Nevus comedonicus is a rare skin abnormality characterized by a unilateral and usually linear distribution of groups of comedones, Histologically, local epidermal invagination and keratin material plugging in invaginated pouch and immatured hair follicles on lower part of the pouch were seen. Two cases are reported at first in the Korean literature. Case 1: A 24 year old man has had black colored comedolike skin lesions on left cheek with 16 years duration without any subjective symptoms. Case 2: A 19 year old girl has had multiple comedolike lesions on right buttock with 2 years duration, acompanied by recurrent suppuration and moderate itching. Our 2 cases, all are typical Nevus Comedonicus Unilateralis case in clinically and histopathologically. Treatment with local application of steroid cream and dermoabrasion resulted good effect, but essentially there is no need to treat untill complication deveoped.

A 53-year-old man had skin-colored linear serpiginous plaque within brownish patch on his left thigh for one year. He habitually drank natural spring water for 3 years. We diagnosed this case as sparganosis infiltrated within dermis by histologic and parasitologic diagnosis. The skin lesion mimicked the cutaneous larva migrans by showing dermal migration of sparganum to pro-duce itchy linear serpiginous plaque. We report an interesting case of sparganosis mimicking cutaneous larva migrans.

Primary malignant melanornn of the vagina is rare, with only about 130 reported cases worldwide. They presumably arise from melanocytes that are present in the vagina in 3% of normal wornen. Vaginal melanoma accounts for less than 1% of melanomas and less than 3% of primary malignant tumors of the vagina. Most of patients complain vaginal bleeding, vaginal discharge, foreign body sensation in order. The best treatment of vaginal melanoma rernains eni.gmatic, Many authors indicate that radical surgery may be the pcferred approach and the number of reported cases treated with radical surgery is increasing. But other author comment that no significant change in survival is apparent with radical surgery. Overall prognosis is poor as most patients have deeply penetrating lesions at the time of diagnosis. Recently, not only the effort to increase the survival rate but the quality of life including sexual function after treatment is becoming an important issue about treatment ot cancer patients. We experienced a case of primary malignant melanoma of the vagina treated with radical surgery and restored the sexual function by vulvovaginal reconstruction using gracilis myocutaneous flap. So we report this case with brief literature review.

During a 12-month period high-resolution, real-time ultrasonography (US) with graded compression was performed on 268 consecutive patients with clinically suspected acute appendicitis and its complication. US visualization of a fluid-filled, non-compressed appendix or a decompressed, thick-walled appendix was the primary criterion for a diagnosis of acute appendicitis. The sonographic findings were correlated with surgical-pathologic outcome in 92 cases and with the findings of clinical follow-up in the remainder. US was found to be accurate in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis and its complication with a sensitivity of 93.3%, a specificity of 98.9%, and an accuracy of 97%. The predictive value of a positive test was 97.7%; that of a negative test was 96.7%. There were two false-positive examination in patients with a thick-walled appendix or periapperdiceal abscess, which were surgically confirmed as appendiceal adenocarcinoma and perforated cecal diverticulitis respectively. There were six false-negative examination in patients with a sonographically no-visible appendix, which were confirmed surgically as acute appendicitis(n=5) and perforated appendicitis(n=1). Our results show that high-resolution, real-time US is an accureate imaging modality in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis and the evaluation of its complication.

A clinicostatistical study was made in 405 cases who were admitted to department of pediatrics, general surgery, urology, gynocology of N.M.C. for abdominal surgery from 1973 to 1978 and following results were obtained. 1. Distribution and incidece of surgical abdomen diseases showed acute appendicitis 107 cases(26.4%), inguinal hernia 82 cases(20.2%), intussusception 73 casese(18.0%) and intestinal obstructuction due to congenital origin 47 cases(11.6%). 2. Male was more predominant than female in proportion of 2.32:1. Age distribution revealed highest frequency in 10-15 years with 125 cases(30.8%) followed by 1 month to 1 year with 105 cases(25.9%). 3. In 47 casess of intestinal obstruction due to congenital origin, 3 common diseases were imperforated anus 14 cases, congenital megacolon 12 cases and congenitalpyloric stenosis 12 cases. 4. In 19 cases of acquired intestinal obstruction except intussusception and inguinal hernia, the most common cause was adhesion 10 sease(52.6%). 5. In 30 cases of abdominal mass, wilm's tumor was the commonest with 8 cases(26.7%). 6. In 19 cases of intestinal bleeding and perforation, accidental injury was the commonest cause with 12 cases(63.2%). 7. Highest incidence of diseases in relation to age group were as follows: newborn infant: intestinal obstruction due to congenital origin(96.7%), 1 month-1 year: intussusception (55.7%), 1-2year and 2-6year; inguinal hernia(46.3% and 50.0%), 6-10years and 10-15years; acute appendicitis(52.1% and 61.2%). 8. Overall mortality rate was 6.2%(25 out of 405 cases) and the highest mortality rate was noted in congenital anomaly with 23.1%(12 out of 52 cases).

The antihypertensive effect of Indapamide(Fludex(R)) was studied in 31 patients of essential hypertension and following results were obtained. 1) Daily dosage was 1mg b.i.d. and total duration of medication was weeks. 2) Mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure declined by 23mmHg(14%) and 18mmHg(17%) respectively. 3) Good or fair controls were achieved in 78% of patients. 4) There was no significant change in heart rate during and after treatment. 5) There were no significant changes in fasting blood sugar, serum creatinine, K+, uric acid, ca++, transaminase and cholesterol levels before and after treatment. 6) In 5 patients transient side effects were observed which resolved spontaneously. In view of these results Indapamide appears to be effective agent for the treatment of mild to moderate hypertension and dose not cause significant change in blood chemistry.
