This is a case of 25-year-old Korean female with a diagnosis of ossifying fibroma in the mandible. Chief complaint of the patient was facial asymmetry by slow growing mass on the right mandibular body. Diagnosis was obtained by incisional biopsy of affected mandible after taking several radiograms, which was ossifying fibroma. Patient was treated by subtotal mandiblectomy and resin splint implatation. We gained satisfactory result by secondary autogeneous cancellous and marrow bony graft from the iliac crest with titanium mesh for tray of bone chips.

Neurolymphomatosis (NL) is characterized by the infiltration of malignant lymphoma cells into peripheral nerves, nerve roots, plexuses, or cranial nerves. This is a very rare complication of mantle-cell lymphoma. Diagnosing NL is made difficult by cerebrospinal fluid cytology and bone-marrow biopsy results often being negative. NL can appear as the only sign of recurrence in a patient with a previous diagnosis of lymphoma. Here we present two cases of NL in patients with mantle-cell lymphoma diagnosed by positron emission tomography with deoxy-fluoro-D-glucose integrated with computed tomography.

Solitary plasmacytoma (SP) is an uncommon form of plasma cell neoplasm occurring intraosseously or in soft tissue and presents as a single mass of monoclonal plasma cells. SP in the maxillary sinus is rare and can be misdiagnosed as other maxillary sinus tumors. The essential examinations in patients with the initial diagnosis of plasmacytoma are bone marrow biopsy, serum and urine electrophoresis, and kappa/lambda ratio (κ:λ ratio) to rule out multiple myeloma (MM). Herein, a rare case of SP in the maxillary sinus treated by surgery and localized radiation is reported. At the 10-year follow-up examination, local recurrence or disseminated development of MM were not evident.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to notify incidental diagnosis of multiple myeloma during conservative treatment for lumbar disc herniation, caused by right flank pain. Methods: A 45-year-old female came to our hospital for the control of pain caused by lumbar disc hemiation L5-S1. After using Cox technique, she occured right flank pain and found out multiple fracture by bone scan. For further evaluation, she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma with bone marrow biopsy. Results and Conclusions: This case report suggests that clinicians should consider the possibility of multiple myeloma in the case of multiple fracture without trauma.

Silicone breast implant insertion is a commonly performed surgical procedure for breast augmentation or reconstruction. Among various postoperative complications, infection is one of the main causes of patient readmission and may ultimately require explantation. We report a case of infective costochondritis after augmentation mammoplasty, which has rarely been reported and is therefore difficult to diagnose. A 36-year-old female visited the clinic for persistent redness, pain, and purulent discharge around the left anteromedial chest, even after breast implant explantation. Magnetic resonance imaging showed abscess formation encircling the left fourth rib and intracartilaginous and bone marrow signal alteration at the left body of the sternum and left fourth rib. En bloc resection of partial rib and adjacent sternum were done and biopsy results confirmed infective costochondritis. Ten months postoperatively, the patient underwent chest wall reconstruction with an artificial bone graft and acellular dermal matrix. As shown in this case, early and aggressive surgical debridement of the infected costal cartilage and sternum should be performed for infective costochondritis. Furthermore, delayed chest wall reconstruction could significantly contribute to the quality of life.

조혈줄기세포이식은 면역 결핍 질환, 자가 면역 질환, 악성 조혈 종양의 주된 치료법이다. 이종 조혈줄기세포이식의 주요한 합병증은 이식편대 숙주질환이다. 구강 점막 생검은 이식편대 숙주 질환의 확진과 치료계획 수립을 위해 필요하나 영양 결핍과 화학 요법으로 인해 전신상태가 불량한 환자에게 출혈과 균혈증을 일으킨다. 본 논문에서는 레이저를 이용한 최소 침습적 조직생검의 효능을 평가하였다. 모두 3개의 증례가 소개되었고 모든 환자의 의료 기록, 임상 사진, 조직병리학적 결과가 레이저를 이용한 조직생검의 효능을 평가하기 위해 검토되었다. 모든 환자는 생검 후 불편감이 없었고 심각한 합병증이 발생하지 않았다. 생검 조직의 질이 이식편대 숙주 질환을 확진하는 데에 적당했다. 구강 점막의 레이저를 이용한 최소 침습적 생검은 통상의 조직병리학적 생검에 비해 출혈을 일으키지 않아 감염과 균혈증, 술 후 흉터 생성을 줄이므로 이식편대 숙주 질환의 확진에 이로울 것이다.

