Recurrent posterior shoulder instability is a debilitating condition that is relatively uncommon, but its diagnosis in young adults is increasing in frequency. Several predisposing factors for this condition have been identified, such as the presence of an abnormal joint surface orientation, an osteochondral fracture of the humeral head or glenoid cavity, and a postero-inferior capsuloligamentary deficit, but their relative importance remains poorly understood. Whilst, conservative treatment is effective in cases of hyperlaxity or in the absence of bone abnormality, failure of conservative treatment means that open or arthroscopic surgery is required. In general, soft-tissue reconstructions are carried out in cases of capsulolabral lesions in which bone anatomy is normal, whereas bone grafts have been required in cases where posterior bony Bankart lesions, glenoid defects, or posterior glenoid dysplasia are present. However, a consensus on the exact management of posterior shoulder instability is yet to be reached, and published studies are few with weak evidence. In our study, we report the reconstruction of the glenoid using iliac bone graft in a patient suffering recurrent posterior shoulder instability with severe glenoid bone defect.

Dermatologic treatment was greatly advanced when topical corticasteroids were introduced for the management of many inflammatory and pruritic dermatoses. Their use reduced or diminished mnst of the undiserable side effects which accompanied the systemic administration of these compounds. The good effects of topical application of hydrocortisone had been demonstration in the treatment of variaus dermatoses eg., atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, contact dermatitis etc. The halogenated derivatives followed and led to the trend to most of analogs now in use. Especially, fluocinolone acetonide cream greatly enhanced its therapeutic effectiveness in psoriasis, chronic discoid lupus erythematosus, pustular bacterid, granuloma and neurodermatitis circumscripta. But many side effects of topical corticosteroids such as steroid acne. Stria were developed and also fluorinated topical corticosteroids resulted in telangiectasia, purpura, atrophy in skin. Weber reported that strong topical corticosteroids eg.. Betamethasone valerate and fluocinolone acetonide were resulted in rosacealikc dermatitis and it was steadily increased. These adverse side effcts of topical corticosteroids, especially steroid acne, were indisputable argument in dermatologic field, for the view that this topical corticosterodis is used for cosmetics and treatment of acne vulgaris in our country. Since the strong corticosteroid tnpical preparation, the peculiar form acne, so called steroid acne, was steadily increased in our clinic. Behrman and goodman reported that acneform eruption induced by hormone was not associated with oiliness and there were but few comedone. Sullivan and Zeligman reported that the the acneform eruption due to adrenal corticaa 1 hormone was uniform in size, small papule and few pustule, usualIy erythematous base. There were also differential histologic feature. The most important difference is the normal apperance of sebaceous glands in acneform eruption due to corticosteroids contrast with hyperplasia in acne vulgaris. Abscess formation was more frequent and more extensive in acne vulgaris. Sutton Jr and Van Scott & MacCardle described that histologically, the major component in lesion of steroid acne was excessive keratinization of follicle. Castor and Baker demonstrated that topical application of corticosteroids resulted in decrease of sebaceous gIands, decrease of mitosis and increased cornification in epidermis. The present study investigated clinical case of the steroid acne, which are induced by topical application and systemic administration of corticosteroids and experimentally induced the steroid acne with the topical application of corticosteroid. And also clinical cases and experimentally induced steroid acne were compared with acne vulgaris. Material and method Subjects are 13 Patients of steroid acne induced by strong topical corticosteroid eg., fluocinolone acetonide, fluocortolone, dexamethaone, betamethasone valerate and 4 patients of steroid acne induced by systemic administration of corticosteroid eg., prednisolone and also 10 patients of acne vulgaris. Biopsy was performed from 13 patients of topical steroid acne, 3 patients of steroid acne induced by systemic administration of steroid and one patient of acne vulgaris. In order to induce steroid acne, experimentally, strong topical corticosteroid such as beta methasone valerate, fluocinolone acetonide and fluocortolone were applied on back. Comment and conclusion In Clinical feature, the steroid acne by topical application and systemic administration of corticosteroid and experimentally induced steroid acne had unique clinicall features, that showed absence of comedone and uniform sized follicular papule on deep seated erythematous scaly base. The topical steroid acne was distributed the region where were applied. But the eruption of the steroid acne induced by systemic administration of corticosteroids was distributed to face, neck, and scalp. Above findings are quite different form acne vulgaris. Histopathologically, the steroid acne induced by topical application and systemic administration of corticosterojds showed hypoplasia of sebaceous glands and excessive follicular keratinization. Occlusion of pilosebaceous opening by keratotic plug in severe case by long term application showed atrophy of epidermis and sparsity of sebaceous glands with hypokeratosis and parakeratosis. In experimentally induced steroid acne, it was definitely specific features which were absolutely identcall with above cinical steroid acne.

