Subungual exostosis is not a true exostosis, but an outgrowth of normal bone tissue, which is traumatic disputedly in causative factor, involving mainly the great toe. We experienced a case which a hard nodule, l. 0 crn in diameter, of the great toe of the left foot, developed in a 24-year-old woman.

Two Cases of Keratosis Palmaris et Plantaris / 대한피부과학회지

We described here-in a 36-year-old male patient (case 1) with a severe form of keratosis palmaris et plantaris(Thost-Unna type) which was diffuse hyperkeratosis with hyperhidrosis on the entire surface of the palms and soles. His son, 8-year- old boy, showed symmetrical distribution of hyperkeratotic patches on the inner sides of both great toes(case 2). Therefore, it was suggested this genodermatosis occured in two generations of a family. The biopsy taken from the right palm of case 1 showed features of epidermal hyperplasia with hyperkeratosis, hypergranulosis and acanthosis. We tried the oral Vit. A therapy(50,000 unit, daily) in case 2. The hyperkeratotic lesions became slightly improved in 4 months after therapy.

Syphilis Prevalence in Teagu Hope Village / 대한피부과학회지

Serologic tests for syphilis, including VDRL and TPHA tests, and Physical examination were carried out on 1, 605 subjects who lived in Taegu Hope Village, a social welfare center, from April, 198R to May, 1985. We prepared this study comparing with previous reports for healthy individuals and prostitutes. The results were as follows, The reactive rate of VDRL. qualitative test was 11. 6% in total, 10. 3%, in men and l3. 5%. in women. The reactive rates of VDRL. qualitative tests were highest in 7 th decade as 28, 7% and followed by 6 th decade as 16. 7% the decacile as 16. 0% 8 th decade as 14,3% 4th decade as 8. 8% and 3rd decade as 5. 9%, 3 In ]Hg sero-positive subjects, VDRL quantitative tests were done, and 35. 5% were reacted with 1: 8 or high and 29. 0% had one or more syphilitic lesions. 4 In 54 subjects who had one or more syphilitic lesions, 19 had chancres, 17 had alopecia syphilitica, 7 had rnaculopapular syphilid, 7 had condylomata lata. 3 had papular syphilid, and 1 had maculopapular syphilid and alopecia syphilitica. The biological false positive rate was 10. 1,4 in 138 VDRL reactive subjects, using 1;he TPHA test standard.

A Case of Fibroadenoma Arising in Accessory Axillary Breast Tissue / 대한피부과학회지

A 25-year-old woman had a 2-month history of a 1.7 x 1.4cm sized lirm nodule, which was deeply located in 5.0 x 4.0cm sized soft fatty tissue on the right axilla.
