정위다방향 단일 고선량 조사는 비침습적으로 두개골에 중추신경계 정위수술기구(Stereotactic frame)를 고정시켜 병소부위를 정확히 조준한 후 작은 조사야들을 통하여 단일고선량을 병소부위에 집중시킴으로써 이를 파괴시키거나 생물학적 효과를 유도하는 것으로 정의되고 있다. 이 방법은 비침습적이며 병소부위를 중심으로 여러 방향으로부터 방사선을 조사하므로서 병소부위에는 고선량을 집중시키고 주위정상 뇌조직에 가는 선량을 최소한으로 줄일 수 있다. 또한 1회에 주는 방사선량은 보편적 인 다분할 조사방법에 의한 것 보다 동일한 선량을 비교해 볼 때 그 생물학적 효과가 3-4배로 높다. 이 방법은 크기가 작고 수술이 불가능한 두개내 심부종양 즉, 뇌하수체 종양, 두개인두관종양, 송과체종양, 수막종, 청신경초종 및 혈관기형등에 주로 시도하여 왔다. 저자들은 1988년 7월부터 10월까지 6MV 선형가속기를 이용하여 병소가 3cm이하로 작고 수술이 불가능한 두개내 심부뇌종양 5예(청신경초종, 재발성 두개인두관종양, 혈관아세포종, 송과체세포종 및 뇌하수체 소선종, 각각 1예)와 동정맥성 기형 3예에 대해서 정위다방향 단일고선량조사를 시행하였기에 그 방법과 중간성적을 보고하는 바이다.

Objectives: Angiocentric T-cell lymphoma of the head and neck is an angiocentric and angiodestructive lymphoreticular proliferative disorder. It has been treated with various treatment modalities, but its prognosis is poor and the treatment modality is controversial. We performed this study to suggest a treatment modality with improved results. Materials and Methods: We studied 40 cases of pathologically confirmed angiocentric T-cell lymphoma from July 1984 to December 1996, 35 cases of which showed complete response after initial treatment. All the patients were divided into two groups according to treatment modality. 15 cases received radiotherapy alone (Group I) and 20 cases received radiotherapy after five cycles of CHOP-Bleo chemotherapy(Group II). We analyzed the subsites of tumor, stage, treatment modality and treatment outcome and causes of failure for each group, and compared the three-year no evidence of disease(NED) between the two groups. Results: The three-year NED of a combined chemoradiotherapy was higher than that of a radiotherapy alone (p=0.0478). The three-year NED according to groups and stage were as follows: Group I=6/15(40.0%), stage IE=5/10(50.0%), stage IIE=1/5(20%), Group II=13/20(65.0%), stage IE=9/13(69.2%), stage IIE=4/7(57.1%). Radiotherapy alone is not well effective for the nasal cavity lymphoma extended to paranasal sinus and the palate. Conclusion: We are unable to provide clear guidelines for treatment, but recommend the initial treatment with oral alkylating agents and steroids followed by radiotherapy for Ann Arbor stage II tumors and stage I of the palate lymphoma and the nasal cavity lymphoma extended to paranasal sinus.

11살의 암컷 말티즈견이 1주일간의 군집성 발작을 주증상으로 내원하였다. 뇌 컴퓨터 단층영상 결과를 기초로 뇌종양이 강하게 의심되었다. 보호자의 요청에 따라 환자의 안락사를 실시하고 부검이 진행되었다. 부검 상 뇌의 가로단면의 육안적인 소견은, 붉은색의 종양덩어리가 비교적 잘 구분되어있었고 왼쪽 외측 뇌실에 위치해 있었으며 주변 조직들이 압박되어 있었다. 종양덩어리는 2가지의 독특한 조직병리학적인 소견을 보였다: 혈관주위 거짓로제트 양상의 구조와 원섬유 세포의 소용돌이 구조. 면역조직화학적 검사에서 GFAP에 대한 강한 양성, S-100에 대한 중등도의 양성, Ki-67에 대한 드문드문한 점상 염색성이 확인되었다. 조직병리학적 및 면역조직화학적 소견을 기초로 이 환자는 뇌실막종으로 진단되었다.

Objectives : Meningeal hemangiopericytoma is a rare tumor. Clinical and radiological features are similar to those of an ordinary meningioma. But its biological behavior is quite different from those of a meningioma as it brings profuse bleeding in the operation field, frequent recurrence and metastasis to other systemic organs even in the case of gross total resection. In order to find out the prognostic factors and to compare longterm outcome after various treatment modalities, the authors reviewed consecutive 20 operated cases of meningeal hemangiopericytoma to characterize their clinical features, surgical outcomes and effectiveness of the radiation therapy. Methods : Twenty patients with a hemangiopericytoma were treated between 1982 and 1999 in our department. They are composed of 13 patients of hemangiopericytoma and 7 patients who were initially diagnosed as angioblastic type meningioma and then confirmed as a hemangiopericytoma after review of their previous histopathology slides. The mean follow-up period was 99 months(1-256 months). The long-term outcomes after various treatment modalities were evaluated according to recurrence-free survival and image follow-up. Recurrence-free survival curves are compared between the patient groups according to the extent of removal and radiation therapy. Results : There were 10 cases of recurrence and 4 cases of distant metastases ; lung, liver and femur(2 cases) respectively. The 5-year recurrence rate was 37%, while the 10-year recurrence rose to 77%. There was also statistically significant difference of median recurrence-free survival between the completely-resected group(Simpson grade 1 or 2) and partially-resected group(Simpson grade 3 or 4 or 5) ; 137 months compared to 47 months, respectively(p=0.009). The median recurrence-free period after subtotal resection of tumor and postoperative radiotherapy was 47 months compared to 117 months of the patients who underwent gross total resection of tumor and did not receive radiotherapy. But radiation therapy alone did not show significant difference in recurrence-free survival. Marked tumor volume reduction and easy removal of tumors without bleeding were found in 2 recurred cases. Conclusion : The extent of tumor resection and presence of metastasis are the most important factors related to long-term outcome of the patients with hemangiopericytoma. Radiation therapy after the first operation did not have a role in extending the recurrence-free survival, but it affected favorably to decrease the size of residual mass and intraoperative bleeding during the second operation.
