The effect of Roentgen rays on carcinoma of the cervix has long been of great interest to both radiologists and gynecologists. Since most cervical carcinomas are treated by irradiation, any additional knowledge either concerning the radiosensitivity of cervical tumors or their ultimate prognosis would be of value. The vaginal smear is considered to be one of convenient and rapid methods to study the effects of radiation on cervical malignancy. We observed morphologic changes in 297 cytologic preparations obtained from 60 patients who had underwent irradiation for cancer of the cervix. With the morphologic parameters such as cytoplasmic vacuolization, cytoplasmic basophilia, multinucleated giant cell formation, polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNL) sticking and postradiation dysplasia, we analyzed the findings in relation to the follow up time interval. The most common effect was the cytoplasmic vacuolization with basophilia of basaloid cells, which were noted in more than 90% of followed patients. The multinucleated giant ceil formation and PMNL stickering were noted in 38 cases(63%) and 48 cases(80% ) respectively. The differential diagnosis of postradiation dysplasia from recurrent or persistent carcinoma, reparative atypical cells, and regressing tumor cells was difficult and further study seems to be needed to clarify the more accurate morphologic features and biologic behavior.

Trichoblastic carcinoma usually occurs as a malignant transformation of the trichoblastoma, but is very rare. A 25-year-old man was admitted with trichoblastoma in the nuchal area with frequent recurrences since birth. The preoperative neck magnetic resonance image revealed lobulated soft tissue lesions involving superficial fascia and infiltrating into both proximal trapezius muscles. In our department, wide excision and reconstruction with a free anterolateral thigh flap were performed. Histological examination revealed skin adnexal carcinoma, originating from the hair follicles, consistent with trichoblastic carcinoma. There was no palpable mass 5 years postoperatively, and there was no recurrence on follow-up positron emission tomography-computed tomography. Trichoblastic carcinomas are rare and difficult to diagnose, but histopathological findings include atypical basaloid keratinocytes with crowded, hyperchromatic nuclei, and increased mitotic activity. The presence of hypercellular stroma is a criterion for distinguishing trichoblastic carcinoma from basal cell carcinoma. A rare giant trichoblastic carcinoma was reported, which was the biggest one in the literature.

Background: Primary bone neoplasms are rare, contributing only 0.2% of the global burden of all human malignancies. Osteosarcoma (OS) and chondrosarcoma (CS) are the most common malignancies of bone. The giant cell tumor of bone (GCTb) is a benign tumor with behavior characterized by osteolytic bone destruction. The OS, CS and GCTb affect both sexes, all races and generally have incidence peaks regarding the age of the patient which vary according to the tumor type. We analyzed the incidences of OS, CS and GCTb and their relations with gender and age in patients treated in the National Rehabilitation Institute (INR, for its acronym in Spanish) over a period of nine years. Materials and Methods: In the study period, clinic pathological data for 384 patients were obtained with clinical, radiological and histopathological diagnosis for OS, GCTb and CS. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square and Fisher's exact tests. Results: From 2006 to 2014 were recorded 384 cases of bone malignancies in the database of INR. The GCTb had the highest incidence (53.1%), followed by OS (31.3%) and finally the CS (15.6%). The overall average age was $33.6{\pm}15.8$ years and the overall frequency of gender had a ratio of 1/1.03 male/female. The states with the highest incidence were Distrito Federal and Estado de Mexico with 29.2% and 25.3% respectively. Malignant neoplasms of bone assessed in the course of nine years show three significant increases in 2008, 2011 and 2014 (p=0.14). We found association between sex and tumor type (p=0.03), GCTb and CS predominated in females (54.9% and 56.6% respectively), while for the OS males were most affected (59.1%). Age was different in relation with tumor type (p=0.0001), average age was $24.3{\pm}11.2$ years for OS, $34.5{\pm}13$ years for GCTb and $49.2{\pm}18.5$ years for CS. Furthermore, associations of tumor type with topographic location of the primary tumor (P=0.0001) were found. Conclusions: In this study we can see that incidence of musculoskeletal tumor in our population is continuously increasing and in nine years an approximately 200% increase of musculoskeletal tumor cases was observed.

갈색 종양 (brown tumor or osteitis cystica fibrosa)은 일차성 또는 이차성 부갑상선 기능항진증의 골소견 중 하나이다. 부갑상선 질환이 의심될 때에 과거에는 $^{201}TI/^{99m}Tc$ 감영 스캔이 가장 많이 이용되는 비침습적 방법 중 하나였으나, 근래에는 $^{99m}Tc-MIBI$를 이용한 핵의학 영상이 더 널리 사용되고 있다. $^{99m}Tc-MIBI$의 종양 섭취에는 혈류의 증가, 세포 대사 및 미토콘드리아의 활동성이 관계된다고 보고되었지만, 갈색 종양에의 $^{99m}Tc-MIBI$의 섭취기전에 대해서는 거의 알려져 있지 않다. 저자들은 이전에 중족골의 거대 세포종 (Giant cell tumor)으로 오진하였던 환자에서, $^{99m}Tc-MIBI$스캔상 갈색 종양이 의심되었고, 후에 수술을 통해 부갑상선 암종 (Parathyroid carcinoma)이 확인되었던 1예를 보고하고자 한다.

