A 13-year-old male presented a single, elevated, oval, walnut sized, soft mass on the left retroauricular ares which has increased in size since birth, Histopathologic examination revealed a cyst in the subcutaneus area. Cyst wall is lined by normal epiderrnis and cyst cavity contains hairs and keratinous materials.

We report a case of papillary eccrine adenoma occurring in a 39-year-old male who had a walnut sized, firm nodule on the right knee without subjective symptoms. Histopathologic exammination revealed a well circumscribed, non-capsulated dermal nodule consisting of multiple ducts with various sizes. These ducts were composed of double layered epithelial cells in most areas, but in some areas severe intraluminal papillation snd pseudostratification into the lumen were seen and the lumina were filled with a homogenous eosinophilic substance and partially with calcium deposition. Immunohistochemical studies with S-100 antigen and csrcinoembryonic sntigen (CEA) were also performed. Positivity for these sntigens strongly supports the hypothesis that this unusual neoplasm differentiates toward the eccrine secretory coil.

A clinically rare case of recurrent meningioma of the orbit of 30 years old male is reported. The right eye invaded with fibroblastic meningioma was enucleated in association of resection of tumor mass ten years ago. The second surgery of socket reconstruction for the palpebral and conjunctival atrophy was performed eight years later. An experience of orbital exenteration to a complete removal of walnut sized firm and palpable mass recurred in the orbital socket with successful result after the histo-pathological examination was described.

The idiopathic calcinosis of the scrotum (Shapiro, 1970) is usually multiple, asymtomatic nodules of the scrotal skin which begins m childhood or early adult life, increase in the size and numbers, and sometimes breakdown to discharge chalky contents. Clinically they are most often misdiagnosed as cysts. The forty eight years old male patient visited our hospital on Oct. 14, 1980, because of multiple asymtomatic scrotal masses which are pin head to walnut sized. There is no family history of calcification, scrotal or otherwise. Histology shows naked amorphous masses in the dermis without any evidence of residual cysts, and is acicular clefts in the masses. Most of the tumors were surgically removed in 5 sessions.

This study investigated the clinical effectiveness and safety of sealed bleaching compared to conventional in-office bleaching using a randomized clinical trial of split arch design. Ten participants received a chairside bleaching treatment on the upper anterior teeth, and each side was randomly designated as sealed or control side. A mixture of Brite powder (PacDent, Walnut, USA), 3% hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide (KoolWhite, PacDent, Walnut, USA) were used as bleaching agent. The control side was unwrapped and the experimental side was covered with a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) wrap for sealed bleaching. The bleaching gel was light activated for 1 hour. The tooth shades were evaluated before treatment, after treatment, and at one week check up by means of a visual shade (VS) assessment using a value oriented shade guide and a computer assisted shade assessment using a spectrophotometer (SP). The data were analyzed by paired t-test. In the control and sealed groups, the visual shade scores after bleaching treatment and at check up showed statistically significant difference from the preoperative shade scores (p < .05). The shade scores of the sealed group were significantly lighter than the control immediately after bleaching and at the check-up appointment (p < 0.05). Compared to prebleaching status, the DeltaE values at post-bleaching condition were 4.35 +/- 1.38 and 5.08 +/- 1.34 for the control and sealed groups, respectively. The DeltaE values at check up were 3.73 +/- 1.95 and 4.38 +/- 2.08 for the control and sealed groups. DeltaE values were greater for the sealed group both after bleaching (p < .05) and at check up (p < .05). In conclusion, both DeltaE and shade score changes were greater for the sealed bleaching group than the conventional bleaching group, effectively demonstrating the improvement of effectiveness through sealing.

A case of adenocarcinoma in the bladder is presented in a 24 years old man with complained of intermittent total gross hematuria. Preoperative diagnosis was established by cystoscopy, which showed a walnut sized circular pedunculated mass posterior to the air bubble on the bladder dome. A urachal sinus was absent. Partial cystectomy was performed. Biopsy showed adenocarcinoma with well differentiated glandular epithelium.

Microsporurn canis was fjrst reportaR m Korea in 1957, but no animal contacts were reported and since then, only sporadic occurrences of M. canis have reported. However, cat and human infections from M. canis have gradually become rnore prevalent lately. Recently author reported 3 cases of T. capitis, 2 cases of Kerion Celsi, 13 cascs of T. e,orporis in human and 4 cases of infected kittens, with M. canis isolated as the causative organisrn. Clinical and mycological observations of both patients and kittens were reported as follows: The infections with M. canis were exclusively reported in kittens, not in adult cats. Two of the infected kittens showed obvious signs of undernourishment, physical retardation and prostration. Infectivity among cats or kittens was very low while cat to human infectivity was very high. The human T. capitis exhibited. round, erythematous lesions with complete 1oss of hair, very similar to lesions of alopecia areata, These lesions were uniformly smaller than a walnut in size. The T. corporis exhibited typical, moderately inflamed ringshaped, singular or multiple lesions. The incubation period was estirnated at approximately 3-7 days. In humans, ectothrix growth was reported while the opposite endothrix growth was observed in the kitten and rabbit. Experimental animal inoculations were performed: Rabbit inocuIated with M. can- is resulted in typical ringshaped Iesions appearing 10 days after inoculation. T4ese lesians were cornpletely gone in 4 weeks but infected hairs still remained. Guinea pig inoculation resultel in non-typical lesions covered with serosanguinous crusts, but rat inoculztion showed no signs of infectivity.

A case of a 21-year old female with Maffucci's syndrome is presented where the patient developed multiple cutaneous spindle-cell hemangioendotheliomas. She had multiple pea to walnut sized, non-tender, normal skin colored or slight bluish nodules and bony mass-like lesions on the left upper extremity and hand. A histological examination of the lesions showed that they were composed of irregularly dilated, thin walled cavernous blood spaces containing phleboliths and collapsed vascular spaces separated by spindled fibroblastic cells. Radiologically, the bony lesions showed radiolucent densities with calcified spots within the second proximal phalanx and metacarpal bone of the left hand, which were consistent with enchondromas.

We presented a case of cerebral cysticercosis which involved the right frontal subcortical region. Five years old girl was admitted to the hospital because of repeated vomitings and severe headaches which developed and progressed gradually following head injury 15 days prior to admission. On admission, there were no localizing or lateralizing neurological abnormalities except for bilateral optic papilledemas and signs of increased intracranial pressure. Right carotid angiogram disclosed an avascular zone in the right frontoparietal region suggesting an intracranial space occupying lesion. At operation, rather well circumscribed mass, walnut sized, was found deeply in the right frontal subcortical area but no hematomas epidurally or subdurally. The mass was totally excised. Histological diagnosis of the specimen was cysticercosis to be granulomatous mass in big size. It would be controversial whether cerebral cysticercosis should be operated surgically or not, but surgery may be indicated if there are signs of increased intracranial pressure in the presence of single large granulomatous mass in the portion of the cerebral hemisphere.
