Solitary fibrous tumor is a rare spindle cell mesenchymal tumor entity, with either benign or malignant behavior that cannot be accurately predicted by histological findings. An intrapulmonary site of origin is even rarer. We report a case of a 51-year-old woman in whom an abnormal nodule in the lower right lung was detected during staging for sigmoid adenocarcinoma. The nodule was excised and pathological examination revealed an intrapulmonary solitary fibrous tumor.

슬개골 덜컹 증후군은 인공 관절 전치환술 후 슬개골 버튼 근위부에 섬유성 결절이 형성되어 통증, 염발음, 잠김 현상등의 증상이 발생하는 슬개 대퇴 합병증이다. 주로 후방 안정형 삽입물을 사용한 후에 발생하며, 굴곡시 섬유성 결절이 과간 절흔에 포착되었다가 신전시 이탈하면서 증상을 유발한다. 대퇴 삽입물의 구조적 특징이 가장 큰 원인으로 추정되고 초기의 후방 안정형 삽입물에서 발생 빈도가 높았다. 이후 새로운 형태의 삽입물에서는 구조가 개선되어 발생 빈도가 감소하였으나 최근까지도 슬개골 덜컹 증후군의 발생이 보고되고 있다. 진단은 주로 증상에 의해 이루어지며, 영상의학적 검사도 진단에 도움이 된다. 특히, 초음파 검사는 대퇴 사두건의 섬유성 결절을 쉽고 간편하게 발견할 수 있다. 저자들은 초음파를 이용하여 진단된 슬개골 덜컹 증후군 1례를 경험하여 보고하고자 한다.

목적 : 전방십자인대 재건술후 시행한2차 관절경 소견을 통하여 이식건 주위의 반흔 조직의 형태와 그 의미를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1997년 11월부터 1999년 6월 사이에 본원에서 전방십자인대 재건술을 받고 2차 관절경 검사를 시행한 환자중 임상적 증상이 없는 14명 15예를 대상으로 하였다. 이학적 검사 및 단순 측면 방사선 검사 상 터널의 위치를 측정하였는데 경골 터널은 경골 고평부 전-후방 길이에서 터널 위치를 백분율로 표시하였고 대퇴골 터널은 Blumensaal선 전-후방 길이에서 터널 위치를 백분율로 표시하였다. 2차 관절경 검사에서 이식건 주위의 변화를 관찰하였다. 결과 : 단순 방사선 측면 사진 상 경골 터널의 위치는 $27\%$에서 $58\%$로 평균 $41\%$였으며 대퇴 골 터널의 위치는 $58\%$에서 $83\%$로 평균 $76\%$로 모든 예에서 이상적으로 위치하였으며 관절경 소견상 모든 예에서 이식건 감입 현상은 없었으며 3예를 제외한 대부분의 예에서 대퇴과간 절흔과 이식건 사이 혹은 이식건 주위에 섬유성 반흔 조직 형성을 하였는데 그 형태로는 세동성 섬유(fibrillated fiber)가 6예, 섬유성 결절(fibrous nodule)이 5예, 섬유성 띠 (fibrous band)가 1예 있었다. 결론 : 전방십자인대 재건술후 이식건의 감입 현상 없어도 이식건 주위에 섬유조직의 형성이 다양하게 나타날 수 있다.

Solitary fibrous tumor on the pleura is rare but should be included in the differential diagnosis on a peripheral pulmonary nodule. Cytologic features of solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura is not familar to the pathologist and may be misdiagnosed as malignancy. We report fine needle aspiration cytologic(FNAC) findings of a case of solitary fibrous tumor misdiagnosed as adenocarcinoma in a 48-year-old woman. The FNAC displayed a mixture of bland-looking spindle cells and clusters of epithelioid cells, which have hyperchromatic nuclei with prominent nucleoli. The helpful finding to distinguish It from other circumscribed benign and malignant lesions is the presence of fibromyxoid matrix admixed with blood vessels and thin collagen fibers. Familiarity with these features is essential to avoid misdiagnosis and overtreatment.

42세 여자환자가 외래 추적검사에서 1998년 12월에 흉부 방사선 사진상 우측폐 하엽에 고립성 폐결절이 관찰되었다. 경피적 경흉부 세침흡인 세포검사 실패후 진단과 치료를 위해 우측폐 하엽 상기저폐구역의 쐐 기절제를 하였다. 환자는 3년전에 좌측 둔부에 종괴가 있어서 제거후 병리조직검사에서 악성 섬유성 조직구 종으로 진단받고 35일간 4500 rad의 방사선치료를 받았었다. 병리조직 講瀯\ulcorner폐로 전이된 악성 섬유성 조직 구종으로 진단되었다.

