Uterine myoma is benign tumor formed from muscular and connective tissues, which is one of the most common tumors found in women's reproductive organs. Uterine myoma is the most common pelvic tumor and they are diagnosed in up to15 to 20% of women in pubertal period. Although myoma is generally considered to be a slowly growing tumor, in 20-40% of women at the age of 35 and more have uterine myoma of significant sizes with severe clinical symptoms. The most common symptoms include abdominal pain or discomfort, low abdominal pressure sensation, hypermenorrhea and urinary symptoms. The treatment of uterine myoma is just observation, operation and hormone replacement therapy. We treated 6 outpatients who has uterine myoma and visited Kyungwon InCheon Oriental Hospital with Herb-medication and acupuncture. So we have gotten good result from them. After 6 outpatients had taken Guichulpazing-tang(歸朮破?湯), the symptoms were　improved and the size of the uterine myoma was reduced significantly, It proves　that oriental medical treatment is effective on the patients with uterine myoma, but　continuous studies are needed.

데스모이드 종양은 섬유아세포양 증식을 특징으로 하는 심부 섬유종증으로 조직학적으로 양성이지만 침습적인 성장 양상과 높은 재발율을 보인다. 방사선학적으로 초음파상 경계가 비교적 뚜렷한 고형종괴로 보이며 내부의 에코는 비특이적이며 CT 소견상 근섬유의 주행방향을 따라 길쭉한 모양을 보이고 조영제 주입전에는 주변 근육과 비슷한 등음영 또는 약간 저음영을 보이고 조영후에는 시간이 감에 따라 점차 조영증강되는 소견을 보인다. 저자들은 급속조영 CT를 시행하여 시간에 따른 조영 양상을 관찰함으로써 종괴의 조직학적 구성을 짐작할 수 있었고 병리조직학적으로 확진된 데스모이드 종양 2례를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

A 12-year-old intact male Cocker spaniel dog was presented for evaluation of lethargy and abdominal distension. Clinical examination revealed a round, palpable mass in the middle of the abdomen. Abdominal computed tomography showed a round soft tissue mass ($width{\times}height{\times}length$, $25{\times}13{\times}15cm^3$) without regional invasion and distant metastasis. Cytologic evaluation of the mass revealed adipose tissue-derived cells having vacuolated cytoplasm, indistinct borders, large nucleus and ropy chromatin pattern with variable sized lipid droplets. Complete surgical resection of the mass was performed and the mass was histopathologically diagnosed as primary omental lipoma. The dog has been recovered well without any additional clinical signs, and there was no relapse over the 8 months follow-up period. The clinical features and prognosis of the dog with primary omental adipocytic tumors have been described in this report.

Factors such as location, volume, and the type of neoplasm complicate achieving tumor control. Electrochemotherapy (ECT) is a supplementary treatment for inoperable neoplasms in veterinary patients. Three dogs were diagnosed with a tumor. Two were squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and the other was liposarcoma, each with a single tumor with the size range of 1 to 5 cm. The tumor locations were the cervical, oral, and abdominal cavity. ECT was selected as a treatment. Bleomycin was injected intratumorally at the dose of 0.5 to 1.0 mg/㎤. Five minutes after the injection, electric pulses applied in a sequence of eight pulses lasting 100 μsec each, were delivered in 1,000 V/cm. An evaluation was performed after 1 week, and the next session was administered 2 weeks later. In a patient with oral SCC, the tumor was in partial remission after two sessions of ECT. Another patient with SCC on her neck was showed complete remission after 2 weeks of ECT administration. A third patient showed stable disease for 8 weeks. Complications were mild and transient and included skin necrosis, edema, local pain, and gait disturbance. ECT is a valid adjuvant, especially for inoperable, cutaneous, or accessible intra-abdominal tumors.

Objective: To review ovarian cancer cases in children and adolescents in Siriraj Hospital and assess the prognosis, recurrence of disease, and reproductive outcomes after treatment. Materials and Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted in ovarian cancer patients 21 years and younger who had been treated at Siriraj Hospital between January 1990 and December 2009. Medical records were reviewed and relevant data were recorded. Results: A total of 48 cases met the criteria; their mean age was 16.4 years. Abdominal distension was the major symptom. 91.6% were germ cell tumors and the remaining cases were sex cord-stromal and epithelial tumors. More than half (25/48 cases) presented with stage I disease. The most common used chemotherapy regimen for germ cell tumors was BEP (bloemycin, etoposide, cisplatin). Most of patients had favorable outcomes; 46/48 cases had complete remission and retained their good health at the time of the review. We had only one recurrent case and one dead case. Ten of contacted patients had married and 3 of them had successful full-term pregnancies. Conclusions: Ovarian malignancy in children and adolescents is a rare disease. The authors reported 48 cases in 20 year-period of work. Most of them have favorable outcomes. Return of ovarian function and fertility are the topics of interest.