MALT림프종은 질병의 진행이 느리고, 진단 당시 국소적인 병변이 대부분이며, 폐와 위장관을 동시에 침범하는 경우는 매우 드물다. 저자들은 흉부 단순촬영에서 고립성 폐결절이 발견된 73세 남자 환자에서 위, 폐, 골수를 침범한 파종성 MALT림프종 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose： To know the differences of the proton MR spectroscopic features of the liver between th patients with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and without GVHD (non-GVHD) after to marrow transplantation (BMT), and to evaluate the possibility to discriminate GVHD fro non-GVHD by analysis of the in vivo proton MR spectra. Method： We evaluated the in vivo proton MR spectra from the livers of 37 patients wh underwent BMT. Our series included 14 cases with GVHD and 23 without GVHD in the liver. Nineteen men and 18 women were included in our series. All cases of GVHD and 2 o non-GVHD were confirmed by liver biopsy and remaining of non-GVHD by evaluation clinical follow up. Proton MR spectroscopy (1H-MRS) was performed at 1.5T GE Sign Horizon (GE Medical System, Milwaukee, USA) system using localized proton STEAM sequence and body coil in all cases with subjects were located in supine position. N respiratory interruption was required during the spectroscopic signal acquisition. Paramete using in MRS were： TR = over 3000ms, TE = 30ms, number of scans = 128, voxel size = ($2{\times}2{\times}2$)$cm^3$, and one NEX. We evaluated the spectra with an attention to the differences o patterns of the peaks between GVHD and non-GVHD groups. The ratio of peak area of peaks at 1.6-4.1ppm to lipid (0.9-1.6ppm) [P(1.6-4.1ppm)/P(0.9-1.6ppm)] was calculated in GVHD and non-GVHD group, and compared the results between these groups. We als evaluated the sensitivity and specificity for discriminating GVHD from non-GVHD by anal of 1H-MRS.

Systemic vasculitis involving the lung is a rare manifestation of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and secondary vasculitis is considered to have poor prognosis. A 44-year-old man presented with fever and dyspnea of 1 month duration. A chest radiograph revealed bilateral multiple wedge shaped consolidations. In addition, the results of a percutaneous needle biopsy for non-resolving pneumonia were compatible with pulmonary vasculitis. Bone marrow biopsy was performed due to the persistence of unexplained anemia and the patient was diagnosed with MDS. We reported a case of secondary vasculitis presenting as non-resolving pneumonia, later diagnosed as paraneoplastic syndrome of undiagnosed MDS. The cytopenia and vasculitis improved after a short course of glucocorticoid treatment, and there was no recurrence despite the progression of underlying MDS.

유방을 침범하는 혈액종양은 굉장히 드물게 보고되었다. 우리는 유방의 다발성 결절로써 재발한 급성 골수성 백혈병의 증례를 보고하고자 한다. 77세 여자 환자가 양측 유방의 촉지되는 다발성 결절로 외래를 내원하였다. 환자는 급성 골수성 백혈병(acute myeloid leukemia; 이하 AML)으로 진단받고 9차례의 항암치료 이후 완전 관해가 된 병력이 있었다. 유방 촬영과 유방 초음파에서 환자의 촉지성 병변이 영상의학적으로 확인되었으며 액와부 림프절 종대도 동반되었다. 총생검으로 얻은 검체는 면역화학염색을 통해 AML과 blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm의 형태를 보였으며 추후 진행한 골수 생검에서 AML로 확인되었다. 이렇듯 굉장히 드물지만, 혈액암의 병력을 가진 환자가 유방의 촉지성 종괴로 내원하였다면 담당의는 적절한 조직검사 및 면역화학검사로 정확한 진단을 하여 환자가 적절한 치료를 받도록 해야 한다.
