BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Intracardiac electrocardiographic finding using as a guide for selective catheter ablation in patients with AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is not specific. Therefore, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of the anatomical approach for catheter ablation in patients with AVNRT. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Among the patients diagnosed as AVNRT by electrophysiologic study, total 66 patients (M:F=26:40) were included in this study. In the right anterior oblique radiographic view, the septal annulus of tricuspid valve, extending from the most posterior region of the annulus adjacent to coronary sinus ostium (posterior) to His bundle recording site (anterior), was divided into posterior (P), mid (M), and anterior (A) sites. Radiofrequency (RF) energies were applied from the posterior part to the anterior part sequentially along the septal annulus of tricuspid valve until successful ablation. RESULTS: Successful anatomical sites were located in posterior (11 patients), mid (48 patients), and anterior (7 patients) sites. The most patients (62 patients) were treated with slow pathway ablation except 4 patients in whom fast pathway was ablated. Probable slow potentials were observed in 8 patients (12%, 3 in posterior sites and 5 in mid sites). Transient complete AV block followed by first degree AV block and delayed complete AV block was occured in one case whose ablation site was A1. And another 3 patients had postablation first degree AV block. CONCLUSION: In patients with AVNRT, the ablated pathway were different according to successful anatomical site. And RF catheter ablation of atrioventricular nodal reentrant circuit guided by anatomical landmark is safe and efficacious.

The monoclonal antibody Ki-1(CD30) was first described in 1982 and was reported to react selectively with Reed-Sternberg cells in Hodgkins disease, highly activated B and T cells and large cell lymphomas of both T-and B-cell origin. Lymphomatoid papulosis(LyP) is characterized by recurrent erythematous papules or nodules that undergo spontaneous healing with hyperpigmentation and scarring. Histologically, two major types of LyP can be distinguished: type A is characterized by the presence of variable numbers of Ki-1+ large, atypical lymphocytes with some Reed-Sternberg like cells and type B is characterized by Ki-1- atypical cerebriform mononuclear cells similar to those in mycosis fungoides. We report a case of Ki-1+ lymphomatoid papulosis which was histopathologically recognized as a type B lesion but represented a Ki-1 positive reaction.

Kaposis sarcoma is a multicentric neoplastic vascular tumor involving the skin or internal organs. We report a case of classic Kaposis sarcoma in a 69-year-old male who had positive serum cytomegalovirus antibodies and disseminated multiple erythematous to purplish colored confluent papules and edema on both lower legs. The histopathological finding showed abnormally proliferated and dilated vessels, vascular spaces, spindle cells, and extravasated erythrocytes. He was treated with radiotherapy, but died due to ventricular tachycardia.

BACKGROUNDs: A retrospective study was performed to define objective radiologic parameters in diagnosing epiglottitis on soft-tissue lateral neck radiographic study. METHODS: Parameters of soft-tissue structures(epiglottis width, third vertebral body width, ratio of epiglottic width to third vertebral body width) in 30 adult patients compared with those of age and sex-matched controls with foreign body in throat whose radiographic reading was normal. RESULTS: Epiglottis width of more than 11mm, ratio of epiglottis width(EW) to the third vertebral body width(C3W) of more than 0.5 were, respectively, found to be 100% sensitive and specific in differentiating between patients with and without epiglottitis. CONCLUSION: These preliminary results suggest that EW/C3W ratio of more than 0.5, EW of more than 11mm, respectively, may be useful in the diagnosis of epiglottitis in adult patients.

Hailey-Hailey disease(benign familial chronic pemphigus) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by blisters at sites of friction such as the neck, axillae and groin which are caused by suprabasal epidermal acantholysis. We report two cases of Hailey-Hailey disease in the one family. One of the two cases has asymptomatic multiple longitudinal white bands in the fingernails associated with typical skin lesions. The nail lesions have not been described until reported by Burge in 1992 and it may be a characteristic finding in Hailey-Hailey disease.

We report two cases of recurrent extramarnmary Pagets disease after wide local excision. Both cases involved the scrotum and the penoserotal junction, respectively. On histopathological examination, we could observed many Paget cells confined to the epidermis and the hair follicle, but not invading the underlying dermis in both cases. There was no evidence of internal malignancy. Both cases were treated with wide local reexcision.
