The authors observed, in the routine roentgenographic examination, a rare case of Giant cell Reparative Granuloma found in the mandible of woman 23 years of age who had visited Infirmary of Dental College, Seoul National University' because of the traffic accident. In the serial roentgenograms, Authors had obtained the result as follows; 1. Giant cell Reparative Granuloma occurred below the 20 years of age, and occurred in mandible of female. 2. In roentgenograms, it figures the radiolucent lesion with multilocular apperance. 3. The growing process of Giant cell Reparative Granuloma is not by the neoplastic reaction, but by the local reparative reaction.

Giant cell reparative granuloma (GCRG) is an uncommon benign lesion that is most commonly found in the mandible and maxialla, and is a very rare condition in finger. We report an unusual case of GCRG arising in the index finger of a 21-year-old man. Histology was characteristic of giant cell reparative granuloma.

Giant cell reparative granuloma(GCRG) is a non-neoplastic rapidly expanding and locally destructive tumor that occurs almost exclusively within the mandible and maxilla. A 58-year-old man, complained of a mass on the left infra-auricular area starting 2 months ago. The radiologic finding suggests a mass that originate from mandible, pathology diagnosed the lesion as a giant cell reparative granuloma. The tumor was surgically excised without complications. We report the case with a review of literature.

The authors have observed a case of giant-cell reparative granuloma which were occurred in the mandible of 30 year old man . 1.The lesion of accompanying inflammation was lacated at the anterior portion of the mandible. 2.Radiograph shows ovoid radiolucent shadow with irregular margin. 3. Microscopic section reveals granulation tissue and many multinucleated gaint cells exist adjacent to the hemorrhagic areas.

The authors observed a patient who referred to the Department of Oral Radiology, due to diffuse skeletal pain, muscular weakness and unknown tumor mass on the buccal gingiva of upper right molar region. The patient was found to have peripheral reparative giant cell granuloma and osteomalacia. After removal of the tumor, the clinical, radiologic, and laboratory findings of the patient was rapidly normalized with remarkable improvement of bone pain. The results were as follows: 1. After removal of the tumor, the patient improved. the clinical findings such as bone pain, trismus. muscular weakness and he could walk. 2. In postoperative x-ray findings at 1 and 2 months intervals, the lamina dura of all dentition and bony trabeculae in upper and lower arches were regenerating and the bone density increased. 3. In periodic recall check, no occurrence of osteomalacia was existed and the laboratory findings of the patient showed gradual improvement.

Giant cell tumor of the small bones of the hands and feet is rare. Giant cell tumors in these locations develop at young age, are more commonly multifocal, and show the higher risk of recurrence than those at the end of the long bone. It should be differentiated from the other lesions of the hands, such as giant cell reparative granuloma, aneurysmal bone cyst and enchondroma. We experienced a case of giant cell tumor in the proximal phalanx of the left hand with swelling and pain. Curettage and bone graft were performed. Histologically large number of giant cells were distributed diffusely in the highly cellular stroma containing sheets of mononuclear cells. Secondary aneurysmal bone cyst and hemorrhage were associated.

Chondromyxoid fibroma occurring in the hand is a rare benign tumor. Radiologically and histologically, it should be differentiated from the other benign bone lesions in the hand, such as enchondroma, chondroblastoma, giant cell reparative granuloma and chondrosarcoma. This report is dealt with 59-year-old female and 19-year-old male patient presenting lesions on their digits anddescribed unusual clinical, radiological and pathological features.

Background and Objectives： Primary benign masses in subglottis and trachea are rare. Symptoms of tracheal obstruction are similar to those of bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, as well as malignant lesions. Materials and Methods： Eight patients with benign tracheal masses from April 1992 through June 2001, at otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. department of Seoul national university hospital were studied by retrospective medical record review. Results : They were 3 females and 5 males aged from 0 to 57 years. The pathologies of the intratracheal masses were lipoma. tuberculosis, pleomorphic adenoma, hemangioma(two case), reparative giant cell granuloma, epithelial inclusion cyst and nonspecific lymphadenopathy, respectively. The most characteristic symptoms were dyspnea and stridor, both inspiratory and expiratory. Five of them had been treated as bronchial asthma. Conclusion： For the management of patients with the subglottis and tracheal masses, it is important to establish secure airway. regardless of pathology of the masses. The diagnosis should be considered in any patient with asthma-like manifestation, especially who fails to respond to medical treatment. It is necessary to examine the airway thoroughly, and chest and simple cervical X-ray may contribute to the diagnosis of possible intratracheal mass.
