogieally clusters of hairs, mainly of lanugo size but some of intermediate character, were found in the lumen.

Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome is inherited as an autcsonal dominant trait with a high degree of penetrane and variable expressivity. The mair features are basal cell carcinoma. jaw cysts, skeletal anornalies, ectopic calcifications and palmoplantar pits. We report varous clinical ma.nifestations in brother and sister, wnich are jaw cyst,, bifid rib, shortened fourth metacarpals, ectopie calcification, palrnoplanar pits and basal cell carcinoma, Microscopically, histologic patterns of basal cell cacinomas are superficial, nodulocystic, keratotic, pigmented, adenoid and follicullar nevoid. Lange numbers of basal cell carcinomas were electrodessicated and curetted under general,nesthesia.

PURPOSE: As patients who take immediate breast reconstructions with TRAM flap have increased, concomitant or delayed other elective intra-abdominal operations in these patients also have increased. There are few reports of concomitant or delayed intra-abdominal operation in TRAM flap patients. We report our experiences and outcomes of these operations which is safe and feasible. METHODS: We reviewed the charts and postoperative follow-up results of 11 patients among 471 consecutive patients who took immediate breast reconstruction with TRAM flap from December of 2002 to September of 2006. Four patients took concomitant intra-abdominal operation and 7 patients took delayed intra-abdominal operation between 1 to 52 months after TRAM flap RESULTS: There were no significant postoperative abdominal and systemic complications. One patient who took concomitant intra-abdominal operation presented partial skin necrosis of abdomen, but recovered completely with conservative treatments. Two patients took transfusion in peri-operative periods. CONCLUSION: Concomitant or delayed intra-abdominal operation in immediate breast reconstruction with TRAM flap could be performed safely and feasibly when it is necessary. Furthermore, it could be helpful to patients and surgeons.
