Down syndrome is the most, well known autosomal trisomy and e large number of abnormal skin features have been reported to occur in patients with Down syndromir. including syringoma. Syringomas occur with increased frequency in patients with Down syringoma, usually limited to the region around the eyes. but few cases of eruptive syringoma with Down syndrome have been reported. We reported the case of familial eruptive syringoma in a 13 years old patient with Down syndrome.

Hydroa Vacciniforme is a rare, chronic, photosensitivity disorder witli onset in childhood that is characterized by recurrent, discrete vesiculation, necrosis and vacciniform scarring limited to sun exposed skin. We report a case of hydroa vacciniforme associated with ocular inwlvment in which vesicles could be induced only with single MED exposure to UVA.

Livedo vasculitis clinically shows purpuric papules and recurrent ulcers in the lower extremities, mainly on the ankles, leaving characteristic scars called atrophie blanche after the healing of the ulcers. Its characteristic histopathologic features and clinical evolution indicate that the common pathologic event is occlusion of vessels in the middle and deep dermis. In Korean literature, seven cases of this disease have been reported but the response of the treatment was not, satisfactory. We report three cases of livedo vasculitis cleared by combined ther by of acetylsalicylic acid, dipyridamole and nifedipine, which has not been reported in Korean literatur.

Skin necrosis is a rare complication of heparin administration that is usually localized to injection sites. We report a case of skin necrosis that was caused by minidose intraarterial infusion of porcine heparin which had been used in a touch to prevent coagulation in percutaneous intraarterial cannula. The skin necrosis appeared 35 days after starting heparin use.

Unilateral nevoid telangiectasia(UNT) is a rare disorder and is characterized by superficial telangiectatic lesions distributed along the dermatomes unilaterally and usually on the upper part of the body. It has been said to be related to increased estrogen receptors in the involved skin. The lesions may be congenital or acquired.Acquired cases are typically associated with physiologic conditions such as pregnancy, puberty, hormonal therapy or cirrhosis, but the condition is also described in alcoholism without cirrhosis, carcinoma metastatic to the liver, and in hepatitis C. We present two cases of UNT in a 26-year-old man with heavy alcoholism and in a puberta1 16-year-old girl.

A clinical and radiological observation was mde on 167 cases of urolithiasis among the number of 150 patientsduring 1 year and 6 months from June, 1981 to Nov. 1982. The results were summerized as follows. 1. There were 101man and 49 women, a ratio of 2:1. The ages of the patients ranged from 2 to 74 years, showing the highestincidence in 31 to 60 years(68.1%). 2. Locational distributions of urolithiasis were 80 cases (47.9%) in theureter, 66 cases(39.5%) in the kidney, 11 cases (6.5%) in the urethra and 10 cases (5.9%) in the bladder. 3. Amongthe 66 cases of renal stone, pelvis stone was 55 cases (83.3%) with staghorn types in 23 cases(34.8%), andcalyceal stone was 11 cases(16.6%). 4. The location of ureteral stone was 47.5% in lower, 40% in upper ureter and12.5% in mid-ureter. 5. The location of urethra stone was 82% in the anterior urethra and 18% in the posteriorurethra. 6. The chief complain of urolithiasis was flank pain in 59.2%, gross hematuria in 20.3%, renal colic in13.1% ,dysuria in 8.3%, nausea and vomiting in 4.7%, and sudden stoppage of urine stream in 3.5%. 7. Onurinalysis, gross hematuria was found in 54.4%, pyuria in 28.7%, bacteriuria in 23.3%, microscopic hematuria in18.5% and normal in 7.1%. 8. The size of urinary stone was 0.6-2.0cm in length in 105 cases(62.8%). 9. On I.V.P.study of renal stones(66 cases), mild and moderate hydronephrotic changes were detected in38 kidneys(57.5%), andthe relationsip between the urinary stasis and renal stone size was relatively good. 10. On I.V.P. study ofureteral stones(80cases), mild to severe hydronephrotic changes were detected in 64 kidneys(80%). 11. On K.U.B.film, paralytic ileus was found in 25 cases (14.9%). 12. Among the urinary stones, the radiolucent stones weredetected in 8 cases (4.7%). 13. Urinary stones diappeared in 11 cases (6.5%) spontaneously or medical treatment.

Infantile myofibromatosis is an uncornmon, benign, self-limiting, localized or generalized process, probably of hamartomatous origin, which consists to a large degree of cells having the characteristics of myofibroblasts and sometimes of pericytes. Both solitary and multicentric forms occur. Most lesions are present at birth or in early infancy, and some are familial in origin. A female newborn presented with a firm, round, red colored, 3 x 3 cm sized tumor with central necrosis on the left chest. Histological examination revealed well-circumscribed nodules consisting of short bundles of plump, spindle shaped cells displaying staining characteristics intermediate between fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells. The tumor was immunoreactive for actin but did not stain for desmin. A Follow-up examination at the age of 3 months revealed a moderate degree of spontaneous regressior of the lesion.
