BACKGROUND: Tinea faciale usually has been classified as tinea corgoris. Recently it has often been classified as a seperate disease recently because of its various clinicel pesentations. OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to evaluate the clinical characteristics and mycological findings of tinea faciale, METHODS: Clinieal and mycological study was done with 42 eases of tinea faciale among out-patients examined for eight years from January 1985 to December 1992 at Yeungnam University Hospital, Taegu, Korea. RESULTS & CONCLUSION: 1. The average of annual distribution of patients was five and there a as no significant difference according to year. The age distribution of patients was highest under age 10(33.4%). The ratio of male to female patient was 3.1: 1. Monthly or seasonal distribution if patients was not significantly different. 2. Of 42 cases, causative organisms were isolated in 31 cases. They are Trichophyton(T.) rubrum in 19 cases (61.3%), Microsporum(M.) canis in 6 cases (19.4%), T. mentcgrophytes in 5 cases (16.1%) and M. gypseum in 1 case(3.7%) in tbe order of decreasing frequncd M. canis was the main causative organisrn in children under age 10. In the age group after 10, T. rubrum was predominated. T. rubrum infection was most frequently seen in spring, T. mentagrphates infection was seen more in winter and M. canis infectior in autumn. 3. Classic annular types were seen most frequently in the cases caused by T. rubrum and T. mentagrophytes. Papular types were seen most commonly in the case caused by M. canis. Multiple facial lesions were seen in T. rubrum infection (2 cases) and Of canis infection (1 case). Tinea faciale simulated several other dermatoses. These were contact, dermatitis, lupus erythematosus, photosensitive dermatosis, rosacea, granuloma annulare and acne. Of these, tinea faciale simulated contact dermatitis most frequently. Coexisting fungal infections were found in 7 patients and tinea corporis was most frequently present. Topical antifungsl agent was tried alone in 22 cases, and topical and systemic antifungal agent were combined in 20 cases.

We have experienced two cases of the intramedullary ependymomas in the cervicothoracic and thoracolumbar spinal cord. The myelographic studies showed complete block or fusiform filling defect of the dye and they were treated by total laminectomy with excision of the tumor mass. The histological studies verified them ependymomas and the patients have shown good improvement of the neurological defecits in postoperative period.

One case of osteoid osteoma in the lamina of the fifth lumbar spine with hamstring muscle tightness was experienced and successfully treated by surgery at the department of orthopedic surgery in Seoul National University Hospital. Literature on the subject was reviewed in detail.

The blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome(CRBNS) is a rare disorder characterized by distinctive vascular malformations of the skin and gastrointestinal tract. The syndrome is associated commonly with iron deficiency anemia due to gastrointestinal bleeding. Most cases are sporadic, although a few have been reported with autosomal dominant inheritance. We report a case with clinical characteristics of the blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome. The patient had typical skin manifestations of the BRBNS and chronic iron deficiency anemia. However, we could not find any gastrointestinal vascular malformations radiologically.

The widespread use of diagnostic radiography, especially using magnetic resonance imaging, has helped to increase the diagnosis of paralabral cysts in patients with chronic shoulder pain. These paralabral cysts are frequent in the anterior, the superior, and the posterior compartment of the shoulder joint but are rare in the inferior compartment. Paralabral cysts in the shoulder appear particularly in men in their third and fourth decades but rarely in elderly patients. We report a case of an inferior paralabral cyst in an elderly patient whom we treated through arthroscopic decompression.
