Purpose: We report a case of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis of the shoulder. Materials and Methods: A 16 year-old male who had suffered from chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis of the shoulder was diagnosed by clinical features and biopsy and was treated with arthroscopic debridement and Naproxen. Results: Symptoms was subsided without relapse during 16 months follow up. Conclusion: Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis is rare disease and it can be misdiagnosis because of its rarity and non-specific clinical presentation. This is a report of a case of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis of the shoulder in 16 years man.

Uterine cervical cancer is one of the most common malignancies of the female genital tract. Most recurrent cases of uterine cervical cancer are diagnosed within two years after primary treatment, and late recurrence after a disease-free interval of more than five years is rare. In addition, peritoneal metastases usually present as multifocal discrete nodules in the peritoneal cavity with nodular or diffuse peritoneal thickening. Herein, we report an extremely rare case of late recurrent cervical cancer peritoneal metastasis with an unusual manifestation of a large, solitary necrotic mass in the right subphrenic space on contrast-enhanced CT.

에이즈 환자에게서 흔히 나타나는 구강 내 병변은 충치, 구강칸디다증, 구강 모상 백반증(oral hairy leukoplakia),재발성 아프타성 구내염(recurrent aphthous stomatitis),재발성 포진성 구내염(recurrent herpetic stomatitis),치주염, 카포시 육종, 비호치킨성 림프종 등이다. 이 중 에이즈 환자에게 비교적 특징적인 병변은 구강 칸디다증, 입안털백색판증, 카포시 육종 등이지만 일반인들에서 흔히 관찰되는 충치라고 하더라도 치주염이나 농양으로 빠르게 진행한다면 에이즈를 의심해 보아야 하며, 반복적인 아프타성 궤양이나 포진성 궤양이 유달리 크고 오래 지속된다면 역시 에이즈의 가능성을 생각해 봐야 한다. 구강 병소는 에이즈 환자에게서 흔히 발견되며 이 질환의 초기 상태를 제시할 수 있다는데 의의가 있다.

목 적 : 액체 질소를 이용한 냉동 치료는 피부 사마귀 치료에 널리 사용되어왔다. 본 연구에서는 재발성 성문부 유두종 환자에 대해 냉동 치료를 시행하여 그 치료 결과를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 냉동치료 전에 재발성 유두종으로 확진 되었고, 다른 호흡기에는 병변이 없었던 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 결 과 : 냉동 치료의 국소적, 전신적 합병증 및 부작용은 없었다. 그러나, 성문부 유두종은 냉동 치료 후 각각 3개월과 2년 후에 재발하였다. 결 론 : 냉동치료는 초기에는 성문부 유두종 병변의 치료에 효과가 있으나, 장기적인 효과는 떨어졌다. 향후 더 많은 증례와 추적관찰이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis is a rare disease occurring almost exclusively in woman of reproductive age. It is characterized by rapid deterioration of respiratory functions and results in death within an average of 10 years. This disease is caused by a progressive proliferation of atypical smooth muscle in the pulmonary lymphatic vessels, blood vessels, and airways leading to the development of distal cystic changes which causes frequent recurrent pneumothoraces. We experienced a case of pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis in a 30-year old woman who had a history of bilateral, recurrent pneumothoraces. The patient underwent lung biopsy through right thoracotomy which revealed the diagnosis of pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis. We report a case with a review of the literature.

Purpose: These case reports have been prepared to highlight the uncommon occurrence of anterior shoulder dislocation after an epileptic seizure, the recognition of which is important as this type of injury is associated with bony lesions and a high incidence of recurrence. Materials and Methods: We report two cases of recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder due to grand mal epilepsy. These cases were treated as usual anterior dislocations of the shoulder, and were regularly followed to detect any recurrence of shoulder instability. Results: Outcome of the surgery in the two cases was different because of the differences in seizure control. In the patient in whom seizures were well-controlled, there was no recurrence of instability, while the patient with poorly controlled seizures developed a recurrence of the dislocation following shoulder repair. Conclusion: The authors emphasize the need to control seizures in order to prevent injury recurrence in this subset of patients.

Background: Since the early 1980s, interferon-alpha ($IFN-{\alpha}$) has been used as adjuvant therapy in pediatric patients with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). However, its efficacy in adults needs to be validated. Since 2002, Samsung Medical Center's guidelines have mandated regular injection of $IFN-{\alpha}$ in patients with RRP to prevent recurrence. To evaluate these guidelines, patient data were investigated. Methods: Five patients diagnosed as having RRP by bronchoscopy and histopathology were included. After initial bronchoscopic intervention, including laser cauterization, all patients received subcutaneous injection of 6 million units of $IFN-{\alpha}$ every 2 months. Further bronchoscopic intervention was carried out as needed. Patients were regularly evaluated using bronchoscopy or computed tomography. Results: The median age of the patients was 44 years (range 13~68), and the median duration of papillomatosis was 31 years (range 1~45). Three and two patients had juvenile-onset and adult-onset disease, respectively. Two patients had a history of tracheostomy at the time of diagnosis. The median duration of $IFN-{\alpha}$ therapy was 56 months (range 12~66). Two patients showed complete remission at 12 and 36 months after $IFN-{\alpha}$ injection, respectively. The other three patients showed partial remission, and the number of laser therapy sessions was significantly reduced.Conclusion: Intermittent $IFN-{\alpha}$ injection is effective in patients with long-standing RRP and can reduce the number of laser therapy sessions required in their treatment.

While extramedullary relapse of leukemia could occur, the parotid gland is a rare site of recurrence. Extramedullary relapse involving the parotid gland could be mistaken for other diseases. Moreover, the diagnosis of this disease is often delayed due to its rarity. Herein, we present a case of extramedullary relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia involving the parotid gland.

청력장애가 있고 반복성 뇌막염을 앓는 환자에서는 일단 외임파누공을 의심하고 이에 대한 이비인후과 의사의 철저한 진찰 및 검사를 통해 진단 및 치료에 임해야 하겠다. 저자들은 최근에 경험한 재발성 뇌막염 환아에서 외임파누공을 진단하고 치료한 2예를 보고하고자 한다. 선천적으로 청력장애가 있고 수술전 1년동안 5∼6회의 뇌막염을 앓은 환아를 이학적검사, 청력검사 및 전산화 단층촬영을 이용하여 외임파누공을 진단하고 근막을 포함한 연조직으로 누공을 봉쇄하는 수술적 요법을 사용하여 완치시켰기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: Capsulolabral reconstruction in a traumatic anterior instability of the glenohumeral joint is successful not only for the prevention of recurrent instability but also for the restoration of function. Materials and Methods: However, a capsulolabral procedure alone cannot guarantee a successful result when there is severe bone loss of the glenoid. Results: We report the surgical technique and results of capsulolabral repair and extraarticular bone block with an autogenous iliac crest graft performed on three cases (all male, average age 28 years, minimum follow-up 12 months) with traumatic anterior instability associated with more than 30% glenoid bone loss.
