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.

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).

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.

Though the primary carcinoma of the vermiform appendix is rare, the secondary carcinoma of the vermiform appendix is extremely rare. About fourty cases have been reported through the world. The breast is most common primary site, and adenocarcinoma is most common form. The metastatic carcinoma of the vermiform appendix, from squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix, were extremely rare. The authors experienced a case of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the vermiform appendix, in thirty-two years old housewife. She was diagnosed with carcinoma of the uterine cervix on December, 1983, and treated with a radical hysterectomy on February, 1984, at Chicago, and with a radiation therapy. She had been suffered from palpable masses on left axilla and left neck region, and and coughing and chest pain. After an excision biopsy, on August, 1984, she showed intestinal obstruction sign including abdominal distension with abdominal pain. A right-sided hemicolectomy was performed on November, 1984. During gross examination, the wall of the distal portion of the vermiform appendix was moderatery thickened, and showed homogeneous light yellow cut surface. On microscopic examination, there were clusters of tumors that had negative stained preparations. On electron microscopic examination, the secretory granules were not found, and the characteristics of squamous cells, including intercellular spaces, desmosomes and tonofibrils, were noted.