Erythroplasia of Queyrat is a precancerous lesion, usually located to glans penis or prepuce. It is characterized by a slowly developing, circumscribed, usually velvety and shiny patch. The etiology was unknown, but it is extremely rare in those circumcised in early infancy. It had been suggested that phimosis had some etiologic importance. The typical case of Erythroplasia of Queyrat is presented. A 46 year old man had 4 months history of dark-brownish pea sized maculopapular rashes on sulcus of glans penis and prepuce associated with mild itching, which was increased in number day by day. He had a phimosis. On examination, there are sharply defined, slightly elevated, pea sized dark-brownish maculopapular rashes over erythematous infiltrated base on sulcus of glans penis and prepuce, which have moist and velvety appearance. A biopsy was performed from sulcus of glans penis. Histopathologically, there was acanthosis, with in epidermis many cells are vacuolated and showed individual cell keratiinization. Epithelial cell showed marked atypia, variation in nuclear size and there was intercellular, intracellular edema. The lesion was treaterd with topical application of 5% 5-fluorouracil twice daily 2 weeks and thereafter for 4 weeks. 2 months after treatment, no erythroplastic lesion was found and 3 months after treatment, rebiopsy was perforrned which showed marked improvement histopathologically.

This clinical study of nine patients presented Disseminated Superficial Actinic Porokeratosis (DSAP) as a distinctive and recognizable entity characterized by multiple uniformly small, irregular marginated, keratotic plug with atrophic center developing during second or third decade of life on sun exposed area of skin. Six of nine patients had DSAP, which was inherited as autosomal dominant trait. The patient's father, two brothers and two sisters were known to have same skin lesions. Of nine patients, five were female and four were male. Eight patients were developed DSAP lesions during second decade of life and other one was third dcade of life. Three patients had pruritus. In alI patients, lesions were developed bilaterally over sun exposed area but was not always symmetrical. The number of lesion was multiple in all patients. The greatest number of lesions were found on distal part of extremities, neck, face, upper portion of anterior chest and back.

The case of a 30 year old man is described, in whom mycosis Fungoides was originating from nose and followed by tumor stage of Mycosis Fungoides on skin. In January 1970, the patient leveloped nasal tumor, when he was n at E.N.T. department of Severance Hospital. At that time a biopsy of nasal tumor demonstrated only a non-specific inflammatory cell infiltrated mass. He received radiation therapy (Co 60) with satisfadory suppression of mass and resulted in right nasal septal deviation. Jn December 1970, thumb sized painful non-tender, movable mass developed on right supraclaviular area. In August 1971, thumb sized painful, tender, movable mass appeared at right posterolateral aspect of neck, which was excied and removed at local clinic. But excised wound was not healed and the mass was enlarged. One month after above lesion, pea sized same mass developed. On physical examination, there were 4*5cm round, erythematous, painful, tender, granulomatous ulceration mass on right postero-lateral aspect of neck and also same mass on postero-inferior site of above lesion. Two times of biopsy was done and it interpreted as tumor stage of Mycosis Fungoids. Treatment included radiation therapy with Co 60 (200r/day, total 6,000r), prednisolone 40mg/day and antibiotics. There has been good response 1 month after radiation therapy and mass is diminished in size and would begin to heal.

Over twenty per cent of adult knees have a synovial plica which always has possibility of changes into pathologic synovial plica symptomes and signs resembling those of other common internal derangement of the knee joint. Especially the young active patient who has a history of trauma to the knee should once be suspected incarcerated synovial plica not only the possibility of internal derangement. Four cases of symptomatic synovial plica experienced by authors are reported with available references.
