Pulmonary mucinous cystic tumor of borderline malignancy is very rare and distinguished from bronchogenic cyst or adenocarcinoma of bronchoalveolar type. We present the case of a 63-year-old woman with a right lower lobe mass, found by chest radiographs. The preoperative diagnosis was made as bronchoalveolar cancer by percutaneous needle aspiration of mass. Right lower lobectomy and lymph node dissections were performed. The lobectomy specimen contained variable sized multilocular cystic mucous masses, filled with mucus. Microscopically, the cystic masses are lined with tall columnar mucinous epithelium but some area contains focal cellular atypism and bronchoalveolar cancer like foci. This foci are lack of cellular atypism consistent with bronchoalveolar cancer cell. After lobectomy the patient has remained free from recurrence and distant metastasis for following 12 months period. Pulmonary mucinous cystic tumor of borderline malignancy appears to have a favorable prognosis and should be distinguished from other lung neoplasms.

Purpose: To suggest an accurate diagnosis and treatment of infiltrating intramuscular lipoma by analysis of the clinical, biological, radiological and pathological features. Materials & Methods: 20 patients who treated at our hospital for infiltrating intramuscular lipoma from 1998. to 2001 were selected for this study. Mean age was 45.8 years old. Four were male and eight female. All cases were checked preoperative radiographs, MRI and diagnosed by biopsy. The methods of surgical treatment included excision of tumor and peripheral tissue. We assessed the recurrence by follow up. Results: Tumors located in upper limbs 5 cases, lower limbs 3 cases, abdomen 3 cases, gluteal region 1 case. In preoperative radiographs, infiltrating intramuscular type were 7 cases. In 11 cases, tumors were completely excied with peripheral tissue. 1 cases was incompletely excised because it was very huge mass and infiltrated lung. Encapsulated tumors were 3cases and uncapsulated tumors 9 cases. There were no recurrence excepts 1 case that was infiltrated lung. Conclusion: Infiltrating intramuscular lipoma was wrongly diagnosed as well differentiated liposarcoma. To increase the rate of correct diagnosis, preoperative radiographs, MRI and pathologic diagnosis were performed. Careful wide excision is necessary to prevent the recurrence.

Pyknodysostosis(PKND) is a rare sclerosing bone disorder that has an autosomal recessive trait, also known as Toulouse-Lautrec syndrome. Deficiency of the cathepsin enzyme K in the osteoclasts of PKND patients results in continuous endosteal bone deposits without osteoclastic resorption or remodeling. This causes a generalized increase in sclerosis and fragility of bones. Osteomyelitis in the mandible and recurrent fracture of the long bones are characteristic complicatons of PKND. The patients present typical features of PKND, such as short stature under 150 cm, open cranial suture and fontanelle, club-shaped phalanges, and underdevelopment of midface. This is a case of a 7-year-old girl with PKND, who visited our clinic with the chief complaint of anterior Open-bite and generalized crowding. The patient had been diagnosed as PKND by an orthopedist and manifested characteristic clinical and radiographic features, such as open cranial suture and fontanelle, obtuse madibular gonial angle, frontal and occipital bossing, grooved palate, club-shaped phalanges, and short stature. Orthodontic treatment was not considered because patients with PKND show abnormal bone resorption and remodeling. Instead, removal of deciduous teeth near exfoliation and TFA were performed, and periodic check-up is planned to maintain good oral hygiene.

The Graf stabilization has been introduced in treating lumbar spinal disorder associated with posterior instability. This study reviewed some problems of the Graf instrumentation as a soft stabilizer. The purpose of this study is to analyse the problems of the soft stabilization in spinal instability. We reviewed 145 cases which were operative treatment using the Graf instrument for lumbar spinal disorder associated with posterior instability at our department from May, 1991 to Dec, 1995. The mean follow up periods was 29 months ranging from 24 months to 6 years 8 months. Of the 145 cases, 22 cases were showed the problem. The diagnostic method were simple x-ray, flexion-extension lateral stress view and CT scan. Results were as follows: Adjacent segmental instability was 10 cases(6.9%), disc space narrowing was 8 cases(5.5%), screw loosening was 3 cases(2.1%) and breakage of the Graf band was 1 case(0.6%). The problems of the soft stabilization were adjacent segmental instability, disc space narrowing, screw loosening, and breakage of the Graf band. But the rate of adjacent segmental instability and disc space narrowing was lower than other lumbar spinal instrumentation.

