The epithelioid angiosarcoma is recently described ns a variant of ang-osarcoma based on its pathological feature, which is characterized by the epithelioid or histiocytoid morphology af the malignant tumor cells. The existence of vascular endothelial tumor with an epithelioid feature has been accepted for many years, most notablyn the forms of epithelioid hemangioma and epithelioid hemangioendo thelioma. In recent years, cutaneous angiosarcoma with epitheloid morphology have been reported as a cutaneos epithelioid angiosarcoma in the literatures. A 60-year-old man presente with a mild tender erythematous 2 x 2 x 2.5cm sized soft fluctuating single nodule with dark hemorrhagic crust on the left forehead for 3 months. He had had an abrasion wound on the lesion site of the forehead by an accidental trauma 5 month before the lesion appeared. Histopathological findings revealed that the tumor mass was chiefly composed of solid sheets of poorly differentiated malignant cells with an epithelioid feature. The characteristics of classical angiosarcoma such as primitive vascular spaces and clefts with malignat cells, and proliferating vessels were also found in some areas. The immunohistochemical stain wi.h the factor VIII related antigen ivas focally reactive in the tumor cells. Unfortunately he refused further treatment and expired 7 months after discharge at home without knowing the direct cause of his health. We report herein an interesting and rare case of the cutaneous epitheioid angiosarcoma which had typical clinical and histopathological findings and suggested as a case with a very aggressive course.

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1977;15(4):395-403
Following the Korean War, the presence of foreign troops in Korea and lowered. sexual morality caused an increase in the rate of prostitution and related venereal diseases. Though the health authorities made efforts to handle these problems, they didnt obtain any noticeable results, because they neglected the scientific prevention and treatment based on expert knowledge, and the sociopsychological problem, which was the basic cause of the increment in the rate of prostitution. They only took administrative action against the prostitutes. Therefore, in July, 1976, we went to a town(named Silver Town) located on the outskirts of a U.S. Air Force base, and, examined and guestioned a number of prostitutes. Each of the 288 subjects residing in the town was given a questionaire that dealt with individual living attitudes, family and social background, and sociopsychological aspects of tbeir lifestyle. Questionaires were completed anonymously. Serological tests for syphilis, the UDRL and TPHA, were also administered. The results of our atudy are as follows. 1) Most of the prostitutes had grown up in large families, in which females were predominant. Because of economic difficulties they dropped out of school a.t an early age and became prostitutes. The average age of a prostitute at the time of her first sexual experience was 19. 9 years, the expriences usually taking place with her first boyfriend. Forty six psrcent of tbe subjects had intercourse for the first time between the ages of 15 and 19. Fortynine & two tenths percent of them because prostitutes within one year of their initial sexual act, and all of them at an average interval of 2.5 years following the first sexual experience, the average age being 22. 4 years. 2) The longer the women had worked as prostitutes, the more they felt dissatisfied with their work, and the more they desired to change to an occupation which was healthier and entailed more self-respect. 3) Out of 283 subjects, 39% had a history of venereal disease, predominantly of gonorrhea. Tbe results of the STS administered to all subjects were,; VDRL 7.7% positive and TPHA 6% positive. It was also concluded that the subjects had no educational or working knowledge of venereal diseases.

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1978;16(1):19-29
From january 1968 to Septomber 1977(approximately 10 years) the authors clinically observed 105 cases of malignant curaneous tumors that visited the Department of Dermatology at Chon-nam University Hospital. The results obtained can be summarized as follows: 1) The incidence of curaneous malignat tumors versus the total number of outpatients visitiong the Department of Dermatology was 0.33 2) The age of onset was quite varied but the majority of cases, 71 cases(67.62%), were over 50 years old. #) The ratio of men to women was 1.56:1. 4) Among the 105 cases of malignant cutaneous tumors the most frequently observed type was squamous cell carcinoma, 40 cases(40.0%) The next most frequent rypes were basal cell carcinoma, 19 cases (18.10%) and malgnant melanoma, 12cases(11.43%) 5) The most common predilection sites were the head and neck in which 55cases(52.38%) were observed. Among these cases the face was most commonly affected, 40 cases(38.10%). The predilection sites of the basal cell carcinoma cases were the nose(47.37%), cheek(21.04%) and eyelid(15.79%). Those of the squamous cell carcinoma cases were the lower lip(26.90%), cheek(24,43) and penis(14,29%). Finally that of the malignant melanoma was the plantar surface(58.34%) 6) We observed metastasis only in wquamous cell carcinoma, Among the 42 cases of squamous cell carcinoma seen, I1 cases showed metastasis, Among these I1 cases of metastasis, 9 cases were metastajzed into the regional lymphnodes, and in 3 cases methstsis to the lung was demonstracted. 7) We found no relationship between the presence of a particular kind of original skin lesion or injury and the development of a cutaneous malignant tumor. some original lesions related to the curaneous malignant tumors we mentosem, radiation, sporotrichosis, neurofibromatosis, etc. 8) One or more of the four following methods of treatment were used on 19 of the observed cases: 1) Surgical Operation 2) Irradiation Therapy. 3) Electrosugery, 4) Chemotherapy, In seven cases(Basal cell carcinoma 5 cases, Squamous cell carcinoma 2 cases) a complete cure was seen, while in five cases(Kaposi's sarcoma 1, case Squamous cell carcinoms 4 cases) the curaneout maligant tumor recurred No improvement was demonstrated in two (Squamous cell carcinoma 1 case, Malignant melanoma 1 case) of the cases and in four cases(Squamous cell carcinoma 3 cases, Malignant Melanoma 1 case) no prognosis could be made because the patients did nor retum to the clinic to complete treatment.

10.Effect of UV Irradiation on Superoxide Dismutase Activities of the Rabbit Skin.
Seung Churl LEE ; Inn Ki CHUN ; Young Pio KIM
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1987;25(4):441-445
This study was undertaken to know whether the UV-irradiation of the skin causes changes in the superoxide dismutase(SOD) activities. After shaving, the back skin of the rabbit was irradiated with UV light ranging from 280 to 320 nm of wavelengths from Burdick lamb (UV800) in doses of either 0.5, 1.0 or l.5 J/cm2. The skin was removed imrnediately after irradiation and the enzyme activity was assayed by the method of McCord ad Fridovich (xanthine-xanthie oxidase system), One unit of the SOD activity was defined as the amount of the enzyme required to inhibit the rate of reduction of cytochrome c by 50%. The protein content of the enzyme was determined by biuret method. The SOD activity of the skin irradiated with 1.0 J/cm was 7. 78 + 1.62 unit/mg protein(Mean+SD; n=10), significantly higher than that of the control(nonirradiated) group(5.62+1.57 unit/mg protein; n=l0). No significant changes were found in the skins irradiated with 1.5 and 1.5 J/cm. This finding indicates that UV irradiation is capablc of increasing the SOD activitiea in the rabbit skin, and suggests that increased superoxide formed by UV irradiatiun induces the increased SOD activies.
