Keratoacanthoma is a benign neoplasm that develops as a protruding mass especially on the central part of face, We experienced a case of keratoacanthoma that developed on the nasal vestibule after the eradication of verruca vulgaris on the same site by surgical intervention 3 months before. We treated it with total excision and skin graft.

Developmental venous anomalies are congenital anomalies of the intracranial venous drainage and clinically asymptomatic. Cavernous hemangiomas are vascular malformations composed of dilated vascular channels lined with a single layer of endothelial cells without any intervening normal neural tissue. Although, cavernous hemangioma may be clinically silent, but frequently cause variable neurologic manifestations; intracranial hemorrhage, seizures, and focal neurologic deficits. Frequent association of these two diseases has already been reported and it has been suggested that cavernous hemangiomas not the developmental venous anomalies that cause the acute clinical symptoms. A 4 year old girl with sudden onset of headache, vomiting, gait disturbance and signs of unilateral cerebellar dysfunction 2 days before admission showed a 2.5x2.5cm sized hematoma with heterogenous signal intensity both in CT and MRI in the left cerebellar hemisphere. Four-vessel cerebral angiography revealed characteristic findings of developmental venous anomalies. Pathologic findings of the surgically removed hematoma disclosed typical feature of cavernous hemangioma. Based on the findings in this case and review of the literatures, we concluded that the possibility of other diseases such as cavernous hemangiomas must be considered in patients who has intracranial hemorrhage due to the developmental venous anomalies.

Three cases of congenital coxa vara were treated by subtroch-anterie abduction osteotomy with percutaneous pin fixation of both fragments. The indications of the corrective subtrochanteric osteotomy for coxa vara deformity were the neck-shaft angle of 100 degress or less, the presence of marked gluteus medius limp and the vertical neck defect with progression of the varus deformity. Through a lateral approach, the lateral aspect of the proximal end to the femoral shaft was exposed and 2 Steinmann pins were inserted through the upper and lower levels to the proposed osteotomy. The distal pin was inserted perpendicular to the long axis of the femur and the proximal pin at an algle of desired correction to the distal pin and a subtrochanteric transverse osteotomy was completed. Two Steinmann pins were paralell to each other by adducting the proximal fragment and abducting the distal fragment. and the lateral cortex of the proximal fragment was impacted into the marrow cavity of the distal fragment. The Steinmann pins were then incorporated in the hip spica cast. The object of the operation was to correct the coxa vara, to change the stress on the vertical fissure in the neck from shear to compression and to overcome shortening of leg. With this technically simple method, the authors achieved adequate correction of the deformity. The ostetomies healed rapidly and the medullary canal was re-established in all cases, The gait of each patient was markedly improved and the Trendelenburg test become negative in all of them. One of these patients showed a mild recurrence of varus deformity and limp 2 years following surgery.

Actinomycosis is a chronic suppurative and granulomatous disease characterized by peripheral spread and extension to contagious tissue, rare hematogenous spread, and the formation of multiple draining sinus tracts. In the rare case of hematogenous disseminated Actinomycosis; lesions appear in all parts of the body. Bone involvement, however, is very rare except the jaw and there has been only some reports about the ribs and vertebral columns. To our knowledge, this case represents the first report of documented distal femoral involvement.
