We report a case of hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola occuing in 33 year old woman. She did not have a history of endocriruipathy, horrnonal therapy and other ceatoses, so this case seems to be the nevoid form by Levy-Franckel classification. Interestingly, however the lesion which had developed before marriage suddenly aggr avated during pregnancy. This may be a unique feature which has not been reported elsewhere. Histapathologic findings are compatible with breviously reported eases. There was no response to topical steroid and retinoic acid treatrnent.

The pelvis is a ring structure with strong ligamentous support. This support includes the symphysis pubis, the anterior and posterior sacroiliac ligaments, and the strong sacrospinous and sacrotuberous ligaments. Since the pelvis is a ring, disruption of any protion of the ring is always associated with disruption in another portion of the ring. Massive pelvic disruption is an important and often life threathening injury. It is usually due to a motor vehicle accident, a fall from a height, industrial injury, and so on. The authors reviewed 28 cases of unstable pelvic fracture treated at the orthopaedic department of Catholic Medical Center during the period from January 1975 to December 1980, and the injury was classified according to the Pennal and Tiles method, and analyzed the clinical data as to the cause of mechanical violence, type of fracture and treatment, post-traumatic pelvic instabilities, and the results. The persistant post-traumatic pelvic instability was assessed by physical examination, and Chamberlain and Trostlers stress Roentgen view of the pelvis. The clinical results obtained were as follows: 1. The incidence of the unstable pelvic fracture was 17.7% (28) of all pelvic fractures (158). The incidence of injury in male was approximately 5 times more frequent than female, and most of the patients were in the 3rd to 5th decade of their life. The causes of injury were road accident (54%), coal mine accident and fall from a height in orders. 2. The four-rami fracture with posterior disruption due to the lateral compression injury was the most common type of unstable pelvic fractures. 3. In conservatively treated patients, the pelvic instability persisted in 37.5% (6 in 16 cases) of the cases and all of them necessitated the joint stabilizing operation. Twelve cases were treated operatively. Among them, performed operations include wiring of symphysis pubis in 2 and sacroiliac joint fusion in 4 within 4 weeks after injury. But for the other 6 cases in which pelvic instability persisted in spite of the sufficient conservative treatment, sacroiliac joint fusion or sacroiliac joint fusion together with a symphyseal plate fixation were done. 4. Satisfactory results was obtained in 62.51% (10 in 16 cases) of nonoperated cases, and 91.7% (11 in 12 cases) of operated group. Authors consider that the most important step in the management of traumatic pelvic instability are; firstly the early recognition of the correlation of the fracture-fragments; the fracture mechanism, and the possible presence or the post-traumatic pelvic instability, and secondly finalizing the therapeutic plan. Early surgical stabilization of the duration of the treatment and the residual disability.

Hydroa vacciniforme is a very rare photosensitivity disorder. The primary skin lesion is a vesicle or bulla which then heals with vacciniform scarring. We report a case of hydroa vacciniforme recurred after 3 years period of quiescence in a 20 year-old man who had had history of the disease from the age of two. The duplication of the natural lesion, clinically and histologically, was successfully made by artificial UV-A irradiation on the patient's back.

Specific cutaneous infiltrates in chronic lymphocytic leukemia(CLL) presenting as tumor and large nodule on face, scalp and upper trunk and involvement of oral mucsa is extremly rare. In 7% of cases, leukemic infiltrates of the skin precede the diagnosis of Leuke. We report herein leukemic macrocheilia which occured 3 years before a diagnosis of CLL.

We evaluate the effects of a calcium antagonist(nifedipine) and a xanthine oxidase inhibitor (allopurinol), drugs having a protective effect against shock wave induced renal dysfunction, on acute changes of renal function after piezoelectric ESWL. A total of 40 patients with renal stones undergoing piezoelectric ESWL with LT02 lithotriptor was randomly assigned to 4 groups. Group 1 received no medication and the others received nifedipine(group 2), allopurinol(group 3), and nifedipine plus allopurinol(group 4), respectively. NAG, LDH, 7-GTP, D2M, and microalbumin were measured in the 24-hour urine before and after ESWL. Baseline levels of these parameters were not statistically different between the control group and the others. After ESWL, NAG and microalbumin were significantly increased in group l(p<0.01). In groups 2 and 4, all of the parameters after ESWL were not significantly different from the Values before ESWL. Although the level of NAG after ESWL was significantly higher(p<0.01) than that of the pre-ESWL in group 3, the change of NAG was milder in group 3 comparing to group 1. The range of increase of NAG in groups 2 and 4 were significantly low(<0.01) compared to group 1, and the range of increase of microalbumin in groups 2, 3, 4 were significantly low compared to group l(group 2, 4; p<0.01, group 3; p<0.05). Our results indicate that nifedipine and/or allopurinol can prevent or decrease acute changes of renal function after ESWL using LT02 piezoelectric lithotriptor and especially nifedipine seems to be more efficient than allopurinol.
