The present study evaluates the type, frequency and location of basal cell epithelioma, as well as the age and sex distribution of patients and the recurrence rate of basal cell epithelioma. In this study 116 patients, who visited Severance hospital during the last 15 years from Jan. 1, 1967 to Dec. 31, 1981 and were diagnosed histopathologically as having basal cell epithelioma, were analysed.

We describe an unusual case of leptomenigeal carcinomatosis presented with bilateral blindness. A 67-year old male had been suffering from progressive blindness for the past 2 months. Initially, the symptom developed in the right eye but quickly spread to the left eye becoming bilateral with complete vision loss in a matter of weeks. He did not show any other focal neurological signs and did not have a history of malignancy. An examination of the cerebrospinal fluid revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma. As this case indicated, the patients of leptomeningal metastasis may present with acute or subacute blindness, even in the absence of other focal neurological deficits.

Penile Horn occurs as a single or multiple lesions. It usually starts as warty growth that later becomes hyperkeratotic and assumes the appearance of a horn. A 22-year-old male patient was presented with a slow growing, asymptomatic, dark brownish colored, corn-shaped, protruding mass on prepuce of the penis for 5 months. Histopathologic finding showed verruca vulgaris. We think that penile horn in this case may be come from verruca vulgaris.

Since MacLean's observation of the possibility of imipramine hydrochloride usefulness in 1960, it has been widely used in the therapy of childhood enuresis. The authors observed 25 cases receiving imipramine therapy and urethral dilatation for primary nocturnal enuresis. Of the 25 patients, 18 boys and 7 girls 4 to 18 years old, in this study, 8 received urethral dilatation because of lower urinary tract stricture. 2 of 8 were no more bed-wetting during sleep. But the other 6were persistent enuretic. 23 cases, 17 without urinary tract disorder and the above 6, were taken imipramine hydrochloride 50mg or 75rag according to the body weight of patients for 28 days one hour before bedtime. During the therapy with imipramine, the effect was excellent in 11 cases, fair in 10 and no effect in 2. After the cessation of the drug, follow-up observation was done at least 1 month. The response was as followed; Complete response in 4 cases, good response in 10, transient response in 7 and no response in 2. Over-all results of complete and good response to the enuretic children through both the administration of imipramine and instrumental dilatation of urethral stricture were 16 case(64%), transient response in 7 cases(28%) and no effect in 2 cases(8%).
