Primary intraosseous carcinoma (PIOC) is a rare odontogenic carcinoma defined as a squamous cell carcinoma arising within a jaw having no initial connection with the oral mucosa, and probably developing from residues of the odontogenic epithelium. PIOC appears more common in male than female, especially at posterior portion of the mandible. Radiographic features of PIOC show irregular patterns of bone destruction with ill defined margins. It could be sometimes misdiagnosed as the cyst or benign tumor because it shows well defined margins. If it couldn't be done appropriate treatment initially, PIOC shows extremely aggressive involvement, extensive local destruction and spreads to the overlying soft tissue. Therefore accurate diagnosis in early state is necessary. The diagnosis criteria proposed for PIOC are : (1) absence of ulcer formation, except when caused by other factors, (2) histologic evidence of squamous cell carcinoma without a cystic component or other odontogenic tumor cell, and (3) absence of another primary tumor on chest radiograph obtained at the time of diagnosis and during a follow-up period of more than 6 month(Suei et al., 1994).

Intraosseous lipoma is a benign tumor that originates from proliferating mature lipocytes. It often occurs in the metaphysis of long bones of the lower extremity, and also in the calcaneus, humerus, mandible, sacrum, and rib bones. Frequently, it involutes spontaneously through a process of infarction, calcification, and cyst formation. It can either present as pain, or be asymptomatic and only discovered through an incidental radiological finding. In our case, the patient presented with heel pain. Intraoperatively, it was found that the intraosseous cavity was filled with fat along with an adjacent but separate area of cystic degeneration. There was also a cortical perforation at the cystic lesion which was communicating with the subtalar joint. This cortical breach is most likely the cause of diffuse lateral heel pain experienced by our patient, and such a pathological fracture due to intraosseous lipoma has never been reported.

Unerupted or erupted supernumerary tooth may cause crowding, diastema, cyst formation, resorption, and displacement or rotation of adjacent teeth. However, there are few studies about prognosis about the pathologic condition and expectation of spontaneous eruption. The object of this study is to evaluate factors predicting the spontaneous eruption of supernumerary tooth. 431 patients (346 males and 85 females, aged from 5 to 29 years) who visited our institution from 2002-2006 and were shown to have 471 mesiodentes was reviewed. Supernumerary teeth were classified inverted and not inverted state. In case of not inverted supernumerary tooth, eruption rate ac cording to length of supernumenary tooth, width of the tooth, angle between the tooth and incisor tooth, location (inside the incisor or not) and shape (conical or tubercle) were investigated. The regression model showed that length, width and angle were all important determinants of influencing the eruption of supernumerary tooth (p < 0.001, Pearson R: 0.619). There is no relation between shape and eruption of supernumerary tooth (p > 0.05). Location of mesiodens has an effect on eruption of supernumerary tooth (p < 0.01).

We report on the gonadal structure abnormality and intersexuality found from a survey regarding the reproductive potential of the rock bream, Oplegnathus fasciatus, along the southern coast of Korea. In total, 448 samples were collected for histological analysis (total length 27.5±6.8 cm; total weight 522.9±385.6 g). The sex ratio (F:M) was 1:0.46 (n=307:141), with 68.5% being females. The frequency of oocyte atresia and ovarian neoplasm in the females was 85.3% and 21.5%, respectively, and the frequency of testicular lobule and cyst deformation and testicular neoplasm in the males was 73.1% and 37.6%, respectively. The scale formation in the ovary and testis was approximately 2.0% for both sexes. The intersexuality was 42.2%, with the intersexuality among females being 49.5%, which was significantly higher than that of males (26.2%). Such findings indicate a negative impact on the reproductive output of the rock bream along the southern coast of Korea; however, a more detailed study is required to ascertain accurate causes.

