배경: 악성 늑막 삼출증은 암환자에서 흔히 나타나며 보존적 치료가 일반적인 치료 방법이다. Talc는 화학적 늑막유착술에 이용되는 가장 효과적인 경화제이지만, 투여경로에 대해서는 의견이 분분하다. 본 논문은 비디오 흉강경을 이용한 talc 분무(A군)를 흉관을 통한 전통적인 talc 현탁액 투여(B군)와 비교함으로써 비디오 흉강경을 통한 talc 분무의 장점과 효과를 분석하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2004년 12월부터 2006년 5월까지 악성 늑막 삼출증으로 화학적 늑막 유착술을 시행받은 20명을 대상으로 후향적으로 조사하였으며, 이 중 10명이 전신 마취하에 비디오 흉강경을 통한 talc 분무(A군)를 그리고 10명은 전통적인 talc 현탁액(B군)을 이용한 늑막유착술을 시행 받았다. 결과: 흉관의 평균 거치기간은 $7.0{\pm}4.0$일(A군)과 $6.7{\pm}3.6$(B군)이었고, 평균 재원 기간은 $24.3{\pm}9.4$일(A군)과 $30.7{\pm}21.5$일(B군)로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 증상도 두 군에서 모두 완화되었고 합병증도 없었다. 그러나 폐의 재팽창은 흉강경을 이용한 군에서 유의하게(p-value=0.011) 우수하였고, 외래 추적 관찰에서 호흡곤란도 흉강경을 이용한 군에서 더 많이 완화되었다(p-value=0.014). 결론: 비디오 흉강경을 통한 talc 분무는 병변을 직접 관찰하면서 흉수를 제거할 수 있고 필요한 경우 동시에 늑막 박피술을 시행할 수 있어 폐의 재팽창이 더 우수하며 이로 인해 호흡곤란도 더 많이 완화되며 늑막의 조직검사를 통한 진단을 할 수 있다는 장점이 있어 악성 흉수가 있는 환자에서 추천할 수 있는 방법이다.

Epidermal growth factor is a single-chain polypeptide consisting of 53 amino acids and has a potent mitogenic activity that stimulates proliferation of various normal and neoplastic cells through the interaction with its specific receptor(epidermal growth factor receptor, EGFR). Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common salivary benign tumor and histologically, it contains the epithelial cell, the myo-epithelial cell and mesenchymal ingredient, which is various aspect. Adenoid cystic carcinoma is an infiltrative malignant salivary gland tumor with three different histological patterns: cribriform, tubular or solid. The tumor cell structure composed of modified myoepithelial cell, and basaloid cell. In this study, we used an immunohistochemical technique to investigate the expression of EGF in 6 specimens of adenoid cystic carcinoma and 10 specimens of pleomorphic adenoma taken from patients treated at Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dankook University. The results were as follows. 1. In pleomorphic adenoma, ductal structure and scattered spindle cells in hyalinized stroma, disclosing myxoid stroma and hyalin, cartilage formation were observed. Immunohistologically, weak EGF expression in ductal structure and negative in stromal area were observed. 2. Cribriform type of adenoid cystic carcinoma showed numerous pseudocyst surrounded by dark small neoplastic cells in the back-ground of fibrous connective tissue and moderate EGF expression of dark cells adjacent to pseudo lumen in cribriform pattern, while weak expression in other most cells. 3. Tubular type of adenoid cystic carcinoma showed numerous ductal pattern surrounded by two layered neoplastic cells in the back-ground of fibrous connective tissue and strong EGF expression in luminal cells of ductal structure, while weak expression in outer cells. From the results obtained, we suggest that EGF is mainly biosynthesized in cells forming duct like structures of tubulo-ductal type or cribriform adenoid cystic carcinoma and it may play a role, as a cell mitogen in adenoid cystic carcinoma growth.

The purpose of this study is a comparative evaluation of range motion, especially extension deficit between the group of total patellectomy and that of intact patella, after reconstruction of the patellar tendon in the prosthetic replacement of a proximal tibia. Between 1990 and 1994, 15 patients who had a primary malignancy on proximal tibia were operated on. All patients were evaluated clinically and radiographically. Two patients were excluded because one had a deep infection treated with arthrodesis of the knee and the other was a composite allograft. The mean follow-up of the 13 patients was 27 months(15-47), including 10 osteosarcomas, 1 chondrosarcoma, 1 malignant fibrous histiocytoma and 1 malignant giant cell tumor. Eleven patients had a resection of the proximal tibia and 2 had an extracapsular total knee resection with distal femur. Reconstruction of the defect was done in 8 cases with a custom-made Link Endo-Model Total Rotation Knee Joint Prosthesis, and in 5 with How Medica Modular Resection System (HMRS). We used two methods to reconstruct the ligamentum patellae. Fixation of the patellar tendon to the prosthesis only with suturing and/or stapling(group SS) was done in 7. Transposition of gastrocnemius muscle to enhance fixation and to cover the prosthesis(group TG) was done in 6. Regardless of fixation methods, total patellectomy was done in 5 either to lengthen the patellar tendon or to make primary skin closure easier or for both. In 8 cases, patella was left intact or resurfaced with polyethylene prosthesis. Active extension was measured while the patient was in a sitting position. There is no statistically meaningful difference in terms of extension deficit (Wilcoxon rank test, p=0.8800) between patellectomy group and intact patella group, and between group of fixation only with suturing and that of gastrocnemius transposition. Two cases of extension deficit over 30 degree were seen in group SS and in the group of intact patella. Conclusively, total patellectomy could be an option without increasing the risk of extension deficit when primary skin closure is difficult or patellar tendon is a little bit short to be fixed. There is no rating in the Enneking system of functional evaluation that this finding into consideration.

