We present two cases of pseudocyst of auricle which occured in 59-year-old man and 21-year-old man. Each showed bean sized non-inflammatory cystic swelling of upper part of right auricle with slight tenderness and the cystic content was serosanguinous fluid. Cystic wall was composed of fibrovascular tissue replacing degenerated cartilage without lining epithelium.

This clinical study is based on review of records of 87 patients with postoperative adhesive intestinal obstruction who were managed at the Department of Surgery of Dongbu City Hospital during 5 years from September, 1992 to August, 1997. The results of study were as follows: 1) The most prevalent age group was 5th decade(44.8%) and male to female ratio was 1.7:1. 2) The previous operations were operation for appendicitis(32.2%), operations for peritonitis due to peptic ulcer perforation(24.1%), gynecologic operations(13.8%), operation for gastric malignancy(8.1%). 3) The mean value of duration between previous operations and postoperative adhsive intestinal obstruction was 36 months and the mean value of duration of symptoms was two days. 4) 42(49.2%) of 87 patients were admitted under 24 hours after onset of symptoms. 5) The chief complaints on admission were abdominal pain(98.8%), vomiting(81.6%), abdominal distension(78.2%), failure to flatus(55.2%). 6) 23 cases(45.1%) of 51 cases having one or more abnormal physical and laboratory finding(fever, abdominal tenderness, abscence of defecation or gas out, or leukocytosis) were operated, and 5 cases(13.9%) of 36 cases having no physical finding were operated (p value < 0.05). 7) Emergency operation was performed in 9 cases, elective operation was performed in 19 cases which had deteriorating clinical course despite of conservative management for 48 hours, and conservative treatement was performed in 59 cases. 8) The postoperative complications were observed in 6 cases and the most common complication was wound infection(14.3%). In conclusions, The longer symptom duration and the longer interval between previous operation and onset of symptoms, the higer probability of surgical treatment is expected. The need for surgical treatment was increased acording the number of physical and laboratory findings(fever, abdominal tenderness, abscence of defecation or gas out, or leukocytosis). For the cases which have unimproving and deteriorating clinical course despite of conservative management for 72 hours, surgical operation shoud be considered.

Korean Journal of Dermatology 1981;19(2):167-174
The serum level of immunoglobulin E (IgE) in 28 atopic patients and 41 healthy, normal, non-allergic subjects were measured by standard radial immunodiffusion method (RIDT). The correlation between IgE level and clinical manifestations are studied. The results are as follows. 1) IgE value was higher in atopic dermatitis than normal subjects. 2) IgE value in atopie dermatitis revealed no sigaificant difference between in male and in female. 3) IgE value was increased parallel with the severity of the disease. 4) IgE value was not correlated with the extent of disease. 5) IgE value was not correlated with the duration of disease. 6) IgE value was not correlated with the age of onset. 7) IgE value was not correlated with the eosinophil count of peripheral blood.

Serum zinc is an essential element in men and animals. Recently on the dermatologic fields, the serum and the skin levels and the roles of zinc have been studied especially in acne vulgaris, but the results were controversial. So to confirm the previous reports and for evaluation of the relationship between the various aspects of acne vulgaris and the serum levels of zinc, the serum levels of zinc were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometer in 13 healthy controls and 46 patients with acne vulgaris. In the healthy controls, their mean values of zinc were 0.843+0.251 ppm in total, 0.920+0.219 ppm, in females and 0.777+0.260 ppm in males. There was no statistical difference attributable to sex. In the 46 patients with acne vulgaris, their mean value of zinc was 0.741+0.195 ppm. There was no significant difference in the mean serum zinc level compared with the controls. In the males with acne, the mean va1ue of zinc was 0.727+0.166 ppm, and 0.748+0.208 ppm in females with acne. There was no significant statistical difference between males and females with acne. And females, but not males, with acne had significantly lower serum zinc levelss than controls of the corresponding sex. (p<0.1) By clinical severity, classifying the 46 patients with acne vulgaris into three groups: mild type (only comedones), moderate type (comedones with pa.pules) and severe type (includes pustules, comedones, and papules, etc.), the serum zinc levels of each group were 0.774+0.185 ppm, 0.7880. 200 ppm and 0.666+0.176 ppm. The significant statistical difference was found only in the severe type of acne compared with the healthy controls (p<0.05). Also classifying the patients into three groups (acute, moderate and chronic types of acne) by duration of acne, the serum values of zinc were 0.738+0.158 ppm, 0.692+0.283 ppm and 0.769+0.241 ppm, respectively. Only in the moderate type of acne, the mean serum level of zinc was significantly reduced compared with the control group (p<0.1)

We observed a case of tuberculosis cutis orificialis, which occurred in 50 year-old man. He had been suffered from single markedly inflamed, erythematous painful ulcer, covered by dirty brown pseudomembranous material, around anus for 3 months. The laboratory findings (CBC, routine urinalysis, stool ova and parasite with occult blood) are within normal limits except elevated ESR (52mm/hr.). Staphyloeoccus aureus and proteus are observed on wound culture, and many AFB are seen on scrapings of wound but not on sputum for 3 times. Unfortunately culture was not done. Tuberculin skin test revealed strong reaction (36mm/hr.). Chest PA and small bowel series showed far advanced pulmonary tuberculosis and intestinal tuberculosis on ileocecal area. But the findings of upper gastro-intestinal series and barium enema are within normal limits. Histopathologic findings of skin lesion showed tuberculous and tuberculoid granuloma in the deep dermis and subcutaneous tissue.

Treatment with INH, myambutol and rifampin resulted in some improvment on the chest and considerable improvement on the skin and intestine within 6 months.

10.Computerized Tomogram (C.T.) & Ultrasonographic Study on Metastatic Tracing of Malignat Melanoma.

Melanoma is relatvely uncommon malignant tumor arising in the skin from epidermal melanocytes, from the junctional component of a cellular nevus or, rarely within a blue nevus and frequently metastasizes to regional lymph nodes first, followed by hematogenous spread to lungs, liver, gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, adrenal, heart and brain. All melanoma patients are carefully evaluated according to several parameters. A complete history and physical examination are carried out, with particular attention being devoted to other pigmented tumors that the patient may have. The patient should be further evaluated to determine the presence or absence of metastases by chest X-ray examination, metastatic series or bone scan, liver function studies, liver scan, EKG, etc. Special factors such as age, sex, and race, as well as site, size, and growth rate of lesions are also evaluated. We had a case of 59 year-old male patient with disseminated malignant melanoma. Upon his first visit, we did not find any abnormality in his physical examination and routine laboratory findings except skin tumors on left heel and left leg.
