Benign hyperplasia of hilar lymph glands is rare. Most of the lesions were intrathoracic cavity. The lesions were discovered most often on routine roentgenograms of the chest or because. of pressure symptoms or the presence of a palpable mass if outside the thorax. Diagnosis is. made after removal of gland, a procedure which may also have therapeutic value. They have been divided into 2 histol0gic types: the hyaline-vascular lesions, which were, most numerous, were characterized by small hyaline-vascular follicles and interfollicular capillary proliferation ;the plasma cell lesions were characterized by large follicles with! intervening sheets of plasma cells. We experienced one case of benign hyperplasia of lymph gland in left hilum, which were. most numerous, characterized by small hyaline-vascular follicles and interfollicular capillary proliferation-hyaline-vascular type. This 29 years old male patient was treated by right upper lobectomy with excision of lesion. The postoperative courses was uneventful.

Castleman's disease was originally described as a localized mediastinal lymph node enlargement characterized by angiofollicular hyperplasia and intrafollicular capillary proliferation, with surgical removal of mass the only treatment required. It has been divided into two distict histologic types. The hyaline-vascular type is more common and characterized by small hyaline-vascular follicles and interfollicular proliferation. The plasma-cell type is occurred less frequent and more likely to present with constituitional symptoms. It commonly involves the mediastinal and pulmonary lymph nodes, with neck involvement in only 15% to 20% of cases. We report two cases of hyaline-vascular type of Castleman's disease located in the neck area with references to recent literature.

Castleman`s disease, giant lymph node hyperplasia, is a rare benign disease. The lesion usually consists of a single node, unassociated with any abnormality of the adjacent lymph nodes or other organs. In the first accounts of giant lymph node hyperplasia of Castleman, the lesion was described as solitary and localized to the mediastinum, which is still the most frequent site of involvement. The disease occurs in all age groups and there is no particular sex preference. It is symptomless and is usually detected on chest films as an incidental finding. On a single involvement, it does not recur after excision, whether total or partial, and the main indication of operation is to rule out more serious tumors. Recently multicentric form appears to be a variant of classic giant lymph node hyperplasia and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Histologically, two distinct types have been reported; hyaline-vascular and plasma cell. The hyaline-vascular type of lesion is much more common than the plasma cell type. We report two cases of the hyaline-vascular type of Castleman`s disease.

Castleman's disease is a relatively rate disorder of lymphoid tissue and poorly understood etiology. The disease may occur anywhere along the lymphatic chain, but is most commonly found as a solitary mass in the mediastinum. The hyaline vascular type represents 91% of Castlemen's disease, and these are most often discovered in the asymptomatic patient on routine chest film. Patients with the plasma cell type often exhibit systemic symptoms, including fever, night sweats, anemia, and hypergammaglobulinemia. Surgical excision effects cure, although resection of the hyaline vascular type may be associated with significant hemprrage owing to extreme vascularity. We recently experienced a case of hyaline vascular type Castleman's disease which was treated by surgical resection through the anterior mini-thoracotomy, and report with its review.

Castleman's disease is a benign lympho-proliferative disorder that commonly occurs in mediastinum. It is known that the disease rarely occurs in mesentery. Most localized abdominal Castleman's diseases are histologically hyaline vascular type. The contrast-enhanced CT in patient with hyaline vascular type Castleman's disease shows a well-defined mass with homogenously intense enhancement. On the other hand, the patient with plasma cell variant has systemic symptoms, but not specific imaging features. We report a unicentric plasma cell variant Castleman's disease in mesentery nearby superior mesenteric artery as presenting a single mass, not accompanied by systemic symptoms with similar characteristics to hyaline vascular type.

A wilt disease occurred on greenhouse-grown eggplants at Yeojoo, Korea in 1997. The wilted eggplants had leaves with gradual yellowing, interveinal necrosis, and marginal crinkling. Vascular tissues of diseased stems were discolored, turned black, and microsclerotia developed at the base of stems. The disease progressed from lower parts of the plants upward. Fungal isolates from discolored vascular tissues were initially whitish to cream color on potato-dextrose agar (PDA) plate, which later turned black due to the formation of microsclerotia. Conidiophores were erect, hyaline, verticillately branched, and had 3 or 4 phialides arising at each node. Phialides were hyaline, arranged in whorls, and measured as 17.5-32.5 x 2-3$\mu\textrm{m}$. Conidia were hyaline, ellipsoidal to sub-cylindrical, mainly one-celled, and measured as 5-8.8 x 2-4$\mu\textrm{m}$. Conidia were borne in small clusters at the tips of phialides. Microsclerotia formed on PDA plates, and consisted of globular cells that formed irregular masses of various shapes. Chlamydospores were absent. Based on these cultural and morphological characteristics, the fungus was identified as Verticillium dahliae Klebahn. Pathogenicity tests by root cutting, root dipping or soil drenching resulted in similar symptoms observed in the naturally infected eggplants. This is the first report on occurrence of Verticillium wilt of eggplant in Korea.

혈관여포양 임 파선증식 증 (angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia)은 원인 미상의 드문 양성 질환으로서 대부분 흉곽내에 발생한다. 진단은 임상증상, 이학적 경사 그리고 X-선 촬영을 비롯한 각종 영상술에 의하며 여러 다른 질환과 감별진단이 어렵다. 대개 수술적 적출에 의한 조직학적 검색으로 확진이 된다. 조직학적으로는 두 가지로 분류되며 하나는 초자양혈관형으로서 여포내에 혈관이 증식되고 초자양화(hyalinization)가 일어나는 것이 특징이다. $90\%$가 이에 속하고 다른 하나는 형질세포형으로서 $10\%$를 차지한다. 후자는 여포간 조직내에 형질세포가 미만성으로 증식되고 신증후군, 발열, 빈혈, 적혈구침강속도 증가, 고감마글로블린혈증, 저알부민혈증 등의 변화가 있는 점이 전자와 다른 점이다. 치료는 주로 수술적 제거술에 의하며 수술로서 절제되지 못하는 것은 방사선 치료에 의하게 된다. 저자들은 경도의 흉부불쾌감과 경부 임파절 종대를 보인 61세 남자에서 전상종격동 종괴를 수술적 부분제거 후 외부 방사선 치료를 실시하여 완치된 1예를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

Castleman`s disease is characterized by lymph node enlargement. There are two distinct histologic subtypes, which are hyaline vascular and plasma cell type. We experienced one case of localized Castleman`s disease of plasma cell type, which located in hilum of the left lung.

Angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia is a relatively rare benign lesion. It develops most often in the mediastinum, but also it found in other area of the body, usually where lymph nodes are normally found. There are histologically divided hyaline vascular type, plasma cell type and transitional type. The lesions were discovered most often on routine roentgenograms, and complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Recently, the authors experienced a case of angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia, transitional type, located in the right hilar area. The lesion was removed and the patient is in good condition postoperatively. Now we report this case with review of previously reported literatures.

Catsleman's disease is a type of angiofolliculr lymph node hyperplasia and its etiology is not known yet. It usually presents with the mediastinal mass but rarely with the parotid mass. There are only five cases previously reported in the literatures. It has two pathologic types, which are hyaline vascular type and plasma cell type. Plasma cell type is frequently associated with systemic menifestations. Diagnosis is based on the histopatholgic findings. Treatment is surgical excision. A case of Catsleman's disease involving the parotid lymph node is presented and literatures are reviewed.
