1.Cutaneous Metastasis from Prostatic Carcinoma.
Annals of Dermatology 2000;12(2):114-116
Prostatic carcinoma is one of the most common malignancies in males of western countries but it is a rare malignancy in Korea. If it occurs, it commonly metastasizes to other organs. In-spite of its high incidence of distant metastasis, the cutaneous metastasis of the prostatic carcinoma is very rare and seems to have a poor prognosis. A 67-year-old man presented multiple nontender nodules on the skin of the right thigh and had episodes of multiple metastases from prostatic carcinoma to the lungs and bones. Histopathologic findings of the skin showed atypical cells infiltration at the dermis. Immunohistochemical staining for prostate specific antigen showed a positive reaction, therefore, we reached the diagnosis of cutaneous metastasis from prostatic carcinoma.

Several measurements were performed about 105 cases of normal stress A-P arthrographic findings in adult knee including discoid without tearing or osteoarthritis, those were selected from 166 cases examined arthrographicaliy under same technical condition due to suspicious internal derangement of the knee from October 1976 to March 1980. After stastistical analysis and comparative study about chondrai thickness, chondral index, meniscal size, meniscal index, intermeniscal distance, type of meniscus, communication between knee and proximal tibiofibular joint, following results were obtained. 1. Chondral thickness of normal articular cartilage was not related to joint size, but almost same value individually. Mean chondral thickness In P and P points was 2.90±0.63mm, 2.90±0.62mm, 2.93±0.64mm, 2.92±0.65mm in lateral, medial femoral condyle and lateral, medial tibial condyle in order. Age change was not seen statistically. 2. The size of meniscus was correlated nearly proportional with that of the joint. Mean lateral meniscus size (transverse meniscal length × meniscal thickness) was 12.55±2.50mm × 6.53±0.7mm in male and 10.13±2.25mm × 6.02±0.52mm in female. That of medial meniscus was 9.79+1.54mm × 5.85+ 0.45mm in male, and 7.72±1.64mm × 5.36±0.92mm in female. Age change was not seen statistically either. 3. Mean intermeniscal distance was 60.21x2.74mm in male, 53.34±3.31mm in female and occupied 83% in male, 82% in female of joint size each other. 4. In types of meniscus, normal type was 8.10%, infantile type dlscoid 12.4%, intermediate type 2.9%, primitive type 3.7% each other. 5. Communications between knee joint and proximal tibiofibular joint were seen in 24%.

We report a 58 year old man who complained that his nails didn't grow for a year and developed yellowish discoloration. On physical examination his nails showed yellow greenish discoloration, increased corvexity, loss of lunulae and cuticles. C]iest X ray revealed atelectasis on right lower lung field and bronchiectasis on left lower lung field. Mild restrictive pattern was observed in pulmoniry function test. We gave him 800IU of Vitamin E claily for 3 months, but rio remarkable changes have been observed as yet..

Since the time of Jonathan Hutchinson (1858-63), it has been known that over 90% of cases of diffuse interstitial keratitis occur in syphilitic patients. The syphilitic patients was sharply decreased throughout the world after the introduction of penicillin for syphilis therapy, but recently the incidence of syphilis began to increase throughout the world. The authors experienced 3 cases of interstitial keratitis due to congenital syphilis. All the cases showed interstitial keratitis, positive serologic test for syphilis (VDRL) and Hutchinson's teeth. A brief review and relating literatures are presented.
