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.

임상에 있어 눈에 적용하는 약물의 적용은 정상적인 조직을 손상시키지 않으면서 원하는 안구 조직에 목표로 하는 용량의 안약을 전달하는 것이 목적이라고 할 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 간단한 목적도 실제로 환자의 성격, 안구 조직의 민감성, 그리고 친지질성 각막 외피세포(lipophilic corneal epithelium), 친수성 각막 그리고 공막의 간질층(hydrophilic corneal and sclera stroma), 결막의 임파 조직, 맥락막의 혈관 등, Blood-ocular barrier등 안구의 조직 자체의 장벽들로 인해 어려움을 내포하고 있는 것 역시 사실이다. 평소에 처방하고 있는 안약들을 조금 더 효과적으로 전달하기 위해 필요한 눈에 대한 이해에 대해 다루어 보도록 한다.

Nephroblastoma of avian leukosis/sarcoma group was encountered in a Shaver pullet. The tumor, measuring $10{\times}5mm$ in base and 5 mm in height, was located on the surface of anterior lobe of the left kidney. The tumor mass was irregular in shape, firm in consistency and greyish white in color. Histologically, the neoplastic tissues consisted of embryonal uriniferous tubules and fibrosarcomatous stroma.

녹색식물과 같이 독립영양생물이 빛에너지를 이용하여 $CO_2$와 물로 탄수화물을 만드는 일련의 반응을 광합성이라 한다. 그 일련의 반응 중에서(그림 1) 반응 I과 II는 틸라코이드(thylakoid)에서, 반응 III은 스트로마(stroma)에서, 반응 IV는 엽록체내와 세포질에서 일어나는 반응의 상호작용에 의하여 나타난다. 과거에는 반응 I과 II를 명반응, 반응 III과 IV를 암반응이라 부르기도 하였다.(중략)

Carcinosarcoma is the group of neoplasms possessing both carcinomatous parenchyma and sarcomatous stroma. These tumors are relatively uncommon and may arise in variable organs. In this case, a 62-year-old male patient was admitted to our department due to left chest pain and general weakness of three months duration. The chest x-ray revealed egg-sized, relatively well defined lobulated soft tissue mass in left paracardiac area. Left lower lobectomy was performed under the preoperative impression of lung cancer. Pathologic examination of the resected lung revealed carcinosarcoma without regional lymph node metastasis. Patient is doing well at present without any chemotherapy.

We describe a case of a 48-year-old Korean woman who had a subepithelial mass incidentally discovered by endoscopic examination. Endoscopic mucosal resection revealed a well-circumscribed whitish solid mass within the submucosal space. Microscopically, the tumor was comprised of sparse spindle cells in the dense collagenous stroma with several calcifications and lymphoid aggregates. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the tumor cells are negative for c-kit, smooth muscle actin, desmin, S-100 and CD34. Based on these findings, the tumor was diagnosed with calcifying fibrous tumor.

Endometriosis is classically defined as the growth of endometrial glands and stroma at extra-uterine sites. Although it is a common gynecological problem accompanied by chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and adhesion formation, the etiology of this disease is unknown. Endometriosis pathogenesis may involve endocrine and immune dysregulation since uterine endometrial growth is regulated by sex hormone in concert with bioactive mediators produced by uterine immune and endocrine cells.

The Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by dental and ocular abnormalities. The essential ocular features include partial or complete bilateral hypoplasia of the iris stroma, abnormalities of the angle structures with congenital iris adhesions, and anterior displacement of Schwalbe's corpuscles. Common oral findings are hypodontia(especially in anterior maxillary segment), microdontia, misshaped teeth, delayed eruption of the teeth. Additionally, other systemic symptoms can be seen and early detection by the pedodontist through dental diagnosis should prevent visual impairment.

Background: Periostin is preferentially expressed in periosteum, indicating a potential role in bone formation. Recently, there have been emerging controversies about its role in invasion and metastasis of human malignancies. We attempted to determine the clinicopathological significance of periostin expression in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Methods: Immunohistochemical staining of periostin protein from 91 cases of NSCLCs was performed using tissue microarray blocks. The results were correlated with clinicopathological parameters. Results: Positive reaction to periostin was predominantly noted in the tumor stroma. The strongest reaction presented as a band-like pattern just around the tumor nests. Non-neoplastic lung tissue and most in-situ carcinomas did not show a positive reaction in their stroma. With respect to tumor differentiation, moderate to poor differentiated tumors (47/77) revealed even higher periostin expression than the well-differentiated ones (4/14) (p=0.024). High periostin expression was positively correlated with E-cadherin and p53 expression, but was not related with patient age, sex, tumor type, PCNA index, b-catenin, cyclin D1, pTNM-T, pTNM-N, stage, and patient survival (p>0.05). Conclusion: These results suggest that periostin might play a role during the biological progression of NSCLC, but may not be related to the clinical prognostic parameters.

Fine needle aspiration cytology is considered as a useful diagnostic procedure in management of patients with breast lesions. This study was undertaken to evaluate the scoring system of Masood in the interpretation of breast aspirates, to establish the most useful cytologic criteria for the diagnosis of breast lesions, and to subclassify the benign breast diseases. To assess the feasibility of a cytologic grading system, 57 cases of benign breast disease, 61 cases of malignant breast disease were studied, respectively. The aspirates were evaluated for the cellular arrangement, the degree of cellular pleomorphism and anisonucleosis, and the presence of myoepithelial cells and nuceoli. Values ranging from 1 to 4 were assigned to each criterion and the sum of the individual values was made for each case. The presence of stroma, apocrine metaplasia, foamy histiocytes and inflammatory cells, background of the smear, and cellularity were also evaluated. Cut-off value of the scoring system of Masood between benign and malignant lesion was 15. Among the cytologic criteria, cellular arrangement, presence of myoepithelial cells, nucleoli, and stroma, status of chromatin pattern, and background of smear were useful criteria in the differentiation between benign and malignant lesions. Application of the scoring system of Masood does not always make the accurate diagnosis and the subclassification of benign breast disease.
