The cytokines are the hormone-like proteins, which are produced in the mononuclear cells. They have many roles, such as immune mediators, cell differentiations, angiogenesis. The chemokines have chemotactic effects which control the host immune response. There were few reports about the cytokines associated with musculoskeletal tumors. From late 1980s, the cytokine studies of bone tumors such as osteosarcoma were started, but most studies for benign and malignant musculoskeletal tumors were left to be explored. To evaluate the characteristics of the cytokines in variable musculoskeletal tumors, tissues were obtained from the seven patients who visited the Yeungnam University hospital from February to July 2000. They were lipoma (1 case), parosteal osteoma (1 case), enchondroma (2 cases), pigmented villonodular synovitis (1 case), ganglion (1 case), and metastaic squamous cell carcinoma (1 case). The gene experession of the cytokines were analyzed by RNase protection assay (RPA) and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The lipoma and parosteal osteoma expressed MIP-$1{\beta}$, and IP-10 genes. The two enchondromas showed different results, one expressed all of MIP-$1{\alpha}$, MIP-$1{\beta}$ and IP-10 genes but the other expressed none of above. The pigmented villonodular synovitis strongly expressed MIP-$1{\alpha}$ and IP-10 when compared with the other cases. The ganglion did not express all of the chemokines mentioned above. And the metastatic squamous cell carcinoma expressed all of the chemokines and especially IP-10 was highly expressed. Even though this study has only a few cases, these results provide a basis for the cytokine mediating network study in musculoskeletal tumors.

$^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT는 해부학적 영상과 함께 생리적인 변화를 보여주는 영상을 동시에 제공함으로써 진단적 영상검사에 많은 발전을 가져왔고, 근골격계 종양을 평가하는데 새롭고 독창적인 방법으로 등장 하였다. 최근 PET/CT는 골 전이를 찾는데, 골 연부조직 종양의 시기 결정 및 재시기 결정에 많이 사용되고 있다. 또한 악성 근골격계 종양의 치료에 대한 평가와 치료 후 추시에서 국소 재발이나 원격 전이를 찾아내는 데 유용하게 사용되고 있다. 향후 근골격계 종양에 대한 PET/CT의 연구 자료가 축적되고, 발전된다면 초기 진단에도 유용하게 쓰일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 이 논문은 근골격계 종양의 평가를 위한 $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT의 효율적인 적용에 대하여 문헌 고찰과 함께 살펴보고자 한다.

Purpose: To identify the differential MRI findings between myxoid tumors and benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors (BPNSTs) in the musculoskeletal system. Materials and Methods: The study participants included a total of 35 consecutive patients who underwent MRI between September 2011 and December 2013. The patients were pathologically diagnosed with myxoid tumors (22 patients) or BPNSTs (13 patients). Evaluation was done by two radiologists, based on the following characteristics: size, margin, degree of signal intensity (SI) on T2-weighted images (T2WI), homogeneity of SI on T2WI, enhancement pattern, enhancement homogeneity, presence of cystic portion, internal fat component, presence of fat split sign, presence of target sign, presence of continuation with adjacent neurovascular bundle, and presence of surrounding halo. Results: Large size, high SI on T2WI, heterogeneous enhancement, and internal fat component were commonly observed in myxoid tumors, while homogenous enhancement, fat split sign, target sign were common in BPNSTs. The differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Other findings, such as margin, homogeneity of SI on T2WI, enhancement pattern (peripheral or solid), internal cystic portion, continuation with neurovascular bundle, and surrounding halo, did not show significant difference between myxoid tumors and BPNSTs (P > 0.05). Conclusion: In the differential diagnosis of myxoid tumors and BPNSTs involving the musculoskeletal system, several MRI findings such as degree of SI on T2WI, enhancement homogeneity, internal fat component, fat split sign, and target sign, may be helpful in establishing the diagnosis.

