abnormal findings were found on physical examinations except the skin nodules. No abnormal
findings were found on physical examinations except the skin nodules. No abnormal cells
were found on peripheral blood smear and skin punch biopsy.

abdominal distension, hepatosplenomegaly and multiple non-tender skin ncdules which was
seemed to be increased in number.