Lymphangiomas are malformations of the lymphatic system accounting for approximately 5% of all benign tumors in infants and children. Abdominal lymphangiomas are rare, and can arise from either the retroperitoneum, gastrointestinal tract, or the mesentery of the abdominal viscera. Lymphangioma involving the whole mesentery is particularly rare. Most lymphangiomas are detected during infancy or childhood, but intraabdominal lymphangiomas such as mesentery are not found until adulthood. We report here on a patient with uncommon lymphangioma involving the whole mesentery who presented with fever and abdominal pain. This patient is unusual because he was confirmed through core needle biopsy which showed variable sized lymphatic spaces representing a immunoreactive for D2-40 antibody with involvement of the whole mesentery. No cases of mesenteric lymphangioma confirmed preoperatively have been previously reported in Korea.

하대정맥에 생기는 평활근육종은 매우 드문 악성종양이다. 평활근육에서 기원하는 종양은 대정맥의 가장 흔한 원발성 종양이며, 하대정맥이 가장 흔히 발생하는 곳이다. 환자는 65세의 여자 환자로 입원 3주전부터 시작된 호흡곤란과 복부 불쾌감을 호소하여 내원 하였다. 복부 전산화 단층촬영과 하대정맥 조영술에서 우심방에서 우측 신정맥 위까지 확장된 하대정맥 종양이 보였으며, 또한 하대정맥을 폐쇄시키고 있었다. 하대정맥의 평활근육종으로 진단 후 수술은 종양을 제거하고, 하대정맥을 인조혈관 패치를 이용하여 재건하였다. 수술 후 6개월 간의 추적 관찰 중에 실시한 복부 전산화 단층촬영에서 재발과 하대정맥의 폐쇄소견은 없었다.

Background: Primary hepatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (PHNEC) is rarer than extrahepatic gastrointestinal neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC). It is difficult to make a correct diagnosis and poses a challenge for management. Materials and Methods: Ten PHNEC patients were admitted to our hospital from June 2006 to June 2011. Laboratory tests and imaging scans were performed for diagnosis and exclusion of extrahepatic NEC. All patients were AFP - and CA199-. Seven patients had solid tumors with cystic changes on ultrasonography, CT and/or MRI. For the initial treatment, four patients received combined-therapy and six monotherapy. Considering overall treatment, six patients received combined-therapy and four patients monotherapy. Staging criteria of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC, AJCC 7th edition) were used to differentiate the stage of all patients: 3 patients were stage I, 2 stageII, 4 patients stageIII and 1 stageIV. All patients were followed up and clinical data were gathered. Results: The median follow-up duration was 38.5 months. The 1-year, 2-year, 3-year and 6-year disease-free survival was 80.0%, 46.2% and 46.2% and 0% respectively. The overall survival rates were 100%, 67.1%, 67.1% and 33.6% respectively. Patients in early-stages (I/II) had similar disease-free and overall survival as those in advanced-stages (III/IV). Patients with monotherapy had significant shorter disease-free and overall survival than the patients with combination-therapy. Conclusions: PHNEC has a unique specificity during its occurrence and development. The staging criteria of PHC might not be suitable for the PHENT. More convenient and effective features need to be found in imaging and laboratory detection. Surgical resection, TACE, chemotherapy and radiofrequency ablation should be performed in combination and actively for patients with PHNEC or recurrence to get the best effectiveness; they might extend the disease-free and overall survival.

본 논문은 복부 컴퓨터단층촬영(CT) 영상에서의 자동화된 신장 및 신장암 추출에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 필름으로 보관된 복부 CT 영상을 디지털화하여 영상분석을 수행하였으며, 명암값에 의한 임계값(Gray-Level Thresholding) 처리 기법을 사용하여 신장만을 분리하였다. 신장암의 샘플영상에 대한 텍스쳐(Texture)분석 결과를 토대로, 대표적인 통계적 모멘트 값인 평균 및 표준 편차값을 동질성 시험 기준으로 삼아 신장암의 SEED를 선택하였다. 선택된 SEED의 중앙 픽셀을 시작점으로 하여, 명암값을 동질성 시험기준으로 사용한 영역확장(Region Growing) 방법을 적용하여 신장암을 추출하였다. GE사의 Hispeed Advantage CT 스캐너를 사용하여 촬영된 9개의 예, 총 113매 영상을 Lumisys LS-40 필름 디지타이저로 디지털화 하여 적용한 결과, 85%의 신장암 추출 민감도를 가진다.
