Congenital fibrous bands may be found at the gluteus maximus, the gluteus medius,thequadriceqs,the triceps and the deltoideus muscles. Congenital fibrous bands of both gluteus maximus muscles are rare and cause extension contracture of the hip joints. We experienced a case of congenital fibrous bands of both gluteus maximus muscles associated with severe limited flexion of both hips. Almost full flexion of both hips was obtained by excision of the congenital fibrous bands.

Trichofolliculoma is an adnexal tumor of hair follicle oriyin, considered to be of intermediate differentiation between a hair follicle nevus, a simple hyperolasia of the hair follicle, and trichoepithelioma, Which usually lacks mature hair follicles. Grossly the tumor usually appears on the head or neck as a 0.5 to 1.0cm solitary white to pearly papule, Many lesions show a cental pore, and occasionally woolly or cottony hairs may protrude from this pore. Histologically, trichofolliculomas are characterized by a central dilated follicle filled with keratin or hair. Radiating from this primary hair follicle are numerous secndary hair follicles of varying degrees of maturation. An organized fibro-vascular stroma surrounds these epithelial structure, giving it a well-defined nodular appearance. We presented here two case of trichofolliculoma with typical clnical and histopathological findings, one in a 65 year-old female and the other a 56 year-old males.

Intraosseous neurogenic tumors are rare and have been reported most commonly in the mandible, possibly because of the long course of the mental nerve within this bone. They have also been reported very rarely in a vertebra. We experienced a case of intraosseous neurilemmoma arising from the body of the first lumbar vertebra, which resulted in paraplegia. The tumor was removed completely through anterior and posterior approaches by staged operation. Postoperative course was uneventful and paraplegia was recovered within three months postoperatively.

Ipsilateral fractures of the femur neck and shaft show diagnostic difficulties and complexity of the treatment. This femoral double fracture, when not initially diagnosed, carries a much high risk of complications, such as aseptic necrosis of the femoral head. Early recognition is of importance. The definitive treatment of a fractured femur should be begun after the ipsilateral hip and the knee joint have been examined clinically and radiologically. At the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Dae Han General Hospital, from July 1985 to March 1990, four cases of the concomitant ipsilateral femur neck and shaft fracture had been treated and followed-up for 2.4 years in average (ranging from 1.1 to 4.7 years).

We report a case of Becker's nevus associated with ipsilateral breast hypoplasia in a 13-year-old female. Three years esrlier, she noticed a palrn-size hyperpigmented area on her left chest. The lesion showed a well defined geographic border. No hypertrichosis was seen. Hypoplasia was apparent on the left breast. A histopathologic finding showed a slightly hyperpigmented epidermis and some rectangular rete ridges with flat bases.

The antihypertensive effect of captopril was evaluated in 15 patients with mild to moderate essestial hypertension(Mean age : 55, Mean blood pressure : 171/102mmHg). Captopril was administered 25 to 50mg twice daily with or without hydrochlorothiazide by mouth according to our protocol which was presented in the text. All the patients were followed up to 12 weeks. Captopril with or without hydrochlorothiazide significantly lowered the systolic and diastolic pressure in almost all patients. The mean systolic and diastolic pressure were reduced to 134/86mmHg(-37/-16mmHg ; -22/-16%)(p<0.001). Heart rate did not change significantly. No unwanted effects were observed. We conclude captopril has exellent antihypertensive effect in most patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the causative factors of the false positive CT findings of parametrial invasions of cervial cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: we analysed 17 parametria of 14 patients with the diseases staged over lib on CT, but confirmed to be under stage Ila on pathology. The CT findings were retrospectively reviewed, and compared with pathologic findings. RESULTS: The causes of false postive diagnosis of parametrial invasions on CT were prominent cardinal ligaments (n=12), vaginal fornix(n=3), and prominent uterine vessels(n=2). CONCLUSION: Familiarity with these CT finding may be helpful in avoiding false positive diagnosis of parametrial invasion in patients with uterine cervical carcinoma.
