연구배경 임플란트에 관한 전통적인 연구들은 주로 임플란트 매식체와 골조직간의 결합에 중점을 두어왔다. 최근 임플란트의 심미적 관점에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 임플란트 주위 연조직의 재건 및 유지에 대한 연구들이 많이 이루어지고 있다. 이번 연구는 임플란트 주위 연조직이 임플란트 지대주의 모양에 따라 어떻게 반응하는지 알아보고자 한다. 연구방법 및 재료 2 마리의 성견을 대상으로, 먼저 하악의 모든 소구치를 발치하고, 3개월의 치유 기간 후에 각 4분악에 실험에 사용된 3개의 다른 모양의 지대주를 가진 임플란트를 식립하였다: (1) 위로 벌어진 모양의 지대주 (2) 안쪽으로 오목하게 좁아진 지대주 (3) 평행한 모양의 지대주. 식립 순서는 무작위로 하였으며, 3개월 후 실험동물을 희생하고 조직 표본을 얻었다. 조직 표본은 광학 현미경을 통해 관찰하고, 상피, 결합조직, 전체 연조직의 수직적 거리를 측정하여 비교하였다. 연구 결과 이번 연구에서 임플란트 주위의 연조직을 측정한 결과, 접합 상피는 1.21 ${\pm}$ 0.47 mm, 결합조직은 1.16 ${\pm}$ 0.39 mm, 전체 연조직 두께는 2.37 ${\pm}$ 0.47 mm로 이전의 연구들과 비슷한 결과를 보였다. 지대주 주위의 연조직 중 결합조직이 많은 부위에서는 여러 주행 방향의 교원 섬유들이 관찰되었다. 그 중에서 결합조직이 차단막으로써의 역할을 할 수 있도록 하는 원형으로 주행하는 교원 섬유들이 모든 지대주 모양에서 관찰되었다. 특히 오목하게 좁아진 모양을 가진 지대주에서는 오목하게 파인 부분으로 많은 원형으로 주행하는 교원 섬유들이 관찰되었다. 오목한 모양의 지대주는 다른 모양의 지대주에 비해서 측면 방향의 연조직 두께가 두꺼웠다. 특히 위로 벌어진 모양의 지대주에 비해서 두꺼운 연조직을 확보할 수 있었으며, 내부에 많은 결합조직 교원 섬유들을 관찰할 수 있었다. 결론 이번 연구에서 오목한 모양의 지대주가 연조직을 두껍게 유지하고, 많은 원형으로 주행하는 교원 섬유들을 확보할 수 있었다. 이를 통해 오목한 여태의 지대주가 연조직 유지에 더 유리하고, 따라서 심미적인 부위에서 연조직의 퇴축을 예방하는데 더 유리하다고 할 수 있다.

Soft tissue tumor classifications should be an important part of radiology, oncology and, for clinicians and pathologists, they provide diagnostic instruction and prognostic guidelines. In soft tissue tumor classification systems, the World Health Organization (WHO) classifications have become dominant, enabled by the timely publication of new 'blue books' which included detailed text and numerous good illustrations. The new WHO classification of soft tissue tumors was introduced in 2002. Because the classification represents a broad consensus concept, it has gained widespread acceptance around the globe. This article reviews the changes which were introduced the adipose tumors, fibroblastic/myofibroblastic tumors, so-called fibrohistiocytic tumors, smooth muscle tumors, pericytic tumors and skeletal muscle tumors which have been first recognized or properly classified during the past decade.

This is a rare case of cerebral metastasis from malignant fibrous histiocytoma(MFH) of the soft tissue. A 62-year-old man underwent craniotomy for resection of multiple intracerebral masses under the impression of metastatic brain tumor with unknown primary site. Preoperative investigation failed to detect any extracranial lesion. At six months after the operation and whole brain radiotherapy, right shoulder mass was detected to grow and excised. Specimen from the brain and shoulder lesions revealed identical pathological findings of malignant fibrous histiocytoma except existence of glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP)-positive cells only in brain lesions. Palliative radiotherapy was performed for subsequently developing metastatic lesions in skeletal system. At twelve months after initial diagnosis recurrent lesion at right shoulder was detected and chemotherapy is given. This case is unique because metastatic brain lesion from MFH is rare and also cerebral metastasis as an initial manifestaion of MFH has not been reported before. Another important finding is that there was expression of GFAP only in brain lesions but not in extracranial primary site lesion. Although the presence of GFAP-positive cells is thought as one of characteristic histological findings of primary intracrainal MFH, our observation supports the hypothesis that GFAP-positive cells in primary intracranial MFH may be nonneoplastic astrocytes secondarily involved by MFH.

Desmoplastic fibroma(DF) is a rare neoplasm of the bone, and is histologically benign but locally aggressive disease. A total of nine cases of DF involving skull have been reported in the literature, and among these eight are females. In this report, the clinical findings and histopathology of a case with DF of the skull in a male patient is presented with a review of the literature with an emphasis on treatment modalities. A 21-year-old man presented with headache. CT scan revealed a solitary and lytic skull lesion without brain invasion. DF was confirmed by histological evaluation. On immunohistochemical staining of the tumor was negative for estrogen or progesterone receptors. After total resection of tumor with wide surgical margin, there was no recurrence during the 35 months of follow-up period. Although longer follow up period maybe needed, treatment of this type of tumor with complete resection of tumor tissue along with a wide margin may provide long disease-free state compare to the high recurrence rates in DF of other sites.

