영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원 안과에서 1984년 3월부터 1994년 8월까지 병리조직검사로 확인된 안와종양 95례를 대상으로 임상적 고찰을 실시하였다. 안와종양의 발생빈도는 성별로는 남자가 46명(48.4%), 여성이 49명(51.6%)으로서 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 연령분포는 양성종양의 경우 전 연령층에 걸쳐 고루 분포하였고, 악성종양의 경우 10세 미만과 50-60대에 특히 많은 발생을 보였다. 광학 현미경으로 살펴본 병리조직학적 검사상 양성 대 악성의 비율은 82% : 18%로서 다른 연구에서 보다 양성종양의 비율이 높았다. 종류별로는 피부지방종(20례, 21%), 유피낭(11례, 11.6%), 점액류(8례, 8.4%), 지방종(7례, 7.4%), 다형생 선종(5례, 5.3%) 순이었다. 양성종양은 성인의 경우 점액류, 유피낭, 다형성 선종, 해면혈관종 순의 발생빈도를 보였고, 소아의 경우 피부지방종, 유피낭, 지방종, 망막모세포종 순의 발생빈도를 보였다. 악성종양은 망막모세포종 3례, 악성 흑색종 2례, 피지선암 2례, 상악동암 2례 등이었다. 악성종양중 사망한 경우는 17례 중 8례 (47.0%)로서 모두 이차성 혹은 전이성 안와종양이었다.

Purpose: Cranial fasciitis is a rare type of benign tumor that occurs mostly in children younger than 6 years. It arises from the deep fascia, periosteum, or fibromembranous layer that covers fontanelles. The etiology is unknown, although prior trauma has been postulated to be an underlying cause. There is a 2:1 male predominance. Despite its rapid growth, this tumor has a benign clinical course and can be cured by total excision. Methods: A 16-year-old male presented with a 3 cm-sized palpable mass in the left lateral eyebrow region that he first noticed 4 months before presentation. The mass had grown rapidly since it was first noticed. Preoperative brain computed tomography showed a well-demarcated mass approximately 3 cm in size extending from the subcutaneous layer to the periosteum. Preoperatively, the presumed diagnosis was a dermoid cyst. An operation was performed with the patient under general anesthesia. The subcutaneous mass was completely excised by periosteal dissection. Results: Histological diagnosis revealed the presence of cranial fasciitis. After 20 months of follow-up, there have been neither complications nor evidence of local recurrence besed on clinical examination. Conclusion: Although cranial fasciitis is quite rare, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis for lytic skull lesions in patient whose clinical presentation suggests this possibility. This condition could be occasionally mistaken for malignant or locally aggressive lesions. To prevent local recurrence, curettage of the underlying bone is recommended for patients with bone involvement.

Some infertile patients who need IVF-ET for conception have small ovarian cysts diagnosed in pelvic ultrasonography. It is well known that it is impossible or very difficult to perform controlled ovarian hyperstimulation(COH) for such patients because of the poor ovarian response or the possibility of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome(OHSS). To remove or to decrease the size of ovarian cysts, estrogen and progesterone (E-P) therapy with oral contraceptives for 2 cycles and transvaginal aspiration of ovarian cysts using transvaginal ultrasonography were performed in 36 IVF-cancelled infertile patients with ovarian cysts from February to October, 1988 at Seoul National University Hospital. Thirty-nine ovarian cysts($32.8{\pm}9.6$mm in mean diameter) were treated with E-P therapy, and their size decreased to $28.2{\pm}11.0mm$ after 1 cycle and significantly to $24.8{\pm}14.7mm$ after 2 cycles. After E-P therapy for 2 cycles, 7(17.9%) ovarian cysts disappeared in ultrasonography, 9(23.1%) decreased in size significantly, 18(46.2%) had no change in size and 5(12.8%) increased in size. Thirty-two ovarian cysts($30.2{\pm}9.7mm$) in 30 patients were aspirated transvaginally, and there was no significant decrease in size after follow-up transvaginal ultrasonography($27.8{\pm}12.5mm$). After transvaginal aspiration, 3(9.4%) ovarian cysts disappeared and 28(87.5%) had no change in size. The mean amount of the transvaginally aspirated cystic fluids was $19.6{\pm}13.2ml$, and there was no malignant cells in aspiration cytology. Four endometrioid cysts, one dermoid cyst and one mucinous cyst could be diagnosed in consideration of the findings of transvaginal ultrasonography and the characteristics and cytology of aspirated fluids. Therefore E-P therapy and transvaginal aspiration of ovarian cysts had made it possible to restart IVF program earlier in the IVF-cancelled patients with ovarian cysts.

