Benign intraosseous osteolytic lesions of the glenoid are very rare. The present study reports on three cases of symptomatic intraosseous osteolytic lesions of the glenoid in which surgical interventions were made. Of the three, two cases presented with intraosseous ganglion and one case with fibrous dysplasia. In all the cases, the lesion was located at the posteroinferior portion of the glenoid, and it seems to be related to posterior shoulder pain. If intraosseous osteolytic lesions have symptoms or the risk for chondral defects or cortical breakage, surgical intervention is needed and bone curettage with or without bone grafting will be a useful treatment option.

Ganglion in the anterior cruciate ligament is quite rare finding at the time of knee arthroscopy. We experienced a 58 years old female pateint with a ganglion in the anterior cruciate ligamentwho complained gradual development of flexion contracture of left knee joint and treated with arthroscopic excision of ganglion resulted in freedom from flexion contracture of her knee joint.

Ganglion cysts of the cruciate ligaments of the knee are rare and their pathogenesis is uncertain. A few cases of the cyst of the posterior cruciate ligament were reported in the literature. We have arthroscopically treated sucessfully the ganglion cysts of the posterior cruciate ligament through the anteromedial portal. We reported three cases of ganglion cyst of the posterior cruciate ligament with brief of literatures.

Intraneural ganglilon of superficial peroneal nerve was rare condition around foot and ankle. we experienced a case of recurred intraneural ganglion of superficial peroneal nerve on foot. We treated the case with idendify of intraarticular branch of ganglion. We report the case with a review of literature.

Recently as the ultrasonography became generalized, the annual change rate of the incidence of thyroid cancer extraordinarily grew to 24.5% in Korea. Therefore, the aim of this study was performed to identify the risk factors of thyroid cancer apart from conventional risk factors of dietary iodine and ionizing radiation. In this retrospective study, 411 patients underwent fine-needle aspiration biopsy were examined from January 2011 to March 2013. The subjects are divided into two groups which are 260 patients with benign nodule and 151 patients with malignancy nodule. We compared age, hematologic values, body mass index, waist circumference, menopausal status, breast nodules status, uterine myoma status, fatty liver status of targeted group of patients. According to the result, in thyroid cancer group with obesity, the number of case of breast nodules and myoma was higher, and their thyroid stimulating hormone values was higher than the benign nodule group. In order to establish factors influencing thyroid and thyroid cancer, there is a definite need for continuous study.

성대결절, 폴립, 부종 등은 성대의 남용이나 과용등의 성대손상이 그 공통된 주된 원인으로 거론되고 있다. 하지만 음성치료를 비롯한 보존적 치료에 대한 반응이 서로 상이하며, H＆E 염색을 이용한 병리조직학적인 감별이 곤란하여 진단에 혼돈이 있으며, 치료의 방침을 결정하거나 예후를 예측함에 있어서도 어려움이 있다. 양성성대질환은 기저막부 위와 세포외 간질에 주된 변화가 발생함이 알려져 있고, collagen type IV의 발현양상이 성대결절과 폴립에서 서로 다름에 대하여는 보고된 바 있으나 기타 점막하층의 골격유지를 주기능으로 하는 대표적 세포외간질인 collagen subtype에 대하여는 아직 보고된 바가 없는 실정이다. Collagen 발현의 차이를 연구하는 것은 상기질환의 병인을 이해하고 질환분류의 guideline을 제시하며 나아가 적절한 치료방범을 제시하는 데에 큰 의미가 있을 것으로 기대된다. Paraffin에 고정되어 있는 5례 이상씩의 성대결절과 성대폴립, 육아 종 및 라인케씨 부종 조직을 collagen type I부터 VII에 대하여 peroxidase kit를 사용하여 염색한 후 각 군간에 collagen 분포양상과 발현정도에 차이가 있는가 비교하였다.

Background : Differentiation of malignity and benignity is crucial for management of solitary pulmonary nodule(SPN). Clinical parameters such as patient's age, nodule size, smoking history, doubling time, typical calcification in X-ray and CT findings have been reported as helpful in this purpose. However, in most cases, these parameters are not conclusive. Glucose metabolism is increased in cancer tissues including lung cancer tissues. After uptake of 2-[F-18]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose(FDG), the glucose analogue, by cancer cell, FDG is trapped in the cell without further metabolism after phosphorylation. Thus, hypermetabolic focus in FDG-positron emission tomography (PET) imaging suggest malignancy. We evaluated the diagnostic efficacy of FDG-PET imaging in distinguishing malignant and benign SPN. Methods : We evaluated 28 patients with SPN from Jan. 1995 to Jan. 1997. CT scan of chest and whole-body FDG-PET imaging were performed in all patients. Histologic diagnosis was confirmed by transthoracic fine needle aspiration and biopsy, bronchoscopic biopsy and open thoracotomy. Results : Of the 28 SPN's, 22 nodules were malignant and 6 nodules were benign. FDG-PET imaging diagnosed all malignant nodules correctly as positive, and diagnosed 4 of 6 benign nodules correctly as negative. One tuberculous granuloma and one aspergilloma showed hypennetabolic focus and were diagnosed falsely positve with FDG-PET imaging. In the diagnosis of SPN with FDG-PET, sensitivity and specificity were 100% and 66.7%, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 92% and 100%. Conclusion : FDG-PET imaging is highly useful noninvasive diagnostic tool in distinguishing between malignant SPN and benign SPN.

Tuberous sclerosis is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by mental retardation, epilepsy, and adenoma sebaceum. Associated lesions include retinal phacomata, shagreen patches, subungal fibromata, and benign visceral tumors such as pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis occurs exclusively in women, usually during the child-bearing years, and is characterized by proliferation of smooth muscle along the lymphatic vessels of the lung, thorax, abdomen. Proliferation of smooth muscle results in interstitial and obstructive lung disease, recurrent pneumothorax, and chylous pleural effusions. We saw two cases of pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis associated with tuberous sclerosis in women of reproductive age. We report the cases with a brief review of the literatures.

Nodular faciitis is generally considered to be benign proliferation of fibroblasts and myoblasts, and it measures dimension up to 3cm. The characteristics such as rapid growth, abundant cellularity, and mitotic activity occasionally cause these lesions to mimic sarcoma. The authors experienced two cases of nodular fasciitis of the thigh, which were unusually large with dimension of more than 5cm. All of these two cases mimicked sarcoma and one of two cases, which initially mimicked sarcoma clinically and histologically in our hospital, was finally diagnosed as nodular fasciitis after requesting external consultation to several experienced pathologists. All of two cases had no evidence of recurrence at 2 years postoperatively. The lesions of unusually large dimension such as in our cases must be included in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue sarcoma. So we report two cases of nodular fasciitis of the thigh with a review of the current literature.
