Purpose: To evaluate association of giant cell tumors recurrence between markers of proliferation cells (MCM3, Ki-67 and HH3) Materials and Methods: Ten case of giant cell tumor of bone were reviewed. The patients were six males and four females (mean age: 33 yrs). All patients were done operation after biopsy. The radiologic grading was determined according to Enneking grading system. The immunohistochemical stains of MCM3, HH3, and Ki-67 were done with Microarray block. Results: The three cases of 10 cases (30%) were recurred at same sites. Two case of recurrence was grade II according to radiologic features. The remaining case was grade I. The expression rate of immunohistochemical markers in radiologic grade 2 and 3 were more increased than grade 1. But there was not association between radiologic grading and proliferation of tumor cells because result data was not coherence. Mean MCM3 labeling index of non-recurred case was 11.2%, recurred case was 7.2%. Ki-67 was 12% vs. 8.9%, respectively and HH3 was 66.9 % vs. 75.4%, respectively. Thus there was no association between local recurrence and immunohistochemical Ki-67, MCM3 expression rate. But HH3 marker expression rate was increased in recurred cases compared to non-recurred cases. Conclusion: Our study suggests that HH3 immunohistochemical marker can be a useful prognostic factor.

The conventional treatment of skeletal class III malocclusion has been focused on the application of orthopedic forrce primarily to the mandible. Thus moderate Class III malocclusions can be corrected by the anterior displacement of the maxilla and maxillary dentition, possibly by restricting the growth of the mandible or by changing its direction. The patients having skeletal Class III malocclusion were treated with removable appliance & fixed appliance for detailed tooth movement and the following results were observed: 1. The anterior crossbite was corrected. 2. The forward and downward growth of the maxillary complex was obtained. 3. The lingual tipping of the mandiblar incisors was performed and the mandible was rotated in the clockwise direction.

Purpose : Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans(DFSP) is a rare tumor of the skin with a strong tendency of infiltration to surrounding tissues. Inadequate surgical intervention brings about frequent recurrence and poor prognosis. We attempted to find a guideline for adequate treatment for DFSP. Materials and Methods : Fourteen cases who had been treated in our department since Mar. 1993 and followed up for more than 12 months postoperatively were reviewed. Including nine cases who were transferred from other hospital after recurrence, thirteen cases underwent wide resection. One case was treated by intralesional resection followed by chemotherapy (CYVADIC) due to neurovascular abutment to the mass in the inguinal area. Results : The nine cases who were transferred due to recurrences experienced recurrence in average 1.3(1-2) times and the average period until first local recurrence from primary operation was 11.8(2-24) months. The thirteen cases with wide surgical margin showed no recurrence at the final follow up. One case treated by intralesional resection and chemotherapy showed multiple recurrence and died of the disease due to lung metastasis. Conclusions : From these data, we could find that primary wide resection can be the way of reducing recurrence and metastasis, and the follow up period for the detection of recurrence should be at least two years.

Tumoral calcinosis is a disease of unclear etiology which presents with periarticular and intramuscular calcification without the disorder of calcium and phosphorus metabolism. The incidence is very rare but the rate is higher among the blacks than whites. There has been no report on the recurrent occurrence on the asian race. We report a case that recurred several times with tumoral calcinosis of both knee and thigh. A 21-year-old woman visited to our department with masses in both right thigh and knee. She had a history of local excisions and biopsies(4 times at other hospital) and showed prompt recurrences. The complete marginal excision was performed for the treatment. The histological examination showed the findings that are compatible with tumoral calcinosis. There has been a free of recurrence over the past two years.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the oncologic outcomes of parosteal osteosarcoma (POS) and to ascertain the fates of patients after local recurrence (LR). Materials and Methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed 22 POS patients with an average follow-up of 114 months (range: 36-235 months). Seven of the 22 patients were referred after LR. There were 17 Stage IB and 5 Stage IIB (G2, 2; dedifferentiation, 3). Tumors were located in the femur (11) and in other locations (11). Initial surgical margins were wide in 10, marginal in 5, and intralesional in 7. Correlations between clinico-pathologic variables and LR and clinical courses after LR were evaluated. Results: The 10-year overall survival rate was 85.7%. Three (14%) patients developed distant metastasis and all of them succumbed to the disease. Nine (41%) patients developed LR. Tumor location, resection type, and surgical margin were found to be correlated with LR. At final follow-up, 7 of the 9 patients that experienced local failure achieved no evidence of disease. Conclusion: A substantial risk of misdiagnosis exists, especially for POS in other than a femoral location. Recurrent tumor re-excision is possible in most cases; however, patients with an aggressive recurrence pattern deserve special attention.

