17,966 new outpatients who visited the Department of Dermatology of Wonju Christian Hospital from 1985 to 1989 were analyzed statistically. The study results are summarized as follws : 1. Among the 17,966 outpatients, the total number of male patients were 8358 (46.5%) and female patients were 9608 (53.5%). 2. In age distribution, the most frequent age groups were lst decade (24.0), 2nd decade (16.5), and 3 rd decade (25.5) amounting to 66% of the total outpatients. 3. The 15 most common dermatoses were dermatophytosis, atopic dermatitis, urticaria, acne, seborrheic dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, other eczema, hypopigmentary disorder, bacterial infection, psoriasis, insect bites, and herpes zoster. 4. Those dermatoses which showed increasing tendency were other eczema, hypopigmentary disorder, herpes zoster, and those of decreasing tendency were scabies, bacterial infection. psoriasis, insect bites. 5. Seasonal distribution. showed those diseases occurring most frequently during the summer season were dermatophytosis, insect bites. urticaria, acne, eczema, contact dermatitis. hypopigmentary disorder, bacterial infection. and herpes zoster. The incidence of atopic deratitis. and psoriasis were incfreased during the winter season. 6. In sexual distribution sebourrheic dermatitis. and scabies were more frequent in the males. whereas with urticaria. acne, contact dermatitis, and other eczema the females were more commonly affected. 7. In age distribution, atopic dermatitis, bacterial infection, and insect bites were the most frequent in the Ist decade. Dermatophytosis. urticaria, acne, seborrheic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, other eczema, hypopigmentary disorder, drug eruption, and psoriasis were most frequent in the 3 rd decade, with scabies in the 2nd decade, and herpes zoster in the 6th decade. 8. The distributions of dermatoses as disease groups, were eczema (23.8%), dermatophytosis (13.9%), urticaria-drug eruption (12.2%), skin appendage disorder (11.2%), and viral infection (8.1%), which constituted 69.2% of the total.

Neurocutaneous melanosis is a rare congenital syndrome characterized by the presence of large or multiple congenital pigmented nevi and a benign or maigrant pigment cell tumor of the leptomeninges. The s ndrome is thought to represent an erroi in the morphogenesis of the embryonal neuroectoderm. Even in the absence of melanorra, symptomatic neurocut.aneous melanosis has extremely poor prognosis. We report a case of neiirocutaneous melanosis in 38-year-old male. He was noted at birth to have a giant pigmented nevus on the bathing trunk area. He presneted with severe headache. Brain CT sca n was performed and 4 x 4cm sized well demarcated contrast enhanced mass was seeii in the right frontal lobe. Histopathologically, the tumor was composed of malignant melanoma cells. Multiple skin biopsies werperformed on the giant pigmented nevus and small nevi. All of the specimens revealed patterns typical of cornpound nevi. Dermatologists following patients with large or multiple congenial pigmented nevi should be aware of this condition to aid in prompt diagnosis.

A 4-year-old boy has had a solitary sclerotic depressed plaque on the right anterior chest since birth. The histopathologic findings are consistent with morphea profunda: thickening, hyalinization, and homogenization of collagen bundles in the dermis and subcutaneous tissues, admixture with a prominent lymphocytic and plasma cell infiltrate, and sweat glands en-trapped between the thickened collagen bundles. We report a case of congenital solitary morphea profunda.

Information on work stress and mental health status of industrial workers was required for optimum staffing and health care management. This study dealt with the relationship between mental health status examined by PSI(psychiatric symptom index) and socio-demographic variables. Especially this study attempted to find relevant determinants of the stress and mental health through multiple stepwise regression analysis based on data obtained from 687 occupational workers. The findings of this study were as follows; Mean scores of symptom dimension were higher in youth, female, more educated, unmarried and divorced, and workers in the noisy condition and short duration in job. And it showed high scores in long duration in job for anxiety; college educated for anger; unmarried for cognitive disturbance. The factors affecting the mean scores of psychiatric symptom index were varied according to the types of symptom; age, sex and duration in job for anxiety; age, sex, living with parent, education and marital status for anger; sex and marital status for depression; noisy condition and sex for cognitive disorder.

Skin tags are very common skin tumors in middle age. In spite of their frequent occurrence, there was no reported cases of verruca vulgaris developing on the soft fibroma. We report a case of verruca vulgaris developing on the bag-like skin tag. We think that the incidence of HPV infection on the large skin tags may be higher than on normal skin due to their protrusion and repetitive irritation.

High output heart failure due to congenital arteriovenous fistula is a rare disease and is difficult to treat. A 27 year old man, suffering from dyspnea, palpitation, lower extremity edema, and abdominal distension admitted May, 1987. At admission there were continuous thrill and bruit at left supraclavicular and infraclavicular area. The heart sound was irregular and rapid, and grade IV/VI pansystolic murmur was audible at the apex. Chest PA showed marked cardiomegaly with pleural effusion and notching at superior aspect of left 2nd rib. Selective left subclavian artery angiogram showed extensive congenital arteriovenous fistula at the area of left subclavian artery and its branches. After setrial feeding artery embolization and palliative operation, the fistula size decreased much with clinical improvement.
