1.Hypertrichosis in a Woman During Treatment with 3% Topical Minoxidil.
Annals of Dermatology 2000;12(1):71-73
Hypertrichosis has been frequently observed during the oral administration of the potent antihypertensive agent, minoxidil. However, hypertrichosis is uncommon after treatment with topical minoxidil for alopecia, and usually occurs in areas close to the site of the application. We describe a 52-year-old woman with diffuse facial hypertrichosis. She developed abnormal hypertrichosis while applying the optimal dose of 3% topical minoxidil for 2 months for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia.

3.A Case of Multiple Bowen's Disease with Small-Cell Lung Cancer.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1999;37(6):813-815
Bowen's disease represents an intraepidermal squamous cell carcinoma and can be associated with internal malignancy. Internal cancers originate predominantly from respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary tracts. A 71-year-old man presented with erythematous crusted plaques with emsion on the right lower abdomen, left elbow, and left 4th finger. He had been diagnosed with small-cell lung cancer 17 months ago. The histopathologic features of the skin lesions showed Bowens disease. The abdominal lesion was removed by surgical excision and the lesions on the elbow and finger were treated by topical 5-FU application.

4.Unusual Type of Talar Body Fracture: A Case Report
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1989;24(6):1750-1753
Fractures of the body of the talus are extremely rare, constituting only about 0.1 percent of all fractures (Coltart 1952). Consequently, the prognostic problems have so far been elucidated only on the basis of few reports in the literature. The authors experienced an unusual type of the shearing fracture of the talar body with total disocation that the talar body was lying upside down in the ankle joint. Satisfactory results were obtained after follow up period of 20 months and some are reporting this case with bibliographic reviews.

We describe herein a case of tick bite ocurring to a 23-year-old man who has a characteristic lesion clinically and histopathologically. The tick(Ixodes sp.) was still attached to the brownish and erythematous, indurated skin of the scrotum. The engorged tick which was carefully removed from the skin with a scalpel was 8.7mm in length and 5. 5 mm in width. Histopathologically, characteristic amorphous eosinophilic materigl is deposited around a round space where the hypostorne of the tick was inserted. Heavy inflammatory cell infiltratton in the mid and lower dermis is composed mainly of neutrophils and eosinophils. A certain area of the lower dermis shows edema and capillary dilatation along with the mixed inflammatory cell infiltration, TVide excision of the indurated lesion including the tick was done. The clinical and hsitopathological findings of the tick bite was discussed.

Edwards syndrome is first introduced by Edwards and characterized by facial anomalies, multiple cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, urogenital, and skeletal malformations. It results from triplication of part or all of chromosome 18 in some or all of the patient's cells. It has an incidence of 1 in 4,500 live births or less and short life expectancy. Recently we experienced a case of 3-day-old female new born infant with this syndrome. Post mortem examination showed progeric face with prominent occiput, large flabby ears, microphthalmia, and micrognathia, bilateral clenched hands with flexion contraction of middle fingers, and bilateral rockerbottom feet. Internal examination revealed horseshoe kidney, esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula, two accessory spleens, and multiple cardiac anomalies. A trisomy 18 was confirmed by the cytogenetic study.

8.A Case of Hair Structure Abnormality Associated with Iron Deficiency Anaemia.
Hyun Jin KIM ; Woo Young SIM ; Won Soo LEE
Annals of Dermatology 2003;15(2):89-91
Iron deficiency has been discussed as an etiologic factor in diffuse alopecia. Although the mechanism of alopecia related to iron deficiency remains unknown, the diagnosis is confirmed if hair loss ceases with iron administration. However, hair structure abnormalities due to iron deficiency are less known. We report a case of hair structure abnormality associated with iron deficiency anaemia. The hair structure abnormality was a fusiform and expanded node of the hair shaft. The hair loss ceased and the abnormality was corrected with iron administration.