Purpose: Nerve sheath myxoma is a rare cutaneous neoplasm originating from the peripheral nerve sheath and divided into three groups : myxoid, cellular and mixed type. There is a controversy on it's origin whether schwannian cell or perineurial differentiation, or anything else. Myxoid nerve sheath myxoma is asymptomatic, soft, papule or nodule in middle-age adults. We report a case of myxoid nerve sheath myxoma on the fingertip. Methods: A 53-year-old woman presented with a painful, $0.4{\times}0.4{\times}0.6\;cm $sized, corn shaped nodule on the left 3rd fingertip. We put into surgical excision and studied it by histopathologically and specific immnohistochemical stain. Results: The tumor has well defined nodules separated by thin fibrous connective tissue with abundant myxoid stroma and were positively stainded for S-100 protein, NSE and GFAP. After surgical treatment it was healed without recurrence. Conclusion: Nerve sheath myxoma is rare neoplasm and located mainly on face, but very rarely on the fingertip. We report a case of painful myxoid nerve sheath myxoma located on the 3rd fingertip.

Atypical fibroxanthoma(AFX) is a tumor that occurs as a solitary and ulcerative nodule on actinically damaged or radiation damaged skin of the head and neck in the elderly. AFX is a pleomorphic spindle cell neoplasm of the dermis, which is a clinically benign reactive lesion despite of apparently malignant histologic features. We report a case of AFX which developed on the nasal root area of a 23-year-old man. This case is very unusual in terms of site(less sun-damaged area), overlying skin feature(grossly normal skin) and age(too young). This tumor was completely removed with surgical excision and remained free of recurrence for a period of about 1 year follow-up.

Dirofilariasis is a rare disease in humans. We report here a case of a 48-year-old male who was diagnosed with pulmonary dirofilariasis in Korea. On chest radiographs, a coin lesion of 1 cm in diameter was shown. Although it looked like a benign inflammatory nodule, malignancy could not be excluded. So, the nodule was resected by video-assisted thoracic surgery. Pathologically, chronic granulomatous inflammation composed of coagulation necrosis with rim of fibrous tissues and granulations was seen. In the center of the necrotic nodules, a degenerating parasitic organism was found. The parasite had prominent internal cuticular ridges and thick cuticle, a well-developed muscle layer, an intestinal tube, and uterine tubules. The parasite was diagnosed as an immature female worm of Dirofilaria immitis. This is the second reported case of human pulmonary dirofilariasis in Korea.

Between March 1992 and December 1995 at St. Paul's, Holy Family, St. Vincent and Eui Jung Bu St. Mary Hospitals Catholic University, two hundred and eighty patients underwent arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) reconstruction using central one-third bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft. Nine of these patients had limitation of motion(LOM) defined as a knee flexion contracture greater than 10o or less than 125o of passive knee flexion. This study analyzes the causes of LOM after ACL reconstruction as well as the results after passive manipulation or arthroscopic adhesiolysis under anesthesia for LOM. The results are as follows: 1. Out of nine patients, initially three had isolated ACL injuries and six had combined injuries. Seven of nine cases were perfomed by ACL reconstruction within four weeks and two were performed after four weeks following injury. 2. Treatment for LOM after ACL reconstruction was done after 5.5 months on average. 3. Arthroscopic adhesiolysis was done in 5 cases. There were fibrous adhesions at suprapatellar pouch and femoral intercondylar notch in all cases, respectively, infrapatellar fat pad in 3 cases and medial para patellar gutter in 2 cases. Two patients had a fibrous nodule, "cyclops" lesion, which formed anterior to the ACL graft. 4. Range of motion and Lysholm knee score were much improved following passive manipulation or arthroscopic adhesiolysis under anesthesia for LOM.

Alloplastic materials used for orbital fracture reconstruction can induce complications, such as infection, migration, extrusion, intraorbital hemorrhage, and residual diplopia. Silicone is one of the alloplastic materials that has been widely used for decades. The author reports a rare case of spontaneous extrusion of a silicone implant that was used for orbital fracture reconstruction 30 years earlier. A 50-year-old man was admitted to the emergency room for an exposed substance in the lower eyelid area of the left eye, which began as a palpable hard nodule a week earlier. The exposed material was considered to be implant used for previous surgery. Under general anesthesia, the implant and parts of the fibrous capsule tissue were removed. Several factors hinder the diagnosis of implant extrusions that occur a long period after the surgery. So, surgeons must be aware that complications with implants can still arise several decades following orbital fracture reconstruction, even without specific causes.
