목적: F-18 FDG PET은 근골격계 종양에서 양성과 악성병변을 감별하는 유용성에 대하여 다양한 결과가 보고되고 있다. 저자들은 F-18 FDG를 이용한 PET/CT로 근골격계 종양의 maxSUV를 분석하고 비교하여 유용성을 알아보았다. 대상 및 방법: 치료 전 46개 병소(연부 조직 종양 양성/악성 : 11/12, 골종양 양성/악성 9/14)에 대하여 F-18 FDG PET/CT를 시행하였으며, 조직학적 검사로 확진하였다. 악성과 양성을 구분하는 maxSUV 절단값은 연부 조직 종양에서는 4.1, 골종양에서는 3.05로 하였다. 결과: 연부 조직 종양에서 양성(R=11; maxSUV $3.4{\pm}3.2$)과 악성(n=12; maxSUV $14.8{\pm}12.2$) 간에 maxSUV는 통계학적으로 유의하게 (p<0.001) 차이가 있었다. 민감도와 특이도는 각각 83%, 91%였다. 그러나 골종양에서는 양성 종양(n=9; maxSUV $5.4{\pm}4.0$)과 악성 골종양(n=14; maxSUV $7.3{\pm}3.2$) 간에 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 연부 조직 종양에서는 결절성 근막염이 위양성으로 나타났고(maxSUV=12.4) 골종양에서는 섬유성 골이형성증과 랑게르한스세포 조직구증식증 2예 및 골모세포종이 있었다. 결론: 연부 조직 종양에서 maxSUV는 양성과 악성을 감별하는데 유용하였다. 그러나 골종양의 경우에는 maxSUV가 낮은 경우에는 악성을 배제할 수 있었으나, maxSUV가 높은 경우에는 조직학적으로 조직구나 섬유모세포 등이 포함된 종양의 감별진단을 고려하여야한다.

저자들은 약 4년에 걸친 주타액선 종양에 대한 치료 경험을 통하여, 성공적인 치료를 위한 필요조건으로 다음과 같은 내용들을 고려하여야 할 것으로 생각하였다. 즉 타액선 종양은 다양한 조직학적 특징과 임상 경과를 보이는 질환군이므로 수술 전 세침흡인생검 등에 의한 정확한 병리조직학적 진단의 뒷받침이 필수적이라는 점이다. 또한 악성 종양의 경우, 질병분류 및 병기설정 방식이 완전히 통일되어 있지 아니한 상황에서 특정 질환의 특정 병기에 한 가지 치료방법을 고집하기보다는 다양한 종류의 치료를 복합적으로 사용하는 데에 적극적일 필요가 있다고 생각하였다. 특히 예후에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 요소를 가지고 있을 경우에는 적극적인 외과적 절제 및 수술 후 방사선 치료 등을 통하여 생존율을 높이는데 관심을 기울여야 할 것으로 생각되었다. 더 나아가 절개선 등 수술흔이 가지는 미용적 문제점 등도 고려하여 전체적인 치료의 만족도를 향상시키는데 기여해야 할 것으로 생각하였다.

Background: Benign tumors of the esophagus are rare. They include leiomyomas, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, neurofibromas and lipomas. In this study we present our experience with enucleation of these 13 tumors for 10 years. Material and Method: A retrospective review of patients who underwent enucleation of benign esophageal tumors between 1995 and 2005 was conducted. Symptom, tumor location and size, operative approach and outcomes after surgery were recorded. Result Thirteen patients were identified(leiomyoma: n=12; GIST n=l). Eight patients were men, five patients were women. Most of them were 4rd and 5th decade. The tumors arose in the lower(7 patients) and middle(6 patients) thirds of the esophagus. Eleven patients underwent a thoracotomy; the remainder were resected using VATS. All of patients underwent simple enucleation. There were no complications and recurrences after surgery. Conclusion: We present our experience with enucleation of these 12 leiomyomas and one GIST for 10 years.