Objective : Atypical and malignant meningiomas(AM, MM) are known to be rare and show aggressive behavior. Limited data are available concerning the clinical features, effectiveness of surgical removal and role of radiation therapy with AM, MM. The authors report our experience of AM, MM, with respect to clinical features. Methods : Twenty-four cases of AM and 28 cases of MM, who were operated between 1988 and 1999 were retro-spectively studied review of medical records and radiological findings. These were compared with control group of 24 cases of menigiomas manifestating usual clinical course, which are selected arbitrarily among operative cases between Apr. 1999 and Dec. 1999. Mean follow-up periods were 26(1-91) months for AM and 23(1-62) for MM. Authors analyzed the prognostic factors for survival, and statistical analysis were accomplished by Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. Results : Differences of clinical features between control groups and these atypical and malignant meningioma group were not significant. However, the location of MM was frequent in non-basal area(p<0.01). In AM, there were 4 patients of recurrence, and 3 patients of mortality. Among mortality cases, only one patient died of tumor progression, the other patients died of other causes. The survival at 2 year and 5 year in this group were 88% and 74% respectively, and in MM, 11 patients died due to tumor progression and 2 had spinal metastasis. The survival at 2 year and 5 year were 72% and 20%, respectively. For extent of resection, total removal(Simpson grade 1 or 2) was less often achieved in MM compared with AM(50% vs. 83%). Extent of resection of tumor and postoperative radiation therapy did not affect survival in both AM, MM. Conclusions : Clinical behavior of AM showed more benign than that of MM. Prognostic factor for survival is not related extent of resection of tumor and postoperative radiation therapy. However, further investigation with long-term follow-up and additional cases is mandatory.
One hundred and sixty patients had reconstructive surgery of the lower extremity with the microsurgical technique at the department of orthopaedic surgery, Yonsei University College of Medicine from 1982 to 1989. There were ninty-six cases of men and sixty-four cases of women, in which the mean age was 23.8 years. These patients were followed for 21.4 months. The causes were 114 cases from traffic accidents, 18 cases from tumors, 12 cases from machinery injuries, 5 cases from burns, 2 cases from explosive injuries, and 9 cases from other reasons. There were 55 cases of scapular flap, 35 cases of groin flap, 23 cases of free vascularized osteocutaneous flap, 18 cases of parascapular flap, 9 cases of combined scapular and latissimus dorsi flaps, and 8 cases of segmental resection and rotationplasty. Success in reconstructive surgery with the microsurgical technique was achieved in one hundred and thirty four cases, and function and cosmetic results were excellent. Free vascularized flap with development of the microsurgical technique has taken an important role in reconstruction of large extremity defects where skin graft and distant flap were not applicable. Reconstruction of the lower extremity with the microsurgical technique is indicated with free vascularized osteocutaneous flap when there is a large defect of bone, a need for injured nerve replacement, and in the case of needed multiple staged operations. In these instences, this technique is regarded as simple one-staged reconstructive surgery.
Purpose : The aim of this study was to develop a quality of life scale for children on chronic peritoneal dialysis(QOL-CPD). Methods : Thirty children on chronic PD at Seoul National University Children's Hospital participated. A healthy control group included 47 elementary school children. Other patients groups are 32 children from the department of pediatric orthopedics and 28 children from the department of child psychiatry. The age range of all children was 7 to 16 years. Preliminary items of the QOL-CPD were developed and administered along with the Korean version of the Children's Depression Inventory(CDI) to all children. Results : The final QOL-CPD was constructed by excluding those items with a factor loading of less than .20, and the principal axis factor analysis was performed again. The QOLCPD demonstrated a good internal consistency with a value of .87. The dialysis and childpsychiatric groups showed significantly lower QOL scores compared to the healthy control group. In addition, the dialysis and child-psychiatric groups showed greater difficulties on physical and academic functions. For the CDI, the PD group showed a mild level of depression. Conclusion : The results of this study demonstrate the clinical utility of a newly developed self-report QOL scale specific for children on chronic PD.
