A 76-year-old woman with hypertension was admitted to the hospital with complaints of chest pain and dyspnea. An echocardiogram and pulmonary computed tomography angiography showed right atrial myxoma complicated with pulmonary thromboembolism. An operation to resect the right atrial myxoma and pulmonary embolism was recommended; however, the patient refused and was discharged with anticoagulation therapy. Two years later, she developed dyspnea. Radiological studies and echocardiography showed similar results with the previous findings. The patient underwent mediastinotomy with resection of the right atrial myxoma and pulmonary embolectomy. As there are few reports on right atrial myxoma complicated with pulmonary embolism, we report a successful case of surgical removal of right atrial myxoma and pulmonary embolism.

We've reviewed 5,067 cases of claims by death that had occured for about 5 years from January, 1979 to October, 1983. As a result, We came to following conclusions; First, the greater part of deaths above mentioned were due to the Disease of Adult such as the Malignant neoplasm(18.4%), a Heart disease(10.4%), Liver cirrhosis(9.1%) and the Cerebrovascular disease(7.6%) as well as Accidental Death(26.5%), which were occupied by 72% of the whole. Second, classifying them by medical examination or non-medical, deaths in case of non-medical examination showed 80.8% of the. whole. And for age, sections ranging from 40 to 49 and from 30 to 39 took the overwhelming portions by 36.9% and 29.8% respectively, both of which showed 66.7% of the whole. Third, for the period elapsed, deaths within 1 year from the entrance showed 21.3% and that from 1 years to under 2 years, 19.9%. Thus the rate of early death under 2 years stood for 41.2% of the whole. Fourth, for occupation of the insureds, commerce occupied 20.4%, company employees 14.4%, agriculture 13.3%. These three categories marked 48.8% of the whole. From this, it appeared that the accidental death rate of the insured with the risky occupation was much greater than orthers.

Schwannoma is a neoplasm of the Schwann cells of the neural sheath [1]. Malignant schwannoma is most commonly seen in the subcutis of the flank or neck area near the salivary glands [2]. It also occurs in the thoracic and abdominal cavities, spinal cord, cranial cavity, the heart, etc. Here, we incidentally found a good case of malignant schwannoma in the subcutis of the lumbar and lumbosacral region in male F344 rat during the carcinogenicity study with diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP). Therefore, we tried to report this case as a good reference of malignant schwannoma. (omitted)

심장내의 혈관종은 매우 드문 질환으로써 부검 예가 아닌 경우로는 전세계적으로 37예만이 보고되어있다. 증상은 종양의 위치에 따라 우심실 유출로 폐쇄에 따른 증상이나 상공정맥 혹은 하공정맥을 막아서 생기는 등의 다양한 증상이 나타날 수 있으며 때로는 증상이 없이 발견되기도 한다. 치료는 수술 적인 절제를 원칙으로 하나 보고된 예가 적은 관계로 예후에 대해서는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 그러나 조직학적으로는 양성에 속한다. 연세대학교 심장혈관센터에서는, 흉부 둔상을 주소로 내원한 40세 남자 환자에서 심장 초음파 검사결과 우연히 심장내의 종괴를 발견하였다. 종괴는 수술을 시행하여 절제하였으며 조직학적 검사상 양성 혈관종으로 판명되었다. 환자는 수술후 합병증이 없이 퇴원하였으며 수술후 1년간 관찰 추적중인데, 현재까지 재발없이 양호한 상태를 보이고 있다.

심장 내 정맥류는 내피세포로 피복된 단방성의 혈성 낭종의 조직학적 특징을 보이는 매우 드문 심장 내 질환으로 알려져 있다. 본 증례는 수술 전에 우심방에 발생한 점액종이 의심되어 수술적 절제를 시행한 환자에서 수술 후 심장 내 발생한 정맥류임을 확인한 2예에 대하여 보고하는 바이다.

