Purpose: Tumors arising in the foot and ankle are uncommon and the malignant tumors are known to be rare compared with those of the other sites. We analyzed the clinical data of patients who have been diagnosed as having a tumor of the foot and ankle. Materials and Methods: From 1989 to 2006, we analyzed 185 patients who have been treated surgically and were pathologically confirmed of having tumors of the foot and ankle. Their clinical characteristics were reviewed retrospectively. Results: One hundred and fifty-seven cases were benign (84.9%) and 28 cases (15.1%) were malignant. 108 cases (58.4%) were benign soft tissue tumors and 49 cases (26.5%) were benign bone tumors. Malignant tumors included 17 cases (9.2%) of soft tissue tumors, 8 cases (4.3%) of primary bone tumors and 3 cases (1.6%) of metastatic bone tumors. The most common benign soft tissue tumor was ganglion (23 cases). Enchondroma (9 cases) was the most common among the benign bone tumors. Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor was the most common malignant tumor (4 cases). The predilection site for benign tumors was at the forefoot around toes while for the malignant tumor was around the ankle. 4.6% of benign soft tissue tumors and 8.2% of benign bone tumors had locally recurred and 14 cases (50%) of malignant tumor were confirmed as having distant metastasis. Conclusion: The ratio of malignant tumor and its metastasis rate was high. Therefore, the histopathologic confirmation is essential when treating tumors of the foot and ankle.

Malignant tumor of the pelvic bone has nonspecific symptom and it is not easily detected by physical examination or by radiologic study in early stage, because of its anatomical characteristics. Associated with their variety of disease entity, the treatment of malignant pelvic bone tumor is a problematic point. We have analysed 36 cases of malignant pelvic bone tumors diagnosed at the Severance hospital from 1968 to 1993 to provide a reference for diagnosis and treatment of the malignant pelvic bone tumors. We found that the chondrosarcoma(27.8%) and the osteogenic sarcoma(27.8%) were the most common type of pelvic bone malignancy, and then, in the order of incidence, there were Ewing's sarcoma(16.7%), malignant fibrous histiocytoma(11.1%). There were differences of the age distribution among each diseases and the average age was Ewing's sarcoma 20.5, osteogenic sarcoma 27.2, chondrosarcoma 40.0, malignant fibrous histiocytoma 64.8, respectively. Three of the 5 patients with low grade tumors survived(60%), whereas 3 of the 17 patients with high grade tumors survived(18%). The survival rate of the low grade malignant group was 60%, the high grade was 18%.

Background and Purpose: Bone metastases rarely occur in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), so the molecular mechanisms of bone metastasis of OSCC remains unclear. Studies with animal models allow progresses in understanding the molecular events for bone metastasis and provide new targets for therapy. So we tried to establish a murine model for bone metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Materials and Methods: Human OSCC cells (KB cell line) were xenografted to nude mice via direct inoculation into the tibial marrow. Mice with tibial tumors were sacrificed once a week, until seven weeks after the injection of human tumor cells. Growth of tibial tumors were observed by histology. Expression of TGF-$\beta$ and CXCR-4 in bone OSCC (experimental) and subcutaneous tumor (control) was also evaluated by immunohistochemical staining. Results: Bone OSCC was successfully induced by intra-tibial injection of KB cells. Tumor mass was developed in the marrow tissues of tibia and finally invade the endosteum of tibia. Immunohistochemical staining showed higher expression of TGF-$\beta$ in bone tumors than in subcutaneous tumors. Conclusion: A murine model of bone metastasis of OSCC was suggested that imitated the clinical findings of distant vascular metastasis. This bone tumor model should facilitate understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of OSCC bone metastasis, and aid in the developement of treatment strategies against OSCC bone metastasis.

