3.Study on the Blood Picture of Various Dermatoses.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1960;1(1):3-17
So far today the blood Picture of specific dermatoses such as leprosy, syphilis, skin tubercuIosis, pemphigus and eczema was studied a good many ways. Author has studied the blood picture especially red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, white blood cells and its differential counts in 217 cases of various skin diseases such as contact. dermatitis, urticaria, chronic eczema, atoPic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, erythema multiforme, erythemanodosum, drug eruption, prurigo, lichen urticatus, exfoliative dermatitis and purpura. At the same time liver function tests were performed in 46 cases including 25 cases of contact dermatitis, 6 cases of chronic eczema, 5 cases of atopic dermatitis, 5 cases of urticaria and 5 cases of exfolistive dermatitis. Afterwards the correlations of those two groups were investigated. Among all mentioned above dermatose except purpura no changes of red blood cells, hemogiobin and hematocrit were observed according to the authors own control of normal values which were obtained in 62 normal healthy adults. Other findings are as follows; 1. In contact dermatitis leucocytes and eosinophils are increased while neutrophils slightIy decreased. 2. Moderate increase of lymphocytes in urticaria. 3. In chronic eczema leucocytes and lymphocytes slightly increased but neutrophils somewhat decreased. 4. In atopic dermatitis leucocytes and eosinophils increased and there was also moderate increase of lyrnphocytes. 5. In seborreheic dermatitis monocytes and basophils were increased but eosinophils were slightly increased. 6. In erythema multiforme monocytes were decreased and leacocytes increased slightly. 7. In erythema nodosum neitrophils increased and lymphocytes and monocytes were decreased. 8. In drug eruption monocytes were decreased. 9. ln Prurigo eosinophils were increased. 10.:ln lichen uiticatus neutrophils were decreased. 11. In exfoliative dermatitis there are marked increase of leucocytes and eosinophils and decrease of neutrophiIs, lymphocytes and basophils. 12. In purpura red b!ood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit were decreased. The increase of white blood cells in contact dermatitis and exfoliative dermatitis almost paralleled with the extension of their lesions. Marked liver function disturbarces were found in a good many cases cf exfoliativedermatitis while slight degree of liver function disturbances were found in some cases of contact dermatitis and it was found that some cases of chronic eczema, urticaria and atopic dermatitis gave some influence to liver function. The fact of leucocytes increase in exfoliative dermatitis and contact dermatitis seems more or less go parallels with liver function disturbances.

4.Statistical Observation on Malignant Tumors of the Urinary Tract.
Korean Journal of Urology 1974;15(2):115-122
Statistical observation was made on 117 cases of malignant tumors in the urinary tract who had been admitted to Department of the Urology, St. Mary's Hospital from January 1, 1966 to May 31. 1972. Statistical observation included age, sex, clinical manifestation, annual distribution, organ distribution and methods of operation. The results were as follows; 1. Male patients were more common than female patients, and most of them were over the age of 40 years. Hematuria was the most common symptom, and other symptoms were pain, mass and dysuria. Operations were performed in 79 patients, and remaining patients were treated with radiation, chemotherapy and hormone therapy. 2. The urinary bladder was the most commonly involved organ, and other organs were in order of kidney, prostate and penis. Histologically, transitional cell carcinoma in the bladder was the most common and next in order was of renal cell carcinoma, Wilms' tumor and squamous cell carcinoma of penis.

5.Leiomyosarcoma of the Breast.
Korean Journal of Pathology 1987;21(1):49-53
Leiomyosarcoma of the breast is extremely rare. The natural history of leiomyosarcoma of the breast remains largely unknown because of the low incidence and lack of long-term follow up. But leiomyosarcoma of the breast appears to be less aggressive biologically than other sarcomas of the breast such as rhabdomyosarcoma. In an attempt to define diagnostic criteria of smooth muscle tumors of the breast, the reported cases of leiomyoma of the breast and nipple were also reviewed and compared with leiomyosarcomas by Chen et al(1981). Based on the result of this review, tumors with three or more mitoses per 10 HPF are leiomyosarcoma and those with no mitosis, necrosis, and significant atypia are leiomyomas. We have experienced a case of leiomyosarcoma of the breast. The patient was a 39 year-old female and was admitted due to a rapid growing right breast mass. The breast mass was noted 4 years ago and then this year the mass growed rapidly. Simple mastectomy was performed. Grossly the mass measured 11.0x8.0x8.0 cm in dimensions and was well circumscribed, pinkish, multinodular, and it was protruded from the cut surface. Microscopically the mass is composed of interlacing bundles of spindle shaped cells and multifocal large areas of hyalinized collagenous tissue. The individual spindle cells are slightly pleomorphic and occasionally show mitotic figures, 6~7 per 10 HPF in the most cellular area.

