1.A Case of Acquired Bilateral Nevus of Ota-like Macules.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1985;23(4):543-546
We present a case of acquired, bilateral nevus of Ota-like macules in 50-year-old women, She had deeply brownish, confluent or solitary macules and patches distributed symmetrically on the both side of the forehead and temple, since years ago. But there was no involvement (of ocular and oral mucosa. Histopathologic findings showed flattening of the rete ridges and elongated or irregular shaped melanocytes containing many melaiiin granules, in upper-and mid-dermis. And most of melanocytes showed positive reactions on Dopa stain.

2.A Case of Scrotal Calcinosis Originated from Trichilemmal Cyst.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1985;23(4):492-498
We experienced a case of scrotal calcinosis which was considered to be developed from the trichilemmal cysts of the scrotum. This 22 year-old male patient has been suffered from pea-sized hard muliple yellowish nodules of the scrotum since. about 5 years ago. Histopathologic findings revealed multiple cysts or calcium lumps surrounded by variable a.mounts of granulomatous inflammatory infiltrations in the dermis. The cysts were lined by stratified squamous epithelium without intercellular bridge and surrounded by scanty inflammatory cells. Several cysts contained homogenous keratinous material but most cysts contained calcium deposits within the homogenous keratinous materials or only the calcium lumps in the intact epithelial linings. Most of calcium lumps which had partially or completely disintegrated epithelial linings were surrounded by active granulomatous inflammatory infiltrations and a few calrium lumps with completely disintegrated epithelial linings had no surrounding inflammatory cells. Observing the above histopathologic features, we could consider that this case of scrotal calcinosis was developed from the scrotal trichilemmal cyst and some cases of idiopathic scrotal calcinosis, previousely reported, were the end stage of the above process.

A case of cutaneous cartilaginous tumor was diagnosed from solitary nadular skin lesion on a toe of 59-year old female. Lack of information about cartilage tumors in the dermatologic literature suggest that they rarely develop as supeficial lesions. General clinico-pathologic feature of the tumor is reviewed.

4.A Clinical and Histopathologic Study on Skin Tuberculosis.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1985;23(3):321-330
A clinical and histopathologic study was done on 48 cases of cutaneous tuberculosis among 43, 209 out-patients in Dermatologic department of Korea t.Jniversity Hospital during the period of 15 years and 9 mont4s from January, 1969 to September, 1984. These 48 cases were consistent with skin tuberculosis in histologic and clinicalI finc1ings, The result were summarized as follows: ]. The incidence of skin tuberculosis was 0 I 1 g among 43, 209 cases of outpatients. 2. Localized type of skin tuberculosis was 3. 2 times more frequent than disseminated type. Frequent skin tuberculosis was lupus vulgaris (57 3%), erythema induratum (12, 5%), tuberculosis verrucosa cutis(8.3%) and lupus milaris disseminatus faciei (8. 3%). 4, The ratio between male and fenmle was 1: l. 1. 5 The ages of onset were variable according to the types of skin tuberculosis. but 45 8% of all cases developed in the age group between 10 and 29 years. Seasonal incidences of skin tuberculosis were 52. 1% in spring, 85%, in winter, 18. 8% in summer, 4, 2%, in autumn. 7 In histopathologic findings, there were tubercle or tubrculoid structures in all cases and typical tubercle structures were observed in 18.8% The ratio of accordance between the histopathologic diagnosis and clinicopa thologic diagnosis was 81.3%.

The injection of paraffin for cosmetic purpose is an illegal method as it evokes late complications such as the development of grauuloma, migration of foreign body, inflammation, ulceration, embolic phenomenon, etc. However, paraffin has been used by some unauthorized people for the augmentation of the soft tissue, i.e. face, breasts, as they can easily reansform the body contour in a short time and paraffin is not expensive to do so. Paraffinoma has been reported frequently as a delayed or late complication of foreign body reaction in the field of plastic surgery. And various mehtods of its surgical treatment also has been a topic of plastic surgeon, as postoperative outcome is not satisfactory. As the nose is located at the center of face, the patients who are suffering from paraffinoma in nose could not conceal their deformed appearance by cosmetics. Therefore the only method of improvement is surgical removal of paraffinoma. Paraffinoma of nose has been removed by transcolumellar, infracartilaginous, intercartilaginous incision. However, complete removal of the foreign material does not seem to be possible, may leave complications such as hematoma and overlying skin necrosis, and the remaining foreign material does not permit symmetric appearance. We experienced excision of paraffinoma by direct incision on nasal dorsum. 3 patients with paraffinoma of nose were successfully treated without any complications by vertical elliptical excision on the dorsum of the nose, and scars on nasal dorsum were acceptable with satisfaction by patients. Therefore, the authors concluded that excision of paraffinoma by direct incision on nasal dorsum is a good method for symmetric resection of foreign material, low risk of complication.

A nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was applied to detect and identify pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis. We used photochemical postamplification procedure with 8-methoxypsoralen to control carryover contamination. Using the ail and inv gene, the sensitivity and specificity of DNA amplification by nested PCR was considerably improved. The amplified fragment sizes were 298 bp for the ail gene and 295 bp for the inv gene. Amplification was successful when the template was derived from three sources: purified DNA, aliquots of boiled bacterial suspension and aliquots of lysed bacterial suspension. The detection limits were 10 fg of DNA and 2 * 10 colony forming units (CFU) for Y. enterocolitica and 10 fg DNA and 2 CFU for Y. pseudotuberculosis.