골반 골에 생기는 종양은 복잡한 해부학적 구조와 체부 깊숙이 위치하는 특성으로 인하여, 상당히 커진 후에야 발견되는 경우가 많아서 진단이 늦어지고, 수술이 어려워지는 경우가 많이 있다. 특히 비구 주위에 발생한 종양은 종양의 제거 후에 고관절의 기능을 유지 할 수 있는 재건술의 방법이 극히 제한되어 있고, 수술도 어려우며, 재건술의 예후 또한 예측하기 어렵다. 저자는 신장암이 골반 골 비구 주위로 단독 전이 된 환자의 광범위 종양절제 후 저온 가열 처리한 자가골 과 인공고관절로 재건 한 증례를 보고한다.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising cancer treatment modality that uses dye-sensitized photooxidation of biologic matter in target tissue. This study explored effects of the photosensitizer BCPD-17 during PDT for osteosarcoma. LM-8 osteosarcoma cells were treated with BCPD-17 and cell viability after laser irradiation was assessed in vitro with the 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. The effects of BCPD-17 during PDT recurrence were then examined on tumor-bearing mice in vivo. BCPD-17 had dosedependent cytotoxic effects on LM-8 osteosarcoma cells after laser irradiation which also had energy-dependent effects on the cells. The rate of local recurrence was reduced when marginal resection of mice tumors was followed by BCPD-17-mediated PDT. Our results indicated BCPD-17-mediated PDT in combination with marginal resection of tumors is a potentially new effective treatment for osteosarcoma.

Giant cell tumors are primary bone tumors originating from non-osteoblastic connective tissue. The sites of involvement were commonly distal femur, proximal tibia, proximal humerus, distal radius and others (including os calcis, ilium and sacrum). Giant cell tumor located around knee joint has been difficult to treat because of local recurrence following curettage with or without bone graft. Although primary resections reduce recurrence of the lesion, the joint function will be markedly impaired. Marginal excision was very often complicated by a loss of joint integrity since all the giant cell tumors occupy juxtaarticular positions. Techniques involving physical adjuncts(high speed burr and electric cauterization) have been used in the hope of decreasing the rate of local recurrence and avoiding the morbidity of primary resection. A meticulous clinical, radiological and histological evaluation is needed to choose the correct treatment, keeping in mind the possibility of recurrence after each treatment modality.

Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) has newly evolved by the mechanical improvement of the machine over past several years, becoming a part of imaging techniques for the evaluation of variable diseases in the musculoskeletal system. MSUS has proven diagnostic superiority in pathologies including rotator cuff disease of the shoulder, lateral epicondylitis of the elbow, diseases of the peripheral nerve, detection of intra-articular loose bodies and soft tissue foreign bodies, and in evaluating small superficial soft tissue tumors such as ganglion, epidermoid cyst, and glomus tumor. Besides, MSUS is very useful for obtaining tissue or fluid via percutaneous fine needle aspiration and/or biopsy for the histopathologic diagnosis. Combining MSUS with MR would play a great role in the field of the diagnostic imaging of the musculoskeletal system. The MSUS examiner should have the knowledge of cross-sectional anatomy, and of the mechanical and physical properties of ultrasound in order to interpret the ultrasound findings accurately and properly, and to avoid diagnostic errors due to variable artifacts subsequently. The goal of this article is to introduce the capabilities of MSUS in certain kinds of clinical situation and to familiarize the reader with MSUS. For the purpose, author intends to describe this article according not to the disease-, or organ-based, but to the clinical problem-based format.

연조직종양의 이해는 과거 10년 동안에 걸쳐 주요 변화와 더불어 실질적인 진보가 있었고, 이를 바탕으로 연조직종양의 새로운 분류가 WHO에 의해 2002년에 이루어졌다. 이 개정은 이전에 발표와 상당히 다른 내용의 접근을 하였고, 이 작업에 유전학과 분자생물학 그리고 임상분야의 전문가들이 참여하였다. 여기에서는 과거에 알고 있었거나 특성이 알려진 많은 종양을 포함하여 새로운 큰 변화나 작은 변화가 일어난 부분에 대해서 정리를 하였다. 이러한 내용을 연조직종양의 새로운 WHO 분류를 중심으로 지방세포종, 섬유모세포성/근육섬유모세포 성종과 소위섬유조직구종, 평활근종, 혈관주위종과 근골격종을 중심으로, 큰 변화와 작은 변화로 나누어서 설명하고 새롭게 소개되는 병명을 소개하고 정리하였다. 이 새로운 WHO의 연조직종양의 분류를 이해하여, 종양의 진단과 예후의 재현을 용이하게 하는 필수적인 지침으로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