Xeroderma pigmentosum is a genodermatosis characterized by extreme sun sensitivity, photophobia, freckly hyperpigmentation, atrophy, telangiectases, keratoses and finally malignant degeneration of the skin. It is rare and prebobly inherrited as a recessive trait, Photosensitive cutaneous symptoms developed in complication with squamous cell ca is presented. A 20-year-old male were studied. Routine laboratory examinations were within normal limits including hemogram, urinalysis, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinina, liver function tests(including bromsulphalaein excretion) and serum electrolytes, chest X-Ray. The histopathological picture showed characteristic xeroderma pigmentosum and squamous cell ca. Clinical, histopathological and biochemical features of this disease are also discuseed.

Korean Journal of Urology 1978;19(5):435-440
A vesicovaginal fistula is a distressing complication which may follow hysterectomy and other extensive pelvic operation. Maligntncies of the uterin cervix or bladder may predispose to erosion and vesicovaginal fistula or such fistulas may occur as a result of extensive radiation therapy. Childbirth, particularly involving prolonged labor with potential necrosis of the vesico vaginal septum or complicated delivery with trauma may also induce a vesicovaginal fistula. In this experience the most common cause of vesicovaginal fistula resulting from surgery was total abdominal hysterectomy. Diagnosis of vesicovaginal fistula is usually made when appearance of methylene blue in the vagina after instillation of the dye into the bladder and further confirmed the presence and definitive localization of the fistula with cystoscopic examination. The operative procedures, the authors utilized were suprapubic transvesical closure in 8 cases, vaginal closure in two cases, and transabdominal approach in one case. The bladder was opened at the dome and then stay sutures were made at 1.0cm from the fistula margin. Then, the fistulous tract was excised making a lateral margin wide enough to leave viable tissue for subsequent closure. Vaginal wall and bladder wall closure were carried out in whole layer using interrupted 2 zero chromic suture. In one case of large fistula with high opening, the patient was underwent transabdominal method interposing a peritoneal flap between vagina and bladder wall. A urethral catheter was placed for 10 to 12 days postoperatively. In 5 cases of ureterovaginal fistula, one patient required the nephrectomy because of pyonephrosis, 2 patients refused further medication, one had ureteral reimplantation and another patient had psoas hitch and Boari operation. The following conclusions were obtained. 1. The most common cause of vesicovaginal fistula was the complication of total hysterectomy. 2. The diameter of fistulous tract was ranging from 1 to 10 mm. 3. For the repair of vesicovaginal fistula transvesical approach were 8 out of in 13 case, vaginal route in 2 cases, intraabdominal approach using a peritonal flap in one case. 4. Urethral catheter had been placed postoperatively was removed on the 12th postoperative day in most cases. Ureteral splint catheter was also placed for 8 to 10 days postoperatively. 5. 12 out of 14 cases, urinary vaginal fistulas were successfully closed on the first surgical attempt and one case healed on the second attempt. One case failed because of infection at the area of closure.

Choong Sung CHUN ; Soo Kil LIM
Korean Journal of Urology 1978;19(5):465-468
A case of intussusception of a ureter due to a ureteral polyp was observed. Ureteral intussusception have been exceedingly rare, and very few reference to this condition can be found in the medical literature. The author have report a 39 years old female of a case of intussusception of the ureter associated with a benign polyp. The author have performed satisfactory conservative treatment. The patient was entirely recovery and has remained in excellent health since.
