The primary intra-osseous carcinoma (PIOC) is a very rare lesion. PIOC is an odontogenic carcinoma defined as a squamous cell carcinoma arisinig within a jaw having no initial connection with the oral mucosa, and presumably developing from residues of the odontogenic epithelium. The authors diagnosed a 51-year-old female as primary intra-osseous carcinoma after undergoing clinical, radiological and histological examinations. The characteristics were as followed : 1. The patient complained of gingival bleeding on the premolar area in the left maxilla 2. The conventional radiograms showed a relatively well-defined unilocular radiolucent lesion from the mesial aspect of the upper left canine to the mesial aspect of the upper left 1st molar. The 2nd premolar was separated from the 1st molar and the floor of the maxillary sinus was elevated by the lesion. There was a external root resorption of the upper left canine, the 1st premolar, and the 2nd premolar. 3. On the computed tomograms, the osteolytic bony lesion expanded the cortical plate of the left maxilla and displaced the margin of the left maxillary sinus upwards. But the bony lesion was separated from the maxillary sinus by a bony septum. 4. Bone scintigram with /sup 99m/Tc demonstrated the increased uptake in the left maxilla. Sonograms in the neck area and chest P-A radiogram didn't show any abnormalities. 5. Histologically, the tumor islands infiltrating into the surrounding bone increased in alveolar pattern, composed of the malignant cells, and there was a necrosis in the center of the tumor islands.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) in the lacrimal gland is a very rare disease with poor overall prognosis. Its primary treatment is surgical excision, including orbital exenteration and radical orbitectomy, which is combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Age, histopathologic type, bone invasion, and tumor extent are known factors that affect the prognosis of ACC. Furthermore, perineural invasion is highly associated with local tumor recurrence and tumor base invasion. Here, we report a rare case of ACC in the lacrimal gland with superior sagittal sinus invasion that repeatedly recurred after the surgical excision.

목적: 최근에 세포증식성 PET 방사성의약품으로 소개되고 있는 FLT를 이용하여 국소진행성 유방암 환자에서 FLT-PET 영상을 시행하여 종양 영상으로서의 향후 적용 가능성을 살펴보고, FDG와 FLT의 섭취양상에 대한 비교 및 정상 장기에 대한 섭취분포 양상을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 본 연구는 2005년 8월부터 2006년 11월까지 총 22명(모두 여성, 평균나이; 42세)의 국소진행성 유방암 진단 받은 환자들을 대상으로 하였으며, 모든 종양의 조직형은 침윤성관상피암이었다. 모든 환자를 대상으로 하여 conventional imaging workup, FLT PET/CT, FDG-PET를 시행하였다. MRI로 측정 한 종양 장경의 평균은 $7.2{\pm}3.4$ cm 이었다. 원발 병소와 림프절 섭취에 대한 육안적인 분석과 반정량적인 분석(SUVmax, $SUV_{75}$, TB ratio)을 하였고, 림프절 섭취에 대한 FDG-PET와 FLT-PET의 일치도를 살펴보았다. 정상장기에서의 FLT와 FDG 분포양상을 비교하기 위해 간과 골수의 SUVmax와 $SUV_{75}$을 측정하였다. 결과: 모든 원발 종양근 FLT-PET와 FDG-PET에서 섭취 증가를 나타냈다. MR로 측정한 종양 장경과 FLT-PET 또는 FDG-PET의 SUVmax간에 유의한 상관관계는 없었다(p>0.05). 종양의 SUVmax (FLT $6.5{\pm}5.2$ vs FDG $8.3{\pm}4.9$, p=0.02)와 $SUV_{75}$ (FLT $5.3{\pm}4.3$ vs FDG $6.9{\pm}4.2$, p=0.02)에서는 FDG가 FLT보다 유의하게 높았으며, 중등도의 유의한 상관관계를 보였다(SUVmax; rho=0.450, p=0.04 / $SUV_{75}$; rho=0.472, p=0.03). 반면, TB 섭취비는 FLT가 FDG보다 현저히 높았다(FLT $11.7{\pm}7.7$ vs FDG $6.3{\pm}3.8$, p=0.001). 림프절 섭취 분포에 대한 비교에서는 FDG와 FLT-PET는 34개 구역에서 33개가 일치하였다. FLT와 FDG의 정상 장기의 섭취분포를 보았을 때 FLT는 간(FLT $4.2{\pm}1.2$ vs FDG $1.8{\pm}0.4$)과 골수(FLT $7.4{\pm}1.2$ vs FDG $1.6{\pm}0.4$)의 섭취가 FDG보다 높고 환자마다 다양하였다. 결론: 국소진행성 유방암에서 FTLT는 FDG보다 종양 섭취도는 낮지만 종양과 전이 림프절 섭취가 PET에서 잘 관찰되었다. FLT-PET는 종양 대 주변섭취의 비가 FDG-PET보다 높았으며, 전이 림프절의 진단에서도 FDG-PET와 높은 일치율을 보여 종양 진단 영상으로 유용할 것으로 생각된다. FLT는 정상 간과 골수 조직의 섭취가 높고 개인차가 커서 이들 장기의 전이를 진단하는 데는 제한적일 것으로 생각된다.