Giant cell tumor is usually found around the knee joint, especially in the distal femur or proximal tibia. Despite being classified as benign, it has unusual biological behavior of local aggressiveness and tend to have severely destructive lesion and develop rare pulmonary metastasis. Therefore, when the patient is presented to the physician with an expansile lytic lesion of challenging clinicopathologic entity extending to subchondral bone, the physician faces up to difficulties in treatment. We report a case of 25 years old patient having recurrent giant cell tumor in the right distal femur which developed metastasis to lung. The primary bone lesion was treated with local curettage and fillings with methylmethacrylate, but when he returned to the hospital two years later, the recurrence had developed with lung metastasis.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree of relapse following orthognathic surgery and the relationship between preoperative state and the methods of orthognathic surgery in skeletal Class III patients. Thirty-one patients were selected(17 men, and 14 women) for this study, who had received orthognathic surgery(20 one jaw surgery, and 11 two jaw surgery). The mean age was 22.5 years. Their lateral cephalograms, that were taken preoperatively, immediate postoperatively and follow-up over one year, were traced and analysed. The results were as follows : 1. In two jaw surgery, mandibular length, lower facial height and lower lip length were 4.24mm, 4.64mm and 4.13mm longer than in one jaw surgery, respectively But in two jaw surgery, overjet was 3.13mm shorter than in one jaw surgery. 2. In one jaw surgery, mandible was moved back $8.95\pm4.45mm$ at B point. In two jaw surgery, maxilla was moved forward $5.15\pm3.46mm$ and mandible was moved back $7.24\pm9.11mm$ at B point. 3. Between postoperation and follow-up over one year, A point, A' point, Pn and Sn were moved backward 1.02 $\pm$ 2.14mm, $1.73\pm1.63mm,\;1.05\pm1.48mm\;and\;1.55\pm1.37mm$ in two jaw surgery, respectively. 4. Between postoperation and follow-up over one year, in one jaw surgery, B point was moved forward $2.58\pm4.22mm$ and B' point was moved forward $1.95\pm4.39mm$. In two jaw surgery, B point was moved forward $0.65\pm2.88mm$ and B' point was moved forward $0.19\pm3.32mm$. In one jaw surgery, relapse rate was $28\%$ at B point and $24\%$ at B' point, whereas in two jaw surgery, relapse rate was $8\%$ at B point and $3\%$ at B' point.

Purpose: Fibrous dysplasia is related to the mutation of gene encoding the alpha-subunit of a signal-transducing G-protein and has variable clinical course. Operation can be performed to prevent functional disorder or structural deformity. After curettage, autologous bone graft were used to fill the defects after curettage. The aim of this study is to compare the result of autogenous cancellous bone grafting and allogenic bone grafting for fibrous dysplasia. Materials and Methods: Among the patients who visit our hospital during the period of April, 1997 to October, 2013, we selected 34 patients who diagnosed fibrous dysplasia and visited our clinic over 1 year. There were 13 males and 21 females. Average age was 26.4 (range 2 to 57) years old. Autogenous bone graft (group I) in 5 cases, Non-autogenous bone graft (group II) in 30 cases. Iliac bone is used in all cases of autogenous bone graft. There were no significant difference in age, follow-up period, preoperational laboratory finding between two groups. Radiographic image was done to evaluate the recurrence of fibrous dysplasia or secondary degeneration. Results: There were four cases in recurrence (group I: 1 case, group II: 3 cases, p=0.554). In all recurrent cases, reoperations were done using curettage and autogenous iliac bone graft. There was no re-recurrence after reoperation. One case of secondary aneurysmal bone cyst was confirmed (group II) and 1 cases of pathologic fractures had developed (group I: 0 case, group II: 1 cases, p=0.559). No malignant change occurred. Conclusion: There were no significant difference between autogenous bone graft group and non-autogenous bone graft group. Our result suggested that autogenous bone graft seems to be good method to treat fibrous dysplasia, in the case of small volume of tumor lesion or non-weight bearing portion.

Purpose: This study was aimed to evaluate the recurrence rate of a giant cell tumor (GCT) of the bone. Materials and Methods: The medical records of fifty four patients who were diagnosed with a giant cell tumor of the bone between March 1980 and December 2008 were analysed retrospectively. Among 54 patients, 27 were men, remaining 27 were women with the mean age of 33.1 years (range, 13-67 years). The mean duration of follow-up was 67.1 months. Results: Twenty-one patients (38.9%) had a local recurrence. The mean time to recurrence was 21.5 months (range, 2-59 months). The local recurrence rate of the upper extremities was higher than that of lower extremities. According to Campanacci classification, patients with a grade I diseae had lower recurrence rate than those with grade II or III disease. There was no significant differences in the recurrence rates based on cryotherapy, the filling of bone cement or bone grafts and surgical margin. Conclusion: To prevent local recurrence of GCT of bone, curettage of the tumor and elimination of the remaining cells are more important than adjuvant therapy.
