Giant condyloma and carcinoma-like condyloma is relatively rare. Although it has histological similarities to condyloma acuminata, it is believed by most authorities to be a clearly defined variant of epidermoid carcinoma. Clinically it is easily mistaken for the more aggressive metastasing epidermoid carcinoma. The legion was first described by Buschke in the German literature in 1896. as a varient of condyloma acuminata. A case of malignancy of the penis which have apparently been transformed from giant condyloma acuminata of the penis are herein presented with review of literature.

Enchondromas generally occur in the hand and uncommonly in the long bones. Because enchondromas are usually asymptomatic, most are discovered during diagnostic radiology for another disease. Here, we describe a case of enchondroma in the right humerus in a 79-year-old female patient with concomitant rotator cuff tear arthropathy. The patient was initially hospitalized for prolonged pain and pseudoparalysis of the right shoulder. The condition, which was histologically confirmed as an enchondroma in the proximal humerus, was treated with curettage and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. In this case report, we present a rare case of an enchondroma with combined rotator cuff tear arthropathy.

To ease the convinience of indentification of common dermatophytes in Korea and to check the possibility of diseovering new species not yet reported in Korea, several species of dermatophytes were cultured on potato dextrose agar(PDA) at the room temperature. They were 46 strains isolated from Korea and 6 domestic strains from a foreign country. Gross and microscopic findings of their colonies were examined. The colonial morphology and microscopic appearance were compared with those of the same strains on Sabouraud dextrose agar(SDA) and corn meal agar(CMA). The results were as follows Typical T. rubrum and its varisnts showed characteristic wine red pigmentation which was rapid, diffuse and uniform, typically arrsnged microconidia were better on PDA. T. mentagrophytes showed yellow-brown pigmentation which were more rapid and darker in the center with gradual fading to the periphery. The mscroconidia, grape-like clusters of microconidia and spiral hyphae were seen better on SDA. T. tonsurans showed characteristic mahogsny colored pigmentation, ballooned microconidia and macroconidia which were seen better on PDA, but diffusible pigmentation of agar were present on SDA only. The gross morphology of T. verracosum were similar on PDA and SDA, but macroconidia were seen better on PDA and CMA, and tortuous hyphae with antler-like branching were seen better on SDA. T. rnegninii showed green-brown pigmentation which appeared rapidty and prominently on PDA. T. rubrum-like microconidia were seen better on PDA and CMA, but in SDA only hyphae were seen. The gross morpholgy of M. canis was similar on PDA and SDA, but spindle shaped macroconidia were seen more typically on PDA. The gross morphology and microscopic appearance of M. gypseum were very similar in all three media. M. ferruginenm showed characteristic rust colored pigmentation and bamboo hyphae which were seen more typically on PDA. The gross morphalogy of E floceosum were similar on PDA and SDA, but cluster formation of club shaped macroconidia were seen more prominently on PDA and CMA. These findings suggest that PDA is a mare convincing media t6Cifferentiate among dermatophytes belonging to genus Trichopkyton.

BACKGROUND: Neer type II distal clavicle fractures have the drawback of coracoclavicular instability and insufficient distal bony fragment, thereby making it difficult to achieve adequate fixation. Although various surgical treatments have been described for Neer type II fracture, the optimal treatment remains controversial. This study reports the clinical results and usefulness of anatomical locking plate with additional K-wire fixation. METHODS: A totally of 21 patients with type II distal clavicle fracture were included in the study. The surgical procedure reduced the fracture temporarily; it included insertion of one or two K-wire from the lateral margin of the distal fragment to the proximal fragment through the fracture site, followed by application and fixation of the locking plate. The bony union and migration of K-wire was evaluated in the follow-up radiography. The coracoclavicular distance and acromioclavicular joint arthrosis were assessed at the final follow-up. The Constant Score (CS) and Korean Shoulder Score (KSS) were evaluated for clinical scoring. RESULTS: Bone union was achieved in all cases. At the final follow-up, coracoclavicular distance of the injured shoulder was increased, as compared to the intact shoulder (p=0.002), with no accompanying clinical symptoms. No K-wire migration was observed. At the final follow-up, K-wire irritation was observed in two cases and acromioclavicular arthrosis in one case, with no other adverse effects. Pain visual analogue scale, CS, and KSS were improved in all cases. CONCLUSIONS: The method of anatomical locking plate with additional K-wire fixation could be useful in achieving beneficial clinical results.