This study was carried out to show how the Analytic Hierarchy Process technique could be used in setting the priority among selected diseases to increase the range of health insurance benefit. Thirty experts, including doctors (group1), experts for preventive medicine or public health(group2), and representatives of the insured(group 3), participated in the study panel that is conducted for priority setting. They were asked to evaluate the priorities among 6 selected criteria and then 42 selected diseases. The results were as follows; First, representatives of the insured think that the magnitude of out-of-pocket payment should have high priority while doctors think that effectiveness of treatment should have high priority. Second, all experts think that catastrophic diseases such as malignant neoplasm, major heart disease, and cerebral vascular disease should have high priority in health insurance coverage even though there is little difference among groups. These results can be useful to establish a systematic strategy for expanding health insurance benefit package.

A 15-year-old castrated mixed breed dog presented due to a 5-month history of cough and difficulty in ambulation. Necropsy showed multiple periosteal and intramedullary infiltrative masses in the appendicular skeleton. In addition, single and multiple neoplastic nodules were observed in several organs, including the lungs, liver, kidney, and heart. Microscopically, several skeletal neoplastic masses and nodules in the parenchymal organs revealed similar changes. The neoplastic cells were spindle- to polygonal-shaped with prominent osteoid production and occasional cartilaginous and bone formation. Based on the gross findings and histopathology results, the case was diagnosed as multicentric osteosarcoma with systemic metastases.

원발성 심장 림프종은 드문 질환으로 원발성 심장종양의 1.3%를 차지하며 절외성 림프종의 0.5%에서 발생한다. 그러나 악성 림프종에 의한 이차성 심장 전이는 비교적 빈번해서 약 8.7-27.2%로 보고 되고 있다. 66세남자 환자는 호흡곤란을 주소로 내원하였다. 경흉부 심초음파에서 우심방내에 종괴가 관찰되었다. 종양의 수술적 제거를 시행하였고 조직학적 검사에서 우심방을 침범한 악성 임파종으로 진단되었다. 환자는 급성 종격동염이 발생하였고 술후 9일째 패혈증과 수술부위 출혈로 사망하였다.

In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), chronic inflammation leads to unfavorable clinical outcomes and increases the risk of developing colorectal neoplasm (CRN); thereby highlighting the importance of endoscopically evaluating disease activity as well as detecting and characterizing CRN in patients with IBD. With recent advances in image-enhanced endoscopic (IEE) technologies, especially virtual chromoendoscopy (VCE) platforms, this review discusses state-of-the-art IEE techniques and their applicability in assessing disease activity and surveillance colonoscopy in patients with IBD. Among various IEE, VCE demonstrated the capacity to identify quiescent disease activity. And endoscopic remission defined by the new scoring system using VCE platform better predicted clinical outcomes, which may benefit the tailoring of therapeutic strategies in patients with IBD. High-definition dye-chromoendoscopy (HD-DCE) is numerically superior to high-definition white light endoscopy (HD-WLE) in detecting CRN in IBD; however, discrepancy is observed in the statistical significance. VCE showed comparable performance in detecting dysplasia to HD-WLE or DCE and potential for optical diagnosis to differentiate neoplastic from nonneoplastic lesions during surveillance colonoscopy. Applying these novel advanced IEE technologies would provide opportunities for personalized medicine in IBD and optimal treatment of CRN in patients with IBD.

심낭에서 발생한 원발성 섬유육종은 매우 드문 질환으로 주로 급격한 혈성 심낭 삼출을 유발한다. 평소에 간헐적인 흉부압박감을 느껴왔던 30세 남자 환자가 내원 하루 전 갑작스런 흉통과 심한 호흡곤란으로 근처 병원에서 협심증 진단 하에 전원되어 심초음파 검사, 흉부 전산화 단층촬영 및 자기공명검사 등 정밀검사를 시행받았고, 그 결과 심낭 기형종 파열에 의한 심낭압전의 진단하에 수술을 받았다. 수술소견 상 혈성 심낭 삼출액이 다량 있었고, 심낭 종괴는 완전 절제하였으나 동결절편검사 상악성종양이 의심되었다. 수술 후 병리조직 검사상 심낭 종괴는 원발성 심낭 섬유육종으로 진단되었고 심낭 삼출액에서 암세포는 발견되지 않았다. 환자는 특별한 합병증 없이 퇴원 후 전원되어 추가적인 방사선치료를 받고 있다. 임상적으로 긴급을 요하는 심낭압전을 동반한 원발성 심낭 섬유육종 1예를 치험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
