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.

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%).

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.

Mammary carcinoma was induced in rats by itravenous injection of N-methy-N-Nitrosourea. Microangiography was perfromed to evaluate the microvascular alterations in mammary carcinoma after irradiation. The tumors were givena single dose of 1.400 rads using Co-60 telethrapy unit with field size of 4 x 4 cm at 40 cm SSD. The dose ratewas 147.5 rads per minute. Microangiography was performed prior to irradiation and at one, two, and four weeksfollowing irradiation. The results are as follows: 1. Before irradiation, mammary carcinoma in rats tended to formlobules and the basic vasculature consisted of peripheral vascular pattern with central penetrating vessels. Theperipheral vascular pattern was always richer than that of the center. Irregular and tortuous vessles stretchedfrom the periphery into the center of lobule. 2. One week following irradiation, an increase in the number ofsmaller, tortuous vessels and decreased intervasular distance were obseved in the central portion of each lobule.This finding seems to be due to an improved filling of some previously existing but unfilled vessels. This maylead to improved metabolic changes and reoxygenation. 3. Later's changes of microvasculature after irradiation aretortuosity, irregularity, narrowing, abrupt tapering, fragmentation, and extravasation. These findings progressedafter a lapse of time. 4. The results can be considered as the microangiographic demonstration of the fact that reoxygenation after irradiation is mainly due to dilatation of the collapsed tumor vessels.
