Carcinoma of the breast can produce cutaneous metastases which sbow highly diversified clinical pictures. The cutaneous metastases produce four definite clinical types: inflammatory carcinoma, telangiectatic carcinoma, nodular carcinoma, and carcinoma, en cuirasse. We present a case of 78-year-old nulliparous woman who had several painful dark purplish colored zosteriform papulovesicular eruptions, suggestive of herpes zoster, on the right breast, right axilla, scapular area, and upper arm for three month. Two month later, well dermacated linearly arranged erysipeloid eruptions appeared around the previous skin lesions and the right chest wall. Histopathological findings showed metastatic ductal carcinoma with massive vascular permeation but the primary focus was undetermined.

One of the important anesthetic problems is cross-infection in anesthetic machines in operating rooms. This study is an attempt to determine the transfer of organisms through anesthetic apparatus. The bacteriological experiments were based on selective culture with blood agar media(Difco, U.S.A.) in the operating theater, recovery room and in anesthetic apparatus which was either sterilized with chemicals or without sterilization. Furthermore, nasopharyngeal culture also determined in normal healthy patients. The hypersensitivity test was performed by Kolmer's method. The results are as follows; 1) Most of the organisms in the operating room were Staphylococcus and Baeillus subtilis, (table 1.) 2) Bacteriological examination of unsterilized anesthetic acessories showed Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and Gram negative bacillus. (table 2) The sterilizaiton of anesthetic apparatus with Benzalkonium chloride solution for 40 minutes was superior to that with our standard Sterilized solution for one and half hours. (table 3.) 3) The majority of colonies responded to Albamycine, Erythromycine, Kanamycine and Achromycine. (table4, 4-a.) 4) Strep.nonhemolyticus (37.0%) was the most common bacterial flora of the nasopharynx isolated from healthy persons. (table 5.) In conclusion, it is most important to check the bacteriological examination of operating roon s and anesthetic apparatus at regular intervals and to clean hands before and after anesthesia.

The ambulatory electrocardiographic examinations were performed in 31 patients (mean age of 59.4+/-9.3 yrs : male 16 cases, female 15 cases) with ischemic heart disease to evaluate the clinical features of ST segment more than 1 mm persisting for 45 seconds or longer. The incidence of associated disease are angina pectoris 14 cases, acute myocardial infarction 3 cases, old myocardial infarction 7 cases, hypertension 19 cases, diabetes mellitus 5 cases, cerebrovascular disease 4 cases, aortic regurgitation 2 cases, ventricular arrhythmia 1 case and chronic renal faliure 1 case. 93.7% of 252 monitored episodes of transient myocardial ischemia were silent. The incidence and duration of transient myocardial ischemia were 8.1+/-6.7 episodes/day (7.6+/-6.5episodes/day for silent myocardial ischemia, 0.5+/-0.9 episodes/day for silent ischemia, 7.6+/-14.1mins/day for symptomatic ischemia). The heart rate at the onset of ST segment depression is higher in symptomatic episode than silent episode (94.6+/-19.7 vs 82.1+/-17.4/min,. p<0.05). But duration of ST segment depression is longer in silent episode than symptomatic episode(32.4+/-97.7 vs 14.8+/-10.2/min,. p<0.01). Maximal ST segment depression was similar between silent and symptomatic episode (1.61+/-0.65 mm, 1.97+/-0.84 mm, repectively). 55.5% of silent episodes occurred during sleep or resting state and 60% of symptomatic episodes occurred during strenuous effort, exercise or eating (p<0.01). Transient myocardial ischemia developed not more frequently in the morning probably because the 24 hour Holter electrocadiographic examination was performed during hospitalization in the majority of cases.

Acne Vulgaris*

Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is an intraepithelial neoplastic disorder which is included as a rare malignant condition. However, it sometimes shows aggressive behavior of local recurrence and coexisting malignancy. We had experienced nine cases of EMPD involving the scrotum for seven years. Two cases of them presented metastasis. The first case presented extensive inguinal lymph node metastasis with underlying adnexal adenocarcinoma one year after wide local excision. The second case initially presented multiple metastasis to the liver and in the lymph node. The latter, showing fulminant progression with liver metastasis, may be only the second case reported in English literature. EMPD is considered as a malignant neoplasm with aggressive behavior from initial presentation. Because wide local excision of the lesion alone may be occasionally insufficient, a careful follow-up must be done to detect recurrence or internal malignancy.

Twelve male patients with operable breast cancer were evaluated for the expression of prognostic factors by immunohistochemical staining assay. Seven patients were stage I and II, and five patients were stage III. Axillary lymph node positivity was 42%. Nine patients were nuclear grade I, three were nuclear grade II, and none were nuclear grade III. The expression rate of EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor), ER (estrogen receptor) were 8.3%, 70.0% respectively. This limited data suggest better tumor behavior in male than in female breast cancer. Adjuvant treatment should be considered in male breast cancer just as in females, based on axillary lymph node and ER states.
