Clinical analysis was done on 60 meniscus injuries operated on at Orthopaedic Department of Capital Armed Forces General Hospital from Mar. 1977 to Sept. 1978 with the following results. 1. All cases were military personel aged from 21 to 40, most of them 23 and 24 years old. 2. The fall down accident was the most common cause of injury mechanism. 3. The lateral meniscus was more frequently injured than the medial with 43:17, and the right side knee than left with a ratio of 35:25. 4. The posterior horn tear was the most common type of the injuries involved 23 cases (48.3%). 5. The complete healing after menisectomy ranged from 1 month to about 3 months. 6. It seems resonably certain that habit of exaggerated flexion of the knee in Korean is an important factor in the production of the lesion, combined possibly with medial ratation of the tibia, for subsequent episodes of the exaggerated flexion enlarge the rent untill the popliteus attachment and all peripheral attachments behind the hiatus are torn away, and the posterior half of the lateral meniscus is released from normal control.

A 72-year-old woman with a pea sized, bluish, firm nodule was diagnosed as having a cellular type of dermatofibroma histopathologically. A biopsy specimen revealed a relatively well circumscribed, non-encapsulated, nodular infiltration of irregularly distributed histiocytes in the deep dermis. Foam cells were also noted. Gomoris iron stain revealed large amounts of hemosiderin deposits and some collagen were present as individual fibers in the lesion with Masson's trichrome stain.

Generalized pustular psoriasis is a severe form of paoriasis and is frequently associated with arthritis and nail deformity. We present a case of generalized pustular psoriasis in a 40 year-old man, with nail change, arthritis of both knee and ankle joints, spondylitis, and glomerulonephritis. We found a positive results of HLA A-9, B-27 in this patient. Skin lesions, arthralgia and hematuria improved marked1y by plasmapheresis and application of topical corticostertoid.

Kaposi's sarcorna is a tumor-like condition which characterized by a mixed proliferation of fibroblastic components and vascular structures. The authors report a case of nodular type of Kaposis sarcoma in 54 year-old male who had an eroded hemorrhagic nodule and few papular lesions. These lesions involved only both hands and feet without systemic involvement.

We described a 65-year-old woman with a papule on the left temple area of } year duration. The lesion showed typical findings of atypical fibroxanthoma and was located on the lesion of solar keratosis, So sunlight may be the most important one among the various insults to atypical fibroxanthoma of the skin.

Cheilitis glandularis simplex, the clinical term first defined by Puente and Acevedo in 1935, is characterized by the development of hyperplastic mucous glands in the lips, associated with dilated ductal canals; it is manifested clinically by a usually painless swelling of the lips and a variably constant, bothersome, sticky mucoid discharge. Recently we have experienced a case of cheilitis glandularis simplex in a 13-year-old boy and an excellent cosmetic result was obtained after surgical excision and repair.

Filiform polyposis(FP), an unusual form of inflammatory polyposis, has been recently designated to a lesion characterized by multiple, long slender, finger-like projections of mucosa and submucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. We present 5 cases of FP, of which two were associated with irritable bowel syndrome, two with advanced colon carcinoma, and one with active ileotyphlitis(Behcet's disease). The polyps ranged from 1.0 cm to 3 cm; they were either isolated or aggregated, and their numbers were up to 100. The common microscopic feature was filiform polyps which consisted of central submucosal core covered by intact or minimally inflamed intestinal mucosa, comparable with that in reparative processes and formation of inflammatory(redundant) pseudopolyps. We conclude that awareness of FP in non-inflammatory bowel disease may promote the endoscopists to search its underlying disease and prevent unnecessary surgical procedure. Behcets enterocolitis in the ileocecal junction seems an additional preceding disorder of a localized form of FP.
