Neurofibromas are benign tumors that originate from the peripheral nerves, including neurites and fibroblasts. Generally, a solitary neurofibroma is located in the skin and rarely in other places. A 72-year-old female suffered from epigastric discomfort for 2 months. Endoscopic findings showed an early gastric cancer type IIc at the antrum. Abdominal computed tomography revealed early gastric cancer with a 1.6 cm-sized metastatic node posterior to the duodenum. Laparoscopic assisted distal gastrectomy and retro-pancreatic dissection were performed uneventfully. Histological examination revealed gastric adenocarcinoma, invading the mucosa without nodal metastasis, and a neurofibroma. Herein, we present a case of a gastric cancer patient with a solitary retroperitoneal neurofibroma which mimicked a distant metastatic node.

Migration of dental implants into the maxillary sinus is uncommon. However, poor bone quality and quantity in the posterior maxilla can increase the potential for this complication to arise during implant placement procedures. The aim of this report is to present a dental implant that migrated into the maxillary sinus and disappeared. A 53-year-old male patient was referred to us by his dentist after a dental implant migrated into his maxillary sinus. The displaced implant was discovered on a panoramic radiograph taken five days before his referral. Using computed tomography, we determined that the displaced dental implant was not in the antrum. There was also no sign of oroantral fistula. Because of the small size of the displaced implant, we think that the implant may have left the maxillary sinus via the ostium.

A 69-year-old Korean man was admitted to emergency room with complaints of abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea, Laboratory tests revealed eosinophilia, anemia, hypoproteinemia, and hyponatremia. The gastric mucosa showed whitish mottled and slightly elevated lesions on the body angle of antrum. Microscopically, chronic gastritis with incomplete intestinal metaplasia was observed. Many adult worms, larvae, and eggs in cross sections were located in the crypts. Furthermore, the filariform larvae of Strongyloides stercoralis with a notched tail were detected through the culture.

The purpose of this report is to describe the radiographic patterns of canine gastric dilatation-volvulus syndrome derived from a case. Radiographs showed the presence of a large amount of gas, fluid and ingesta within the stomach. The gas-filled pyloric antrum was present in the left cranial abdomen in the ventrodorsal view, and located dorsal and slightly cranial to the gas-filled fundus of the stomach in the right lateral recumbent and standing lateral view. On the right lateral recumbent view, the gas-filled stomach was compartmentalized by a soft-tissue dense band caused by the pyloric antral wall folding back and contacting the fundic wall. It was thought that the gastric volvulus in this case occurred In a clock. wise direction by radiographic findings.

Esophageal hiatal hernia is common disorder in western sociey, and mainly affects mid-aged women, There are two types of hiatal gernia; common and more benign type is sliding [type I], and more severe type is paraesophageal [type II], and Skinner subdivided type II as true II, IIA, III, and paraesophageal group, As Skinner`s nomination, this case could be belong to IIA, which imply the state that natural hiatus is occupied with gastric antrum or duodenum instead of normal esophago-gastric junction, Main problem of paraesophageal hernia comes from its complication; intestinal obstruction, volvulus, strangulation, and incarceration, as well as pulmonary aspiration. So, as soon as confirm diagnosis, it should be corrected surgically to prevent above complications, and sometimes it could result in serious condition. We have experienced paraesophageal hiatal hernia in 3-day newborn infant and have repaired it successfully. We used transabdominal approach to repair and to prevent reflux Nissen`s fundoplication was performed. We would report that with reference study.

Gastric lipomatosis is an extremely rare condition. We present a case of a 69-year-old woman admitted with epigastric soreness. Computerized tomography (CT) revealed extrinsically compressing, fat-containing mass lesions on the entire gastric wall of the antrum and body except for the lesser curvature. A subtotal gastrectomy was performed. Pathology findings confirmed a gastric lipomatosis with multiple gastric ulcerations and extensive disruptions of the muscular layers. This case and reports of other gastric lipomatosis cases indicate that CT should be used to characterize large submucosal masses because CT can show the specific nature and extent of the disease. We believe that surgical treatment is the most appropriate treatment for symptomatic gastric lipomatosis that shows extensive gastric involvement, or when there are multiple gastric lipomas.

Gastroduodenal intussusception, an invagination of a part of the gastric wall through the pyloric canal into the duodenum is a rare condition. Gastroduodenal intussusception is caused by a mobile usually benign gastric tumor. However, gastroduodenal intussusception by gastric submucosal hemangiomatosis is not documented. We have managed a case of gastric submucosal tumor leading to gastroduodenal intussusception in 2 years and 10 months old boy. The tumor was $10{\times}5{\times}3cm$ in size in posterior wall of gastric antrum. Laparotomy, manual reduction of the intussusception, and wedge resection of posterior gastric wall including the tumor were performed. Pathologic diagnosis was a submucosal hemangiomatosis.

A case of Aged 37, Female involving Odontogenic Maxillary Sinusitis I left maxillae Caine, premolars and molars region. patients complained Dull pain of Caine, premolars and molars upper left side of Face. Clinical finding was swelling, Dull pain sensitivity of Caine, premolars and molars, pus discharge in nasal cavity Involved in Caine, premolars and molars to Antrum. Roentgenographic examination was Caine, premlars and molars involved in maxillary sinus in left side and Radiopaque in same Antrm. This underwent caldwell-Lue approach the Extracted Caine, premolars and molars and Curettage maxillary sinus walls and Closed primary sutured under Diagnosis of Odontogenic maxillary Sinusitis and Therapeutic principles. Patients had healed Completely one year after operation and no complaints and no Oro-Antral fistula.

Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant tumor of bone. The mean age of occurrence of osteosarcoma in the jaws is around 30, somewhat older than for other sites in the body. These lesions occur about equally in the maxilla and mandible. They most frequently develop in the body in the mandible, and the antrum and the posterior portion of alveolar ridge in the maxilla. We report a case of osteosarcoma in 35 years old female complaining swelling of the left cheek. Radiographic features showed cotton wool appearance in upper left posterior area. Histopathologic findings exhibited pleomorphic malignant osteoblasts and neoplastic osteoid.

The purpose of this study is to delineate the nature of the occurrence of benign mucosal cysts in a Seoul National University Hospital population by use of orthopantomographs and to help their differentiation from more serious antral diseases. 2143 orthopantomographs were scrutinized for evidence of benign mucosal cyst, and following results were obtained from the study. 1. An incidence of 3.3% was found. 2. The lesions were found in all age groups and their mean age was 35.2 years of age. 3. The incidence was higer in males as compared to females. 4. The majority of lesions were single, unilateral and situated on the floor of the antrum. 5. The size of the lesions varied. from 7.2㎜ × 16.0㎜ to 40.0㎜ × 49.5㎜ and the mean size was 22.9㎜ × 26.5㎜. 6. There was no significant relationship between the occurrence of benign mucosal cyst and odontogenic factors.
