Most of malignant melanoma of skin had occurred in transformation from benign nevi(Webster, 1944), especially most frequently from junctional nevi of them. which was characterized by flat surface, dark-brown color and hairlessness(Ackermen, 1948) Blumberg (1972) introduced five levels of hietologic invasion of malignant melanoma described by Clark et al. Morton(1970) reported various measures of treatment such as surgery combined with radiotherapy or with chemotherapy or with recent immunotherapy with good result. The authors recently experienced 24-yeas old male soldier patient with malignant melanoma on hypothenar region of right palm. The pathologic investigation including electronmicroscopical aspect was carried out and are presented. Treatment consisted of the resections of right axillary lymph nodes and the lesion in situ on the hypotherar region of right hand, pedicle skin graft to right hand from abdomen, and immediate postoperative immunotherapy with intradermal injection of 1.0 cc. of B.C.G. daily on extensor surface of both thighs in turn, which lasted for about 3 months duration to find good result.

The human hand is a highly sophisticated tool of sensibility and prehension, and the reconstruction of injured hands are essential to not only reconstruct of hand function but also reconstruct of body. Seven cases of tendocutaneous flap, a case of osteocutaneous flap, nine cases of thumb reconstruction with a free neurovascular wrap-around flap from the big toe, two cases of second toe-to-index trander, and a case of left ring finger to right index finger transfer were performed at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery of Hanyang University Hospital, and satisfactory results were obtained both comsmetically and functionally.

Recurrent episode of meningitis in infants and children frequently constitute a frustrating and distressing, both in determination of course and treatment. The authors are reporting a infected case of congenital dermal sinus with dermoid cyst in the subarachnoid space of cauda equina and conus medullaris which was cured after complete removal of cyst and sinus tract.

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic, progressive, inflammatory arthritis that affects principally the sacroiliac joints and spine. Approximately 25% of cases are associated with an acute recurrent nongranulomatous iridocyclitis. This disease occurs most frequently in the second and third decades of the life. Males are affected more frequently than females. There is a striking association between this disease and presence of histocompatibility antigen HLA-B27, which is found in only 4% to 9% of controls. The antigen is present in 88% to 96% of those with ankylosing spondylitis and in 55% of those with uveitis. The authors experienced lease of acute recurrent uveitis associated with ankylosing spondylitis in a 47 year old male patient. We performed radiologic and laboratory examinations. Radiologic examinations revealed the massive and diffuse calcification of all paravertebral ligaments showing a "bamboo spine" appearance. Laboratory examinations revealed elevated ESR and positive HLA-B27. We treated him with the systemic and topical steroids and topical mydriatics, and had a good result.

Bowens disease is a precaicerous lesion and may transform into in asive squamous cell carcinoma. We present a case of a 67 year-old male with Bowens disease on the buttock from which squamous cell carcinoma developed. He had anerythematous, scaly and crusted slaque with a nodule on the left buttock. Skin biopsy specimen taken from the plaque and nodule revealed typical histopathological findings of Bowens disease and squlamous cell carcinoma, respectieels. The patient was treated with excision and skin graft under general anesthesia.
