We report one case of hair follicle nevus, benign highly differentiating appendageal skin tumor of hair follicle. It arises from pluripotential cells that have formed during life. This patient is a 40-year-old woman who had a localized brownish plaque on the leht cheek for three years. Histologic study revealed many small but mostly mature hair follicles consistent with hair follicle nevus.A Case of Cutaneous Periarteritis Nodosa

Although we made a comparision of fingertip dermatoglyphic patterns between R7 patients with atopic dermatitis(Femals: 54, Male: 35) and 73 their families without atopic dermatitis, no significant results were obtained. So, we compared secondly our results of 2 groups with those of two thousand nonatopic, normal Koreans, as control. Results are as follows: ] In comparison with control, a significant increase in the ulnar loop pattern was detected in families(p<0, ()5), not atopic dermatitis. p. No significant differ ence between right hands and left hands in all three g f OUpS. In atopic dermatitis and control groups, 1 st and 4 th digits showed mostly whorl pattern, and 3 rd and 5 th digits had more ulnar loop pattern than others. Rut families had mostly ulnar loop pattern at all digits except 4 th digit, wl..orl pattern. 4. Each of atopic dermatitis, family and control group had 13, 79% (whor1: 8. 05% ulnar loop: 5 75%), 15. 49p; (whorl: 4. 23%, ulnar loop: 11. 27%), 15. 78%(whorl: 8, 52% ulnar loop: 7. 1 %, arch: 0. 05%), of same dermatoglyphic pattern on all ten digits. Especially, ulnar loop pattern in fanilies was detected significantly higher than other two groups(p<0. 05). Average incidences of bilateral symmetry of pattern type between right and left digits were 78.57%, 74. 67% and 78.74% respectively in atopic dermatitis, family and control group.

A 25-year-old female was seen because of rnultiple, asymptornatic papular eruptions on the vulvar area since 1 year ago. She had been suffered from palmar hyperhidrosis for 3 years. A skin biopsy specimen from the vulval lesion revealed characteristic findings of syringoma.

A 72 years old man had an 1 x 1cm sized, solitary glomus tumor on the right knee joint and had suffered from sharp, episodic pain and tenderness, radiating to the right thigh and the buttock for about 20 years. Simple surgical excision was performed for removal of the tumor mass and the subjective symtoms. There is no recurrence until now.

We compared 87 portographic filling defects detected by portal CT in 64 patients were compared with those obtained by indirect portography. The indirect portography could visualize portogram only in anterior-posterior view. But the portal portal CT could visualize both portogram and hepatogram. We examined the portal CT and indirect portography and compared the accuracy of the both methods to evaluate the limitation and significance of the indirect protography. The mass shape lesions were seen on the portal CT which means portal flow defects of the mass lesions only could not depict totally in indirect portography (0%, 0/41). And the larger defects than real mass lesion were seen in portal CT means mass with associated portal flow defect and find portal vein invasion around the mass in 52% (24/46) of the indirect portography. Among them, only 66% of mass were detected correctly in the indirect portography comparing with mass lesion in portal CT. In summary, indirect portogram could not detect small filling defects which detected in portal CT and could not depict the extent of large filling defects. It also could not visualize correctly the protal flow in non-lesion side of the liver parenchyma.

The 68 cervical cerclage operations of incompetent internal os of the cervix(IIOC) were performed at the Taegu Catholic Medical Center from Jan. 1, 1990 to Dec. 31, 1995. The results of this study were as follows: 1. The incidence of operation for IIOC was 0.23% of total delivery. 2. Highest number of IIOC was observed in the age group of 25 to 29, and the average number of pregnancy before operation was 4.1. 3. The significant contributory factor was previous history of the induced or spontaneous abortion. 4. In all cases, cerclage method was McDonald operation. 5. The average fetal salvage rate after operation was 82.5% and from the 14th week to 16th week of gestation(43 cases), the success rate of operation was 85%. 6. The causes of operation failure were premature labor in 6 cases(55%), premature rupture of membrane in 3 cases(27%) and abortion in 2 cases(18%) in order.
