The authors developed a computer program for use in report printing as well as data storage and retrieval system at the surgical pathology and its efficacy was evaluated at the Department of Pathology, Seoul National University Hospital. This program used IBM PC XT and was written in DBASE III plus language. The main features of the program included an automatic coding and decoding of the diagnosis, automatic searching of the previous biopsy during gross dictation, powerful word processing function and flexibility of the program. The data storage was carried out during the typewriting of the report, so that the typist's workload became markedly reduced. Two kinds of data files wer stored in the hard disk ; the temporary file contained full informations and the permanent file contained the core data only. Searching of a specific case was performed by pathology accession number, chart number, patient's name or by SNOMED code within a second. All the cases were arranged by copied to the diskette during the daily service automatically, with which data were easily restored in case of hard disk failure. The advantages of this program using a persosnal computer were discussed with comparison to those of larger computer system. Based on the experience of 8 months usage in Seoul National University, we assume that this program gives a sufficient solution to the surgical pathology service of many institutes where a large computer system with well designed software is not available yet.

Both eruptive vellus hair cyst and steatocystoma multiplex are uncommon conditions. There are clinical similarities between these two entities, but histological features are distinctive. We describe a patient with multiple subcutaneous nodules on the chest and both axilla, showing combined histological features of both an eruptive vellus hair cyst and steatocystoma multiplex. This case suggests that eruptive vellus hair cyst and steatocystoma multiplex are variants of one disorder which originate in the pilosebaceous duct.

Paget's disease is classified, according to location, as mammary or extramammary disease. Extramammary Paget's disease especially in the vulva is extremely rare. Several hundred cases have been described worldwide. Patients with Paget's disease of the vulva are usually white and postmenopausal. The cause of which remains elusive. A case of vulva Paget's disease is presented with brief review of literature.

Annals of Dermatology 1997;9(1):8-10
We report a case of acantholytic dyskeratotic epidermal nevus in a 28-year-old female. The patient showed unilateral, asymptomatic, grouped, 2 mm sized, brownish, follicular ant non-follicular, keratotic papules disposed along Blaschko´s lines on the right side of th back, flank and abdomen. She had had this condition for 4 years. The biopsy specimen obtaine, from the abdomen showed hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis, acanthosis, acantholytic suprabasal clefts, corps ronds, and grains. Although cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen was per formed on half of the lesions, the whole skin lesions healed with focal hypertrophic scars 4 weeks later. There was no recurrence after a 12 months follow-up period. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of acantholytic dyskeratotic epidermal nevus in Korean dermatologi, literature.

Tuberous sclerosis is a systemic disorder of hamartoma format on includes facial angiofibromas, subungal fibromas, hypomelanic maciles Shagreens patches. The earliest skin manifestation of tuberous sileiule, but it may appear later. We present a case of fibrous plaqu a recognized skin signs. Forehead plaque can be the earliest skin near in many organs. Skin involvement less forehead fibrous plaques, and vsis is usually hypornelanotic inacipearing before any of these more festation of tuberous sclerosis. Its presence may lead to early diagnosis and appropriate genetic couise hng hut may be a poor prognostic sign.

Oil granuloma is a foreignbody reaction which occurs after injection of lipid usually for cosmetic or therapeutic reasons. I present a case of eyelid oil granuloma caused by accidental high pressure injury in a 39-year-old man. The patient had a 2 x 0.5cm sized, firm, normardear subcutaneous nodule on the Rt. upper eyelid. Histopathologic examination showed a characteris swiss-cheese appearance. Eyelid oil granuloma caused by high pressure injury is very rare and my case is the first described in Korean medical literatures.

There is room for debate in appropriate diagnosis and treatment due to physiological and anatomical differences in pediatric facial bone fractures from that of adult's. The objectives of this article is to analyze for our clinical cases and to suggest the appropriate management of facial bone fracture in children. The study included 56 children who had treatment for the craniofacial fractures form March, 1990 to February, 1998. Their ages ranged from 3 to 15. There were 38 males and 18 females. Physical examination, simple x-rays, ultrasonograms and routine CT scans were used for diagnosis. Materials were classified into 28 nasal bone fractures, 4 nasoethmoidal fractures, 6 orbital fractures, 8 mandible fractures, and 10 zygoma fractures. Patients were treated with conservative treatment in 9 cases, with closed reduction in 28 cases and open reduction only, and 14 patients with open reduction and internal fixation using microplates and screws. 3 patients needed autogenous calvarial bone graft. Plates and screws were removed in postoperative 3-6 months. All patients had successful union of fractured bones without no specific complications, and normal bony growths were noticed during the 7 years follow up. We conclude that surgeons should be careful in diagnosis and management for the pediatric facial fracture due to anatomical variations and differences in fracture aspects. First, it is mandatory for surgeous to get accurate diagnosis and identify children's fracture and displacement through routine CT check up along with physical examination. Second, it is important to perform the minimally invasive technique or conservative treatment for the children with mild displacement so that it reduces the incidence of growth retardation which may be caused by extensive operation. However, application of rigid fixation is necessary in case of extensive bony displacement or bony defects because of poor coorporation in postoperative care. Third, plates and screws which were used for the internal fixation should be removed at 3-6 months after the surgery. Fourth, if bone graft is needed, it is better to use autogenous graft than allogeneous graft. Fifth, care for dentition and follow up for growth are necessary for growing children.
