A retrospective study of 672 sampled records of patients of a major institutions providing Chinese traditional medicine in Singapore reveals that 97.3% of the patients were Chinese, with a dialect group distribution following closely that of the Singapore Chinese. The male-to-female patient ratio was 1.0:1.13. There were fewer patients of the pediatric age group and more of those from age 30 upwards. Some 43% of the patients sought treatment for ''infective'' and ''internal, emotional and weakness'' diseases. The prevalent disease conditions seen among patients from the different age groups are also analyzed and discussed in this paper.

Schwannomas of the paranasal sinus are uncommon. Less than 4% of schwannomas involve the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, even less in the pediatric age group. A case of schwannoma arising in maxillary sinus in a 2.5-year-old Chinese boy is reported. The basis for discussion of this case is the exceptional rarity of sinonasal schwannoma in pediatric patients.

Disorders of color variation can be localized or generalized, congenital or acquired, acute or chronic. Among the various causes of generalized skin darkening encountered in the pediatric age group, acquired universal melanosis aka Carbon Baby Syndrome is an uncommon hypermelanotic condition, with a histologic appearance of extensive epidermal melanization. The authors report one such case of a 4-year old boy with progressive darkening of skin starting at the age of 1 year and involving the entire body surface in the absence of any other systemic alterations. The disease prevalence, etiology, mechanism and prognosis are still unknown.
