Statistical observation was made on 117 cases of malignant tumors in the urinary tract who had been admitted to Department of the Urology, St. Mary's Hospital from January 1, 1966 to May 31. 1972. Statistical observation included age, sex, clinical manifestation, annual distribution, organ distribution and methods of operation. The results were as follows; 1. Male patients were more common than female patients, and most of them were over the age of 40 years. Hematuria was the most common symptom, and other symptoms were pain, mass and dysuria. Operations were performed in 79 patients, and remaining patients were treated with radiation, chemotherapy and hormone therapy. 2. The urinary bladder was the most commonly involved organ, and other organs were in order of kidney, prostate and penis. Histologically, transitional cell carcinoma in the bladder was the most common and next in order was of renal cell carcinoma, Wilms' tumor and squamous cell carcinoma of penis.

This is an analysia of 126 cases(14.1%) of segmental vitiligo among 892 vitiligo patient who had visited vitiligo special clinie in Severance Hospital. The results are summarized as follow : 1. There were 53 males(42.1%) and 73 females(57.9%). 2. The mean age of onset was 15.4 years, the mean age on the first visit was 19.3 years, and mean duration of the disease was 4.8 years. 3. Mode of onset was single in 86.5% and the disease was table in 57.1% of patients at the visit. 4. The mean percentage of depigmented lesions was 3.3% and less than 5% of body surface area was involved in 86.5% of patients. 5. The most common site of involvement was head and necl(59.6%), especially face(43.7%) and the trigerminal dermatome was most commonly involved. 6. Poliosis was observed in 39.7%. 7. Family history of vitiligo was obtained in 11.1% of patients. There was no precipitating factors in 126 cases prior to development of vitiligo. 8. Koebner phenomenon was found in 4% of patients. 9. Association with diseases of a proven or suggested allergic or immunologic etiology including atopic dermatitis, halo nevus, uveitis, thyroid disease, lopecia areata and premature graying of hair was found in 10.3% of patients.

Ninety black C 57 BL mice were divided into control and photochemotherapy groups. Control group was subdivided into a UVA 1rradiation only subgroup and a khellin only administration subgroup, while the phototherapy group was subdivided into one TMP and two khellin administration subgroups with dosages of 1.5mg/kg, 5mg/kg and 20mg/kg, respectivly. UVA was administered three thimes a week in a dose of 4J/cm for 4 weeks. Skin biopsies were taken at 0, l, 2, 3 and 4 weeks and the split DOPA stain was employed to observe pigment production. The number, size and circumference of the melanocytes were assessed. In summary, our results inclicate that khellin, which is slightly less effective than TMP at the same effective dose, is quite effective for pigment production and the degree of the production is dose related.

Although nearly 100 cases of prurigo pigmentosa have been reported in Japan, there has been no report in Korea. Recently, we exporienced two cases of prurigo pigmentosa in Korean women of 27 and 20 years of age. Histopathological findings of reddish papules showed exocytosis, inter and intra-cellular edema in the epidermis, liquefaction degeneration of the basal cell layei and perivascular round cell infiltration in the dermis. The specimens from the pigmented lesions show merely incontinence of pigments and mild perivascular round cell infiltration. We treated two patients with oral antihistamines and topical corticosteroids. One patient showed complete regression after 8 months of treatment but the other patient was lost for follow up.

We present a case of carcinoma erysipelatoides which or iginated from an internal organ. The patient was a 50 year-old female who had peritoneal carcinomatosis, She presented an erythematous lesion resembling erysipelas on her right breast. Histopathologic findings were consistent with metastatic adenocarcinoma but clinically it was not associated with carcinoma of the breast.

Herein we report a 51-year-old male with angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy who had developed rnaculopapular eruptions after the administration of crystalline penicillin, acetylsalicylic acid and sulpyrine. Skin biopsy showed mild lyrnphohistiocytic infiltration and extravasated RBCs around the blood vessels in the upper dermis. He had run a progressively downhill course in spite of vigorous chemotherapy and ultimately died.

Paralytic hand is the ultimate result of permsnent damage of the central nervous system, failure of the functional repair of peripheral nerve injuries and extensive muscular or tendinous defect resulting in the impairment of hand function. There are a lot of controversies in the side of treatment methods in the paralytic hand, and it is very difficult to formulate the most adequate surgical reconstruction for a given pstient. At Depsrtment of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital, 66 cases oi paralytic hands in 62 patients have been treated surgically with tendon transfers for 7 years from Jan, 1980 to Dec, 1986. 49 case in 46 patients were followed up for more than one year, and surgical method and its results were anslysed. They consist of CNS lesion (17), peripheral nerve lesion(23) and musulotenidinous defect(9). The methods of surgical reconstruction were opponenesplasty(12), standard set extensor reconstruction(9), Green and Bsnks FCU transfer(11), intrinsic reconstruction(7), pronator rerouting(7), adductorplasty (5) and so on. The mean follow-up was 2.2 years, and in 38 cases good or excellent results were obtained.

We report a case of dilated pare of Winer occuring in a 33-year-oid female patient. Dilated pore belongs to adenoma or organoid group of benign hair differentiation tumors. The patient has had a giant comedone on the right submandibular area for 1 month. Histopathologic features revealed rnarkedly dilated pilar infundibulum lined by epidermis that is atrophic near the ostium but hypertrophic deeper in the cystic cavity. Three months after excisional biopsy, there was no recurrence.
