We have experienced a case of congenital heart disease who developed pulmonaryaspergilloma and then had open heart surgery associated with pulmonary resection. A 53 year old female patient was admitted of fever and chill without cyanosis and hemoptysis. Chest CT showed cavitary lesion with enhanced wall in right midle lung and huge pulmonary artery. Secundum atrial septal defect was identified by echocardiography and catheterization, preoperatively. The patient was identified finally as atrial septal defect associated with pulmonary aspergilloma, in operation and pathology.

The bronchogenic cyst is not so rare in incidence, but it is rare for this cyst to cause compression of trachea and main bronchi. A 6-year old female child was evaluated for coughing, fever and left total atelectasis. This patient had a history of frequent upper respiratory symptom like bronchial asthma since 6month after birth. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed external compression at distal trachea and both main bronchi. Computed Tomography revealed well demarcated homogeneous mass compressing distal trachea and main bronchi. The pathological examination showed bronchogenic cyst and this patient had uneventful recovery.

So intercostal tube drainage was done under the impression of the lung abscess. But mass density was remained on the follow-up chest X-ray, the patient had resection of the right upper and middle lobes of the lung.

Primary cardiac lipoma is an extremely rare condition. We reports a case of primary lipoma located mainly in the right atrium of the heart in a 58-year-old male patient. The initial presenting symptoms were dyspnea followed by rapidly progress!ve congestive heart failure. Echocardiogram revealed huge mass on right atrium with stalk arising from septum.

Spinal intradural cysticercosis is a rare manifestation of neurocysticercosis that may present as an isolated lesion. We report a case of sacral intradural cysticercosis misdiagnosed as a metastasis through cerebrospinal fluid seeding in a 48-year-old patient who underwent ependymoma surgery 3 months ago. We performed S1-2 laminectomy with the total removal of intradural lesion. The cysticercosis was confirmed histologically. The patient was given albendazole with corticosteroid.

A 4-year-old male developed the esophageal perforation after air-gun shut injury in the thorax. The esophageal perforation was found on esophagogram at the next day after the accident. Because of delayed diagnosis, mediastinitis and pyopneumothorax were developed. The general conditions of the patient were very critical with sepsis on admission. Therefore, two staged operation was planned. At the first stage, exclusion and diversion of the esophagus was carried out to treat chemical pneumonitis due to gastric contents through the esophago-bronchial fistula by gastroesophageal reflux. Clinical conditions of the patient were improved after the first stage operation. At the second stage, the esophageal reconstruction with right colon was performed.
