Tinea pedis is frequently found in people with poor personal hygiene and in hot, humid environments. The authors investigated the clinical, epidemiological, and mycological characteristics of tinea pedis in 170 garbage workers(166 males and 4 females) employed in a garbage plant in Seoul, Korea. 40 were clerical workers and 130 were field workers. Tinea pedis was found in 134 with a prevalence rate of 78.8%. Of those 134, 61(45.5%) also had onychomycosis. The prevalence of tinea pedis increased with age and the period working in garbage plant. However, there was no difference in the prevalence of tinea pedis between clerical workers and field workers, mitigating against the conclusion that their tinea pedis may be of occupational origin. Clinically tinea pedis was classified into 4 types ; interdigital (41.8%), vesicular(23.1%), dry squamous(22.4%), and mixed(12.7%). KOH smear positivity and culture positivity was related to clinical types of the lesion the lowest in the interdigital type. In the interdigital type, the etiology of nonmycotic lesions could not be identified. Negative fungal cultures could have been due to secondary bacterial infections. 63 strains of dermatophytes were isolated; 54 strains of Trichophyton rubrem(85.7%), 8 strains of Trichophyton mentagrophytes(12.7%) and 1 mixed infection of T. rubrum and T. mentagrophytes. T. mentagrophytes was isolated only from the vesicular lesions. 8 strains of yeast forms, positive in KOH smears and yielding pure colonies, were also isolated, and repeated mycologic examination yielded the same results. Among them, at least 4 cases of Trichosporon beigelii, and 1 case of Candida parapsilosis were considered to be of pathogenic significance.

Cutaneous leiomyoma is a benign tnmor originating from smooth muscle fibers which are derived from arrector pili muscle, media of blood vessels and dartoic muscle of scrotum, vulvar, or nipple. It is classified into 3 types according to the site of origin, namely pilar leiomyoma, angioleiomyoma and genital leiomyoma. Leiomyoma of the nipple is the less kquent type of cutaneous leiomyoma. We report a case of cutaneous leiomyoma on the nipple in a 53-year-old man.

This study was undertaken to investigate the efficacy of 5% PABA cream using mouse ear swelling reaction(ESR). Mice were exposed to 100mJ/cm of UVB, five times a week for four weeks, on the both ventral aspect of the ear, with application of 5% PABA cream on the right ear. The results were as follows : 1. The intensity of ear swelling reaction of 5% PABA protected group was reduced greater than unproteeted group after the first 3 days of UUR. 2. The intensity of ear swelling reached at peak after 1 week of the ultraviolet radiation. Thereafter it has decreased gradually the following 4 weeks. The difference of ear swelling between the two groups was the greatest after 1 week, and the sunscreening efficacy of 5% PABA cream has remained persisted for 4 weeks. 3. The number of mice which have shown severe inflarnmatory response after ultravioiet radiation was more in unprotected group than that in 5% PABA protected group. 4. Determination of mouse ESR is considered a good method for the evaluation of longterm efficacy of sunscreen preparation.

Neurofibromatosis is a syndrome of multiple neurofibromas, abnormal skin pigmentation and certain bony abnormalities. Sometimes the growth of plexiform neurofibromatosis on the face or trunk is centripetal and usually involves the mediastinum and skull base. However, it is very rare that neurofibromatosis involves the trigeminal ganglion. Its encroachment around the foramina of the skull base may induce facial palsy or conductive hearing loss. The guiding principle in the treatment of generalized neurofibromatosis is a radical excision with preservation of vital structures and an immediate reconstruction of the bony skeleton and soft tissue defect. The authors experienced 4 cases of neurofibromatosis involving the trigeminal ganglion. All had trigeminal symptoms for 3 to 4 years. These were severe headache and intractable trigeminal neuralgia. Tumors in all 4 cases were spread in the centripetal type from extracranial neurofibromatosis. The facial nerve was affected in 4 cases. Malignat Schwannoma occurred in 1 case. Accurate diagnosis and assessments were necessary with CT, MRI art oomputer-aided simulation design. Intraoperative bleeding was minimal with hypotensive anesthesia. Surgical approach to the middle cranial fossa involved temporary removal of the zygomatic arch and TMJ disarticulation with downward traction of the mandible. Satisfactory results have been obtained far 3 to 7 years(mean 5 years) follow-up.