Chronic osteomyelitis have been treated with wound dressing and antibiotics therapy often results in healing but foul odor pus discharges from the fibrotic soft tissues reactivates and requires appropriate control of the infection. Debridement of the wound, curettage and sequestrectomy, bone graft and immediate free flap transplantation is the curative protocol for the chronic osteomyelitis in the lower extremity. Authors have treated 7 cases of chronic osteomyelitis in the lower extremity with microsurgical free tissue transplantation at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Chonbuk National University Hospital from December 1993 through February 1998. The results are as follows. 1. The chronic osteomyelitis occurred in tibial shaft in 4 cases, in calcaneus 2 cases and in femur 1 case. 2. Duration of the chronic osteomyelitis was at average 31.6 years. 3. Squamous cell carcinoma in the surrounding fibrotic tissue was biopsied in 1 case. 4. 4 cases had no trauma and occurred through hematogenous infection and 3 cases had fracture trauma. 5. Wound debridement and immediate free muscle transplantation had done in 5 cases and wound debridement, sequestrectomy and immediate free muscle transplantation in 2 cases. 6. Rectus abdominis muscle transplantation had peformed in 4 cases(57.1%), latissimus dorsi mucle 1 case(14.3%), latissimus dorsi myocutaneous 1 case(14.3%) and gracilis 1 case (14.3%). 6 cases of 7 were success(85.7%). 7. 1 case of failed latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap in thigh had done above knee amputation and 1 case of chronic posttraumatic osteoarthritis of the ankle joint had done below knee amputation at other hospital.
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a severe form of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), presenting gradual breakdown of articular cartilage and subchondral bone by the functional load sustained to exceed the physiologic tolerance of the joint. In such a joint loaded, offensive bioactive materials such as matrix degrading proteins, cytokines, and free radicals increase in concentration to shift the tissue response in the joint to degeneration from regeneration or remodeling. Recently, it has been issued that obesity can play an offensive role in pathogenesis of OA in a metabolic way. Adipokines released by adipose cells are present at higher concentration in the arthritic joint and joints of obese individuals. However, because of conflicting data reported, further scientific study should be performed to elucidate the practical role of adipokines in pathogenesis of TMJ OA. As far as the clinical signs and symptoms of TMJ OA are not much different from those of other forms of TMD and any definitive treatment modality to control directly the bone resorptive activity is not available yet, the treatment of TMJ OA should be directed to reduce the physical load and enhance the physiologic tolerance of the joint by means of conservative treatment such as physical therapy, medication, and occlusal splint therapy for sufficient period and, if needed after that, supplementary surgical procedure such as intra-articular injection, arthrocenthesis, and arthroscopic surgery that have turned out to be effective to control OA signs and symtpoms. Enthusiastic reassurance and motivation for patients to control behaviors for themselves to reduce unnecessary functional load in daily life is very important for the joint to reach to more favorable orthopedic stability of the TMJ more quickly, guaranteeing more successful management TMJ OA.

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva(FOP) is characterized by episodes of permanent heterotopic ossifications of soft tissues throughout the body. FOP is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, but most cases result from new mutations in the ACVR1 gene. Even minimal trauma can cause permanent ossifications of soft tissues and give rise to complications following routine dental care. Dental block anesthesia, severe stretching of the jaw and biopsies are all contraindicated in children with FOP. There is no effective treatment. Since the prevalence of FOP is very low and most patients with FOP are misdiagnosed during childhood, they undergo dangerous and unnecessary treatment that can lead to permanent harm. For patients with FOP, early diagnosis and prevention of complications are most important. This study aims at contemplating the characteristic features and consideration factors for the dental treatment of FOP patients in relation to the case of an eight years-and-one month old boy who was referred to Pediatric Dentistry due to prolonged retention of mandibular right and left deciduous central incisors after being diagnosed with sporadic FOP at Pediatric Orthopaedics, Seoul National University Hospital, and received dental treatment without the exacerbation of the FOP symptoms.