Fibroma of the tendon sheath (FTS) was initially described in 1936 by Geschickter and Copeland as a benign firmed soft tissue tumor that is rare and less common than another soft tissue tumors, especially giant cell tumors (GCT) of the tendon sheath. The common distinct feature is a slow-growing least painful rare entity arising from the tendon or tendon sheath. FTS is detected mostly in the fingers, hands and wrists but less commonly in the foot. Very few cases of FTS have been described arising from a flexor tendon of the foot. This article describes a 51-year-old patient with FTS that developed in the extensor tendon of the foot, which is the only known FTS to form in this area. Heterogeneous low signal intensity in both the T1- and T2-weighted images was observed in magnetic resonance imaging. The lesion was excised completely by open surgery. Histologically, it showed randomly arranged, fibroblast-like spindle cells in dense fibrous tissue and had insufficient hemosiderin-laden macrophages that are typical for GCT.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to present the MRI and CT findings of solitary spinal bone lesions (SSBLs) with the aims of aiding the differential diagnoses of malignant tumors and benign lesions, and proposing a diagnostic strategy for obscure SSBLs. Methods : The authors retrospectively reviewed the imaging findings of 19 patients with an obscure SSBL on MRI at our hospital from January 1994 to April 2011. The 19 patients were divided to benign groups and malignant groups according to final diagnosis. MRI and CT findings were evaluated and the results of additional work-up studies were conducted to achieve a differential diagnosis. Results : At final diagnoses, 10 (52.6%) of the 19 SSBLs were malignant tumors and 9 (47.4%) were benign lesions. The malignant tumors included 6 metastatic cancers, 3 multiple myelomas, and 1 chordoma, and the benign lesions included 4 osteomyelitis, 2 hemangiomas, 2 nonspecific chronic inflammations, and 1 giant cell tumor. No MRI characteristics examined was found to be significantly different in the benign and malignant groups. Reactive sclerotic change was observed by CT in 1 (10.0%) of the 10 malignant lesions and in 7 (77.8%) of the 9 benign lesions (p=0.005). Conclusion : Approximately half of the obscure SSBLs were malignant tumors. CT and MRI findings in combination may aid the differential diagnosis of obscure SSBLs. In particular, sclerotic change on CT images was an important finding implying benign lesion. Finally, we suggest a possible diagnostic strategy for obscure SSBLs on MRI.

Teratomas can occur in almost any region of the body and are the most common extragonadal germ cell childhood tumors. However, craniofacial teratomas are rare. Craniofacial teratomas can present unique features and cause significant functional and aesthetic concerns. There are complex lesions that can have components intra-cranially and extra-cranially. Therefore, their management requires significant multi-stage multidisciplinary surgical procedures. Herein, we present a case of craniofacial teratoma in a child with the phenotype of proboscis lateralis that highlights some of the pertinent point of the diagnosis and management of congenital neonatal teratomas.

A segmental resection and rotationplasty was performed in 23 patients with malignant and aggressive boning tumor of the distal femur or proximal tibia between February 1988 and September 1992 at the Severance Hospital. There were 13 male and 10 female patients. The yongest was 5 years old and the oldest was 37 years old. Mean age at operation was 22 years. Of the 23 cases 14 were osteosarcoma, 7 were giant cell tumor and 2 were synovial sarcoma. After an average observation period of 32.5months, there was no evidence of local recurrence but 6 distant metastasis developed. According to Shriner's rating scale, the functional result were excellent or good in all cases. All patient were convinced that they chosen the appropriate operative procedure and the ability to achieve high level of activity was considered as the main benefit.

목적: 골종양이 의심되는 환자들에게 탈륨 스캔을 시행하여 섭취 정도를 정량적으로 측정하고 비교 분석하여 탈륨 스캔의 악성 골종양 조직에 대한 판별 능력을 규명하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 골종양이 의심되는 82명의 환자에 대하여 조직 생검 전에 다른 영상검사와 함께 전향적으로 탈륨 스캔을 시행하였다. 스캔의 결과는 정성적 판독과 정량적 탈륨 섭취율을 측정하였으며, retention index(delayed/early phase의 탈륨 섭취량)를 구하였다. 결과의 분석을 위하여 고등급 악성 골종양 군, 양성 골종양 군, 거대세포종 군 및 저등급 악성 골종양 군으로 나누고 각 그룹간의 통계적 유의성을 조사하였다. 결과: 탈륨 섭취율의 정량적 측정에서는 고등급 악성 골종양 군에서는 early phase에 평균 4.14, delayed phase에서는 평균 2.26였으며, 양성 골종양 군에서는 각각 1.16과 1.09, 거대세포종 군에서는 3.15와 1.94, 저등급 악성 골종양 군에서는 1.41과 1.31이었다. Retention index는 고등급 악성 골종양 군에서는 평균 0.62, 양성 골종양 군에서는 0.97, 거대세포종 군에서는 0.66, 저등급 악성 골종양 군에서는 0.93이었다. 고등급 악성 골종양 군은 early phase와 delayed phase의 탈륨 섭취율이 거대세포종을 제외한 양성 골종양 군 보다 유의하게 높았으며(p<0.001), retention index는 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.001). 결론: 탈륨 스캔은 악성 골종양과 대부분의 양성 골종양을 구분 할 수 있는 유용한 검사라고 사료되지만, 거대세포종의 경우 악성 골종양 같이, 저등급 악성 골종양의 경우 양성 골종양 같이 나타나는 특성에 유의하여 사용하여야 할 것이다.
