Although Behcet`s disease, characterized by oro-genital ulceration and ocular abnormalities, is rare and unfamiliar disease to thoracic surgeon, one must remember that it can cause serious complications on the vascular system such as thrombophlebitis,thrombotic obstuction and aneurysm.We report a case of multiple arterial aneurysms with Behcet`s disease. This 31 year-old female had five times surgical interventions during short period[19 months]. 6 aneurysms were developed in this case, 3 were spontaneous aneurysms, 2 were anastomotic aneurysms and 1 was false aneurysm due to arterial puncture.

This report demonstrates a case of tooth autotransplantation into the oroantral fistula site after extraction. Oroantral fistula can be developed when maxillary molar or premolar is extracted in case the root of tooth closed to or inside maxillary sinus. In most of cases, this would heal spontaneously without any interventions. Sometimes, many procedures including flap closure would be used judging from perforating size and previous inflammation. Although fistula size of this case is not that large, closure with tooth autotransplanted has successfully accomplished. So this report will discuss about several clinical aspects.

Cavernous lymphangioma is a benign tumor of lymphatic origin encountering most frequently in young children, and composed of softly fluctuated monolocular or multilocular cystic masses which developed from embryonic outpouching of the venous system. The prevailing site of this tumor Is at the anterolateral neck region particularly posterior triangle, and occasionally axillary, mesentery and spleen etc. Recently, we have experienced one case of left axillary cavernous lymphangioma, which surgically removed successfully and confirmed histopathologically. We want to report one case of left axillary large cavernous lymphangioma with a brief review of the relevant literatures.

Among varieties of the mediastinal tumors, benign developmental cysts [Entergenous cysts] occur about 10% of them. From the primitive foregut, tracheobronchial tree and esophagus develop at 3 weeks of its embryonal age, and bronchogenic cyst arises from accessory or supernumerary lung bud. Usually it remains isolated with surrounding structures, and causes no specific symptoms. But few cases of bronchogenic cysts have fistulous communication with esophagus causing compressive symptoms. We report a case of unusual complicated case of bronchogenic cyst with review of literatures.

We experienced a very rare case of pulmonary blastoma in a 29 year old female. She complained of left chest pain and dyspnea for 1 month. The characteristic feature of this tumor is it`s biphasic pattern consisting of a spindle cell stroma containing glandular structures. A serial check of simple chest X-ray and computed tomography revealed a growing huge lung mass occupying whole left thorax. We successfully removed the upper lobe of left lung with a huge tumor mass. Pathologic study revealed this tumor as pulmonary blastoma. We report a case with review of literature.

Thoracic outlet syndrome presents with symptoms resulting from pressure on either the subclavian vessels or the lower trunk of the brachial plexus. It may be caused by a number of abnormalities, including degenerative or bony disorders, trauma to the cervical spine, fibromuscular bands, vascular abnormalities, and spasm of the anterior scalene muscle. We experienced a case of thoracic outlet syndrome [ caused by cervical rib .We report a case with review of literatures.
