Lymphomatoid papulosis is a strange disease; clinically benign, histologically malignant. Clinically, it may simulate pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta. The diagnosis is based on the typical histopathological features suggestive of malignant lymphoma, due to the presence of polymorphous lymphoid infiltrate consisting of small lymphocytes intermingled with conspicuous large atypical cells. We experienced a case of lymphomastoid papulosis in 35-year-old woman. Initially, her skin lesions developed as erythematous papules on the extremities, gradually spreading centrifugally with a tendency to involute slowly without treatment, leaving brown wrinkled surface and shallow ulceration. These skin lesions tended to become worse in warm weather and better in cold weather. At first visit, multiple erythematous grouped, ulcerated papules and nodules are seen. 18 months after first visit, most skin lesions are regressed except 5 erythematous pinhead sized papules on right leg in spite of no treatrnent. Labcratory examiniations of CBC, VDRL, urinatlysis, blood chemistry and chest X-ray were all within normal limits. Histopathologically there were hygerkeratosis, mild acanthosis, exocytosis in epidermis, and numerous lymphoid cells were infiltrated especially on perivascular and periappendegeal area, and many atypical cells showing hyperchromatic nuclei, kidney-shaped nuclei and mitotic figures in dermis.

PURPOSE: We investigated whether myocardial SPECT had additional usefulness to clinical, functional or surgical indices for the preoperative evaluation of cardiac risks in noncardiac surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 118 patients (M: F=66:52, 62.7+/-10.5 years) were studied retrospectively. Eighteen underwent vascular surgeries and 100 nonvascular surgeries. Rest T1-201/stress Tc-99m-MIBI SPECT was performed before operation and cardiac events (hard event: cardiac death and myocardial infarction; soft event: ischemic ECG change, congestive heart failure and unstable angina) were surveyed through perioperative periods (14.6+/-5.6 days). Clinical risk indices, functional capacity, surgery procedures and SPECT findings were tested for their predictive values of perioperative cardiac events. RESULTS: Peri-operative cardiac events occurred in 25 patients (3 hard events and 22 soft events). Clinical risk indices, surgical procedure risks and SPECT findings but functional capacity were predictive of cardiac events. Reversible perfusion decrease was a better predictor than persistent decrease. Multivariate analysis sorted` out surgical procedure risk (p=0.0018) and SPECT findings (p=0.0001) as significant risk factors. SPECT could re-stratify perioperative cardiac risks in patients ranked with surgical procedures. CONCLUSION:: We conclude that myocardial SPECT provides additional predictive value to surgical type risks as well as clinical indexes or functional capacity for the prediction of preoperative cardiac events in noncardiac surgery.

Invasive carcinoma of the cervix during the pregnancy is relatively uncommon , It must be considered fetal viability, tumor control as well. If the carcinoma is diagnosed in the first or second trimester, treatment should be undertaken immediately. At the third trimester, treatment should be undertaken until the fetus is viable.