Lateral eyebrow mass with primary skull lesion are rare in pediatric population. Although epidermoid cyst and dermoid cyst are the most commonly encountered skull lesions in pediatric population, Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is rarely reported. We report a case of LCH arising from the lateral eyebrow with osteolytic lesion involving the frontal bone. A 5-year-old boy was presented with a hard, fixed mass in his lateral eyebrow. Contrast magnetic resonance imaging revealed inhomogeneous enhancement of the mass with direct invasion of the frontal bone and adjacent dura mater. Under general anesthesia, linear incision at the lateral eyebrow region was made. Intraoperative evaluation revealed hard, fixed and well-defined soft tissue mass. The final extirpated mass was $2.5{\times}2.4cm$ in size, and was accompanied by a $1{\times}1cm$ sized defect on the frontal bone with intact dura mater. The surgical wound was closed primarily by a layer-by-layer fashion. Histologic examination was later performed for definite diagnosis. The histologic examination revealed abnormal proliferation of Langerhans cell with granuloma formation. Radionuclide bone scan and positron emission tomography was taken and revealed free of multi-organ involvement. At 3 months after surgery, natural looking contour at the lateral eyebrow region was observed with no tumor recurrence. Differential diagnosis of the hard and fixed mass at the lateral eyebrow region affecting the primary skull lesion from pediatric population includes epidermoid cyst, dermoid cyst and LCH. Generally, brief physical examination with plain X-ray view can be performed for clinical evaluation, but for a definite diagnosis, contrast MRI may be helpful.

혈관확장골육종은 골육종의 드문 아형이다. 늑골은 일반적인 골육종뿐만 아니라 혈관확장골육종에서도 흔치 않은 발생부위이다. 이 종양은 경화된 부분이 없이 혈액이나 괴사된 종양조직을 포함하는 단일성 또는 다발성 낭성 공간으로 구성되므로 다른 양성 낭성 병변과의 감별을 위해 주의 깊은 관찰이 필요하다. 그러므로 늑골이 혈관확장골육종의 호발 부위는 아니지만 일차적인 감별진단에 혈관확장골육종을 포함시키는 것이 중요하다. 늑골에서 발생한 혈관 확장골육종과 일차성 골육종에 관한 기존 보고, 혈관성골육종의 감별진단과 드문 부위에 발생한 골육종의 임상적 특징에 관한 문헌고찰과 함께, 늑골에서 발생한 혈관확장골육종 1예를 보고하는 바이다.

