There have been reported cases that the Krukenberg Tumor had been primary ovarian carcinoma. But the Krukenberg Tumor is generally known as one special type of metastatic ovarian carcinoma, which histologically consists of nest of mucin filled signet-ring cells in a cellular, nonneoplastic stroma. The most common gastrointestinal tract origin for Krukenberg tumor is the stomach, and the next frequent is the large intestine. Generally the Krukenberg tumor is difficult to diagnose and treat until somewhat enlarging its size. We experienced a case of the Krukenberg tumor on the remained ovary after the previous unilateral adnexectomy, which was metastasized from adenocarcinoma of stomach. We present this case with a brief review of literature.

Chancroid is an acute localized, autoinoculable venereaI disease caused by Haemophilus ducreyi, characterized clinicaIly by painful ulceration at the site of incubation, and frequently accompanied by regional lymphadenopathy, and short incubation period. Three cases of chancroid were seen in Won Ju city, Kangwondo, Korea. All of the patients were male, and painful ulcers developed on genital region in 2 to 3 days after sexual contacts. Direct smear showed the characteristic "school-of-fish" arrangement of Haemophilus ducreyi by Gram stain. There were no regional lymphadenopathies and VDRL test were negative. Treatments were done with sulfisoxazole (Gantrisin) in case I, with sulfamethoxydiazine(Bayrena) and streptomycin in case 2, and with sulfamethoxydiazine and tetracycline in case 3 with exccllent results.

Porokeratosis is an uncommon autosomally dominant inher ted disorder. Clinically, it is characterized by nonhealing plaques that develop most comnorly on the limbs. We report a case of disseminated superficial porokeratosis in immunosuppre sed kidney transplant recipient. An abrupt and extensive eruption of porokeratosis was observed in a 46-year-old man 7 months after renal transplantation, while being treated with cyclosporin A and prednisone. The histological features were essentially the same as the typical cornoid lamella. Immunosuppression may exacerbate or initiate the developm nt of porokeratosis in patients predisposed to alterations of cutaneous growth dynamics.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is known to be a neoplasm of the major and minor salivary glands but it also occurs in the lacrimal gland, external auditory canal, easphagus, breast and skin. Adenoid cystic carcinoma of salivary gland is a slow-growin nalignant tumor. Although metastasis of this tumor clevelnps in about half the cases, its meta taes to the overlying skin is not common, moreover the skin metastasis to the remote site is raely found. Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma is rare and histologically indistingisl able from skin metastasis of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the salivary gland. A 53 year-old man presented a solitary, well defined, erythen at us, 1.3 x 1.3cm sized nodule on the vertex of the scalp, which revealed the typical histopatholog ndings of adenoid cystic carcinoma. One and half years ago, a tumor of the parotid gland va removed and proved to be a cribriform pattern of adenoid cystic carcinoma. The skin lesion was diaghosed as a skin metastasis of the alenoid cystic carcinoma of parotid gland rather than a primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinona because a similar pattern of adenoid cystic carcinorom had been discovered on the parotidg an l although it developed on the scalp, the usual site of primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinama.

Intravascular papillary endotholial hyperplasia is a relatively rare (istose which is characterized by the development of endothelialdined papillary projections in a vascula humen. It is commonly found to be associated with thromboticrraterial and is now considered a reative process of the endothelium rather than a neoplastic one. Although this disease usually presents petri dish or bluish nodule on the head, neck or upper extremiti it can develop anywhere on the bod, . There are many reports about lesions in unusal locations, but t.hey are almost always solitary. A 61-year-old woman complained of multiple, tender, 1 x 1 to 4 x 5 creasized nodules on both hands, antecubital fossa, chest, abdomen, left shoulder and right calf. These the nodules showed reddish to bluish colors and had long hisbiries from 1 year to 7 years. Four our 13 lesions were excised for histopathologic diagnosis intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplaian 3 lesions and cavernous hemangioma in 1 lesion.(

We report a case of drug eruption and liver damage due to diaminodiphenyl suIfone(DDS) ingestion in a 17-year-old female. This patient had taken DDS for 20 days, 100mg-200mg daily to treat an unknown skin disease. Thereafter, she had generalized erythematous eruption on whole body, icteric sclera and fever. Liver function test showed abnormality (SGOT 514 unit, SGPT 710 unit, alkarine phosphotase 4. 3 B.U., total biIirubin 7. Oml/dl, direct bilirubin 4. 8mg/dl). The adverse reactiions to DDS are gastrointestinal intolerance, hemolytic, anemia, methemoglobinemia, agranulocytoais, hepatitis, neuritis, psychosis and a skin rash described as a fixed drug eruption, erythema multiforme, exfoliative dermatitis and toxic epidermal necrolysis. In Korea, DDS has been used for the treatment of skin diseases of various types for a long time without prescription, especially in rural areas. This trend is a significant sociomediical problem in Korea.
