We experienced a rare case of sinonasal sarcoidosis initially presenting as nasal cavitary mass. When the clinical course was different from that of typical tuberculosis, physician should think the possibility of sarcoidosis, and re-biopsy or retrospective review of pathological findings might be helpful.

Although the incidence of intracranial tuberculosis in children have been decreased with development of antituberculous therapy, mortality rate is still high as formerly if the diagnosis and treatment was not performed early. Authors report a case of a 5-month old male with multiple intracranial tuberculoma who have been accompanied by miliary tuberculosis and tuberculous meningitis. He was hospitalized at the pediatric department of Wonkwang University Hospital with mild fever and persistent cough. The brain MRI was performed and showed that there were multiple intracranial micronodular densities, perinodular edema and diffuse leptomeningeal enhancement which were disappeared completely after antituberculosis chemotherapy for 12 months and he had completely recovered without sequale.

Lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LG) is a rare B-cell type angiocentric lymphoproliferative disease that can progress to extranodal lymphoma with high mortality. It most commonly affects the lungs, although extrapulmonary systems, including the brain and skin, can also be involved. LG in pediatric patients has been very rarely reported in the literature with limited imaging features. Herein, we report a pediatric case of LG involving the lung and brain with characteristic imaging findings.

Laryngeal granuloma following endotracheal anesthesia was reported as traumatic granuloma of the larynx by Clausen in 1932. Thereafter Harrison reported that 4% of the intubated cases developed larynx and upper respiratory tract injuries and 1% of the above mentioned injured cases later developed laryngeal granuloma with symptoms including voice change and even dyspnea in severe cases. The endotracheal intubation has been wedely used for general anesthesia or patency of the air way .and the reported cases of the laryngal granuloma Fig. 5. as its complication have been increased in number worldwidely. For a year from March 1975 to Feb. 1976, the authors have experienced the nine cases of laryngeal granuloma in our department and this is the report of clinical findings on these cases along with literature review.

후두삽관육아종은 기도내삽관에 의해서 생기는 합병증의 하나로 삽관에 의한 후두손상으로 생긴다. 이 병은 여성에서 호발하며 특히 산부인과 적인 수술과 관련이 많으며 이중 제왕절개술이 제일 많은 원인으로 보고되고 있다. 그동안 산발적인 증례보고가 있어왔으나, 근번 한국에서의 전반적인 임상 양상을 고찰하고자, 그 동안 국내에 보고되었던 모든 문헌과 본 저자가 경험했던 22례를 포함한 총 167례를 후향적으로 조사, 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. (중략)

The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship of radiographic lesion size, gender, age of patients and radiographic character to the diagnosis of periapical cyst and granuloma. The data was collected from 187 periapical lesions of 167 patients who undergone apical surgery at Department of Conservative Dentistry, Seoul National University Dental Hospital from 2003 to 2005. The lesion were surgically removed and send for biopsy to the Oral Pathology Laboratory. From the initial radiograph, lesion size was calculated using $PiViewSTAR^{(R)}$ (INFINITT, Korea) program. The obtained data were statistically evaluated using SPSS (p<0.05). The result were as followings: 1. From 187 biopsy samples, the incidence of periapical cyst was 28.34% and granuloma was 65.24%. 2. There was a significant correlation between periapical cyst and the size of radiographic lesion (p<0.01). 3. There were no significant correlations between age, gender, location of lesion and the final diagnosis (p>0.05). 4. There was a significant correlation between the non-demarcation of the lesion and the incidence of periapical granuloma (p<0.01).

동물원에서 사육중인 검독수리(Aquila chrysaetos)가 구토중세를 보이다 약 111여 일간물과 사료를 절폐하였고 전신적 삭쇄, 안구에는 염증성 삼출물로 덮여 실명, 한쪽날개가 처지며 호흡곤란으로 폐사하여 부검의뢰 되었다. 부검 소견상 폐와 기낭에 회백색의 육아종 성 결절이 다수 존재하였다. 기낭은 비후되어 있었고 일부는 균사가 자라 청색을 띄는 병변도 관찰되었다. 병리조직학적으로 병변은 육아종성 괴사였으며, 병소에는 곰팡이의 균사와 소포 가 관찰되여 곰팡이성 폐렴과 기낭염이였다. 병면의 배양 결과 Aspergillus Fumigatus로 동정 되었다. 본 예는 맹금류인 검독수리에서의 Aspergillus감염 중계이다.

Background : Histological analysis of tuberculosis shows a spectrum of findings, from well formed granulomatous inflammation with few bacilli in patient with normal immune response to M. tuberculosis to poorly formed granulomatous inflammation with many bacilli in patient with defective immune response. To evaluate the degree of immune response to M. tuberculosis, we studied the histologic features, including the presence of acid fast bacilli(AFB) in lymph node of patients with cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis, and compared them with clinical characteristics. Methods : We reviewed the histologic features of 33 cases of cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis and processed the excised nodes for auramine-rhodamine staining to detect AFB. The AFB positivity in tissue was compared with the histologic features(degree of granuloma formation, presence of caseation necrosis, presence of neutrophilic infiltration) and clinical characteristics(lymph node size, duration of symptom, presence of local symptom or radiologic evidence of pulmonary tuberculosis). Results : 1) The mean age at diagnosis was 42.4 years, and male to female ratio was 1:4.5. 2) Histologically, all cases showed well formed granuloma and variable degrees of caseation necrosis, and 39% of the cases showed neutrophilic infiltration in the granulomatous inflammation. 3) AFB were confirmed in 52% of the cases, and they were found extracellularly and at the periphery of caseation necrosis. 4) There was no association between AFB positivity and histological features or clinical characteristics. Conclusion : Cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis showed well formed granulomatous inflammation with caseation necrosis, and there was no association between AFB positivity in the tissue and histological or clinical characteristics.
