1. 연부 조직과 골 조직사이에서의 악성 섬유성 조직구종의 근본적인 조직학적 차이는 없었다. 2. 악성 섬유성 조직구종은 조직학적 소견이 다양하므로, 확진을 위해서는 다른 종양을 반드시 배제하여야한다. 3. 재발시 다른 형태의 조직 소견을 보여줄 수 있기 때문에 정확한 진단을 위해 환자의 과거력 및 과 거의 조직학적 검토가 필수적이라 사료된다.

Primary tumors of the chest wall are rare than those of other portions of the body. Soft tissue tumors of the chest wall, though these are benign or malignant, should not be paid special attentions about their management than other soft tissue tumors of the body. Thoracic skeletal tumors, however, have some problems in the treatment because of defect in chest wall leading to herniation of lung and paradoxical movement of thoracic cage. The authors experienced 10 case of primary chest wall tumors at the department of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, the national medical center, during last 15 years. Five of 10 cases were soft tissue tumors, and they were 2 case of lipoma and each one case of myxosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma. Among 5 bone tumors there no cases of sternal tumor, and their histopathological diagnosis were each one of fibrous dysplasia, giant cell tumor, osteochondroma, Ewing`s sarcoma and osteogenic sarcoma. Wide excision, though it was palliative one in certain case, was performed in 9 cases and only diagnostic incisional biopsy in one case, There were no postoperative deaths during admission to the hospital and all cases were missed during short term follow up after discharge from the hospital.

A 10-year-old mixed male dog, weighed 4.2 kg, was referred to an animal hospital in Pusan. Clinical signs were generalized alopecia, cough, cardiac murmur, dehydration, and right side cryptorchidism. Testis was surgically removed, fixed in formalin and submitted to Diagnostic Laboratory, Chonbuk National University. Grossly, right testis was enlarged. A bulging tumor mass of right testis was homogeneous and grayish white in cut surface, but left testis was normal. Microscopically, no border lines of tubules were formed and the cells grew diffusely, forming sheets with scant supporting stroma. Tumor cells were flirty uniform in size and round or polyhedral, and had discrete cellular lines. The nuclei were large and of variable size, and ovoid, round, vesicular but the cell cytoplasm was scanty. Mitotic figures were common. And giant cells and vacuolated histiocytes were scattered, which is called starry sky appearance. This is the case of seminoma with diffuse type in a mixed dog.

A segmental resection and rotationplasty was performed in 23 patients with malignant and aggressive boning tumor of the distal femur or proximal tibia between February 1988 and September 1992 at the Severance Hospital. There were 13 male and 10 female patients. The yongest was 5 years old and the oldest was 37 years old. Mean age at operation was 22 years. Of the 23 cases 14 were osteosarcoma, 7 were giant cell tumor and 2 were synovial sarcoma. After an average observation period of 32.5months, there was no evidence of local recurrence but 6 distant metastasis developed. According to Shriner's rating scale, the functional result were excellent or good in all cases. All patient were convinced that they chosen the appropriate operative procedure and the ability to achieve high level of activity was considered as the main benefit.

늑골에 발생하는 동맥류성 골낭종은 희귀한 질환으로 섬유성 이형성증이나 거대세포종과 감별을 요하는 질환이나 장골의 골간단이나 안면골에도 발생할 수 있다. 환자는 14세 남자 환자로 특이 증상없이 학교신체검사에서 발견된 환자로 핵자기공명촬영상 우측 제 4늑골에 동맥류성 골낭종이 발견되어 광범위 절제술후 현재 16개월까지 재발없이 경과 관찰 중이다.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a benign proliferative joint disease with an uncertain etiology that uncommonly involves the spine. We present a case of PVNS involving the lumbar spine. A 38-year-old male developed back pain and pain in both legs caused by a mass in the L4 region of the right lamina. After gross total tumor removal, the symptoms improved. The pathological finding was synovial hyperplasia with accumulation of hemosiderin-laden macrophages. He was diagnosed with PVNS and experienced no recurrence for up to 2 years after surgery. In this report, we review the previous literature and discuss etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment.

