Warthin's tumor is composed of glandular and often cystic structures with a papillary cystic arrangement, lined by characteristic eosinophilic epithelium. The stroma contains lymphoid tissue. Between 5 and 10 percent of all parotid gland tumors are Warthin's tumor and occurs almost exclusively in the parotid gland. This tumor is much more common in men than in women (5:1). Histologically it is composed of epithelial and lymphoid tissue. The treatment of this tumor is surgical excision and seldom recur after removal. Recently, We had experienced a case of warthin's tumor of the parotid gland in a 66 year old male treated with surgical removal.

Pleomorphic hyalinizing angiectatic tumor (PHAT) is a rare, low grade neoplasm which usually occurs in subcutaneous soft tissue. Histologically, it features ectatic blood filled vessels surrounded by hyalinized stroma and pleomorphic spindle cells. Clinically and histologically, PHAT could be misdiagnosed as such tumor as neurogenic tumor, malignant fibrous histiocytoma. About 100 cases of PHAT have been reported so far, and it is even rarer in head and neck area. We experienced a case of PHAT in 41-year-old male with several months of history of gradually enlarging neck mass which was surgically removed by wide excision.

Intravenous pyogenic granuloma, commonly known as intravenous lobular capillary hemangioma, is a rare benign tumor of the vein. It rarely occurs in the neck, and its character is not enough to diagnosis clinically. It could be diagnosed with preoperative radiologic examinations such as ultrasound and computed tomography and typical pathologic findings that demonstrate lobules of multiple capillaries lined with flattened endothelial cells admixed with fibromyxoid stroma. The authors report a case of a 32-year-old male who presented with a palpable neck mass for one month with a review of the literature. He was successfully treated with resection, including the tumor and normal external jugular vein, without any complications.

In order to examine food components of coho salmon and rainbow-trout, We analyzed the composition of protein, amino acids and total lipids. The coho salmon muscle contained about 19.3% of protein with the composition of 29.9% in sarcoplasmic protein, 56.3oA in myofibrillar protein 12.5% alkali soluble protein and 2.6% in stroma. Those of rainbow-trout contained 34.1%, 56.4%, 8.3% and 2.9%, respectively. The sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar protein were composed of 13 subunits in coho salmon, and 16 and 15 subunits in rainbow-trout. Judging from the contents of essential amino acids, both muscle proteins were complete proteins. The most remarkable feature of free amino acids was that a large amount of dipeptide anserine was present with fairly lower levels of 1 methyl histidine, taurine, histidine, alanine and glycine in both muscle extracts. The total fatty acids of coho salmon was composed of 31.49% polyenes, 43.79% monoenes and 24.73% saturates. The composition of total fatty acid of coho salmon muscle was not different from that of rainbow-trout muscle.

Pulmonary hamartoma is the most common benign tumor of the lung but rarely encountered in routine cytologic work-up. We recentely experienced a case of fine needle aspiration cytology of pulmonary hamartoma in a 65-year old male patient. The characteristic cytopathologic features were 1) The mesenchymal components with cuboidal epithelial cells in a clean background, 2) The presence of fibromyxoid mesenchymal component composed of fibroblasts in a loose fibrillary stroma, and 3) Antler-liker fibromyxoid cluster having the rimming of epithelial cells which correspond to the epithelial glowing in cleft-like fashion in pulmonary hamartoma.

An unrecorded Hypoxylon sp. was observed on the bed-log of oak-mushroom (Lentinula edodes) in Korea. The stroma of the fungus was formed on the bed-log (Quercus spp.) damaged by Korean squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris coreae). Perithecia were $200{\sim}400{\mu}m$, and asci containing 8 ascospores were $7{\sim}8{\times}150{\sim}230{\mu}m$ in size. Paraphysis was cylindrical shape, Ascospores were $5{\sim}9{\times}12{\sim}17.5{\mu}m$ in size, pale brown to dark brown, elliptical, and smooth. They have germination cleft and $1{\sim}2$ oil droplets.

Extraskeletal chondroma is a benign soft tissue tumor which is composed of hyaline cartilage but arises from the fibrous stroma rather than from mature cartilaginous or osseous tissue. Extraskeletal chondroma is relatively rare and occurs most frequently in the soft tissue around the joints of hands and feet. We present one case of extraskeletal chondroma in a finger of a young woman.

The chloroform extract of the seeds of Carica papaya has been screened for the hormonal properties using ovariectomized female rats for estrogenicity, estrogen primed immature rats for progestogenicity and castrated adult male rats for androgenicity. The results revealed that the extract lacks progestogenicity and androgenicity as evident from the failure of the extract treated animals to mimic progestogen and androgen related changes in the target tissues. The increased weight of vagina and uterus, open status of vagina, cornified and epithelial cells in the vaginal smears and hypertrophy in the uterine epithelium, endometrium and stroma with increased glycogen and sialic acid content in the uterus of the chloroform extract treated animals, which are comparable to those of the ovariectomized estrogen treated animals, suggest that the chloroform extract possesses mild estrogenic activity.

Synovial sarcoma is commonly found in the extremities of mesenchymal origin, but rare in the head and neck area. Histopathology is diagnostic and it shows a biphasic pattern with two neoplastic elements; spindle cell, sarcoma like stroma and gland like clefts lined by epitheloid cells. Synovial sarcoma is high-grade neoplasm that expresses epithelial as well as supporting features. This paper presents a case of synovial sarcoma of hypopharynx on 25 years old male. He was treated by surgical excision and postoperative chemoradiotherapy. There were no evidences of local recurrence & distant metastasis for 19 months postoperatively.

There have been reported cases that the Krukenherg tumor had been primary ovarian carcinoma, But the Krukenberg tumor is generally known as one special type of metastatic ovarian carcinoma, which histologically consists of nest of mucin filled signet-ring cells in a cellular, nonneoplastic stroma. The most common gastrointestinal tract origin for Krukenberg tumor is the stomach, and the next frequent is the large intestine. Generally the Krukenberg tumor is difficult to diagnose and treat until somewhat enlarging its size. We experienced a case of the Krukemberg tumor on the remained ovary after the previous unilateral adnexectomy, which was metastasized from adenocarcinoma of stomach. We present this case with a brief review of literature.