Canine splenic tumors (STs) are commonly diagnosed during imaging examinations, such as in X-ray and ultrasonography examinations, suggesting their higher prevalence, especially in older dogs. Despite this high prevalence, there are no effective treatment options for STs because of the difficulties in determining therapeutic targets. However, recently, the importance of microRNAs (miRNAs) has evolved owing to their ambivalent characteristics. Biomarkers and novel therapies using miRNAs have been well-studied in human cancer research compared to canine research, except for mammary gland tumors. Therefore, this study aimed to comparatively analyze miRNA expression profiles according to malignancy and biopsy sites to identify novel therapeutic and diagnostic targets. Tissue samples were collected directly from splenic tumor masses and immersed in RNAlater solution for further analysis. To investigate differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between tumor and normal tissues, we used RNA-seq and miRNA microarray analysis. Then, functional analysis based on DEGs was conducted to sort tumor-related DEGs. We found that cfa-miR-150 was upregulated in benign tumors, whereas cfa-miR-134 was upregulated in malignant tumors. Despite limited information on canine miRNAs, we identified two potential biomarkers for the differential diagnosis of STs.

Primary neoplasms of the pericardium are rarer than those originating within the myocardium or endocardium and, moreover, primary benign tumors of the pericardium are of much rare occurence. Mahaim[1945] was able to collect 84 cases of pericardial tumors, the majority of which were malignant. A case of primary benign fibromyxoma of the pericardium is presented. This tumor arouse in the right anterior aspect of the pericardium, through which the phrenic nerve was penetrated. The tumor was measured 10X6X6 cm in size and 120 gm in weight. Total excision of the mass was accomplished by antero-lateral thotacotomy incision, resulting complete cure. This is the first case of primary benign fibromyxoma of the pericardium on literatures in our knowledge.

Meningioma is relatively common, benign, and extra-axial tumor accounting for about 20% of primary brain and spinal cord tumors. The World Health Organization (WHO) classified these tumors into Grade I (benign), Grade II (atypical), and Grade III (anaplastic) meningioma. Grade I meningioma which is slowly growing tumor and have some rare subtypes. Among them, metaplastic subtype is defined as a tumor containing focal or widespread mesenchymal components including osseous, cartilaginous, lipomatous, myxoid or xanthomatous tissue, singly or in combinations. We report a rare metaplastic meningioma overspreading nearly whole cerebral convexity from main extra-axial tumor bulk in the parietal lobe.

Mammary gland tumors are the most common neoplasms occurring in female dogs. The treatments of mammary gland tumors are surgery, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and radiational therapy, but surgical removal remains widely accepted treatment option for mammary gland tumors. The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical outcomes of dogs which are performed surgical excision. Medical records were reviewed for dogs(79 cases) with mammary gland tumors treated surgically at Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital in Seoul National University from 2001 to 2005. While 49 cases(62.0%) were benign, 30 cases(38.0%) were malignant tumors. The mean age of these dogs was 10.4 years old(range $1{\sim}16$ years). The maximal diameter of malignant tumors were various, whereas most of the benign tumors were smaller than 3cm(36 cases, 73.5%). In 12 cases(15.2%), regional lymph nodes were enlarged and lymph nodes of 3 cases had resected surgically. The performed techniques were total mastectomy, regional mastectomy, simple mastectomy, lumpectomy and unilateral mastectomy in order. Twenty-eight cases(35.4%) had postoperative complications consisted of recurrence of tumors, necrosis, dehiscence, delayed healing and edema of limbs. The recurrence rates of benign and malignant mammary gland tumors were 8 cases(16.3%) and 6 cases(20.0%). Metastasis rate was 7 cases(8.9%). Although postoperative complications were no remarkable difference in recurrence rates among surgical techniques in this study, other complications such as edema of limbs, necrosis, dehiscence and delayed healing were remarkable difference as surgical techniques. Therefore, this result suggest that choice of appropriate surgical techniques should be determined according to each patient's physical status and characteristics of tumors.

Granular cell tumors (GrCTs) of the spinal cord are rare benign tumors with a high rate of local recurrence. Only 6 cases of spinal GrCTs have been reported. GrCT is difficult to distinguish from other benign tumors such as schwannoma using imaging. A radiological "speckled dots" sign may be a useful differentiating feature of GrCT based upon experience with two cases and a review of the literature.
