A 51-year-old man had small, tender, skin colored firm nodule on the helix of the both ears for eight months. He was found to have classic features of chondrodermatitis nodularis chronica helicis, namely, tender nodule less than 1 cm in length with central crusting, localization to helix, age, men, and histologic findings. The histologic examination of the biopsy specimen showed the presence of thinned epiderrnis on center. acanthosis on the adjacent epidermis, with hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis, and cleft between epidermis and dermis. In the dermis, highly vascularized connective tissue and chronic inflarnmatory infiltrate were visible with perichondrial fibrosis. Elastic tissue stain showed degeneration of elastic fibers. After complete excision, no recurrence was obsered until now.

Acute suppurative thyroiditis is uncommon in children. The relative rarity of thyroid infection is thought to reflect its complete fibrous encapsulation, generous vascular and lymphatic supply and high local iodine level. The bacterial involvement include the normal oropharyngeal microflora, and broad spectrum antibiotic therapy including anaerobic coverage should be utilized initially. We have experienced three cases of acute suppurative throiditis. All of them had painfull swelling on anterior cervical area and diagnosed by clinical and radiological features. Since two of them occured repeatedly, we report with brief review of literatures.

A 51-year-old female had disseminated, symmetrically distributed, brownish black pigmentation and papillary hypertrophy on the intertriginous and flexural areas for 6 months, and gastric adenocarcinoma was confirmed during the evaluation of internal malignancy, The cutaneous finding of acanthosis nigricans was a significant cutaneous marker of internal malignancy in this case.

One patient is a 6-year old female, who has had intensely pruritic linear papuloplaque.", on the left side of the perineal and perianal areas for three years. The other patient, is a. 23-year old male, who has had iritensely pruritic linear papuloplagues on the left upper extremity. This condition started at 1 month of life. In both cases, microscopie examination of the lesions showed psoriasiform and eczematoid appearance. In the latter case, spongioform pustule and Munro's microabscess were also found. We believe that these cases probably represent instances of the entity that. Altman and Mehregan have called inflammatory linear verrueous epidermal nevus, and unusual clinical feature in our patients was the involvement of the left groin in case 1 and of the left upper extremity in case II, which are somewhat rare sites of involvement.

Zinc sulfate, which was used as zinc sulfate ophthalmic solution in herpetic keratitis, has been found to have the therapeutic effects in cutaneous and mucosal herpes simplex. We studied ta evaluate the therapeutic effect of zinc sulfate in patients with herpes simplex. Nine patients with primary herpes simplex and twenty five patient with recurrent herpes simplex were included in this study. Twenty five patients(six with primary type and nineteen with recurrent type were treated with topical applicatiion of 0.3% zinc sulfate solutiion seven to eight times a day and nine patients(three with primary type and six with recurrent type)were applied with placebo vehicle in the same way. Maintenance treatment was then given tc all these patients, first once a week for one month, and then twice a month indefinitely. The effect was assessed by the comparison of the duration of disappearance of symptoms, drying of vesicles and crust formation, and desiccation and sloughing-off of cursts, and recurrence rate between zine sulfat,e group and placebo group. The resuilts were summarized as follows : 1. In the average time of the disappearance of symptoms, drying of vesicles and crust formation, a,nd desiccation and sloughing-off of crusts, the resu1t observecl in zinc, sulfate group was shorter than that of placebo group, respectively ( p < 0.01). 2. In recurrence rate, 11.1% observed in zinc sulfate group was much lower than 80.0%i in placebo group(p . 0.01). These findings suggest that topical zinc sulfate is an effective agent for treatment and prevention of recurrence af herpes simplex infection.

We presented a case of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome(ED syndrome) in s 21-year- old male, who had hyperextensibility of skin, skin fragility, and cigarette paperlike atrophic scars with no joint problems since infancy. There was a family history which was suggestive of autosomal dominant trait. Microscopic examination of the skin biopsy specimen from the normal appearing skin on the right forearm showed no abnormal appearance. In this case the manifestations of skin including marked hyperextensibility might be in accord with type I (gravis) ED syndrome, but the joint manifestation did not correspond to this type. It might be hard to classify this case according to the eleven types of ED syndrome. Wed rather consider this case as a. mixed form of type I and type Il ED syndrome.

Journal of the Korean Pediatric Society 1994;37(6):740-745
Hyperglycemia is a well-recognized side effect of L-asparaginase in remission induction therapy of acute lymphocytic leukemia. Since hyperglycemia has preceded fatal diabetic ketoacidosis or hyperosmotic nonketotic coma in some patients, early detection and treatment of this complication are important. We determined retrospectively the risk of hyperglycemia in 117 patients with leukemia who had received L-asparaginase (& prednisolone). The results were as follows: 1) Twenty (17%) of the 117 patients developed hyperglycemia. 2) Of 47 female patients, 13 developed hyperglycemia, contrast with only 7 of 70 male patients(P<0.05). 3) All 2 obese patients developed hyperglycemia, contrast with 18 of 115 non obese patients (P<0.05). 4) Of 16 patients with a history of previous administration of L-asparaginase 6 (42%) developed hyperglycemia, contrast with only 14 (11%) of the remaining 101 patients (P<0.05). 5) Of the remaining factors analyzed-age, leukocyte counts, family history, dose of L-asparaginase-non had a statistically important influence on the development of hyperglycemia. 6) The mean glucose concentration at onset was 355+/-197.5mg/dl in patient who developed hyperglycemia with peak concentration of 404+/-253.6mg/dl. Hyperglycemia developed between 3 to 20 days after administration of L-asparaginase, and the duration of hyperglycemia was 6.90+/-5.54 days. Since hyperglycemia developed inevitably in a certain proportion of patients given L-asparaginase, we recommend blood glucose monitoring in patients with the risk factors.

Background: Brain MRI may unexpectedly display abnormalities in splenium of the corpus callosum
(SCC). However, the clinical implications of this lesion are unclear and are not always consistent
with ischemic infarctions. We performed this study to clarify the clinical and radiological implications
in patients with SCC lesions. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients with MRIreported
SCC changes between 2009 and 2012. We analyzed clinical and radiological findings,
etiologies, cognitive impairment, and clinical outcomes. Results: We found 30 patients (16 females;
mean 50.5 years) who had SCC lesions on MRI. Confusion was the most common clinical finding
in 50% of cases. Cerebral infarction was the most common etiology (50%). The most consistent
SCC changes on MRI were low signal in T1WI, high signal on T2WI and FLAIR, and high signal
on DWI. We classified SCC lesions into in situ SCC lesions (SCC only) and multiple (SCC plus)
lesions for patients with multiple lesions. The clinical symptoms of SCC only lesions were relatively
mild. Cognitive functions were evaluated by Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and clinical
dementia rating (CDR) scale at the time of discharge and patients with SCC only lesions showed less
impaired cognition compared with those with SCC plus lesions. Clinical outcomes were evaluated
by the modified Rankin scale at 1 month and patients with SCC only lesions revealed good clinical
outcomes compared with those with SCC plus lesions.
Conclusions: MRI-reported SCC lesions may have heterogeneous etiologies and present with various
symptoms. The clinical course and outcome are relatively good, particularly in small isolated and
oval shaped SCC lesions.
