We present a case of nevus flammeus associated with angiokeratoma of Fordyce and lymphangioma circumscriptum in a 26 year-old Korean man. We have known that the congenital hemangiomas may be associated with many syndromes such as Kasabacb-Merritt syndrome, Sturge-Weber syndrome and etc. Recently the congenital hemangiomas associated with angiokeratoma or lymphangioma were reported in several literatures, Watson and McCarthy reported that it seemed to be established that three types of benign vascular tumors had a common origin and grew in an identical fashion by projecting buds of endothelial tissue. So the congenital hemangiomas may have a close association with angiokeratoma or lymphangioma.

Though congitive functions of a man decline in normal aging and memory decline is the most common complaint of an elderly, the status of quantitive and qualitative estimates of these are rare in Korea. To assess the qualitative and quantitive aspect of changes of memory in aging, neuropsychological tests about memory functions were performed and the results were.analyzed in healthy adult volunteers of 20 to 9 year-old, having no evidence-of organic brain dysfunction. The scores of each tests.are lower than that of English-speaking countries, but memory functions declined significantly in normal aging and the qualitative aspect of these are characteristics. Contrary to the western reports. The visuospatial memory declined significantly before the age of 50 and the verbal memory after 50 in aging. So we should take care in screening and diagnosis of dementia and amnesia using these neuropsychological test in Korea.

Although the mediastinum is the second favorite location of primary teratoma in adults, primary malignant teratoma in mediastinum is rare in incidence. Malignant teratoma includes teratocarcinoma, immature teratoma and malignant transformation in benign teratoma. The latter is rarer than others types, and undifferentiated or squamous cell carcinoma are the major incidence. We experience a case of unique adenocarcinoma composed of signet ring cells in mature teratoma of mediastinum and brief review of the literatures are included.
