Korean Journal of Dermatology 1998;36(6):1106-1108
We report a case of morphea profunda in a 21-year-old male who had diffuse brown sclerotic plaques on his extremities. Laboratory findings showed peripheral eosinophilia and an increased titers for anti-DNA and anti-nuclear antibodies. Histopathologic findings showed diffuse fibrosis and a thickening of the lower dermis and subcutaneous tissue. He has been treated with hydroxychloroquine 400mg per day and the sclerosis of the skin improved.

A clinical observation of cutaneous complications was made on 200 patients receiving cancer chemotherapy at the Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul National University from January through May, 1986. The results were as follows: 1. Among the 200 patients, 191 case(95. 5%) showed cutaneous complications 2. The cutaneous complications included the following; hyperpigmentation(14l cases, 70. 5%), alopecia(138 cases, 69.4%), nail change(118 cases, 59.0%), mucositis(47 cases, 23.5%), dryness of the skin(40 cases, 20.0%), seborrheic dermatitis(24 cases, 12. 2%), increase of seborrheic keratosis(11 cases, 5.6%), folliculitis or acneiform eruptions(9 cases, 4,5%), melasma(6 cases, 3.0%), gynecomastia(3 cases, 1.5%), vessel hardening or dimpling(3 cases, 1.5%), radiation recall(2 cases, 1.0%), hyperhydrosis(2 cases), photosensitivity(1 case, 0.5%), tissue necrosis(1 case), facial flushing(1 case), purpura(1 case) and obesity(1 case), 3 Steps were taken to determine the chemotherapeutic agents causing these cutaneous complications, though in some cases it was difficult in determining exaetlr which chemotherapeutic agent was the cause of the observed cutaneous complication.

A clinical observation of the nail pigmentation change was made on 200 patients receiving cancer chemotheray who were seen at; the Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul National University Hospital, from January through May, 1986. The results were as follows: l. Among the 200 patients, 118 cases(59%,) showed nail pigmentation changes. 2. The patterns of nail pigmentation change were as follows: Parallel transverse band(70 cases 59.3%), longitudinal pigmentated band(32 cases, 27. 1%), brown arc(25 cases, 21. 2%), Proximal black pigmentation(10 cases, 8. 5%), diffuse pigmentation(5 cases, 4.2%), parallel transverse white line(5 cases, 4.2%), half and half nail(3 cases, 2. 5%), pigmentations with transverse white band(1 case, 0. 8%). 3. Various cambinations of nail pigmentation pattern were found in 33 patients (28. 0%). 4. 11 cases of the nail dystrophy with nail pigmentation change were observed: Longitudinal ridge(7 cases), transverse groove(3 cases), wavy transverse fissure (1 case).

5.Adenoma of the Nipple.

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1987;25(4):543-545
Adenoma of the nipple is a benign tumor of the lactiferous ducts of the nipple which frequently causes erosion of the surface. It can clinically mmic Paget's disease and histologically be misdiagnosed as a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. A 20-year-old woman developed an erythematous oozing patch on the right nipple two years ago, which subsequently developed iiito verrucous surfaccd papules. A biopsy specimen of the lesion showed focal acanthosis of the epidermis. The tumor was composed of fairly well-circumscribed, glandlike structures within the nipple stroma. Ductlike struciures, papillary areas, solid nests of cells and cysts lined by squarnous epithelium, could be seen, Two cell types lining the ducts were recognized; inner columnar cells and peripherally located cuboidal cells. Although simple excision of the adenoma is the treatment of choice, our case was treated successfully by electrucoagulation.

Treatment of a paralysed or flail shoulder falls into two categories; arthrodesis and reconstructive surgery. Of these the latter is preferable in view of mobility. Most authors have tried to reconstruct the paralysed abductor by transferring the trapezius muscle only. The final result of these procedures were poor in severe paralysis of the deltoid muscle or combined paralysis of the deltoid and the rotator cuff muscles. Noting the importance of the action of the rotator cuff muscles in abduction of the shoulder, Saha, in 1967, recommended simultaneous reconstruction of tne paralysed deltoid and rotator cuff muscles. We treated a case of paralysed shoulder that followed poliomyelitis by the Saha meshod, i.e., transfer of the trapezius muscle for the paralysed deltoid, transfer of the levator scapulae muscle for the supraspinatus, transfer of the pectoralis minor muscle for the subscapularis, all in one stage. Duration of the follow up was 3 months and the initial result seemed to be good in view of stability, mobility, and abductor power.

8.Contributions of the Radiocarpal and Midcarpal Joint in Radioulnar

Posteroanterior radiographs of normal wrist were taken in seventeen volunteers, and analysed to determine the dynamic relationships between the radiocarpal and midcarpal joint during radioulnar deviation. The total arc of radioulnar deviation was 59 degrees, and the motion was 44% radiocarpal and 56% midcarpal. During radioulnar deviation, the motion at the midcarpal joint was more than that at the radiocarpal joint. It is suggested thst dorsoradial and palmar-ulnar flexion as it occurs at the midcarpal joint can be correlated in radio-ulnar deviation of the wrist more than the coronal sliding motions as it occurs mainly at the radiocarpal joint.

Annular erythema associated with lupus erythematosus/ Sjogrens syndrome has recently been described in Orientals. We present a patient with recurrent annular erythema who partially demonstrated features of lupus erythematosus. A 32-year-old man was referred to us for recurrent annular erythema. Laboratory findings revealed mild leukopenia and the presence of antinuclear antibodies at a titer of 320 with a finely speckled pattern on Hep-2 substrates. Anti-Ro/La antibodies were also detected. A skin biopsy specimen revealed the findings of perivascular and periappendageal lymphocytic infiltration without prominent hydropic degeneration of the basal layer. Skin lesions subsided with hydroxychloroquine (400-200mg/day).

Glomus tumor is a kind of vascular tumor that arises from the glomus body, which regulates skin temperature and is placed in the skin and the subcutaneous area. It is a benign tumor that usually presents in the subungal area. It is relatively common in areas other than the fingers, but its occurrence in peripheral nerves is known to be comparatively rare. We report our experience with a case of glomus tumor arising from the brachial plexus, a rare site of occurrence for glomus tumors.