Currarino syndrome is a hereditary syndrome characterized by the triad of a sacral bony defect, presacral mass and anorectal malformation. We retrospectively reviewed 13 Currarino syndrome patients who were treated in our center between 1997 and 2010. Demographic data, initial symptoms, initial diagnosis. pathologic diagnosis of presacral mass, associated anomalies and managements were analyzed. There were 8 boys and 5 girls. Four patients were diagnosed as Currarino syndrome immediately after birth with failure of passage of meconium and abdominal distension. Four patients underwent surgery for imperforate anus immediately after birth and W8re diagnosed as Currarino syndrome later and underwent reoperation. Three patients were diagnosed during work-up and management with of the tentative diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease. Diagnosis of the remaining two patients was at the age of 26 months and 9 years and anorectal malformation was not associated. Twelve patients showed hemi-sacrum and one patient showed bilateral sacral subtotal agenesis. Two patients without anorectal malformation underwent presacral mass excision, untethering of spinal cord and repair of myelomeningocele. Six out of 8 patients, excluding 3 that expired or were lost to follow up, with anorectal malformation underwent colostomy, presacral mass excision, untethering of spinal cord, repair of myelomeningocele, posterior sagittal anorectoplasty and colostomy repair. One patient underwent only posterior sagittal anorectoplasty after colostomy. One waits the scheduled operation only with Hegar dilatation. Pathologic examation of presacral masses showed myelomeningoceles in 4 patients, lipomyelomeningoceles in 3 patients and dermoid Cyst in one patient. Teratoma was combined in 2 patients. Eight patients needed neurosurgical operation for spinal cord problems. Seven patients had urologic anomalies and two of them underwent operation. Currarino syndrome should be considered as a differential diagnosis in pediatric patients with abdominal distension, constipation and anorectal malforlnation. For proper evaluation and treatment, a multi-disciplinary approach is recommended.

목 적 : 소아에서 경부 종류는 다양한 원인에 의해 나타나는데 대부분이 양성 경과를 보이며, 감염에 의한 염증성 반응인 경우가 많지만 선천성 낭종이나 악성 종양의 가능성도 있어 주의를 요한다. 본 연구에서는 경부 종류를 주소로 내원하여 조직검사를 시행한 환아들에서 그 원인과 임상 양상, 치료 경과를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2000년 1월부터 2004년 3월까지 충남대학교병원 소아과에 경부 종류를 주소로 내원하여 조직검사를 시행 받았던 환아 28례의 진료 기록을 중심으로 후향적으로 연구하였으며 조직검사 방법을 세침 흡인생검술, 심부생검술, 절제생검으로 나누어 연령, 성별, 임상 양상 및 조직검사 결과와 치료에 대한 반응 등을 조사하였다. 결 과 : 조직검사를 받은 환아들은 총 28례로 남아가 14례(50%), 여아가 14례(50%)였고 종류의 위치로 구분하면 목빗근 뒷부위가 19례(67.9%)로 가장 많았다. 말초혈액 검사나 혈청학적 검사 등의 검사실 검사 상 특이할만한 의미 있는 소견은 없었다. 세침 흡인생검술과 심부생검술을 먼저 시행 받은 환아들은 25례(89.3%) 있었는데 반응성 증식인 경우가 10례(40%)로 가장 많았고 육아종성 염증상태가 8례(32%), 괴사성 염증을 보였던 환아들은 4례(16%), 화농성 병변을 보였던 경우가 3례(12%) 있었다. 처음부터 절제생검을 하였던 환아들은 3례(10.7%)로 선천성 이상에 의한 갑상설관 낭과 표피 낭종이 있었으며 1례는 림프아구성 림프종으로 진단되었다. 결 론 : 소아에게서 흔하게 나타나는 경부 종류는 그 원인이 다양하지만 대부분 양성 경과를 보이며 세침 흡인생검술과 심부생검술은 전신 마취를 하지 않고도 안전하게 조직을 얻을 수 있는 방법으로 치료적 절제가 필요한 경우를 제외하고는 경부 종류의 조직을 얻어 조기에 진단하고 치료하는데 도움이 되고 있다.
