Brodie abscess is a localized form of chronic or subacute osteomyelitis that occurs most often in the long bones of the lower extremities of young adults. Involvement of the flat or small bones is less common. And there is no report of Brodie abscess which has two different lesion. We report a case of Brodie abscess of talus and distal tibia.

We reported the two cases of olecranon osteomyelitis secondary to the iatrogenic chronic relapsing septic olecranon bursitis. Infection was well eradicated by excision of the infected bursa and curettage of the eroded olecranon under the coverage of antibiotic therapy

Ununited Anconeal Process (UAP) is defined as a disease of young dogs due to developmental abnormality in which there is a seperation of the anconeal process from the diaphysis of the ulna, leading to a front leg lameness and secondary osteoarthritis. A six -year-old German Shepherd dog was presented because of intermittent right front leg lameness. Diagnosis was made of ununited anconeal process with moderate osteoarthritis by radiographic examination. Surgical removal of ununited anconeal process and curettage of osteoarthritic growth within the elbow joint relieved significant clinical signs despite of size and age of the dog.

Tuberculosis infection of sternum is extremely rare. The most common cause of sternal osteomyelitis is infection of a median sternotomy incision, employed for most cardiac operation. If a wound infection of this regeon becomes apparent, the wound should be opened wide to allow adequate drainage. Frequent irrigation and debridement are necessary to avoid extension of the infection into the bone. We have experienced a 16 years old female who has been operated upon due to ASD, was infected with tuberculosis in sternum. Our team have treated her for tuberculous osteomyelitis on sternum with curettage and drainage.

Traumatic bone cyst is a pathologic cavity that is not lined with epithelium. It is, therefore, not a true cyst. It may be a normal variant rather than a disease process. The etiology of the condition is unknown. This condition is occured widely ranging ages(2 to 75years), however, most are ,found during the second decade of life. Radiographically, this condition is radiolucent lesion with well-defined outline, scalloping of superior margins, Cyst enucleation and curettage is the treatment of choice. The authors compared and analyzed the clinicoradiologic features of the five cases of traumatic bone cyst, diagnosed at the Dental college hospital in Chosun University, Kwangju, Korea. The five cases were shown the followed results; 1. 3cases occured in second decade of life & no significant sex differences (M:F, 2:3) All cases occurred in mandible. 2. Two patients complained symptoms, but three cases had no symptom with encountering during routine examination. 3. In 3 of 5cases, teeth vitality existed except one tooth and no checking of teeth vitality in two cases. 4. All cases didn't have any accurate trauma history, but one case was in orthodontic treatment, another case was postextraction site area. 5. Radiologically, 'scalloping appearance' were evident in all cases; in 3 cases, multilocular tendency & only one case seen intact mandibular canal image. 6. Histologically, all section showed bone trabeculae with blastic activity, 2 cases showed no epithelial lining, and other 2 cases were seen innflammatory cell infiltration in edematous tissue. 7. Surgical intervention (curettage) was that treatment of choice.

Ameloblastoma is an aggressive benign odontogenic epithelial tumour that may arise from the enamel organ, remnants of dental lamina, or the lining of an odontogenic cyst. It is usually categorized into solid or multicystic, unicystic, and peripheral types. Treatment ofameloblastomas include conservative methods such as marsupialisation, enucleation, and curettage; and radical treatments such as marginal or segmental resection. Radical treatments have resulted in lower recurrence rates; however, may also encounter esthetic, functional, and reconstructive problems. Unicystic ameloblastoma has been considered less aggressive and a lower recurrence tendency. Thus, many authors have recommended conservative treatment in cases of unicystic ameloblastoma. An 11 year-old boy presented with displaced second and third molars by luminal unicystic ameloblastoma in the mandible. Cyst enucleation, curettage, and third molar extraction were done. No signs of recurrence or esthetic problems such as facial asymmetry were seen radiologically and clinically, up to 8 years 2 months postoperatively.

Objectives: Tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis is a frequently recurring disease when treated with chemotherapy alone without enough surgical removal of the tuberculous lesions. Authors reviewed retrospectively the treatment result of antituberculous chemotherapy following almost complete surgical removal of tuberculous foci in the neck. Materials and Methods: A retrospective clinical review and analysis was made in 127 cases of tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis patients treated during the past 10 years from 1989 to 1998 at the Department of General Surgery, Inje University Paik Hospital, Pusan. Results: 1) The peak age incidence was the 2nd decade(37.8%), and female was predominated over male by 2.3:1. 2) The time interval from the onset of symptoms to the first visit was less than 3 months in 60.6% of the patient. 3) The location of lymphadenitis was the right neck in 60%, the left neck 34%, and bilateral in 6% of the patient. 4) Signs on the first visit showed solitary masses(60%), abscess(25%) and both mixed(15%). 5) 25 patients(19%) had present or past history of tuberculosis; pulmonary tuberculosis 12 patients, tuberculous lymphadenitis 10 patients, and others 3 patients. 6) Locations of tuberculous lymphadenitis were posterior cervical triangle 70, supraclavicular 51, submandibular 19, anterior triangle 16 and others 4 cases. 7) The principle of treatment of cervical lymphadenitis was surgical management followed by chemotherapy. Surgical procedures were excision(s), curettage and drainage of abscess, combination of both, and biopsy in 60%, 22%, 12% and 6% respectively. Mean duration of antituberculous medication was 9 months after surgery. 8) The rate of recurrent and persistent tuberculous lymphadenitis was 9% in 4 years follow up. Conclusion: Tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis is a frequently recurring disease in young adult when only antituberculous chemotherapy was employed without almost complete removal of the lesions. It is considered that antituberculous medications for 6-9 months after removing the foci at a maximal extent by surgical excision and curettage will reduce the recurrence rate or persistence of tuberculous lymphadenitis.

The purpose of present study is to assess the effects of capsaicin topically applicated to the chronic periodontal pain suffering area. In the First study, twenty patients with chronic pain caused by mild periodontal disease were selected, and periodontal pack containing capsaicin(PPC) was attached to these patients gingiva around pain suffering area. Then the presence of discomfort had been recorded every ten minutes for the first 1 hour. After 1 hour again, It had been recorded according to the presence of pack and to the existence of pain. In the second study, twenty moderate periodontitis patients were selected. After subgingival curettage of two quadrant area, non-euginol periodontal pack or PPC were attached to the curetted gingival margins of them (Non-euginol pack bearing area and capsaicin pack bearing area is supposed to control group and test group respectively.), and the degrees of pain with time had been recorded eight times with 1 hour interval (at that day) or recorded once in a day (from the next day to the next appointment day). The results are as follows : 1. PPC has caused discomfort accompanied by burning sensation to the mild periodontitis patients with chronic pain. 2. PPC has given little effects to improve the pain after subgingival curettage of moderate periodontitis patients.
