Clinical observation were performed on 25 cases of Mediastinal tumors or Cyst, those were admitted and treated at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Korea University Hospital, during the 6 years period from March 1973 to March 1979. The following results are obtained. Of 25 cases, 19 patients were males and 6 patients were females. Range of age varied widely from 2 years to 72 years. Approximately 28% were younger than 15 years of age at the time of diagnosis. The common subjective symptoms of the patients were anterior chest pain [36%], coughing [27%], dyspnea and a few incidence of hemoptysis. Diagnostic procedures were posteroanterior and lateral chest roentgenorgrams, Chest tomograms, Brochograms, Esophagograms, Mediastinoscopy, Scalene and Axillary Lymph node biopsy, and Needle aspiration biopsy. In the histological distribution on Mediastinal tumors in order of frequency, Neurogenic tumor 6 cases [25%], Lymphoma 5 cases [21%], Bronchogenic cyst 4 cases [17%], Pericardial cyst 2 cases [8.3%], Teratodermoid tumor 2 cases [8.3%], and each one case of Rhabdomyosarcoma, Seminoma, Cavernous hemangioma, Anthracosis, Tuberculoma were noted respectively. Of 24 cases of the histologically confirmed Mediastinal tumors, 6 cases [24%] were malignant. Thoracotomy for removal of tumor or cyst was performed on 17 cases and offered cure of all benign tumors. In 6 cases of malignant tumors, Chemotherapy with Vincristine, Cyclophosphamide and Prednisolone was given to 1 case Lymphoma. There was no case of postoperative mortality.

Brain tumors are a mixed group of neoplasms that originate from the intracranial tissues and the meninges with degrees of malignancy varying greatly from benign to aggressive. Not much is known about the epidemiology of primary malignant brain tumors (PMBTs) in our population in North-East India. In this analysis, an attempt was made to identify the age groups, gender distribution, topography and different histological types of PMBT with data from a hospital cancer registry. A total of 231 cases of PMBT were identified and included for the present analysis. Our analysis has shown that most of PMBT occur at 20-60 years of age, with a male to female ratio of 2.3:1. Some 70.5% of cases occurred in cerebral lobes except for the occipital lobe, and astrocytic tumors were the most common broad histological type. In our population the prevalence of PMBT is 1% of all cancers, mostly affecting young and middle aged patients. As brain tumors are rare, so case-control analytic epidemiological studies will be required to establish the risk factors prevalent in our population.

Background: Metastatic cancer with invasion of skin, soft tissue and skeletal muscle is not common. Examples presenting as soft tissue masses could sometimes lead to misdiagnosis with delayed or inappropriate management. The purpose of current study was to investigate clinical characteristics in the involvement of metastatic cancer. Materials and Methods: A total of 1,097 patients complaining of skin or soft tissue masses and/or lesions were retrospectively reviewed from January 2012 to June 2013. Tumors involving skin, soft tissue and skeletal muscle of head and neck, chest wall, abdominal wall, pelvic region, back, upper and lower extremities were included in the study. Results: Fifty-seven (5.2%) patients were recognized as having malignancies on histopathological examination. The most common involvement of malignancy was basal cell carcinoma, followed by cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, sarcoma and melanoma. The most common anatomical location in skin and soft tissue malignancies was head and neck (52.6% of the malignancies). Four (0.36%) of the malignant group were identified as metastatic cancer with the primary cancer source from lung, liver and tonsil and the most common site was upper extremities. One of them unexpectedly expired during the operation of metastatic tumor excision at the scalp. Conclusions: Discrimination between benign and malignant soft tissue tumors is crucial. Performance of imaging study could assist in the differential diagnosis and the pre-operative risk evaluation of metastatic tumors involving skin, soft tissue and skeletal muscle.

