Tinea faeiei is an unusual fungal infection which often is not recognized by clinieians. Because of light sensitivity, the frequent absence of typical clinical manifestation, and secondary changes due to steroid treatment, this condition is frequently misdiagnosed with other dermatoses. We described two patients who showed atypical facial lesions which were histologically diagnosed as tinea faciei. The case I was a 54 year old male who had multiple discoid plaques and nodules on the face. The other case was a 83 year old female who showed scaly plaques, nodules, pustules, and photosensitivity on the face. Histologic exarnination revealed fungus spores and mycelia within the inflamed hair follicles.

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.

Hereditary anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is a rare condition characterized by underdeveloped ectodermal structure including the skin, teeth or skin appendages. The patient has characteristic feature of anhidrosis, hypotrichosis and defective dentition. We experienced a case of hereditary anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in a l-month-old male infant who had unexplained recurring fever, anhidrosis and characteristic facial feature, so we established the diagnosis with clinical feature and skin biopsy.

Little informaition is available concerning the relation between the echocardiographic findings and the pulmonic to systemic flow ratio. Accordingly the author assessed the pattern of the systolic interventricular septal motion and the relation between the type of the systolic interventricular septal motion and the pulmonic to systemic flow ratio in 30 cases with catheterization evidence of secundum atrial septal defect employing the M-mode echocardiographic technique. The results were as follows: 1) Analysis of the pattern of the systolic interventricular septal motion (SESM) allowed classification of cases into 5 groups: Type 1A (4 cases)-Both the right (RS) and left (LS) sides of the interventricular septum move anteriorly during ventricular systole: Type1V (5 cases)-Both RS and LS of the interventricular septum move posteriorly during ventricular systole:Type 2A (9 cases)-LS of the interventricular septum moves posteriorly, while RS fo the interventricular septum remains relatively flat during ventricular systole; Type 2B (8 cases)-RS of the interventricular septum moves anteriorly, while LS of the interventricular septum remains relatively flat during ventricular systole;Type 3(4 cases)-SISM is the same as type 2 and the motion of the left ventricular posterior wall is relatively hyperactive. 2) The pulmonec to systemic flow ratio (Qp/Qs) was statistically different between type 1, 2, and 3 of SISm (Qp/Qs in type 3=2.3+/-0.33;Qp/Qs in type 2=3.4+/-0.79;Qp/Qs in type 3=5.1+/-1.37). 3) Qp/Qs was not different between type 1A and 1B (Qp/Qs in type 1A=2.3+/-0.28;Qp/Qs in type 1B=2.3+/-0.39) and between type 2A and 2B (Qr/Qs in type 2A=2.20+/-0.80; Qp/Qs in type 2B=3.7+/-0.76). 4) Tyep 2 in SISm predicts Qp/Qs> or =2.5(sensitivity=87.5%;specificity=100%;accuracy=90%), and type 3 in SiSm predicts Qp/Qs> or =4.0(sensitivity=40;specificity=100%;accuracy=80%). In conclusion, the pattern of the systolic interventricular septal motion (SISM) in the M-mode echocardiogram may be useful for the semiquantitative assessment of the pulmonic to systemic flow ratio (Qp/Qs) in cases with secundum atrial septal defect.
