This study was aimed to investigate the effects of the type O foot-and-mouse disease vaccine (FMDV) on the incidence of abnormal meat such as granuloma or abscess formation at the injection site in pork and its associated economic losses. At 56 d of age, piglets were inoculated with FMDV by one of three administration routes: N-Neck (a conventional needle-syringe injection into the neck), N-Ham (a conventional needle-syringe injection into the ham), and Non-Neck (injection with a needle-free device into the neck). The injection sites were visually examined for the presence of a granuloma or abscess, and the incidence rate of abnormal meat was calculated. The gross weight of the portion of the pork carcasses condemned because of granuloma or abscess formation was measured and multiplied by the weekly sales price to calculate the total economic losses. After implementation of FMDV, the economic losses were approximately six times higher than before implementation. Granuloma or abscess formation was significantly higher in the N-Neck and Non-Neck groups, in which the vaccine was inoculated into the neck area, than in the N-Ham group (N-Neck and N-Ham vs Non-Neck, p<0.05). These results suggest that the incidence of lesions could be reduced if the ham route was used for vaccination.

Cellulose acetate electrophoresis was used for differential diagnosis of radicular cysts and granulomas. Sixteen periapical lesions were excised from sixteen teeth with radiographic evidence of periapical pathosis, and two normal periodontal tissues were surgically removed from two wisdom teeth. The tissue samples were separated into two parts. Half was prepared for cellulose acetate electrophoresis, and the electrophoretic patterns were scanned with Helena densitometer. The other half was examined histologically, and the histologic diagnoses were then compared with the electrophoretic patterns and with the x-ray findings. The results were the following: 1. The histopathologic results showed the presence of 13 granulomas (81.8%) and 3 cysts (18.3%). 2. An albumin pattern, alpha-globulin pattern, beta-globulin pattern, fibrinogen pattern and gamma-globulin pattern were found in all eighteen cases. 3. All eighteen cases were divided into normal periodontal tissue group, dental granuloma group, and radicular cyst group by the histopathologic diagnosis. The electrophoretic pattern of dental granuloma group and that of normal periodontal tissue group resembled each other. The two groups showed the highest percentage in beta-globulin fraction, and the beta-globulin of dental granuloma group(47.17%) was higher than that of normal periodontal tissue group (40.54%) by 6.63%. On the contrary, beta-globulin fraction of radicular cyst group (28.00%) was much lower than those of the granuloma group (47.17%) and normal periodontal tissue group (40.54%), and alpha-globulin of radicular cyst group (34.16%) was much higher than those of the granuloma group (20.04%) and normal group (19.58%). 4. Five cases (31.3%) of the sixteen periodontal lesions showed different results between histopathologic diagnoses and radiographic findings.

척추에서의 호산구 육아종은 흔하지 않으며, 특히 경추 및 후방 신경궁에서의 발생은 드물다. 또한 호산구 육아종은 자기 공명 영상을 포함한 방사선학적 검사상 추체의 붕괴, 척추경의 소실 및 척추 주변 연부 조직의 종물 형성 등의 소견을 보이므로 다른 악성 골종양이나 전이성 종양 또는 결핵성 척추염 등과 감별을 요한다. 저자들은 각각 제 4 경추, 제 7 경추의 후방 신경궁, 그리고 제 4 경추체에서 발생한 호산구 육아종에 대하여 수술적 치료 후 완치를 보인 3례를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

F-18 FDG-PET/CT는 위암의 재발여부를 평가하는데 있어서 이용될 수 있으나 위양성을 일으키는 경우가 종종 보고된다. 저자들은 위암으로 위절제술과 Mitomycin C를 이용한 복강 내 화학요법 시행 후 F-18 FDG-PET/CT상 위양성의 복강 내 활성화 탄소 육아종을 경험하였다. 46세 남자환자는 수술 후 6개월째 시행한 CT상 우측 대장 뒤에서 종물이 발견되었으나 크기 변화 없다가 36개월째 크기의 증가를 보여 시행한 F-18 FDG-PET/CT상 전이 종양이 의심되었다. 진단적 개복술을 시행하여 제거한 종양은 조직학적 검사상 활성화 탄소 육아종으로 진단되었다. 이처럼 복강 내 화학요법을 시행한 환자의 F-18 FDG-PET/CT의 해석에 있어서 활성화 탄소 육아종에 의한 위양성 소견의 가능성을 염두에 두어야 할 것이다.

Granuloma is an uncommon benign disease that develops in the process of wound healing. Pharyngeal or laryngeal granuloma can be associated with gastric reflux, mechanical injury or trauma including intubation, voice abuse, or foreign body. 50-year-old female was transferred to our institute with a huge mass occupying the upper aerodigestive tract causing dysphagia. The patient has been suffering from a brain hemorrhage for several months and was kept in bed due to the quadriplegia with stuporous mental status, and was tracheotomized. On examination, the whole oropharynx and hypopharynx was covered by a smooth-surfaced soft big diffuse granular mass, which extended down to the upper trachea through the larynx. The huge granuloma was successfully removed with surgery and was found to have a pedunculating stalk on the oropharyngeal posterior wall with a small mucosal defect, suggestive of the origin of the mass. The defect was closed primarily after the cauterization. The patient is now followed up regularly without any recurrence of the disease.

We report a 35-year old female patient with history of seizure and mass which was confirmed as a plasma cell granuloma, arising in the left parietal area. The mass appeared on magnetic resonance imaging as well circumscribed area of decreased signal that markedly enhanced with administration of the contrast. Pathologically, biopsy showed a mixed cellular population with considerable numbers of plasma cells along with eosinophils and lymphocytes and the tumors was characterized immunohistochemically by polyclonal population of lymphoid cells.

Intravenous pyogenic granuloma, commonly known as intravenous lobular capillary hemangioma, is a rare benign tumor of the vein. It rarely occurs in the neck, and its character is not enough to diagnosis clinically. It could be diagnosed with preoperative radiologic examinations such as ultrasound and computed tomography and typical pathologic findings that demonstrate lobules of multiple capillaries lined with flattened endothelial cells admixed with fibromyxoid stroma. The authors report a case of a 32-year-old male who presented with a palpable neck mass for one month with a review of the literature. He was successfully treated with resection, including the tumor and normal external jugular vein, without any complications.

A foreign body granuloma is a non-allergic chronic inflammatory reaction that is mainly composed of multinucleated giant cells. Foreign body granulomas may occur after the administration of any dermal filler. Factors such as the volume of the injection, impurities present in the fillers, and the physical properties of fillers affect granuloma formation. The formation of granulomas involves five phases: protein adsorption, macrophage adhesion, macrophage fusion, and crosstalk. The clinical and pathologic features of granulomas vary depending on the type of filler that causes them. Foreign body granulomas can be treated effectively with intralesional corticosteroid injections. Surgical excisions of granulomas tend to be incomplete because granulomas have ill-defined borders and moreover, surgical excisions may leave scars and deformities.

The authors present a new technique for surgery of cholesterol granuloma [CG] at the petrous apex. An epidural middle fossa approach is used to expose and remove the cyst, with silicon tube drainage into the sphenoid sinus via the anterolateral cavernous sinus triangle between the first and second divisions of the trigeminal nerve. This novel method is less invasive skull base approach to the petrous apex and very effective for minimizing recurrence of CGs within the petrous apex.

Dermal fillers are generally accepted as safe and well-tolerable cosmetic tools. However, adverse reactions have been reported in the literature. Here, we present a case of atypical facial filler granuloma and compare its histologic features with those of the classic paraffinoma.
