The clinical and mycological study was made with 38 cases of dermatophytoses in infants and preschoolers in dermatologic clinic of St. Pauls Hospital, Catholic Medical College, from September, 1982 to April, 1984. Following results are obtained: The incidence of dermatophytoses under the age 6 was 2. 2% among 1, 711 out- patients of the sarne age group. 2. The incidence of involving sites was the highest in tinea(T.) corporis(37. 2%) and T. faciale(37, 2%) and then T. capitis(18. 7g). In 0-under 2 groups, the highest incidence in T. corporis(54. 5%) and then T. faciale(3l. 8%.). In 4-under 5 group, the highest incidence in T. capitis(55. 6%). 3 Fungi cultured from their skin lesions were 36 strains belonging to 6 species. These were M. canis(55. 6%), T. rabrum(27. 8%), granular type of T.mentagrophyte(8.3%) and interdigital type of T. mentagrophyte(27. 8%), M gypseum (2.8%). and E. floccosum(2.8%) in order. 4. Arnong 1Q strains of T. rabrum, anthropophilic fungi, 8 strains(80. 0%) were frorn 0-under 2 age groups, E. floccosum, and interdigital type of T. mentagrophyte were also from 0-under 1 age group. Among ZO strains of M, canis, zoophilic fungi, 13 strains(65. 0%) were from the age groups of 2-under 5. Granular type of T. mentagrophytc, 2 among 3 strains were from 4-under 5 age group, 5. The incidence of causative fungi in each sites were as follows: In T. corporis, T. rubrum(50. O%), and M canis(18. 8%) in order. In T. faciale, M. canis(62. 5%), T. rabrum(12. 5%), T. mentagrophyte(12. 5%), and M. gypseum(6. 3%) in order. In T. capitis, all cultured fungi were M. canis

A histopathologic study including iramunohistochemical stains was made in 30 patients who were presented with gastrointestinal lymphoma. The occurrence was 13 in the stomach, 8 in the ileocecum, 7 in the small intestine and 2 in the colon. The disease more frequently affected males than females and the average ages were 53 years in the patients of gastric lymphoma and 44 years in the patients of intestinal lymphoma. Gastric lymphomas were usually presented with a single lesion, and the antrum and/or body were the most common sites. But intestinal lymphomas were presented with a single or multiple lesion, and the ileocecum was the most common site. The most common gross type of gastrointestinal lymphomas was the ulceroinfiltrating type and most are of the diffuse large noncleaved cell type of B-cell lymphoma, histologically. There were 2 cases of T-cell lymphoma presented in the intestine as the superficially ulcerative gross pattern and diffuse immunoblastic cell type. The distinct MALToma was seen in only one case of stomach but the feature was partially remained in each two cases of stomach and intestine. Their coexistent findings may suggest that diffuse large of immunoblastic component arises through blastic transformation of the low-grade M ALToma component.

Hair follicle nevus is one of several nevi, in which hair and hair follicle are involved. Crowding of numerous tiny but mature hair follicles with thick fibrous root sheath are the characteristie histologic finding of the nevus. The patient was one month old male infant with pedunculated. mass l cm in size on the left preauricular area. Histologically the skin of the lesion is covered by acanthotic epidermis. In the corium are numerous small mature hair follicles with thick fibrous sheath and a few small Iobules of sebaceous gland embedded in a fibrovascular stroma. There are, however, no central plate of cartilage and adipose tissue.

A 19-year-old man noticed a very slowly spreading erythematous macular lesion on his cheek when he was 5 years old. This asymptomatic and well circumscribed patch was covered with fine scales. He sought first medical attention at the age of 12 years and diagnosis was cutaneous tuberculosis was made by skin biopsy. Seven years after the second biopsy was made and it revealed a few spores within giant cells in the upper dermis. By mycologic study, it was identified as Paecilomyces lilacinus. The patient was put on the treatment of topical and oral antifungal agents. The skin lesion showed signs of improvement after 12 weeks of treatment.

Four cases of incontinentia pigmenti (Bloch-Sulzberger type) in a mother and three her daughter were presented and literatures were reviewed. In all three daughters vesicles appeared on toes at three weeks after birth and ehanged to pigmented patches surrounded by erythematous verrucous margin, which were then gradually spread to whole body. Pigmentation is dirty, irregular and bizarr. Severe itching sensation was complained and vesicles or bulla were formed easily due to scratching and external trauma. In mother, onset of the disease was not clear but generalized dirty pigmentation is showed. Dentition was delayed in 3rd daughter (Dental eruption was begun at 10 month old and 11 teeth was showed at now, 2 year old). Histopathological findings are compatible with incontinentia pigmenti and epidermo-dermaI separation is observed in a experimentally induced bullae, indicating a characterized epidermolysis bullosa. Strict limitation in the occurence of disease in females of one family, accompanying with epidermolysis bullosa simplex is unusual and interesting in genetical aspects and pathogenesis.

Bcl-2 oncoprotein is being localized to mitochondria and interfering with programmed cell death (apoptosis) independent of promoting cell division in the lymphoid and nonlymphoid cells. The bcl-2 oncoprotein expression has been reported in follicular lymphomas as well as in diffuse non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, leukemia and a variable propotion of Hodgkin's lymphoma cases. Recent evidence suggests that some lymphomas protected from apoptosis is conferred through expression of Epstein-Barr virus(EBV) latent membrane protein which turn to cause upregulation of bcl-2. To define the role of the bcl-2 oncoprotein and EBV in lymphoid malignancy, we tried immunohistochemical studies with anti-bcl-2 antibody and In situ hybridization (ISH) with EBV-encoded small nuclear RNAs(EBER) in the paraffin embedded sections of 46 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) cases and 20 Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) cases. Bcl-2 oncoprotein expression was found in 37 of 46 cases (80%) of NHL with relatively strong cytoplasmic staining, and in 14 of 20 cases (70%) of HL with weak cytoplasmic staining in limited small numbers of RS, Hodgkin and lacunar cells. The widespread presence of bcl-2 oncogene in many different types of both NHL and HL supports that the extended cell survival through overexpression of bcl-2 gene protein may be a growth advantage of neoplastic lymphoid cells. In the ISH analysis for EBV, the presence of EBV was detected in 17 of 20 cases (85%) of HL, compared to 6 of 44 cases(13.6%) of NHL. It appears to be no direct correlation between overexpression of bcl-2 oncoprotein by neoplastic lymphoid cells and the presence of EBV in NHL but it seems to be a definite association between EBV and HL.