Presented here are the results for clinical study on 65 cases of simple goiter the author treated during the period of 4 years and 10 months from Jan. 1963 through Oct. 1967 at the Seoul National University Hospital and Han-Il Hospital. It had been customary to classify simple goiter, according to the gross morphological characteristics of the thyroid gland, as diffuse and nodular type. This paper attempts to investigate the histopathological changes and treatment of simple goiter respectively. Sixty five cases of simple goiter were classified into 4 types; namely degenerative type was 20 cases (30.8%), proliferative type was 7 cases (10..8%), colloidal type was 24 cases (36.9%) and cyst formation with degeneration was 14 cases (21.5%), on the basis of histopathological findings. Thus, it is essential that simple goiter should be differentiated from thyroid tumors as soon as practicable. The effectiveness of medical treatment with desicated thyroid and autohemotherapy for certain simple goiter are also discussed.

목적 : 낭포성 신질환은 다양한 임상증상, 조직학적 소견 및 예후를 나타내는 질환군이다. 이 질환은 종류에 따라 임상 증상이 발현되는 시기나 나타나는 신질환의 정도가 다르다. 유전성 또는 발달장애가 원인인 낭포신이 있고, 소아에서는 드물지만, 성인에서는 후천성으로 생기는 낭포신이 있다. 다양한 원인에도 불구하고 낭포형성의 과정은 비슷한 것으로 알려져 있다. 최근들어 영상진단의 발달로 본 질환의 조기 진단이 가능해졌으나 아직 그 치료는 만족스럽지 못하다. 본 연구에서는 낭포성 신질환의 분포, 빈도, 동반기형, 발견동기, 치료 및 예후에 대해서 알아보고자 한다. 방법 : 1986년 1월부터 1996년 12월까지 11년간 18세 미만의 낭포성 신질환 환아 44명을 대상으로 임상 기록지를 토대로 후향적 고찰을 시행하였다. 결과 : 1) 낭포성 신질환 환아 44명중 다발성 낭포성 이형성 신(multicystic dysplastic kidney)이 31명(71%)으로 가장 많았고, 다낭포 신(polycystic kidney)이 7명(16%)이었으며 이들 모두 상염색체 열성 유전 다낭포신(Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease)이었다. 단순 신낭포(simple cyst)는 5명(11%)이었으며 수질성 해면신 (medullary sponge kidney)이 1명 있었다. 2) 다발성 낭포성 이형성 신 환아 31명중 11명(35%)이 암종과의 감별 및 복부 팽만 등의 이유로 신절제술을 시행받았다. 3) 전체 낭포성 신질환 환아중 14명(32%)이 신생아 시기에 발견되어 진단만 받았을뿐 더이상 검사나 추적관찰을 하지 않았다. 4) 전 예에서 신부전의 증거는 없었다. 결론 : 본 연구결과 낭포성 신질환의 정확한 발생빈도는 알 수 없었으나 그 발생 기전과 분류 및 치료기준에 대한 지속적인 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.ed cord 증후군에서 비뇨기계의 증상 및 비정상 검사 소견이 동반되는 경우가 흔하며 비뇨기계의 이상을 시사하는 증상이 없는 경우에도 검사상 이상이 발견되는 경우가 적지 않다. Tethered cord 증후군 환아의 평가는 신경학적 이상 유무는 물론이고 비뇨기계의 이상 여부에 대한 평가도 필히 포함되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.X> 섭취량은 배추의 경우 3.72배, 양배추의 경우 4.18배, 양상추의 경우 6.50배나 많았다. 6. 결론적으로 같은 량의 엽채류를 섭식하면서 일일 질산염 섭취량을 줄이기 위해서는 배추, 양배추, 양상추 모두 외부엽보다는 내부엽을 선택적으로 소비하는 것이 바람직함을 알 수 l있었다.었다. 6. 녹즙 종류별 ${NO_3}^-$ 함량은 당근녹즙(143ppm) < 명일엽(506ppm) < 돌미나리(669ppm) < 케일녹즙(985ppm) 순으로 많았고, Vitamin C 함량은 당근(43ppm) < 돌미나리(289ppm) < 케일(353ppm) < 명일엽(768ppm)의 순으로 높았다. 7. 일일 ${NO_3}^-$ 섭취량은 500ml의 녹즙을 마시는 경우 명일엽 253mg, 돌미나리 335mg, 케일 483mg으로 녹즙만으로도 이미 WHO/FAO의 일일 ${NO_3}^-$ 섭취허용량보다 1.16배, 1.53배, 2.21배나 초과할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 연약한 곤충의 방제에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 제조된 살충비누를 활용하면 환경친화적인 해충방제가 가능하다고 판단되었다.소변의 이상소견이 발견되어 신장 조직검사를 실시할 경우 혈청 $C_3$치의 감소 여부에 관계없이 MPGN도 진단적 고려 대상이 되어야 한다고 생각한다.신장 조직검사를 시행한 결과 진행성 경과를 취할 수 있는 막 증식성 사구체 신염과 매우 희귀한 증례인 신유전분증 등으로

