6 cases of nevus sebaceus of Jadassohn were reported and its literatures were reviewed. It is thought to be rather rare disease in this country. Two of the cases were seen within the age of 2 years and showed the clinical pictures of early stage. The remaining 4 cases were the clinical pictures of late stage showing verrucous lesions. All cases developed the lesions in the scaIp except case 6 which appeared on anterior neck. One of thc cases was associated with syringocystadenoma papilliferum but none of the cases show any association of basal cell carcinoma.

Although the reported number of malignant lymphoma of the thyroid has been increased, primary malignant lymphoma of the thyroid associated with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis has been sporadically reported since its first description by Graham in 1931. The apparent coexistence of these two conditions has undoubtedly been noted by other observers. And they suggested that malignant lymphoma of the thyroid might arise from the lymphoid tissue ina wide variety of preexisting thyroidal disease. This report was made to record a case of primary thyroid lymphoma recently seen in this department with special emphasis on the associated thyroiditic changes in the uninvolved portion of the gland, which suggest the antecedent presence of chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis.

We studied the expressions of E-cadherin, MMP-7 and CD44V in colorectal cancer and their corresponding normal mucosa using RT-PCR. From the 26 patients whom a com parative study of clinical and histopathological data is available, MMP-7 and CD44V were significantly enhanced in cancer and their metastatic tissues, compared with their normal mucosa. E-cadherin did not reveal any difference between cancer and normal mucosa. The relashionship between these genes and colorectal cancer development can not be confirmed by this study, however CD44v and MMP-7 may be associated with metastasis of colorectal cancer.

The cement-free hip prosthesis coated with hydroxyapatite was developed to obtain primary firm fixation by an enhanced anatomic design and secondary biologic stable fixation by hydroxyapatite which is bioactive and has the same chemical and structural components with those of human bone tissue in total hip arthroplasty. Between January 1992 and June 1994, we used ABG cement free hip prosthesis (Anatomique Benoist Giraud, Howmedica Europe, Staines, England) in 28 hips (avascular necrosis of femoral head; 17, osteoarthritis; 6, posttraumatic arthritis; 3, rheumatoid arthritis; 2) of 25 patients in Pusan National University Hospital. Those cases had a minimum of two years and maximum of four years and five months (average three years and six months) of follow up, including analysis of the clinical and radiological data. The results were obtained as follows: 1. The average Modified Harris Hip Score increased from 51 points preoperatively to 96 points at last follow up. Almost all cases (97%) were excellent or good results in Modified Harris Hip Score. 2. In radiologic results, no migration of the cup, no change in the inclination of the cup, ar.d no oste-olysis around the cup and the stem were observed. Endosteal bone apposition around the cup was found in 54% of the cases and subcortical cancellous densification around the stem was found in 89%. This results indicate that we obtained direct and biologic firm fixation without fibrous tissue interposition between bone and metallic component by inducing on-growth of bone. 3. In the radiologic follow up according to the initial bone quality, it was demonstrated that the incidences of cortical hypertrophy, calcar resorption, and radiolucent line in type B and type C were higher than those in type A. The early clinical and radiological results of the cement-free hip prosthesis coated with hydroxyapatite are encouraging, although a longer follow up period is necessary.

Human Papillomaviruses(HPVs) are regarded as sexually transmitable and closely associated with precancerous lesions or invasive cancers of the vulva, vagina, and cer V1X. In situ hybridization, besides showing higher sensitivity, allowed the identification of specific viral types. We studied 12 cases of condylomata accuminata for HPV typing by in situ hybridization techenique. Ten cases(83.3 % ) showed positive for HPV type 6/11, and 2 cases(16.7% ) were positive for HPV type 16/18.