Background : It is well known that the prevalence of lung cancer is higher in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients than in the general population. This high prevalence is explained by the concept of 'scar carcinoma'. There have been several reports on the prevalence of histologic typo of lung cancer in IPF with conflicting results. Despite of the high smoker rate in almost all previous reports, none considered the smoking history of patients. Therefore we performed a separate studies on fibrosis associated lung cancer and smoking associated lung cancer. The purpose of this study is to investigate the proportion of lung cancer in IPF that is fibrosis associated and to determine the most common histologic type in fibrosis associated lung cancer in IPF. Method : A retrospective review of medical records and radiologic studies was performed for cases of lung cancer with IPF. We investigated smoking history, sequence of diagnosis of lung cancer and IPF, histologic type of lung cancer and the cancer location, especially whether the location is associated with fibrosis. To evaluate the proportion of fibrous associated lung cancer, the lung cancer in IPF were categorized according to the presence of fibrosis at cancer location. Results : Fifty seven patients were subjects for this analysis. Six (11%) cases were diagnosed as lung cancer during follow-up for IPF, and both diseases were diagnosed simultaneously in the others. Ninety four percent of patients were smokers and the average smoking amount was 47.1$\pm$21.9 pack-year. Among the patients with IPF and lung cancer, 42(80.8%) cases were considered as "fibrosis associated". The remainder was "not fibrosis associated" and probably was due to smoking etc. Although the most frequent histologic type was squamous cell carcinoma as a whole, adenocarcinoma was the prominent histologic type in "fibrosis associated lung cancer." Conclusion : Considering the proportion of "fibrosis not associated lung cancer" in the patients with IPF and lung cancer, significant proportion of lung cancer in IPF may not be fibrosis induced. This may influence the distribution of histologic type of lung cancer in IPF.

Benign fibrous hitiocytoma of the infrapatella fat pad is very rare. It has usually do not induced a pain or a symptom because it was located deep tissue. So it was very difficult to be diagnosed. We experienced a case of deep benign fibrous histiocytoma in a 53-year-old woman. It was diagnosed by MRI. Diagnostic arthroscopic procedure was performed and the lesion was completely resected by open excision. We report a rare case of benign fibrous hitiocytoma presenting as an intra-articular tumor in the joint causing pain and limitation of movement.

Desmoplastic fibroma of bone is an extremely rare tumor that was first described by Jaffe in 1958. It histologically resembles the desmoid tumor of soft tissue. It is known as locally aggressive tumor but we experienced definitely benign and resembling simple bone cyst radiographically. We report a case of desmoplastic fibroma of bone and it should be included in the differential diagnosis list of any lytic bone lesion. The radiograph, MR imaging features, radiological and pathological differential diagnosis of the case are described, and literatures are reviewed.

At OPD follow-up in December 1998, chest x-ray of a 42-year-old female showed a solit ary pulmonary nodule at a superior basal segment in the right lower lobe. After percut aneous transthoracic needle aspiration failure, wedge resection of the superior basal segment of lower lobe in right lung was performed for diagnosis and therapy. Three years ago, she had received surgery to remove a mass in the left buttock. The mass was pathologically diagnosed as malignant fibrous histiocytoma. She subsequently received 4500 rad radiotherapy for 35 days. Pathology confirmed metastatic malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the lung.

Aggressive fibromatosis is a rare soft tissue tumor with locally invasive and infiltrative characteristics. The mechanism of this invasive nature was not reported until now. Mutations or reduction of PTEN, tumor suppressor gene, in cancer tissues, have been found to be associated with invasiveness and metastatic properties of cancer cells. To know the pattern of expression of PTEN in aggressive fibromatosis, we analysed the expression of PTEN with immunohistochemical stain and immunoblotting. PTEN was homogeneously expressed in the normal musculoaponeurotic tissues, but absent or very faint in tissues of patients with aggressive fibromatosis as evidenced by western blot analysis and immunohistochemical examinations. Although the meaning of decreased PTEN expression in aggressive fibromatosis is not certain, it might be involved in the growth of the aggressive fibromatosis, and associated with phenotype of aggressive fibromatosis.

Desmoplastic fibroma of bone is rare, involves usually long bones, and histologically resemblance to the desmoid tumor of soft tissue. It is benign, but aggressive locally. Recurrence rate is high when treated with simple curettage and bone graft. Moreover, malignant transformation of desmoplastic fibroma with recurrence has been reported very rarely, and then it make us review again whether previous tumor probably was low grade malignant tumor. We report a surgically proven case of osteosarcoma arising from desmoplastic fibroma. A 17 years old male had been treated for a desmoplastic fibroma of the proximal tibia with curettage and bone graft. But after 11 years, the patient showed recurrence accompanying malignant transformation with osteosarcoma. This is very rare case of an osteosarcoma arising in a desmoplatic fibroma of the proximal tibia.