Purpose: Parotid neoplasia are relatively frequent, representing approximately 3% of all tumors in the head and neck regions. But incomplete resection and misdiagnosis of parotid gland is followed by multiple tumor invasion, tumor recurrence, and other iatrogenic tumor formation. In patients undergoing parotidectomy for confirmed or suspected malignancy, the traditional or modified rhytidectomy incision may prove suboptimal because it does not easily lend itself to a continuous neck dissection. Similarly, patients with tumors of the anterior accessory lobe or patients with large anterior tumors may also require the modified Blair incision for adequate surgical exposure. This report serves to revisit the topic of accessory and parotid gland neoplasms to emphasize proper management, particularly the surgical aspects, so that consequences of recurrence are avoided. Methods: This is a retrospective review of our experience with two cases of parotid tumors; one accessory parotid gland neoplasm and one parotid gland neoplasm. We report the case of parotid tumor and epidermal cyst in a 54-year old male patient and the case of case of recurrent parotid tumor with local invasion in 30-year old male patient. Results: All were removed through a modified Blair incision. Pathologic report notified that One was found pleomorphic adenoma and epidermal cyst, and the other one pleomorphic adenoma with subcutenous invasion. The patients recovered well without any complication such as infection, hematoma, facial nerve palsy, and necrosis of skin flap. Patients were discharge POD#7. Patients were followed up to for 1 year and they have no sign of recurrence. Conclusions: A high index of suspicion, prudent diagnostic skills(including fine-needle aspiration biopsy, CT, US), and meticulous surgical approach are the keys to a successful management of these lesions. We experienced two cases of parotid neoplasia, in the treatment of tumor reccurence & iatrogenic tumor arising from the parotid gland and are presented with the review of literatures.

A field survey for dinoflagellate cysts was carried out from May 2000 to November 2002 for the Southwest Sea of Korea. A total dinoflagellate cysts identified were 33 species, which belonged to 17 genera, 31 species, and 2 unidentified species. A cysts density were 16-1,501 cysts-gdry$^{-1}$. The dominant species of dinoflagellate cysts in the Southwestern Sea of Korea were Spiniferites bulloideus and Scrippsiella trochoidea, which are autotrophic species. To investigate the environmental characteristics of the Southwestern Sea of Korea using the dinoflagellate cysts, a principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted using the data collected from a total of 51 stations. From the score distribution map by the PCA, the Southwestern Sea of Korea was largely divided into three regions according to the first primary component and the second primary component. In other words, Group 1 was the western sea area of Mokpo and Jindo, Group 2 was the outer sea area of the South Sea, and Group 3 was the coastal areas of the South Sea around the Archipelago. It was found that this division of sea area was influenced by effects of the sea environment of the coastal areas of Korea. The coastal areas of Mokpo and Jindo that belong to Group 1 were affected by the cold Yellow Sea water. The outer sea area of the central parts of the South Sea that belong to Group 2, which is the boundary between the Southern coastal water of Korea and the Tsushima warm water, was subject to the formation of temperature fronts throughout the year, while Group 3 was affected by the coastal waters of Korea. It was also found that this division was in close relationship with the distribution of sediment facies in the bottom layer. From the above results, the environmental factors that influence the cyst distribution in he Southwestern Sea of Korea were found to include the eutrophication status of the sea area, the physical characteristics of the sea environment such as the flow of sea current and fronts, the sediment facies in the bottom layer, and the appearance volume of motile cells.

