Mouse malignant T-lymphoma CS21 cells can grow when cocultured with CAl2 lymph node stromal cells, but they undergo apoptotic cell death with DNA fragmentation when separated from CA12 stromal cells. In the course of examining the effects of the soluble factor (s) secreted by CAl2 stromal cells on CS2l cell growth, we found that thiols including cysteine promoted CS2l cell growth. P388 cell growth was also promoted by various thiols. These results suggest that thiols including cysteine participate in CA12 and P388 cell growth.

Spindle cell lipoma, a rare variant of lipoma, is a benign tumor found in the posterior neck and shoulder. A 24-year-old man with a close family history of malignant lymphoma had presented with a large, firm, nodular mass found in the right supraclavicular area. Excision of the deeply located mass revealed a pale yellow, rubbery nodule which grossly resembled an enlarged lymph node, with a variant of lymphoma as a primary suspect. However, pathological studies revealed the lesion to be a spindle cell lipoma. Although atypical in location, spindle cell lipoma should always be kept in differential diagnosis of a newly-noted soft tissue mass, as this entity may be easily cured by simple excision.

Primary lymphoid tumors of orbit are rare. Sometimes they pose difficulty in differentiating malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the orbit from benign lymphoid hyperplasia or pseudotumor of the orbit by growth characteristics and histologic examination of a biopsy specimen. Consequently, systemic work-up for staging of the disease before the initiation of treatment is essential. All lymphoid tumors of the orbit are radiosensitive and the response to radiotherapy is rapid and complete. Radiation dose for permanent control varies from 2,400 to 4,500rads in $2.5\~4$ weeks depending on extent and location of the disease. A case of localized lymphoma of the orbit was treated with radiotherapy. For the following 15 months, the patient was clinically free of disease without any evidence of side effects of radiation treatment.

Primary tumors arising from the external auditory canal (EAC) are rare. We describe two cases of mass lesions within the EAC causing slowly progressive hearing loss without otorrhea or otalgia. Otoendoscopic examination demonstrated total obstruction of the EAC, and pure tone audiometry revealed conductive hearing loss. Based on the findings of the histopathologic examination, one patient was diagnosed with venous hemangioma that was treated using surgical resection, and the other patient was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that was treated using external-beam radiation therapy. Although primary tumors in the EAC are rare, both benign tumors such as venous hemangiomas and malignant lesions such as DLBCL should be considered as possible differential diagnoses of mass lesions in the EAC.

원발성 심장 림프종은 원발성 심장 종양의 1.3%를 차지하는 드문 악성 종양으로, 절외성 림프종(Extronodal Lymphoma)의 한 형태로 심장 및 심장막에 발생한다. 급격히 진행하는 심부전, 부정맥, 심낭 삼출 및 심장 압전 등의 증상이 나타난다. 원발성 심장 림프종의 진단은 심초음파 및 흉부 단층촬영 및 자기공명영상 등이 이용되며, 종양에 대한 경정맥하 조직 생검과 심낭 삼출액의 세포학적 및 면역생화학 검사로 확진할 수 있다 원발성 심장 림프종은 진단이 지연되거나, 진단 시 이미 장기 내침범으로 인한 진행된 단계로 예후가 불량하다 따라서 조기 진단과 완전한 심장 종양의 절제가 필요하며, 수술 후 생존율 개선을 위해 적극적인 전신 항암 요법 및 방사선 요법이 보강요법으로 시행되어야 한다. 본 증례에서는 우심실 유입로와 방실구에 종괴의 광범위한 침윤이 있었고, 우심방 내로 침범이 되어 있어 수술적 절제가 불가능하였다. 종괴의 조직생검으로 확진 후 항암요법 및 방사선요법으로 증상의 개선 및 종괴의 크기 감소 소견을 보였다. 저자들은 우심실에서 발생하여 우심방을 침범한 원발성 심장 비호지킨써 림프종을 경험하였으며 그 조기 결과를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고한다.

악성 종양은 조기 진단을 통하여 적절한 치료를 가능한 빨리 시작하는 것이 예후에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 그러나 질병 초기에는 증상이 모호하며 방사선학적 검사나 조직 검사에서도 정확한 진단이 어려운 경우가 많아 진단시 악성 종양을 염두에 두지 않는다면 감염이나 골절로 오인하여 부적절한 치료를 받게 될 수 있다. 따라서 감염이나 골절시 진단이 확실치 않은 경우 정기적인 추시관찰과 검사로 악성종양의 가능성을 배제하는 것이 중요하다. 저자들은 피로골절로 오인되어 관혈적 정복술 시행후 추후 폐전이가 있었던 대퇴골 근위부의 골육종과, 결핵으로 오인되어 결핵 치료를 시행했던 유잉 육종, 골육종과 악성 림프종을 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

Background: The prevalence of non-squamous cell malignant tumors of the oral cavity has not been evaluated in Iran extensively. The aim of this study was to evaluate epidemiological aspects of the oral malignancies with non-squamous cell origin during a 43-year period in the Faculty of Dentistry, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, the records of all patients referred to dental school of Mashhad university of medical sciences in northeast of Iran, during the period 1971-2013 were evaluated. All confirmed samples of oral non squamous cell malignant tumors were included in this study. Demographic information including age, gender and location of the lesions were extracted from patient's records. Data were analyzed using SPSS statistical soft ware, Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests. Results: Among 11,126 patients, 188 (1.68%) non squamous cell malignant tumors were found, with mean age of 39.9 years ranging from 2 to 92 years. The most common tumors were mucoepidermoid carcinoma (33 cases) and lymphoma (32 cases). Non squamous cell malignant tumors occurred almost equally in men (94 cases) and women (93 cases). Most (134 cases) of them were located peripherally with high frequency in salivary glands (89 cases) and 52 cases were centrally with high frequency in the mandible (38 cases). Conclusions: More findings in this survey were similar to those reported from other studies with differences in some cases; it may be due to variation in the sample size, geographic and racial differences in tumors.

Author made a clinical study of 48 cases of primary mediastinal tumors experienced in the dept. of the thoracic and cardiovascular surgery of Pusan National University Hospital during the 12 years period from march 1978 to march 1989. There were 34 males and 14 females. Their age distribution was from 4 months to 70 years, with the mean age of 34.4 years. 8.3 % of the patients were younger than 15 years old. There were teratoma 14 cases[29%], thymoma 11 cases[23%], neurogenic tumor 10 cases[21 %], lymphoma 6 cases[13 %], benign cyst 6 cases[13 %], and one case of fibrous histiocytoma in the histological distribution. The malignant tumors were 12 cases[25 %]. The common symptoms were chest pain and discomfort[35.4], coughing[18.8], general weakness and dyspnea. 16.7% of the patients were asymptomatic at admission. The successful removal was done in all cases of benign mediastinal tumors. In malignant cases, the surgical removal could be done in 5 cases. There was not postop. mortality. The frequent complications were atelectasis, infection, bleeding.
