Cutaneous metastases from internal carcinornas are relatively rare. The frequency of metastases to the skin varies from 0.5-4.4%. We report a case of cutaneous metastasis suspected to originat from stomach cancer. A 44-year-old female, who had an episode of total gastrectony under diagnosis of stornach cancer three years ago, had multipe painless erythernatous nodules on the case and neck for one year. Histologic findings shows atypical anaplastic cell infiltration at the derr is and subcutaneous tissues. Cells with hyperchrornatic and erally displaced nuclei were recogniz d PAS staining shows positive reactions within the cells of glarid like structure. She died twelve month after the appearance of the cutaneous lesions.

BACKGROUND: Chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus(CCLE) is a well-known disease entity. But there has been no data about its clinical behavior and histopathologic features in Korea. OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to elucidate the clinical, laboratory, and histopathologic features of CCLE, and the relationship between CCLE and SLE. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We investigated 48 cases of CCLE that visited the department of dermatology at the Seoul National University Hospital from January 1990 to June 1997. Medical records and biopsy slides were reviewed.

In order to observe the effect on liver function after exposure to enlurane which has relatively minimal hepatotoxic effect, we evaluated the changes of the s-GOT & s-GPT levels caused by general anesthesia with enflurane. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of enflurane on liver function by comparing the preoperative and postoperative(1st day, 3rd day, 5th day, and 7th day) liver function(s-GOT & s-GPT) tests is il cases of the first general anesthesia with enflurane and 15 cases of a second general anesthesia with enflurane. The results were as folllows: 1) The 1st operative group. a. There are 5 cases (45%) of significant changes of s-GOT levels and no case of significant change in sGPT levels. b. In most of cases, the level of s-GOT & s-GPT have returned to normal values on the 7th postoperative day. 2) The 2nd operative group. a. The increase in the levels of s-GOT was found in 10 cases, and the s-GPT in 6 cases. b. Postoperatively, the simultaneous increase in the levels of s-GOT & s-GPT were found in 4 cases. c. On the 7th postoperative day, the levels of s-GOT & s-GPT was not normal in 3 cases, and not normal for s-GPT in 2 cases. The above results show that the higher of levels of s-GOT & s-GPT after the second general anesthesia with enflurane apparent compared to the levels after the first general anesthesia with enflurane. And it can be assumed that the extreme precaution is necessary in conduction the second general anesthesia with enflurane.

A case of papillary eccrine adenoma on the right hand of a 84-year-old woman is reported. The tumor was 1 cm in diameter, occupying the whole thickness of the dermis. Histologically, the tumor was composed of dilated tubules of various sizes with intraluminal papillary projections, and was surrounded by a fibrous stroma. An immunohistochemical study revealed that the proliferating tubules were composed of the outermost layer of alpha-smooth muscle actin-positive and the inner layer of keratin 14-negative cells. This antigen expression pattern was comparable to that of the normal eccrine secretory coil, which indicates that the tumor differentiated toward the secretory coil of an eccrine sweat gland.