Backgroud and Objectives: Major salivary gland tumor is a rare disease with a largely unknown origin. And also corresponding to the diversity of histopathologic characteristics is an equally wide distribution of clinical behavior that makes treatment decisions difficult. The aim of this study is to analysis the clinical experience of our major salivary gland tumor and to suggest a guidline of management. Materials and Methods : We studied clinical manifestations and treatment results of 104 patients who were diagnosed as major salivary gland tumors. Tumor site, patient age and sex of the patients were analysed. Histopathologic diagnosis, treatment modality, lymph nodes metastasis, recurrence rate and 5-year survival rate were studied on malignant tumors. Results: 1) 48 patients were male and 56 patients were female. 2) Benign tumors were 79 cases. They consisted of 57 cases(72%) of parotid tumor, 22 cases(27%) of submandibular tumor. And pleomorphic adenoma was the most common benign tumor. 3) Malignant tumors were 25 cases and were consisted of 19 cases(76%) of parotid tumor, 4 cases(l6%) of submandibular tumor and 2 cases(8%) of sublingual gland tumor with high-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma as the most common cause. 4) In the malignant tumors, the number of stage I, II tumors was 14 and that of stage III, IV tumors was 11. Neck node metastasis was noted in 8 cases. 5) 8 cases of malignant tumor were died and all of them had high-grade malignancy. And they were dead before 17 months from the time of diagnosis. 6) Mean survival duration in the malignant salivary gland tumor was 56 months. 7) High-grade malignancy had a 5-year survival rate of 57.9%. A 5-year survival rate of TI, T2 patients was 92.9% and that of T3, T4 patients was 36.4%. That of patients who had neck node metastasis was 37.5% and that of those who had tree neck was 82.4%. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the survival rate is dependent on the tumor size, lymph node matastasis and histologic grade. And also the early diagnosis and radical surgery result in the increased survival rate and are effective for prevention of the tumor recurrance.

배경: 최근 종격동 내 양성 신경종에 대한 흉강경 수술은 비교적 보편적으로 시행되고 있다. 그러나 흉강 첨부에 위치하는 신경종에 대해서는 시야확보 및 접근의 어려움으로 인해 수술 도중 근처 신경 및 혈관 구조물의 손상으로 인한 합병증의 위험이 높다. 이에 저자들은 이 질환에서 흉강경 수술의 경험을 분석하고, 그 외 접근방법에 의한 수술을 비교하여 흉강경 수술의 적정성을 평가하고자 한다.대상 및 방법: 1996년 1월부터 2008년 9월까지 31예(남자 15명, 여자 16명)의 환자가 흉강 첨부에 위치하는 양성 신경종으로 절제수술을 시행 받았다. 3예의 환자가 von Recklinhausen씨 병 환자였다. 환자들의 나이는 8세부터 73세로 평균 45세였다. 종양 절제수술은 흉강경 수술이 14예, 측방 개흉술이 10예, 경부 및 경흉부 절개술이 6예 그리고 정중흉골절개술이 1예였다. 흉강경 수술(VATS군)과 그 외 침습적인 방법에 의한 수술(OP군) 결과를 의무기록을 통해 후향적으로 비교 분석하였다. 결과: VATS군에서 조직학적으로 신경초종(schwannoma) 9예, 신경섬유종(neurofibroma) 4예, 신경절신경종(ganglioneuroma)이 1예였다. 수술시간은 VATS군이 평균 113분으로 OP군의 153분 보다 적게 소요되었고, 흉관 거치기간 및 수술 후 입원기간도 VATS군이 각각 2일, 5일로 타군의 5일, 11일에 비해 짧았다(p<0.05). 흉강경 수술의 경우 개흉술로의 전환은 없었다. 술 후 합병증은 VATS군 경우 호너씨 증후군 2예 및 상완 신경총과 관련된 신경증상이 2예에서 발생하였고, OP군은 상기 증상이 각각 1예씩, 성대마비 증상이 1예, 그리고 비신경계 합병증이 2예에서 발생하였다. 흉강 첨부에 위치하는 양성 신경종의 흉강경을 이용한 절제수술 후 신경계 합병증 발생의 가장 의미 있는 위험인자는 비적출적 방법(non-enucleating method)에 의한 종양 절제인 경우였다(p=0.029). 결론: 흉강경을 이용한 흉강 첨부의 양성 신경종의 제거술은 타 방법에 비해 비침습적인 유용한 방법이다. 그리고 흉강경을 이용한 종양 적출술(enucleation)은 신경계 합병증 발생을 줄일 수 있는 방법이라고 생각된다.
