The close similarity of acrokeratosis verruciformis(AKV) to the acral lesions of Dariers disease is well known. However, the exact relationship between the two disorders has not been satisfactorily resolved. A case of Dariers disease associated with guttate leukoderma and AKV is presented. The patient was a 17-year-old male who had dark cursted papules on the neck and lower abdomen, flat-topped keratotic papules on the dorsal surface of hoth hands, and white macules disseminated on the trunk and lower extremities of 7 years duration. The histopathologic examination of the lesion on the lower abdomen revealed parakeratotic plugs, corps ronds, and suprabasal clefts. The lesion on the dorsum of the hand showed compact hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, and papillomatosis with the pattern of church spires. The leukodermic lesion revealed decreased melanin content in the epidermal cells.

To assess the immunological function of toluene exposed group, the proportions of T lymphocyte, B lymphocyte, CD 4 cell, CD 8 cell, the ratio of CD4 to CD8 (CD4/CD8) in peripheral blood were measured on twenty-one toluene exposed workers and twelve healthy workers who did not have previous history of toluene exposure. In addition, to evaluate the present status of toluene exposure, urinary hippuric acid concenturations were measured in exposed group. The mean concenturation of urinary hippuric acid was 2.84 g/creatinine g in exposed group. The proportions of T lymphocyte, B lymphocyte, CD8 cell and CD4/CD8 of exposed group were slightly lower than non-exposed group except the proportion of CD4 cell which was similar in both groups. But these differences were not statistically different in both groups. The proportions of T lymphocyte and CD4 cell were significantly correlated with the length of duration in exposed group (P<0.05)

22 cases of giant cell tumor of bone treated between 1973 and 1979 have been reviewed after a miaimum follow-up of two years and following results were obtaind. 1. Fourteen cases (63%) were in the third and fourth decade. 2. Fourteen cases (63%) were located around the knee joint. 3. Five (42%) of the twelve tumors treated by curettage and bone graft recurred. Five tumors treated by En bloc resection and two tumors treated by amputation had no recurrences. 4. Five of six recurrences occured within two years after mitial treatment.

Progressive cribriform and zosteriform hyperpigmentaion (PCZP) is a pigmentary disorder of the skin which was first described by Rower et al in 1978. The disorder is characterized clinically by uniformalyptan cribriform macular pigmentation in a zosteriform distibution and histopathologically by absence of nevus cells and increased melanin in the basal cells. The authors have experienced a case of PCZP in 21 year old Korean man which we believe is the first documented case in Korea. The patient noted light brown macules on his left inguinal area at the age of 17 which has gradually extended to become cribriform macular pigmentation in a zosteriform distribution. Histopathologic examination of the lesion showed an increase in basal melanin pigmentation. No nevus cells were present.
