Takayasu's arteritis(arteritis syndrome) is an inflammatory disease process affecting primarily the aorta and its main branches. It's etiology and pathogenesis are unknown. Controversy exists in treatment. Segmental stenoses, occlusions, and aneurysmal degeneration of the aorta and the proximal arterial tree are frequent findings. Clinical presentations may include cerebrovascular ischemia, limb ischemia, aortic valvular insufficiency, heart failure, renovascular hypertension, or renal failure. Recently, we experienced a case of Takayasu's arteritis in a 24 years old female with severe dizziness, claudication in right upper extremity. Patient was treated by angioplasty of left vertebral artery and concomitant left subclavian-to-right axillary artery bypass surgery followed by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with stent therapy of right vertebral artery to prevent cerebrovascular ischemia during the operation. Postoperative result was excellent and dizziness and claudication of right arm were completely relieved.

Combined injury of peroneus brevis rupture and bimalleolar fracture is very rare. The avulsion of peroneus brevis tendon from insertion maybe neglected and may prevent anatomic reduction of lateral malleolar fracture. We have treated open bimalleolar fracture with avulsion of peroneus brevis tendon from its insertion.

Documented lymphoma of the kidney is rare and its diagnosis is very difficult. In most cases the diagnosis is made after removal or biopsy of a kidney for suspected primary renal tumor or at autopsy. If a lymphoma of the kidney were primary, early diagnosis and aggressive treatment of the local area would be essential for a cure. Herein we report a case of primary renal lymphoma in 38-yr-old man who was treated with surgical intervention and combination chemotherapy.

Progressive zosteriform macular pigmented lesion(PZMPL) is a chronic pigmentary dermatosis similar to progressive cribriform and zosteriform hyperpigmentation(PCZH). This dermatosis described by Simoes in 1980 is characterized by a uniformly tanned macular pigmented lesion in a zosteriform distribution preceded by multiple pruritic macular pigmentation in a part of the dermatome for a period. PZMPL is not a fully understood disease entity but it is thought to be a variant of PCZH. It is differentiated from PCZH by accompanying pruritus as a prodromal symptom, a characteristic clinical course, and histological findings such as pigmentary incontinence. We report herein a case of PZMPL in a 17 year-old girl with the pigmentary skin lesion extending from the left forearm to the left chest along the Blaschkos line. The histological findings revealed increased melanin pigments in the basal layer and focal pigmentary incontinence in the upper dermis. To our knowledge, this case is the first report of PZMPL in korea thought to be the same case reported by Simoes.
