Lichenoid dysplasia is a lesion similar to oral lichen planus with epithelial dysplasia. It can be clinically mistaken for oral lichen planus, but has histologic features of dysplasia and a true malignant predisposition. It is not a variant or transitional form of lichen planus but, instead, represents a distinct entity that has a true potential for malignant transformation. In addition to abnormal epithelial maturation and cytology, lichenoid dysplasia exhibits other histologic features that separate it from oral lichen planus. Lichenoid dysplasia and lichen planus share many clinical and microscopic features, leading to the frequent misdiagnosis of unrecognized lichenoid dysplasia as lichen planus. We experienced a case of lichenoid dysplasia in the oral mucosa. We treated this patient with surgical excision. The patient has now been followed for two months. It is important to recognize this precancerous condition and inspect the excision site and remaining oral mucosa during long-term follow-up.

Cleidocranial dysplasia(CCD) is a rare syndrome usually caused by an autosomal dominant gene or no apparent genetic cause. The skull is large and short with marked bossing of the frontal bone. Closure on the fontanelles and sutures is delayed. The clavicle may be unilaterally or bilaterally aplastic. Oral manifestations include multiple impacted permanent teeth, prolonged retention of primary teeth and multiple supernumerary teeth. There are many difficulties in the early diagnosis of CCD because a majority of the craniofacial abnormalities becomes obvious only during adolescence. Late diagnosis produce occlusional & psychological problem. Therefore early detection and treatment of CCD can reduce the period and the extent of orthodontic and surgical interventions. We experienced CCD patient with multiple supernumerary teeth and will report it with the literature review.

Objectives: This review is to figure out evidence that suggests the effectiveness of Korean Medicine treatments against Human Papilloma virus (HPV) infection and Cervical Dysplasia. Methods: Studies on HPV infection and cervical dysplasia were searched through 5 databases: Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System (OASIS), Korean Studies Information Service System (KISS), the Journal of Korean Obstetrics & Gynecology, China Academic Journal (CAJ), Pubmed. After that, the articles were extracted with reference point of Korean Traditional Medicine. Results: 21 studies were included lastly according to selection criteria. In 21 studies, HPV turning - negative rate of Korean Medicine treatment group was higher than the control treatment group. Conclusions: 21 studies indicates that Korean Medicine treatment is effective in HPV infection and Cervical Dysplasia.

Purpose: Recently people who want to treatment of cervical dysplasia by Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) were increased. The purpose of these studies are to confirm the clinical effectiveness of TKM treatment to clinical symptoms of the patients who diagnosed as cervical dysplasia. Methods: The patients who diagnosed as cervical dysplasia, had elytrorrhagia, leukorrhea, dysmenorrhea et al. The patients were treated by TKM such as herb medication and acupuncture therapy. Results: After the oriental medical treatment. the clinical symptoms such as elytrorrhagia, leukorrhea, dysmenorrhea were improved. Conclusion: To treatment and management of cervical dysplasia, we were based on improvement of clinical symptoms. And we used TKM to the clinical symptoms of patients with cervical dysplasia, in result clinical symptoms of cervical dysplasia were improved. TKM is expected to have positive effects on clinical symptoms of cervical dysplasia.

Purpose: To report the effect of Traditional Korean medical treatments on 5 patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia with high-risk human papilloma virus (HPV). Methods: The patients were diagnosed with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia with High-Risk human papilloma virus. The patients were treated by Traditional Korean Medicine such as herb medication and fumigation therapy. Results: After 3~6 months treatments, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grades 1-2 lesions regressed and high-risk HPV infections were not detected. Conclusions: The case report shows that Korean medical treatment can be an effective option for treating lower grade of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia with high-risk human papilloma virus.

Fibrous dysplasia is a bone condition characterized by the replacement of normal bone tissue and the medullary cavity by abnormal fibrous tissues. Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia causes facial asymmetry compromising the aesthetics as well as vision and hearing. A 21-year-old male visited the clinic due to vertical orbital dystopia and exophthalmos that had developed over the previous 2 months. The patient was diagnosed with a fibrous dysplasia of the frontal, ethmoid bones and superior orbital wall. By a bicoronal incision on the scalp, the radical resection of the lesions was done. After harvesting the remaining frontal bone, we did the autogenous reconstruction using split calvarial bone graft. Postoperatively, the vertical orbital dystopia and exophthalmos significantly improved. The patient is satisfied with the surgical outcomes and has not reported any recurrence.

The author observed a rare case of fibrous dysplasia in 12years old female who came to the Infirmary of Dental College, Seoul National University, complaining of facial asymmetry at 3 years' duration in right maxilla-facial region. The serial radiograms has been taken and the nature of the ]esion established as a typical fibrous dysplasia according to the interpreted findings in their images. The author has obtaind the results as follows: 1. Fibrous dysplasia occured at 3 years of age in this case. 2. Familial tendency, traumatic history and endocrine. disturbances: were: not noted in this patient. 3. The serial radiograms revealed a typical fibrous dysplasia encroaching Tight zygomatic bone.

Angiodysplasia is an important vascular lesion of the gastointestinal tract, located at the site of ectasia of intestinal submucosal veins and overlying mucosal capillaries. It is a major cause of morbidity from gastrointestinal bleeding in old age, but rather rare in children. Its cause is still unknown, though is mostly considered to be acquired as a result of a degenerative process associated with aging. We experienced a case of colonic angiodysplasia in 14-year old boy, diagnosed by colonoscopy. The patient had a history of repeated hematochezia for a year. This report summarized our case and reviewed the literature.

Purpose: Cleidocranial dysostosis is a rare hereditary disorder affecting bones that develop by intramembranous formation. The typical features include excessive growth of transverse diameter of the skull, hypoplastic clavicles, low height and characteristic facial features. Methods: A 28 years old female patient visited by frontal area depression. The diagnosis was performed by computed tomographic study and radiographic imaging. The patient has widely opened anterior fontanelle, partial fused metopic suture, multiple wormian bone and supernumenary impacted teeth. Under the coronal incision, we exposed depressed frontal area and corrected with Medpor block carving. Results: Postoperatively, frontoparietal skull was aestheticlly improved and she was satisfied with the results. Conclusion: Authors report a case of cleiodocranial dysostosis who has been done correction of abnormal skull shape by Medpor$^{(R)}$ insertion.

The authors observed 2 cases of fibrous dysplasia on the cranial and maxillofacial bones in 31, 28 aged sisters, who had come to the Infirmary of Dental College, Yonsei University. The serial roentgenograms and clinical findings had been taken and the results established as polyostotic fibrous dysplasia according to the findings in their images. The authors have obtained the results as follows: 1. Bony expansion of the mandible occured at 18 years of age and the facial assymetry appeared due to development of the lesions. 2. The traumatic history were not noted but weak tendency of familial history noted 3. Endocrine disturbances, hyperpigmentation on the skin and premature puberty in the infancy were not noted. 4. We have concluded these diseases as polyostotic fibrous dysplasia on the cranial and maxillofacial bones with weak familial tendency according to the findings
