이하선에 생기는 전이성 다형태 선종은 매우 드문 질환으로서 조직학적으로는 양성이나 임상적으로는 전이를 일으키는 논쟁의 여지가 많은 병변이다. 저자들은 이하선의 다형성 선종으로 절제술을 경험한 57세 남자에게서, 4년 후에 흉막과 우측 폐, 종격동, 심낭, 늑간근의 다발성 전이를 진단하여 전이암 절제술을 경험하였기에 보고하고자 한다.

Carcinoma ex mixed tumor is a mixed tumor in which a second neoplasm develops from the epithelial component that fulfills the criteria for malignancy. This tumor occurs frequently in the parotid glands. Individuals in whom carcinoma ex mixed tumor have a past history of benign mixed tumor. These lesions contain both a benign mixed tumor as well as a malignant neoplasm. We report a case of carcinoma ex mixed tumor which occurred in the parotid gland. A 67-year-old woman presented with movable right mass. she complained pain and facial paralysis. The clinical presentation, several diagnostic images, and histopathologic findings are presented.

We performed thoracoscopic resection for diagnosis in 41 year-old-female presenting with multiple pulmonary nodules in both lung fields, which was detected incidentally on routine chest x-ray and followed by additional exmaminations including chest CT scan and percutaneous needle aspiration biopsy under the presumptive diagnosis of metastatic cancer. During thoracoscopy, the result of the frozen section analysis of multiple masses revealed strong evidence of leiomyoma. In her past medical history, she had undergone myomectomy, and hysterectomy, 7 year ago and 10 year ago, respectively. Based on permanent, special staining of specimen, estrogen receptor assay and review of past specimen of uterine myoma the final diagnosis was benign metastasizing leiomyomata from uterine myoma, the report was very uncommon in Korean and English literatures. The patient has been followed up for 2 year without special therapy, such as hormonal therapy.

Inverted papilloma arising from mucous membrane of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is rare benign neoplasm, and usually unilateral arise from lateral wall of nasal cavity. This tumor is histologically benign neoplasm but clinically malignant, because of frequent recurrence and extensive bone destruction. And occasionally, this tumor can be transformed to squamous cell carcinoma or verrucous carcinoma. Recently, We have experienced a case of the inverted papilloma with verrucous carcinoma of the nose and paranasal sinuses and patient expired due to extension of intracranial cavity. We report our case with review of current literatures.

We experienced a case of benign clear cell tumor, a very rare form of lung tumor. A forty-year-old male complained of non-specific right flank pain for 1 month prior to admission. Under the suspicion of a benign lesion, an exploratory thoracotomy was done. Since the first case was reported in 1963 by Leibow and Castleman, about 40 cases have been reported worldwide by 1993. Basically it was believed to be a benign lesion but in certain cases, it showed malignant behavior. Simple surgical excision is satisfactory to this benign lesion. But close long-term follow up is mandatory. We report this first case in Korea with the review of literature.

Incidental pancreatic cystic lesions are a common challenge encountered by diagnostic radiologists. Specifically, given the prevalence of benign pancreatic cystic lesions, determining when to recommend aggressive actions such as surgical resection or endoscopic ultrasound with sampling is difficult. In this article, we review the common types of cystic pancreatic lesions including serous cystadenoma, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, and mucinous cystic neoplasm with imaging examples of each. We also discuss high-risk or worrisome imaging features that warrant a referral to a surgeon or endoscopist and provid several examples of these features. These imaging features adhere to the latest guidelines from the International Consensus Guidelines, American Gastroenterological Association (2015), American College of Gastroenterology (2018), American College of Radiology (2010, 2017), and European Guidelines (2013, 2018). Our focused article addresses the imaging dilemma of managing incidental cystic pancreatic lesions, weighing the options between imaging follow-up and aggressive interventions.

Background and Object: The role of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and frozen section (FS) in management of thyroid neoplasms continues to generate considerable controversy. We reviewed our current experience to determine the clinical utility of FNAC and FS in our surgical management and investigated reliability of FNAC and FS in planning the extent of thyroid resection. Material and Method: 212 patients who had operations for thyroid disease from May 1996 to November 2003 were included our retrospective study. FNAC was undertaken in 175 patients and FS was done in 148 patients. Result: The sensitivity and specificity of FNAC were 72.1% and 100%, respectively, and those of FS were 67.2% and 100%. The results of FNAC were benign (n=72) , malignancy (n=31), indeterminate (n=9), and nondiagnostic (n=63). The results of FS were benign (n=95), and malignancy (n=53). The 9 indeterminate cases on FNAC were benign (n=6) and malignancy (n=3) on final pathology, and benign (n=7) and malignancy (n=2) on FS. The false negative of FNAC were micro papillary carcinoma (n=6) and follicular carcinoma (n=6). The false negative of FS were micropapillary carcinoma (n=10) and follicular carcinoma (n=2). Conclusion: When results of FNAC are interpreted as indeterminate, FS is a valuable tool. FS is helpful in determining the extent of thyroidectomy when results of FNAC were follicular neoplasm. However we always concerned about micropapillary carcinoma and follicular carcinoma although FNAC and FS were benign.

혈관외피세포종은 구강 내에서 매우 드물게 발생되는 종양으로 양성과 악성의 구분이 매우 어려운 종양이다. 이의 치료는 외과적인 완전 절제이나 오랜 시간이 지난 후에도 재발과 전이가 발생될 수 있으므로 술후 장기간의 주기적인 관찰을 요한다. 이에 저자 등은 30대 여자 환자의 협점막에 발생한 혈관외피세포종을 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Lipomas is one of the most common benign neoplasm in the body, but only rarely occurs in the oral cavity We report here a case of a 49-year-old female with a lipoma of palatine tonsil. Microscopical examination revealed a stromal neoplasm composed of mature fat with the presence of a few thin and anastomosing fibrous septa. The surface epithelium was of nonkeratinizing stratified squamous type. There was the dense fibrous connective tissue between mature fat and surface epithelium. The histopathologic findings and literature on tonsillar lipoma is reviewed.