치아의 맹출은 치아가 구강내 교합평면에 도달하여 기능적인 위치를 차지할 때까지의 치아 이동 및 골조직 내에서의 발달로 이루어지는 생리학적인 양상으로 이해되어진다. 그러나 치아가 정상적으로 맹출해야 하는 시기를 지나서도 골조직 내에서 맹출하지 않을 수 있으며, 이러한 치아를 매복치라 일컫는다. 이러한 치아 매복의 주된 요인은 국소적인 것으로 악궁내 공간 부족, 치아 위치 이상, 과잉치, 맹출 경로의 감염, 낭종 및 안면 외상으로 인한 치배의 영향 등이 있다. 또한 쇄골두개이골증, 골다공증 등의 전신적 그리고 유전적 질환도 맹출 장애와 맹출 지연 등과 관련이 있다. 현재까지 매복치의 대부분은 영구치로 보고되었으며 반면에 유치의 매복에 대한 것은 극히 소수에 불과하고, 매복된 유치의 대다수는 제 2 유구치이다. 유치의 매복은 유착에 의해 이차적으로 생긴 저위교합과는 구별되어야 하며, 유치의 매복에 대한 병인은 유치 치배의 비정상적인 발달로 인해 조기에 유착이 일어나는 것으로 추측되어지고 있으나, 아직까지 정확하게 밝혀진 바는 없다. 유치의 맹출 실패로 나타날 수 있는 문제점으로는 계승 영구치 발달 및 맹출 방해, 낭종 형성이나 감염의 발생 등을 생각해 볼 수 있다. 본 증례들은 연세대학교 치과대학병원 소아치과에 내원한 환아의 구강 및 방사선학적 검사에서 유구치의 매복이 관찰되었기에 이에 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: Congenital dermoid cysts develop during the fusion of the embryo when the ectodermal tissue gets trapped in the line of fusion. Dermoid cysts of the head are rare lesions comprised of epidermal and mesodermal elements. Furthermore, dermoid cysts in the occipital area are extremely rare. Only a few cases of dermoid cysts in the posterior scalp have been reported. Especially, A bilateral, synchronous presentation in this location has not been reported previously in the literature. Methods: All 5 cases had a gradually enlarging mass of the posterior aspect of the scalp. The cysts were mobile, noncompressible, and non-tender, without evidence of an associated sinus tract, skin dimpling, discoloration, or communication with adjacent structures. The CT scan displayed a hypodense cystic lesions about -87 to +24 HU (Housefield units, average +3.2 HU) with hypodense capsule and no postcontrast enhancement. All tumors were found just under the skin, and were well encapsulated, so they were completely removed the mass with adjacent periosteum. Results: On gross findings, all tumors were oval-or round-shaped, and when the cystic tumor was cut open it presented a greasy and caseous substance. Histologically, all specimens contain desquamated squamous epithelium and keratin in the lumen and are encapsulated and lined by keratinized stratified squamous epithelium. And, all cases of posterior mass are the presence of adnexal structures. Conclusion: Appropriate diagnosis requires not only an index of suspicion for this rare tumor a very careful history and search for skin changes. Especially, CT can reveal the exact location of the cyst, its relationship with the adjacent structures. We think that occipital dermoids divide into superficial and deep type. In our cases, because they did not have intra-cranial involvement or fistula formation, they are superficial type. This report describes the clinical and operative aspects of the superficial dermoid cysts and provides a review of the literatures.