Brown tumors also called as osteoclastomas, are rare nonneoplastic lesions that arise in the setting of primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism. Parathyroid adenomas or hyperplasia constitute the major Brown tumor source in primary hyperparathyroidism while chronic renal failure is the leading cause in secondary hyperparathyroidism. Most of the patients with the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism present with kidney stones or isolated hypercalcemia. However, nearly one third of patients are asymptomatic and hypercalcemia is found incidentally. Skeletal involvement such as generalized osteopenia, bone resorption, bone cysts and Brown tumors are seen on the late phase of hyperparathyroidism. The symptoms include axial pain, radiculopathy, myelopathy and myeloradiculopathy according to their locations. Plasmocytoma, lymphoma, giant cell tumors and metastates should be ruled out in the differential diagnosis of Brown tumors. Treatment of Brown tumors involve both the management of hyperparathyroidism and neural decompression. The authors report a very rare spinal Brown tumor case, arisen as the initial manifestation of primary hyperparathyroidism that leads to acute paraparesis.

The incidence of chest wall tumor is rare than those of other portions of the body. The chest wall tumors need special attention about their diagnosis and management than other tumors. From March, 1985 to September, 1994, 33 patients with chest wall tumor underwent surgical treatment, and those were consisted of 28 benign tumors and 5 malignant tumors arising from soft tissue, rib and sternum.Benign tumors were included 11 lipoma, 4 cysticercosis, 2 chondroma and 1 each of fibroma, dermatofibroma, osteochondroma, fibrous dysplasia and hemangioma,and 6 other cases. Malignant chest wall tumors were included 2 metastatic carcinoma,1 each of giant cell tumor, chondrosarcoma and epithelioid sarcoma.Sex ratio of male to female was 1.5:1, and the range of age was 16 to 72 years,and the mean age was about 40 years. Clinical manifestations of chest wall tumor were palpable mass[55% , pain[21% ,tender mass[9% , growing mass[9% and asymptomatic[9% .The all cases were treated surgically, the results were as follows:Local excision 16 cases, wide resection 12 cases, wide resection with chemotherapy 3 cases, each one case of wide resection with radiotherapy and wide resection with chest wall reconstruction.

Thallium-201 scintigraphy is used to discriminate the malignant bone tumor from the benign by qualitatively and quantitatively, and to predict the response of preoperative chemotherapy in osteosarcoma, by comparing the changes of thallium uptake ratio after chemotherapy to the tumor necrosis ratio. Thallium-201 scintigraphy scan should be done prior to surgical biopsy. PICKER Prism 2000 gamma camera with high resolution parallel hole collimator is usually used for scanning. The patient is injected with 2-3mCi of Tl-201 and the early phase is checked in 30 minutes and delayed phase in 3 hours. The scan images are visually evaluated by a blinded nuclear medicine physician. We could evaluate true positive, true negative, false positive and false negative by the comparison of results with those of biopsy, and calculate positive and negative predictive value(%), sensitivity(%), specificity(%) and diagnostic accuracy(%). For the quantitative analysis of thallium uptake, we drew the region of interest on the tumor side and contralateral normal side as mirror image, and calculated the uptake ratio with dividing the amount of gamma count in tumor side by normal side. We could calculate the percent changes of thallium uptake ratio in early and delayed phase, and compare them to the ratio of tumor necrosis. Thallium-201 scintigraphy proved as useful imaging study to discriminate malignant bone tumor from benign, but had exception in giant cell tumor and low grade malignant bone tumors. We can use T1-201 scan to differentiate the benign from the malignant tumor, and to evaluate the response of preoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and to determine the residual tumor or local recurrence. For the better result, we need to have a more detail information about false positive cases and a more objective and quantitative reading technique.
