The clinical studies were made on 40 cases of malignant cutaneous tumors who visited to Department of Dermatology, Kyungpook National University Hospital during last 6 years from 1967 to 1972. 1) Among 40 cases, 23 were squamous cell carcinomas, 10 basal cell carcinonias, two mycosis fungoides, one Hodgkins disease, one malignant melanoma, one angiosarcoma, one fibrosarcoma, and one metastatic adenocarclonoma. 2) The patient with malignant tumors were increasing by the year, being 0.06% of total out patients in 1967 but increased to 0.64% by 1971. 3) Squamous cell carcinomas were seen above the age 30 but basal cell carcinomas were seen above the age 40. Mycosis fungoides and malignant melanoma were seen in 20th of age, while Hodgkins disease, angiosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, and metastatic adenocarcinoma were seen in 50th of age. 4) The ratio of squamous cell carcinoma to basal cell carcinoma was 2.3:1, contrary to higher incidence of basal cell carcinoma than squamous cell carcinoma among caucasians. 5) Among 23 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 7 cases were derived from Bowens disease, 4 cases were from chronic burn scar, two from senile keratosis, one from tropic ulcer, and remaining 9 were not able to elucidate its cause. 6) The predilection sites of squamous cell carcinoma were four extremities particulary on lower extremities, while basal cell carcinomas were on the face predominantly. 7) Among 10 cases of basal cell carcinomas, 8 cases were ulcerative form and the rest of two were nodular form. 6 cases showed dark pigmentation in the lesions sugge stive of pigmented basal cell carcinoma but only 3 of them were proved to be true pigmented form histologically. 6 cases showed solid type of basal cell carcinoma and 2 showed pigmented type among 8 cases of ulcerative form. Those two cases of nodular form, one showed pigmented type and the other adenocystic type histologically.

Two cases of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome were presented and its literatures were reviewed. The patients were 25 year old male farmer and 38 year old housewife. Both had hypertrophy, port-wine nevus, and varicosities in case 1, on left lower extremity since birth. The length and cirumference of the affected leg were longer than the other side, and X-ray showed osteohypertrophy of tibia of the involved leg,

Angiosarcoma is rare disease not only in Korea but throughout the world; it is all the more so on the skin. We made an observation on a case of angiosarcoma on the scalp of a 57 year-old man. Noteworthy in this case are: (1) the patient was suffered from a head trauma 6 years prior to onset of the disease, (2) the progress of the disease showed an extreme rapidity accompanied by severe headache intolerable by any medication, (3) no effect was resulted from X-ray irradiation, and (4) the patient survived for 7 months with the disease.

The aim of this study was to examine the factors influencing perceived oral health in elderly individuals residing in the community.

Letterer-Siwe disease occurred in a 3 year 7 month old male child showing severe emaciation, hepatosplenomegaly, otitis media, hemorrhagic and impetiginous crusted patches on the body, and seborrheic dermatitis like skin rashes in the scalp. Also showed are severe anemia, thrombocytopenia, bronchopneumonia and multiple bony defects in skull. The child expired in a month after admission.

A 49-year-old woman with anemia who developed headache and seizure after blood transfusion was diagnosed with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). Magnetic resonance imaging showed typical PRES findings including lesions in bilateral parieto-occipital subcortical white matter and overlying cortex. Only a few cases of PRES after transfusion have been reported and this case is unique in that there was a latent period between infusion and development of PRES. We postulate that rapid change of hemoglobin level may disrupt cerebral autoregulation and result in delayed PRES. We suggest that neurological symptoms after blood transfusion should be appropriately investigated.

To analyzed the progression of white matter maturation and white matter pathology, MR imaging of the brain was obtained in 38 children with delayed development. Children with developmental delay showed a high incidence of MR abnormalities(34/38, 89.5%). Delayed pattern of myelination and gray-white matter differentiation was seen in 13 patients. Twenty-two patients had white matter patholgy, including 14 with white matter hypoplasia, seven with focal small infarction, five with periventricular leukomalacia, and three with high signal intensities on T2 weighted image. Associated structural abnormalities were also evaluated. The most common lesions in decreasing frequency were cerebral atrophy and dysgenesis of the corpus callosum, pachygyria and/or polymicrogyria, porencephalic cyst and Leigh's disease. Twenty-three of 34 children had multiple abnormalities on MRI. The MRI was useful in depicting the progression of myelination and other white matter lesions, and serial follow-up MR is recommended for patients with delayed or lack of myelination and gray-white matter differentiation.