Purpose : To investigate the diagnostic significance of cortical changes in the bone of diseased jaws utilizing computed tomography (CT). Materials and Methods: Computed tomographic images of 91 patients, consisting of 7 osteomyelitis, 46 cysts, 18 benign tumors, and 20 malignant tumors, were analyzed. The pattern of cortical expansion was classified into three types: no expansion (N), buccal or lingual expansion (B/L), and buccolingual expansion (B & L). The pattern of cortical destruction was classified into four types: no destruction (N), point destruction (PO), gross destruction (GR), and permeative destruction (PE). The pattern of periosteal reaction was classified into four types: parallel, irregular, spicule, and Codmans triangle. The relationship between the pattern of cortical bone changes and diseases of the jaws was assessed. Results: When the pattern of cortical expansion was compared to diseases of the jaw, N-type was most prevalent in cases of osteomyelitis and malignant tumors, B/L-type with cysts, and B&L-types with benign tumors. Comparison between the pattern of cortical bone destruction with diseases of the jaw showed strong correlations between PO and PE-types to osteomyelitis, N-type with cysts, N and GR-types with benign tumors, and GR-type with malignant tumors. Finally, the relationship between the pattern of periosteal reaction to diseases of the jaw showed a strong correlation between parallel-type to osteomyelitis and spicule-type to malignant tumors. Conclusion : The pattern of cortical expansion and cortical destruction is useful in differentiating diseases of the jaws.

골반 골에 생기는 종양은 복잡한 해부학적 구조와 체부 깊숙이 위치하는 특성으로 인하여, 상당히 커진 후에야 발견되는 경우가 많아서 진단이 늦어지고, 수술이 어려워지는 경우가 많이 있다. 특히 비구 주위에 발생한 종양은 종양의 제거 후에 고관절의 기능을 유지 할 수 있는 재건술의 방법이 극히 제한되어 있고, 수술도 어려우며, 재건술의 예후 또한 예측하기 어렵다. 저자는 신장암이 골반 골 비구 주위로 단독 전이 된 환자의 광범위 종양절제 후 저온 가열 처리한 자가골 과 인공고관절로 재건 한 증례를 보고한다.

Giant cell tumors are primary bone tumors originating from non-osteoblastic connective tissue. The sites of involvement were commonly distal femur, proximal tibia, proximal humerus, distal radius and others (including os calcis, ilium and sacrum). Giant cell tumor located around knee joint has been difficult to treat because of local recurrence following curettage with or without bone graft. Although primary resections reduce recurrence of the lesion, the joint function will be markedly impaired. Marginal excision was very often complicated by a loss of joint integrity since all the giant cell tumors occupy juxtaarticular positions. Techniques involving physical adjuncts(high speed burr and electric cauterization) have been used in the hope of decreasing the rate of local recurrence and avoiding the morbidity of primary resection. A meticulous clinical, radiological and histological evaluation is needed to choose the correct treatment, keeping in mind the possibility of recurrence after each treatment modality.

To determine the usefulness on fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC) of bone lesions and the complementary role of FNAC and percutaneous needle biopsy, 75 cases of FNAC taken from bone lesions were analyzed. Correlations with histopathology were possible in 47 cases, including 14 cases of simultaneous core biopsy and 33 cases of subsequent open biopsy due to inadequate aspirates. Among 75 cases, 4 cases were benign tumors and tumor-like lesion, 11 cases were malignant primary bone tumors, 17 cases were metastatic tumors, and 43 cases were nonneoplastic bone lesions. The aspirates were adequate in 35 cases(46.7%), in all of which the discrimination between benignancy and malignancy was possible. The main reason for Inadequate aspirates was due to hypocellularity. In the cases of aspiration and core biopsy simultaneously done, the diagnostic accuracy of aspiration, core biopsy, and both were 57%(8/14), 78.6%(11/14), and 92.9%(13/14), respectively. We conclude that a final diagnosis based on cytology is possible with the adequate aspirates and the clinical and radiological findings. Also we confirm the complementary role between FNAC and core biopsy in bone lesions.

Mandibular bone depression, also known as Stafne bone cavity, is defined as a bone depression filled mainly with salivary gland tissue. Parotid gland bone defects are infrequently observed. We report the case of a 52-year-old male patient who underwent radiographic examinations due to temporomandibular joint dysfunction, and a radiolucent area was detected in the mandibular ramus, with a provisional diagnosis of traumatic bone cyst or parotid mandibular bone defect. The patient was then referred for magnetic resonance imaging, which demonstrated a hyperintense area eroding the mandibular ramus, which corresponded to glandular tissue. Although the defect was a benign lesion, radiolucencies in the mandibular ramus lead to concerns among professionals, because their radiographic features can resemble various intrabony neoplastic lesions, such as giant cell tumors or benign tumors of the parotid gland.
