We reviewed the clinico-histopathologic aspects. of 121 patients diagnosed as subcutaneons lipamas in 1981~1986, Additionally, the size of lipoma cells was statistica,lly compared with normal controls. The results were obtained as follows: The majority of patients visited the surgical department, specially general surgcry, whereas only 7 visited dermatology. The ratio of solitary to multiple type was 10:1. Females predominated in the patients with solitary type, outnumbering males in multiple type. While solitary type consisted of 98 patients (89.1%) with SL, 10 with FL and 3 with AL, multiple type had 7 with SL and 4 with AL. There were prominent incidences in the 5th and 6th decades followed by a slow decline. Faur of all 6 AL patients were multiple type. Males were affected in all but one. All AL patients showed non-infiltrating. The torso was mostly involved in 60.4% In 7 of all 17 AL lesions, the upper extremity was predorninantly involved. Sixty sevenr of the 136 masses were less than,3cm in diameter. In AL lesions, 76.5% was less than 3cm and likely to be smaller than other 2 types. The presumed time of onset was most common in 1~3 years The size of liporna cells was found to be slightly larger in only SL specimens than in controls(63.65+432pm and 56.32+6.50um respectively; p<0.0l).

Consecutive twelve patients' twelve eyes with complicated pars planitis underwent pars plana vitrectomy at our center in the period from January 1988 to December 1990. Patients' ages ranged from 24 to 60(mean 39.9)years and all were male. Nine patients had histories of topical or systemic steroid therapy and at the time of surgery, all eyes were quiet from active inflammation. With various degrees of vitreal opacities, five eyes had macular pucker or membrane only and in other seven eyes, retinal detachments of either tractional or tractional-rhegmatogenous origin were arisen. In the later group, macular hole was associated in two eyes. Surgical procedures combined were membrane peeling(five eyes), scleral buckling(ten eyes), fluid/air-gas exchange(eight eyes), lensectomy(two eyes) and photocoagulation(two eyes). During the follow-up period ranged from four to twenty-one(mean 7.75)months after first operations, the uveitis recurred or continued to be activated in four eyes and as a complication, retinal detachment occurred in two eyes which had macular pucker only preoperatively. One refused reoperation and the other was reattached successfully by second operation. Final visual acuities were improved in eight eyes, stationary in one and worsen in three. The causes of worsen vision were retinal detachment, macular edema and macular slanting by buckle respectively. Preoperatively, the majority of eyes(10 eyes: 84%) had less than 0.09 vision and postoperative vision turned over better than 0.09 in 7 eyes(59%). Although we did not confirm extinguished therapeutic effects of vitrectomy on the pars planitis perse, our results revealed some positve role of surgical intervention in the complicated pars planitis.

Granuloma gluteale infantum is a granulomatous lesion in the diaper area of infants. Athough usually seen in infants, it has been described in incontinent elderly patients. The causes of granuloma gluteale infantum are not clear, although child care equipment(ditergents1, diapers2, and starch3), corticosteroids2,4,5,6, candidial infection3 urine and feces7 have been postulated for its etiology. We report a case of granuloma gluteale infantum in a 5-month-old boy. He was healthy except for an asymtomatic 1.5×1.5cm sized, round, Rat-topped brownish and firm nodule on the perianal area, and two, 1×3cm and 1×6cm sized brownish plaques on the intertriginous area of the neck. The lesions were resistant to the treatment of systemic antibiotics. These nodules completely resolved in the three months after we tried to keep the diaper area clean without using any corticosteroids or other ointments and after changing from plastic diapers to cotton o A histological examination of the nodule on the perianal area showed mild hyperkeratosis, spongiosis, and focal infiltration of neutrophils in the epidermis. In the dermis, an inflammatory infiltrate composed of many lymphocytes, eosinophils, plasma cells, and histiocytes was

Ninety-one cases of genitourinary tract injuries which were admitted to Severance Hospital during the period from Jan. 1960 to Aug. 1968 were analyzed clinically and statistically. And it was investigated compared with previous papers 1) The rate of genitourinary injuries accounted for 7.3 per cent to the total admission patients during eight years sixty-nine per cent of all injuries were in men and thirty-one per cent in women. The age distribution was much the same as that found in previous literature. Most favorable age was in from 20 to50 years for 72.5 percent 2) The meet common involvement site was in urethra for32.9 per cent while external genitalia showing most common site in war wound Also iatrogenic ureteral injuries was relatively high in spite of most less commonest incidence in previous paper 3) Thirty-six per cent of all injuries weredue to traffic or vehicular accident and twenty-four per cent 'due to iatrogenic. Majority of these iatrogenic injuries occurred in pelvic operation. Falls kick and blow were listed not less frequently. 4) On observation of kidney injuries. predisposed hydronephrotic kidney was injured more frequently due to mild external forces and three cases of sixteen kidney injuries had hydronephrosis dueto stone and congenital ureteral stricture in this series 5) An incidence of ureteral injury during radical hysterectomy was variable in literature. but it was noted around 10 percent generally. In reviewing 197 cases of radical hysterectomy for carcinoma of cervix, incidence of ureteral injuries was 12 cases(7.3 per cent) and it was listed 9.3 percent including bladder injuries. 6) In investigating bladder injuries, 53 percent of injuries were associated with pelvic bone fracture And 87 per cent was extraperitoneal type and 13 per cent wasin intraperitoneal rupture. 7) Also majority of urethral injuries were associatedwith pelvic bone fracture especially in car accident cases and then involved posterior urethra for 85 per cent. And bulbous urethra was injured by straddle injury for 70 per cent.

Since that first description of the so-called granular cell myoblastoma by Abrikossoff in 1926, it has been reported as occuring in many sites. This tumor is an unusual but not rare tumor. From the number of reviewed case reports(550) upto now, it appears that the occurence of multiple granular cell tumors (36) is much more common (7–16%) than traditionally believed. The precise histogenesis of this tumor is open to question. Most of this tumor is benign, but malignant ones have been reported. A case of malignant granular cell myoblastoma which was histologically proven and metastasized to the coracoid process of left scapula, the lung, and the skull, is presented with a brief of the literature.

BACKGROUND: Morphologic characteristics of the human embryonic and fetal periderm according to body region are not very clearly defined. OBJECTIVE: We have tried to Clarify the sequential development of periderm regionally. METHOD: Skin samples were obtained from 12 human embryos and fetuses ranging from 4 to 23 estimated gestational ages(EGA) and divided regionally into scalp, face, back. abdomen, thigh and sale. Specimens were observed by scainning with an electron microscope. RESULTS: Human embryonic end fetal periderm show distinct morphologic changes as follows along its own sequence of development flattened surface, elevated surface, fiormation of incomplete bleb. single bleb stage, multiple-complex bleb stage, formation of regressinjg bieb. Then towards the end of the second trimester, most of thieperidermal cells are completely regressed. Regional variation in peridermal development is not evide!nt during the embryonic period, but earlier development is apparent in the sole, face and scalp especially in the sole compared to other areas during the late first snd second trimester after EGA 9 weeks. CONCLUSION: The periderm, which can be seen only in embryonic and fetal epidermis, shows distinct sequential developmental changeis with regional variation.
