  • Purpose: Basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS), also known as Gorlin syndrome, is a rare autosomal dominant disorder. It is characterized by complex neoplastic syndrome with multisystemic manifestations, involving six major features. This article presents a rare genetic disorder and usage of the author's methods for odontogenic keratocyst, developed in the maxillary sinus. Methods: A 67-year-old man was presented with large calcified maxillary mass and multisystemic manifestations and findings that matched with basal cell nevus syndrome. The calcified maxillary mass was removed via the versatile maxillary window and maxillary bone segment was repositioned. Results: Histopathologic findings revealed that maxillary and mandibular lesions were odontogenic keratocysts and the skin lesions were basal cell carcinoma. Conclusion: Basal cell nevus syndrome is a rare genetic disease that requires surveillance and care for basal cell carcinoma and multisystemic problems. The author's method was satisfactory for maxillary odontogenic keratocyst in the aspect of the approach and reconstruction.

  • It is well-known that paclitaxel($Taxol^{(R)}$), which is extracted from the pacific and English yew, has been used as a chemotherapeutic agent for ovarian carcinoma and advanced breast carcinoma and Cyclosporin A, which is highly lipophilic cyclic peptide and isolated from a fungus, has been also used as an useful immunosuppressive drug after transplantation and is associated with cellular apoptosis. Since 1953, in which James Watson, Rosalind Franklin and Francis Crick discovered the double helical structure of DNA, a few kinds of techniques for identifying gene expression have been developed. In postgenomic period, many of researchers have used the DNA microarray which is high throughput screening technique to screen large numbers of gene expression simultaneously. In this study, we searched and screened the gene expression in the oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines treated with $Taxol^{(R)}$, cyclosporin or cyclosporin combined with $Taxol^{(R)}$ using cDNA microarray. The results were as following; 1. It was useful that the appropriate concentration of Cyclosporin A and $Taxol^{(R)}$ used in oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line was under 1${\mu}g/ml$ and 3${\mu}g/ml$. 2. In the experimental group in which $Taxol^{(R)}$ and $Taxol^{(R)}$ + Cyclosporin A were used, the cell growth was extremely decreased. 3. In the group in which Cyclosporin A was used, the MTT assay was rarely decreased which means the activity of succinyl dehydrogenase is remained in mitochondria but in the group in which the mixture of Cyclosporin A and $Taxol^{(R)}$ were used, the MTT assay was extremely decreased. 4. In the each group in which Cyclosporin A(3 ${\mu}g/ml$) and $Taxol^{(R)}$(1 ${\mu}g/ml$) were used, the cell arrest was appeared in $G_2/M$ phase and in the group in which $Taxol^{(R)}$(3 ${\mu}g/ml$) was used, the cell arrest was appeared in both S phase and $G_2/M$ phase. 5. In the oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line treated with $Taxol^{(R)}$, several genes including ANGPTL4, RALBP1 and TXNRD1, associated with apoptosis, SUI1, MAC30, RRAGA and CTGF, related with cell growth, HUS1 and DUSP5, related with cell cycle and proliferation, ATF4 and CEBPG, associated with transcription factor, BTG1 and VEGF, associated with angiogenesis, FDPS, FCER1G, GPA33 and EPHA4 associated with signal transduction and receptor activity and AKR1C2 and UGTA10 related with carcinogenesis were detected in increased levels. The genes that showed increaced expression in the oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line treated with Cyclosporin A were CYR61, SERPINB2, SSR3 and UPA3A which are known as genes associated with cell growth, carcinogenesis, receptor activity and transcription factor. The genes expressed in the HN22 cell line treated with cyclosporin combined with $taxol^{(R)}$ were ALCAM and GTSE1 associated with cancer invasiveness and cell cycle regulation.

  • The records of 65 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of primary lung cancer who underwent surgical therapy at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery of the Keimyung University Hospital were analyzed during the period of 8 years and 4 months, from August, 1978 to December, 1986. The peak incidence was observed in the 5th decade of life and the mean age was 52.9 years old. Male versus female ratio was 8.3:1 Cough was the most frequent presenting symptom, 76.9% then chest discomfort, hemoptysis and dyspnea followed in order. 44.6% of the patient had 2 months of prediagnostic symptomatic period, 72.3% had 5 months, and the mean was 5.7 months. As for preoperative diagnosis, 62 of total 65 patients revealed the mass lesion on simple chest x-ray, and 56 of 65 patients on bronchoscopic biopsy, 10 of 37 patients on sputum cytology and 15 of 15 patients on computerized tomography of the chest were positive. Of the 65 patients, 35 [53.9%] had squamous cell carcinoma, 18 [27.7%] adenocarcinoma, 3 [4.6%] large cell carcinoma, and 3 [4.6%] small cell carcinoma all which was oat cell carcinoma. 83.1% of the total patient was resectable, and 34 underwent pneumonectomy and 20 lobectomy. Of these 65 operations, 29 was radical resection, 25 palliative, and 11 exploratory thoracotomy. As for clinical stagings, 23 patients were in Stage, I, another 23 in Stage II and 19 in Stage III, while 16 was in stage, I, 14 in stage ll and 35 in stage III in postoperative staging evaluation. In correlation of postoperative TNM classification and radical resection, those patients who had lung cancer of stage I [14/16] and stage II [9/13] had more radical resection. As postoperative complications, one patient had massive bleeding, two empyema, one empyema with bronchopulmonary fistula, and one cardiac herniation. Operative mortality rate was 1.5% [1 patient]. Mean duration between 1st operation and discovering recurrence in 18 patients was 12.7 months.

  • Primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma (PIOSCC) is very rare type of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) that occurs within the jaw and arises from remnants of odontogenic epithelium with no connection to the oral mucosa. This study reports two cases of PIOSCC of the mandible. Reported in this article are two cases of PIOSCC of the mandible that were treated with resection and reconstruction using a fibular free flap. The first case was a 36-year-old male patient who complained of right mandibular pain. Computed tomography (CT) and panoramic radiograph revealed a large radiolucency in the mandibular ramus area. At first, an odontogenic keratocyst was tentatively diagnosed, and an excision procedure was carried out at another clinic. A final biopsy after cyst enucleation revealed well-differentiated SCC, so we proceeded with segmental mandibulectomy and reconstruction using a fibular free flap. The second case was a 48-year-old male patient with left mandibular pain. CT and panoramic radiograph revealed irregular radiolucency in the mandibular angle area near tooth #38. At first, osteomyelitis was tentatively diagnosed, and a curettage was carried out. A later biopsy revealed well-differentiated SCC, so segmental mandibulectomy and reconstruction with a fibular free flap were secondarily performed. Our two cases have had no recurrence. The facial appearance of both patients is satisfactory, and the neo-mandibular body created using a fibular bone transfer displays adequate bony volume.

  • Background: The resection of recurrent non-small cell lung cancer can be performed very rarely. There has been many arguments for longterm result and therapeutic role in surgical management of recurrent non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). We analyze our result of surgical re-resection of recurrent NSCLC for 10 years retrospectively. Material and Method: In the period from 1987 to 1997, 702 patients who had been confirmed for NSCLC had undergone complete resection in Seoul National University Hospital. As December 1997, 22 of these patients have been operated on the diagnosis of recurrent lung cancer. In these patients one has revealed for benign nodule at postoperative pathologic pathologic was unresectable. and two had revealed other cell type on postoperative pathologic examination. Analysis about postoperative survival rate and the factors that influence postoperative survival rate - sex, age, pathologic stage, cell type, operation adjuvant therapy after first and second operation location of recurrence disease free survival-was 59.1$\pm$10.9 year. There were 14 men and 3 women. Four patients was received radiation therpy after first opration and two patients was received postoperative chemotherapy. At first operation 2 patients was stage Ia, 8 was stage Ib, 1 was stage IIa 6 was stage IIb. Eleven patients had squamous. cell carcinoma at postoperatrive pathologic examination five had adenocarcinoma and one had bronchioalveolar carcinoma. In second operation 8 patients were received limited resection. 9 were received lobectomy or pneumonectomy. One-year survival rate was 82.4% and five-year survival rate was 58.2% Non-adjuvant therapy group after initial operation was more survived than adjuvant therapy group statistically. Conclusion: operation was more survived than adjuvant therapy group statistically. Conclusion : Operation was feasible treatment modality for re-resectable non-small cell lung cancer. But we cannot rule out possibility of double primary lung cancer for them. Postoperative prognostic factor was adjuvant therapy or nor after first oepration but further study of large scale is needed for stastically more valuable result.

  • From 1979 to 1982, 80 patients with unresectable non-small-cell lung cancer without metastasis were treated with high-dose radiotherapy to the primary and to regional lymph nodes with or without supraclavicular lymphatics in the Department of Therapeutic Radiology, Seoul National University Hospital. Of these, 56 patients$(70\%)$ were completely evaluable, and 59 patients$(74\%)$ had squamous cell carcinoma, 13a large cell undifferentiated carcinoma and 831 adenocarcinoma. 21 patients$(26\%)$ had Stage II and 59 patients$(74\%)$ had Stage III. The complete and partial response rate in the high-dose$(\approx\;6,000\;rad)$ radiotherapy was $70\%\;with\;19\%$ complete response. 69 patients$(86\%)$ failed in the treatment, by the failure pattern, $64\%$ had local failure alone, $35\%$ had local failure and distant metastasis and $1\%$ had distant metastasis alone. The failure rate in the thorax were $76\%$ in squamous cell carcinoma, $40\%$in adenocarcinoma and $20\%$ in large cell undifferentiated carcinoma Preliminary result shows that actuarial survival at 1, 2 and 3 years were $56\%,\;26\%\;and\;20\%$ in overall patients and $64\%,\;37\%\;and\;21\%\;in\;Stage\;II\;and\;54\%1,\;21\%\;and\;18\%$ in Stage III, respectively. Overall median survival was 14 months; 17 months in Stage II and 13 months in Stage m. 8 patients$(10\%)$ have lived a minimum of 2 years with no evidence of disease. There was no fatal complication confirmed to be induced by radiotherapy, so definitive high-dose radiotherapy was tolerated well without major problems and resulted in good local control and survival.

