Pancreatic islet cell adenoma is a benign tumor of pancreatic beta-cell and a rare cause of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in children. The authors experienced a case of pancreatic islet cell adenoma(Insulinoma)in a 11 year and 8 month old male who had frequent loss of consciousness and seizure. Enucleation was done after localization of tumor by selective celiac artery angiography and abdominal computed tomography. Diagnosis was confirmed by histologic findings as pancreatic-adenoma, gyriform growth pattern. A brief review of related literature was made.

A poroma is usually described as a benign neoplasm arising from ductal epithelium of eccrine gland. However, in recent years there have been several reports on poromas featuring with combined sebaceous, follicular, and ductal differentiation, and thus establishment of this separate disease entity, "apocrine poroma" may well be justified considering the common embryologic origin of folliculosebaceous-apocrine unit. In our case, the tumor presented as a dark red nodule on the pubic area, being revealed as poroid neoplasm with folliculosebaceous components embedded in the lobules. Immunohistochemically, poroid cells stained with lysozyme. Taking the immunohistochemical staining results as well as the histopathologic findings of folliculosebaceous differentiation into consideration, we have concluded that this tumor is a case of an "apocrine poroma".

Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis(NLCS) is a rare nevoid anomaly characterized by ectopic adipose tissue in the dermis. In this disease, two clinical types are distinguished: the classical type consisting of grouped papules and nodules, which are distributed linearly over the buttocks or upper thighs, and solitary type consisting of solitary pedunculated or dome-shape nodule without predilection. The solitary type is much rarer than the classical type. Unlike the classical type, the solitary type, especially on the forehead, is often mistaken for another type of benign tumor such as a lipoma. The author experienced a case of solitary NLCS, a 56-year-old female who had flesh, soft and edematous plaque on the forehead with soft surface during 13 months. Histological examination showed ectopic mature adipocytes in the dermis. The lesion was treated by surgical excision.

The appendiceal mucocele is very rare disease of 0.2% incidence. About 24% of patients are asymptomatic and symptomatic patients present with pain in the right lower quadrant of abdomen in 64%, plapable maas in the right lower quadrant of abdomen in 50%, and rarely, melena, hematochezia, anemia, diarrhea, malaise, and abdominal distension. The gastrointestinal bleeding may be presented in the patient with intussusception, but the massive bleeding is generally absent. We report a case of appendiceal mucocele accompanying with gastrointestinal bleeding and review of literature.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a extrapyramidal movement disorder characterized by rigidity and bradykinesia. PD is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders, affecting 1% of the population over the age of 60. Dementia is common and affects 40% of patients with PD during the course of the disease, the risk for the development of dementia being 6 times higher than in age-matched general population. In addition to motor abnormalities, there are several non-motor signs and symptoms that may create a considerable burden for patients and caregivers. Parkinsonism is a major feature of several dementing diseases. The parkinsonian disorders with dementia are Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD), parkinsonian-plus syndromes, sepcific heredodegenerative diseases, and secondary parkinsonisms. The parkinsonian-plus syndromes are neurodegenerative disorders charaterized by parkinsonism and at least one other nonparkinsonian neurological manfestation. This brief review concentrates on those disorders in which cognitive impairment/dementia and parkinsonism coexist: Parkinson's disease dementia, progressive supranuclear palsy, and corticobasal degeneration. The clinical and neuropsychological similarities and differences in these disorders are compared and contrasted along with Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and dementia of Lewy bodies, highlighting the features critical for identifying the correct diagnosis.
