Traumatic epidermoid cysts are rare tumors occuring almost exclusively on the palms, palmar aspects of fingers, and soles. These cysts are thought to originate from a bit of epidermis implanted into the dermis after a penetrating or blunt wound. We report a case of typical traumatic epidermoid cyst on the sole of the right foot of a 23-year-old male student. The lesion was a coin-sized, tender, fluctuating cystic mass occuring 3 years after a penetrating wound by an iron nail. Histopathlogical examination revealed a deep dermal cyst lined by a thick, flattened, keratinizing wall with partial disruption accompanied by foreign-body reaction.

BACKGROUND: CD44 is a family of glycoproteins involved in cell to cell and cell to matrix interactions. Overexpression of CD44v6(variant exon 6) form has been reported in several malignant tumors such as stomach cancer, uterine cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer and keratinocytic skin tumors, such as, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. However, CD44 expression in cutaneous T cell lymphoma has not been investigated thoroughly. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to examine whether there is any difference in the expression of CD44s & CD44v6 between mycosis fungoides(MF), angiocentric T cell lymphoma, subcutaneous panniculitic T cell lymphoma, Ki lymphoma and unspecified peripheral T cell lymphoma. We also evaluated the statistical significance between the expression of CD44v6 and systemic involvement of the diseases. METHODS: Routine paraffin sections of formalin-fixed 33 tissues (11 MF, 8 angiocentric T cell lymphoma, 5 subcutaneous panniculitic T cell lymphoma, 2 Ki lymphoma, 1 unspecified peripheral T cell lymphoma, 2 psoriasis, 2 lichen planus, 2 erythema nodosum) were labeled with anti-CD44 monoclonal antibody using a avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex. Normal skin served as the negative control. RESULTS: 1. Eccrine glands, hair follicles and the epidermis, except the cornified layer, showed positive staining for CD44s. In inflammatory skin diseases, it showed positive staining for CD44s, however CD44v4/5 and CD44v6 stainings were negative. 2. All(4 out of 4) of the tumor stages of MF showed positive CD44s staining, and 3 out of 4 showed positive CD44v6 staining(p=0.024). However, none of them expressed CD44v4/5. 3. All 8 cases of angiocentric T cell lymphoma were positively stained for CD44s, but not for CD44v4/5. In contrast to other peripheral T cell lymphoma, CD44v6 was expressed in 3 out of 8 cases of angiocentric T cell lymphoma. In subcutaneous T cell lymphoma, only the CD44s was expressed, and Ki lymphoma was positively stained for CD44s and negatively stained for CD44v4/5 and CD44v6. 4. In CD44v6 positive angiocentric T cell lymphoma (3 out of 8) and CD44v6 positive tumor stages of MF (3 out of 4), 5 out of 6 patients had systemic involvement suggesting a statistical significance between CD44v6 expression and patient's systemic involvement(p=0.015). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that CD44v6 may serve as a useful prognostic marker in the tumor stage of mycosis fungoides and angiocentric T cell lymphomas.

PURPOSE: Epilepsy is generally defined as a chronic condition characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizure. It is still controversial whether the long-term antiepileptic drugs(AED) treatment will be necessary in children with first unprovoked seizure. Cognitive and behavioral side effects of AEDs are especially important in developing children. Therefore the rationale of AED treatment in the children with first unprovoked seizure depends upon the seizure recurrence rate and presence of risk factors related with seizure recurrence. We are going to evaluate the risk of seizure recurrence and risk factors after a first unprovoked seizure in children. METHODS: One hundred fifty eight patients presented with a first unprovoked seizure from July, 1994 to June, 1999 were prospectively followed by regular epilepsy clinic visit or telephone interview for a mean of 27 months. We analyzed overall recurrence risk and risk factors of seizure recurrence(EEG finding, etiology of seizure, seizure type, history of prior febrile convulsions, neurodevelopmental status prior to first seizure, presence of a Todd's paresis, family history of seizures, a seizure occuring while asleep, and duration of seizure) by Cox's proportional hazards model and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. RESULTS: In 158 patients with first unprovoked seizure, 61 (39%) patients experienced subsequent seizure. The cumulative risk of seizure recurrence was 28.5, 37.6, and 42.3% at 6, 12, and 18 months. The median time to recurrence was 3 months, with 72% of recurrence occurring within 6 months, 92% within 1 year, and 100% within 2 years. On univariate analysis, risk factors for seizure recurrence included an etiology of seizure and abnormal EEG. In idiopathic cases, the risk factor was an EEG abnormality. CONCLUSION: Many of the children with a first unprovoked seizure will not have recurrences. The recurrence risk of a first unprovoked seizure in children have statistically correlated with the etiology of seizure(cryptogenic and symptomatic) and abnormal EEG. Children with an idiopathic first seizure and a normal EEG have a particularly favorable prognosis.