Soft tissue sarcoma of the head and neck is not frequent neoplasm, accounting for less than 1% of all malignant neoplasm in the region. The histological varieties include osteogenic sarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, tenosynovial sarcoma, angiosarcoma and chondrosarcoma. Rhabdomyosarcomas of the head and neck usually occur in children under the age of 10 years (over 70%) and rarely develop in adults over the age of 20 years. The prevalent sites of involvement include the orbit, nasal cavity, external ear, paranasal sinus and soft tissue of mouth and the primary location of tumor is considered to be one of the important prognostic factors. Before the 1960s, when surgical resection was the only method of treatment, the 5-year survival rate was less than 20%, but recently it has been greatly improved by the multimodality treatment, combining surgery with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Here we treated a rhabdomyosarcoma woman with three cycles of high dose chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy. After the, completion of preoperative treatments, successful result of more than partial response was achieved. Three months later total maxillectomy and radical neck dissection was performed. There was no evidence of tumor infiltration in the resected tumor and regional lymphnodes but metastasized tumor cells in cervical lymphnodes were detected. Tumor cell infiltration was also found on the bone marrow biopsy to evaluate the pancytopenia which occurred during postoperative recovery. Two months later she died of secondary bone marrow failure. We think that this multimodality treatment combining pre-operative chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery might play an important role in curative resection and eyeball preservation in patients with rhabdomyosarcoma involving the eyeball.

Midfacial reconstruction following resection of extensive malignant oral cavity tumors constitutes a challenging problems for reconstructive surgeons. Rectus abdominis muscle free flap (RAMFF) can be considered as the optimal reconstructive option in this case, because this flap has some advantages including consistent deep inferior epigastric artery anatomy, easy to dissect with well defined skin boundaries, acceptable donor site morbidity and the ability to perform simultaneous flap harvest with oral cancer ablation surgery. The rectus abdominis muscle forms an important part of the anterior abdominal wall and flexes the vertebral column, which is a long strap-like muscle divided transversely by three tendinous intersections, fibrous bands which are adherent to the anterior rectus sheath, which is thickly enclosed by the rectus sheath, except for the posterior part below the arcuate line that is usually located midway between the umbilicus and symphysis pubis. Below the arcuate line, this muscle lies in direct contact with the transversalis fascia and parietal peritoneum. For the better understanding of RAMFF as a routine reconstructive procedure in oral and maxillofacial surgery, the constant anatomical findings muse be learned and memorized by the young doctors in the course of the special curriculum periods for the Korean national board of oral and maxillofacial surgery. This review article will discuss the anatomical basis of RAMFF with Korean language.

Purpose: Mucinous eccrine carcinoma of the skin is rare skin adnexal malignant tumor, which most commonly occurs in the head and neck regions. This tumor, although rarely metastatic, has a high incidence of local recurrence. We report a case of mucinous eccrine carcinoma developed on the Lt. cheek which was treated by Mohs surgery. Methods: The patient was a 53-year-old man who showed a palpable skin-colored $1.5{\times}1.5cm$ sized mass on Lt. cheek. We treated it by wide excision, but it recurred several times on the same region. So we finally did the Mohs surgery and full thickness skin graft. Results: The histologic characteristics are large mucinous pools with fibrous septae and clusters of tumor cells. Special stains showed that the mucin was positive reactivity on Periodic acid Schiff. Also the immunocytochemical studies showed a positive reactivity to carcinoembryonic antigen, S-100 protein, cytokeratin-7. Therefore pathologist reported it as a mucinous eccrine carcinoma. Conclusion: Authors experienced a rare case of primary mucinous eccrine carcinoma on Lt. cheek which had recurred several times. Because of the high local recurrence rate, we did the Mohs surgery and got an good result. Therefore the early Mohs surgery would be a good choice to primary mucinous eccrine carcinoma.

Brown tumor is the benign bone lesion consists of woven bone and fibrous tissue without matrix, which develop due to chronic excessive osteoclastic activity such as hyperparathyroidism. Usually they appear with normal uptake or occasionally focally increased uptake on bone scan. We present a case with brown tumor shown more increased uptake and more number of lesions on bone scan after parathyroidectomy, and lesser increased uptake on serial bone scans without any other treatment through several months. This finding is thought to be similar to 'flare phenomenon' which is occasionally seen after treatment of metastatic bone lesions of malignant cancer, and may represent curative process of brown tumor with rapid normal bone formation.
