We report a case of subcutaneous panniculitic T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) which occurred in a 10-year-old Korean girl. Her disease presented as multiple erythematous subcutaneous nodules on the right cheek, left chest, abdomen, left flank, both calves, and left shin with systemic symptoms. She had a protracted course of multiple erythematous subcutaneous nodules for 2 months often with spiking fever. Histopathologic findings for the subcutaneous nodules revealed lobular panniculitis-like findings composed of atypical small, bland lymphocytes and histiocytes. Characteristically, atypical lymphocytes rimmed individual fat cells in a lace-like pattern and some histiocytes occasionally phagocytosed WBCs. Bone marrow findings revealed increased phagocytic histiocytes with engulfed hematopoietic cell. The immunophenotypic studies showed CD45RO (UCHLl)+, CD20-, CD4-, CD8+ and CD56+ (focal), lysozyme+, CD45 (LCA)+ and EBV-. She received three cycles of high-dose cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine, prednisolone (CHOP) and methotrexate, intrathecal methotrexate and one cycle of fludarabine, mitoxantrone and dexamethasone (FND) chemotherapy. She died of acute renal failure during multiple chemotherapy.

Pityriasis lichenoides chronica is characterized by unknown etiology, chronicity and by being essentially asymptomatic and refractory to therapy. Nine patients with pityriasis lichenoides chronica were treated with orally administrated 8-Methoxypsoralen and UVA irradiation(PUVA Therapy). After S-45 PUVA treatments, lesions were completely cleared.

Based on our experience with 23 frontotemporal reconstructions performed, this paper attempts to provide guidelines for appropriate selection among the four most commonly employed materials (e.g., autogenous parietal bone, silicone rubber, methylmethacrylate, and porous polyethylene) so that optimal results can be achieved. Clinical follow-up ranged from 6 to 91 months (mean 32 months). Every patient was analyzed clinically by ordinary scale method. The mean defect size was 134.8 cm2 in the silicone rubber, 36.5 cm2 in the methylmethacrylate, 17.4 cm2 in the autogenous bone graft and 7.3 cm2 in the porous polyethylene. The clinical assessment was excellent (mean, 29.3 points) in silicone rubber, excellent (mean, 28.6 points) in autogenous bone, excellent (mean, 26.8 points) in methylmethacrylate, and good (mean, 24.8 points) in polyethylene. To sum up, a large bony defect of congenital calvarial anomaly produced an excellent result using custom-made silicone implant. A relatively small bony defect with a scarred bed produced an excellent result using autogenous parietal bone grafting. Unexpected and medium-sized defect was reconstructed successfully through a simple procedure using methylmethacrylate. Porous Polyethylene was used at an incidental small defect because of its expensiveness.

We performed 75 cases of daryocystorhinostomy from Jan. 1988 to Dec. 1990. A routine dacryocystography was performed prior to operation in all cases. A modified T oti's method was applied as a surgical technique "H" shaped incision was done. Both anterior and posterior flaps were sutured adequately and vaseline guaze was used as a plugging agent for 7 to 10 days Success was achieved in 72(96.0%) of 75 cases. The causes of 3-failures were organized granulation tissue and trauma.

The principle of the tension band technique is to counteract the tensile forces acting across the fracture site and to convert them into compressive forces. We have experienced 37 fractures treated with tension band technique from 1975 to 1978 and the results are as followings; 1. 37 Cases of fracture were treated by tension band technique. Eight cases out of 37 were olecranon fractures. 16 cases were patellar fractures. 10 cases were malleclar fractures. and three cases were trochanteric fractures of the femur. 2. As post-operative immobilization, applied cast splint in almost of the cases except application of hip spica cast in trochanteric fracture. 3. The average duration of immobilization in each cases, 12 days in olecranon, two weeks in patella, four weeks in malleolus and six weeks in greater trochanter respectively. 4. The radiological union was obtained in seven weeks in olecranon, six weeks in patella, eight weeks in malleolus and six weeks in greater trochanter. 5. As complication, one case of nonunion in olecranon, one case of infection and, one case of wire breakage in patella and one case of traumatic arthritis in malleolus were noted, which needed further surgery. 6. In conclusion, tension band wiring is considered as a good method for the fractures involving joing, olecranon, patella, and malleolus because the technique has advantages such as rigid internal fixation, shortening the duration of immobilization and fracture healing and early mobilization of the neighboring joints.

Osteoblastoma is a benign lesion somewhat similar to ostoid osteoma histologically but different from it clinically, roentgenologically and grossly. The autors have experienced a case of benign osteoblastoma of the neural arch of the Iumbar spine, and treated the case by total laminectomy and conflrmed with biopsy.