  • Anaplastic carcinoma of the thyroid is one of the most malignant tumors and survival for longer than three years after diagnosis is exceptional. Multinucleated giant cells of osteoclastlike appearance are seen un some of the anaplastic carcinoma, but only three cases in which the diagnosis was made by fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology are reported in the international literature. We experienced a case of anaplastic carcinoma with osteoclastlike giant cells in a 66-yr-old female, diagnosed by FNA cytology. The smears revealed two cell populations: multinucleated giant cells and large polygonal or spindle shaped malignant cells. The FNA cytodiagnosis of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma containing osteoclastlike giant cells was substantiated by subsequent biopsy.

  • Background: Reconstruction of large facial defects is challenging as both functional and cosmetic results must be considered. Reconstruction with forehead flaps on the face is advantageous; nonetheless, reconstruction of large defects with forehead flaps alone results in extensive scarring on the donor site. In our study, the results of reconstruction using a combination of forehead flaps and other techniques for large facial defects were evaluated. Methods: A total of 63 patients underwent reconstructive surgery using forehead flaps between February 2005 and June 2020 at our institution. Reconstruction of a large defect with forehead flaps alone has limitations; because of this, 22 patients underwent a combination of procedures and were selected as the subjects of this study. This study was retrospectively conducted by reviewing the patients' medical records. Additional procedures included orbicularis oculi musculocutaneous (OOMC) V-Y advancement flap, cheek advancement flap, nasolabial V-Y advancement flap, grafting, and simultaneous application of two different techniques. Flap survival, complications, and recurrence of skin cancer were analyzed. Patient satisfaction was evaluated using questionnaires. Results: Along with reconstructive surgery using forehead flaps, nasolabial V-Y advancement flap was performed in nine patients, local advancement flap in three, OOMC V-Y advancement flap in two, grafting in five, and two different techniques in three patients. No patient developed flap loss; however, cancer recurred in two patients. The overall patient satisfaction was high. Conclusion: Reconstruction with a combination of forehead flaps and other techniques for large facial defects can be considered as both functionally and cosmetically reliable.

  • Anaplastic large cell lymphoma(ALCL) is an uncommon type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma(NHL) populated with anaplastic, often bizarre cells that express CD30 (Ki-1) antigen. The unusual histologic and cytologic features may cause confusion with other neoplasms, such as poorly differentiated carcinoma, melanoma, Hodgkin's disease, or true histiocytic lymphoma. Although the cytologic features of ALCL have been well described, there are few reports about cytologic findings of the sarcomatold variant of ALCL. We experienced a case of fine needle aspiration(FNA) cytologic findings of ALCL which mimicks malignant fibrous histiocytoma. FNA cytology of chest wall mass in a 62-year-old female with a history of peripheral T-cell lymphoma(Lennert lymphoma) revealed a heterogeneous population of single cells and poorly cohesive cells with large, pleomorphic nuclei and spindle cells gathering around vascular structures within an inflammatory background. Additional features of the neoplastic cells were eccentric, multilobated nuclei with occasional 'wreath-like' configuration; abundant cytoplasm with vacuolization; and prominent nucleoli. The cytologic features suggested sarcoma, especially malignant fibrous histiocytoma. The diagnosis was made retrospectively with an aid of immunocytochemical staining.

  • Multiple primary lung cancer is a rare disease entity and its clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis are poorly described. But the multiple primary lung cancer have a more favorable prognosis than locally recurrent or metastastic disease. Therefore, appropriate identification of multiple primary lung cancer will be very important. We have experienced a case of stage I multiple primary lung cancer in a 76-year-old male with two large mass in the right lower lobe without metastasis in the mediastinal lymph nodes with right mid and lower lobectomy. The microscopic pictures revealed adenocarcinoma in the one & small cell carcinoma in another. The post-operative courses were in uneventful for 4 months & but he was treated with chemotherapies, 2 times for complete remission of small cell carcinoma to now after discharge.
