Adenoma of the nipple is a benign tumor of the lactiferous ducts of the nipple which frequently causes erosion of the surface. It can clinically mmic Paget's disease and histologically be misdiagnosed as a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. A 20-year-old woman developed an erythematous oozing patch on the right nipple two years ago, which subsequently developed iiito verrucous surfaccd papules. A biopsy specimen of the lesion showed focal acanthosis of the epidermis. The tumor was composed of fairly well-circumscribed, glandlike structures within the nipple stroma. Ductlike struciures, papillary areas, solid nests of cells and cysts lined by squarnous epithelium, could be seen, Two cell types lining the ducts were recognized; inner columnar cells and peripherally located cuboidal cells. Although simple excision of the adenoma is the treatment of choice, our case was treated successfully by electrucoagulation.

Several measurements were performed about 105 cases of normal stress A-P arthrographic findings in adult knee including discoid without tearing or osteoarthritis, those were selected from 166 cases examined arthrographicaliy under same technical condition due to suspicious internal derangement of the knee from October 1976 to March 1980. After stastistical analysis and comparative study about chondrai thickness, chondral index, meniscal size, meniscal index, intermeniscal distance, type of meniscus, communication between knee and proximal tibiofibular joint, following results were obtained. 1. Chondral thickness of normal articular cartilage was not related to joint size, but almost same value individually. Mean chondral thickness In P and P points was 2.90±0.63mm, 2.90±0.62mm, 2.93±0.64mm, 2.92±0.65mm in lateral, medial femoral condyle and lateral, medial tibial condyle in order. Age change was not seen statistically. 2. The size of meniscus was correlated nearly proportional with that of the joint. Mean lateral meniscus size (transverse meniscal length × meniscal thickness) was 12.55±2.50mm × 6.53±0.7mm in male and 10.13±2.25mm × 6.02±0.52mm in female. That of medial meniscus was 9.79+1.54mm × 5.85+ 0.45mm in male, and 7.72±1.64mm × 5.36±0.92mm in female. Age change was not seen statistically either. 3. Mean intermeniscal distance was 60.21x2.74mm in male, 53.34±3.31mm in female and occupied 83% in male, 82% in female of joint size each other. 4. In types of meniscus, normal type was 8.10%, infantile type dlscoid 12.4%, intermediate type 2.9%, primitive type 3.7% each other. 5. Communications between knee joint and proximal tibiofibular joint were seen in 24%.

We herein presented a case of persistent variant of Grovers disease in a 83-year old male. He had a rather extensive eruption of erythematous scaly papules, which had been profusely grouped but discretely distributed over 2 years or more. The histopathologic findings of two lesions in the same patient revealed mixture of various histologic patterns, patterns resembling Dariers disease, pemphigus vulgaris, Hailey-Hailey disease and spongiosis. The ultrastructural findings of Darier pattern should be essentially similar to those of Dariers disease and also be common to those observed in the early stages of other causes of focal acantholytic dyskeratosis. The patient had been treated with topical and intralesional steroid and oral 13-cis-isotretinoin, however, the lesions had been persisted only with partial improvement of clinical appearance and reduction of pruritus.

We report a case of penile lymphangioma circumscriptum developed in a 22- year-old male soldier. Rice-sized papule on glans penis was noted at birth and progressed to yellow straw-colored, peanut-sized, asymptomatic grouped papulovesicles resembling frog spawn. The predilection sites of lymphangioma circumscriptum are the abdomen, axilla and tongue. Glans penis is a very rare site. Histopathologic findings showed papillornatosis, hyperkeratosis and cystically dilated lymph vessels lined by a single layer of endothelial cells.

Hypergammaglobulinemic purpura of Waldenstrom is a distinct syndrome consisting of recurrent episodes of purpura, elevated serum r-globulins, elevated erythrocyteed rnentation rate, and mild anemia. This disease has been divided into the prirnary type without an uncerlying disease, and the secondary type with a known underlying disease. We diagnosed a hypergammaglobulinemic purpura of Waldenstram in a 53-year-old woman who presented sudden onset of showers of purpuric macules and petechiae of 24 hours duration involving her lower extremities with a 10-rnonth history. She showed characteristic laboratory findings consistent with those of hypergammiglobulnemic purpura of Waldenstrorri and also showed positive results of antinuclear antibody and rheumatoid factor. We tried to find out if there we any associated underlying disases such as systemic lupus erythematosus or Sjogren synirorne through various tests but faile it find any. We concluded she showed a primary type of hypergarnmhglobulinemic purpura of Waldcnstrorn.
