Gastric glomus tumor is an uncommon benign, submucosal neoplasm and does not require radical surgical procedure. Because there are no specific clinical or radiologic features associated with the glomus tumor, it can be recognized only by its histologic characteristics. We report a 30-year-old woman who had 10 years history of epigastric hunger pain. Radiologically, a gastric submucosal tumor was discovered, which was suggestive of leiomyoma. Gastric antrectomy was performed. The tumor cells showed immunohistochemical and ultrastructural evidence of smooth muscle differentiation.

Primary subacute pyogenic osteomyelitis is defined as a bone infection of insidious onset lasting for more than several weeks without any acute systemic toxic reactions and is known to have the problem of diagnosis because there is no inflammatory symptoms or signs and X-ray findings are similar to various bone tumors. Authors reviewed 29 cases of primary subacute pyogenic osteomyelitis of long bones admitted at Fatima hospital during the years between 1976 and 1984. The osteomyelitis of infants and the osteomyelitis modified by antibiotics were excluded. The diagnosis of the cases was confirmed by bacteriological examination and/or tissue examination. The results were as follows. 1. The cases were 18 males and 11 females and 19 adults and 10 children. Male predominence was noted in children. 2. The involved bones were 11 tibias, 10 femurs and all other long bones. The involved sites were 18 metaphysis and 11 shafts. 3. All of the cases has insidious onset of local pain without any acute systemic symptoms and most of the cases has local tenderness but local deep swelling noted in about half of the cases. 4. There were many cases with elevated ESR and a few cases of slight leukocytosis. 5. The confirmed infecting organism was all staphylococcus in 16 cases of the cultures from the 25 lesions. 6. The X-ray findings were Brodies abscess in 10, illdefined cavity in 3, diffuse bones absorption in 5, diaphyseal lesion of adult with localized cortical sclerosis in 5 and with localized medullary abscess in 3 and diaphyseal lesion of children with localized medullary abscess and periosteal reaction in 3 cases. 7. All of the cases cured rapidly with rare recurrence after treatment by simple local excision in 4 and curettage in 22 cases combined with antibiotic therapy and local immobilization.

Purpose: We report a lenticular cyst in an 8-year-old boy.Case summary: An 8-year-old boy visited our clinic with reduced visual acuity. On slit lamp examination, an immobile lenticular cyst was evident on the posterior lens capsule of the left eye. There was no other abnormality. He had no history of ocular trauma or surgery. His Snellen best-corrected visual acuities (BCVAs) were 1.0 (-0.50 Dsph 0.50 Dcyl ×180°) in the right eye and 0.3 (+3.25 Dsph 1.00 Dcyl ×180°) in the left. After diagnosis of a primary lenticular cyst and anisometropic amblyopia, the child was prescribed glasses and occlusion therapy (8 hours daily). After 3 months, the BCVA improved to 0.9 in the left eye and was maintained. No change in lenticular cyst size was observed during 8 months of follow-up. Conclusions Primary lenticular cysts are very rare in children. When the cyst is too small to occlude the visual axis, amblyopia treatment (glasses and occlusion therapy) is preferable to surgery, being both non-invasive and effective.

Terbinafine is now widely used for the treatment of dermatophytic infections of the skin and nails. Cutaneous side effects of terbinafine are rare and mild. They includes erythema, pruritus, urticaria, desqumation, and macular exanthem. In addition, fixed drug eruption, erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and erythema annulare centrifugum-like psoriatic drug eruption were recently described in the literatures. Herein, we reported a case of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis induced by terbinafine.

Blue nevus is a benign melanocytic neoplasm and represents itself usually as a solitary blue or blue-black papule. It rarely occurs as multiple lesions grouped in a circumscribed area. How-ever, non-grouped disseminated blue nevi are exceedingly rare. We report a patient with acquired multiple blue nevi that was distributed over the entire body discretely and showed an increase in the number of the nevi without any causal factors.