Background: The aim of this epidemiological study was to establish the laterality of breast cancer (BC) and its association with size, receptor status of the primary tumor and bone metastasis (BM) in a local population. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included cases of BC from Jan-2009 to Dec-2011 who were referred for metastatic work up or follow up survey with Technetium-99m MDP bone scan (BS) to the Nuclear Medicine Department of Karachi Institute of Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine (KIRAN). A total of 384 patients out of 521 were included and all reviewed for age, primary tumor size (PTS), laterality, receptor status like estrogen receptor (ER) progesterone receptor (PR) and Her-2-Neu receptor, presence or absence of BM with sites of involvement and time interval between diagnosis of BC and appearance of BM. Results: The left to right sided BC proportion was significantly higher than unity (59%:41%; p<0.001). The right sided BC was observed in younger age group (46:52 years; p<0.0001) and with a smaller PTS than the left sided (3.43:4.15 cm; p<0.0001). The patients with BM had relatively higher negative receptor status with a significant predominance of right sided BC. The overall incidence of BM on BS was 28% and relatively higher in right than left breast (33%:24% p=0.068). The average number of BM sites was also significantly greater for the right side (6:4, P<0.0001). The % cumulative risk of BM in right breast was noted at significantly smaller PTS than left side with log rank value of 5.579; p<0.05. The Kaplan Meier survival plot for event free survival of BM in left sided BC was significantly higher than for the right side (log rank value=4.155, p<0.05), with an earlier appearance of BM in right BC. Conclusions: 1) A left sided predominance of BC was seen in local population; 2) right sided BC had a more aggressive behavior with extensive and earlier appearance of BM at relatively younger age, smaller PTS and receptor (s) negativity.

하악골에서 low grade 골육종은 매우 드물게 보고되고 있으며 조직검사상 conventional osteosarcoma와는 달리 pleomorphism을 보이지 않기 때문에 양성종양으로 underdiagnosis되기 쉽다. 그러나 정확한 환자의 진단은 적절한 치료와 환자의 예후에 영향을 큰 영향을 미친다. 그러므로 조기에 정확한 진단을 위하여는 의심되는 여러부위에서 조직검사를 시행하고 임상소견과 방사선소견 등을 병리의사와 공유하여야 한다. 이에 저자들은 초기에 진단이 어려웠던 하악골에 발생된 low grade 골육종을 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bony malignancy and its survivorship has been progressed markedly through refined chemotherapy and surgery. But still there are many non-responders and analysis of prognostic factors may be helpful for them. Two hundred and sixty-six patients were enlisted between Mar, 1985 and Sep. 1994. Among them our inclusion criteria were: 1)primary, nonmetastatic classical osteosarcoma 2)extremity in location 3)no prior treatment at other institute and completed neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery according to our protocol. One hundred and eleven cases were eligible. Analyzed factors were:age, sex, location, tumor size, and pathologic response. Statistical methods were log-rank test for univariate and Cox's test for multivariate analysis. Male to female ratio was 69:42 with an average age of 17.2 years. Locations of tumor were distal femur 59, proximal tibia 29, and proximal humerus 8. Tumor size were measured by its maximal diameter and 48 cases were above 10cm and 47 cases were below 10cm. For pathologic response, 57 cases showed more than 90% and 54 cases were less than that. Limb salvage procedure was 101 cases and amputation was 10 cases and their local recurrence rate were 3.6%. Average follow-up period was 24(9-78.2) months and their final status was CDF 86, AWD 8, NED 5, and DOD 12 cases. In univariate study: type of operation(p=0.005), tumor size(p=0.005), and pathologic response(p=0.02) were significant variables. Pathologic response(p=0.03) and type of operation(p=0.01) were meaningful prognostic factors on multivariate analysis. But the latter result was interpreted as a bias, so pathologic response remained as a sole meaningful prognostic factor. More aggressive chemotherapy will be needed to improve the survival.

Extraskeletal osteosarcoma (ESOS) is a malignant soft tissue neoplasm producing osteoid, without any continuity with the bone or periosteum. Primary ESOS presenting in the mediastinum is an extremely rare, yet aggressive malignant tumor associated with a poor prognosis. We report a case of primary ESOS arising from the thymus in a 63-year-old male patient.
