자궁내막암은 흔한 부인과암으로 소장으로의 전이는 드물며, 원격 전이보다 주변 장기로의 국소 침윤으로 발생한다. 자궁내막암이 다른 곳에 전이 소견 없이 단독으로 소장에 전이한 경우는 매우 드물다. 또한 성인에서 장중첩증은 드문 질환으로 이로 인해 장폐색이 발생하는 비율은 매우 낮다. 저자들은 자궁내막암 병기 IB로 수술 및 방사선 치료 후 경과관찰 중이던 환자에서 공장공장 장중첩증으로 인해 장폐색이 발생하였음을 소장 조영술 및 복부 전산화 단층촬영으로 진단하였고, 공장 국소절제술 후 자궁내막암의 단독 소장 전이로 확인하였던 증례를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고한다.

Here we described 2 cancer patients treated by acupuncture for abdominal pain as a complication of bowel obstruction. The patient 1, 43-year-old man was treated with surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy for rectal cancer. Two years after surgery, he complained of acute abdominal pain due to small bowel adhesion band. Bowel obstruction and symptoms were not improved by conservative therapy like as fasting, keeping Levin tube, and fluid therapy. 4 months later, he could eat a little rice water, but ileus and abdominal pain persisted despite of applying opiod drug and patch. Got started on acupuncture, electroacupuncture(ST-36) and moxa treatment, pain was relived gradually. He could stop opioids 1 month later and ileus was improved after acupuncture therapy for 2 months. The patient 2, 65-year-old woman got hepatectomy, cholecystectomy, and chemotherapy with cholangiocarcinoma. 6 months after surgery, she got laparotomy again for biopsy of new mass around ascending colon. She started eating after gas passing, but felt abdominal distension. Diffuse paralytic ileus was diagnosed by abdominal X-ray, and she got started conservative therapy. During ST-36 electroacupuncture therapy, symptoms like abdominal pain and distension were improved and could stop opiod patch. But eating aggravated ileus again and clinical finding of mechanical bowel obstruction was appeared. Based on these cases, acupuncture and moxa therapy could be helpful for improving abdominal pain and ileus, but possibility of malignant bowel obstruction should be considered especially in cancer patients.

Purpose: Intussusception is the most common cause of bowel obstruction in children; however, it is rarely diagnosed in newborn infants. This study aimed to describe the clinical features of intussusception in newborn infants. Methods: Medical records of eight patients diagnosed with intussusception during the newborn period at Ulsan University Hospital between March 2007 and March 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Among the eight cases, two occurred in the intrauterine period and six occurred in the postnatal period. Intrauterine intussusception presented with symptoms of bowel obstruction within 1 to 2 days after birth, and ileal atresia was diagnosed simultaneously through exploratory laparotomy. All the postnatal patients were extremely low birth weight infants (median gestational age and birth weight: 25⁺⁶ weeks and 745 g, respectively). Four cases were diagnosed preoperatively using abdominal ultrasonography. One patient was diagnosed by exploratory laparotomy because the clinical symptoms were nonspecific and difficult to differentiate from those of necrotizing enterocolitis, a more prevalent complication in preterm infants. The site of intussusception in all six patients was the small bowel. Meckel's diverticulum (one case) and meconium obstruction (two cases) were found to be the lead point. Conclusion: Neonatal intussusception tends to show different clinical features according to its period of occurrence. Intussusception, especially in preterm infants, has nonspecific clinical features; therefore, clinicians should always be cautious of this disease for its early diagnosis.

A 6-month-old intact female Bichon Frise dog weighing 0.9 kg presented with vomiting, anorexia, and lethargy persisting for 3 days. No remarkable abnormalities were detected on the history or physical examination. Laboratory findings were mostly normal, except for elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Abdominal radiography revealed a fluid-dilated stomach and gas-dilated intestinal loops in the regional areas. Abdominal ultrasonography was performed to investigate the cause of gastrointestinal dilation, which revealed a rectangular, homogeneous, echogenic foreign material with no shadowing in the small intestine, causing mechanical obstruction. Upon further inquiry involving detailed re-take of history with the owner, a history of ingesting dog gum 4 days prior was identified. On surgical enterotomy, the hard pet food was identified and removed from the distal duodenum. Postoperatively, the patient's clinical signs showed complete improvement, with a return to normal appetite. The present case demonstrates that less-digestible, hard pet food, despite showing no shadowing on ultrasonography, can act as a foreign material, causing mechanical intestinal obstruction in a small-breed puppy. Furthermore, surgical removal of these materials is necessary in cases of intestinal obstruction.

소장 평활근육종은 매우 드물고 특이증상이 없으므로 원인 모를 위장관 출혈, 장폐쇄, 종물촉지, 빈혈, 복통 및 오한 등이 동반될 때 한 번은 고려하여 조기진단으로 환자의 사망율을 줄여야 할 것으로 사료된다. 최근들어 우리 나라에서도 그 증례보고가 늘어나고 본원에서도 2예를 경험한 바 이를 요약하면 1) 2예 모두 33세 남자였다 2) 발생부위는 공장 1예, 회장 1예였다 3) 주소는 1예에서는 복부통증을 동반한 종물촉지였고 다른 l 예에서는 천공에 의한 급성복막염 증상이었다. 4) 실험치상 CEA가 1예에서는 3.37에서 11.65ng/ml로 증가하였고, 다른 1예에서는 1.83 ng/ml였다. 혈색소는 술전 8.1gm%, 9.5gm%로 나타났다. Benzidine 잠혈반응은 둘 다 양성(++)였다. 5) 수술은 1예에서는 광범위 절제술 실시후 약 13개월만에 재발하여 재 수술하여 조직 검사를 다시 시행한 후 화학요법(VAC) 치료후 현재까지 외래에서 정기검진을 하고 있으며, 나머지 l예에서는 광범위 절제술후 15일만에 자진 퇴원하여 결과관철이 되지 못하고 있다.

목 적 : 소장조영술과 복부골반 CT검사의 진단 결과를 비교함으로써 방사선학적 영상의 특징 파악 및 질환에 따른 적절한 방사선학적 검사법을 선택하는데 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 1999년부터 2000년까지 소장조영술과 복부골반 CT검사를 병행하여 시행한 환자 284명을 대상으로 하여, 각각의 진단 소견을 병명별로 분류하였다. 소장조영술은 250 ml 황산바륨 현탁액(W/V 40W/V%, Methylcellulose+$BaSo_4$)을 경구로 복용시키고, Rt. recumbent position을 취하게 한 후 약 10분 후에 Carboxymethylcellulose solution(0.5%) 600 ml 복용시켰다. 20분, 40분, 1시간 정규촬영을 하고, 조영제가 회맹판(I-C valve)을 통과하면 투시 하에 저격촬영을 시행하였다. 복부골반전산화단층촬영은 검사 1시간 전에 $BaSO_4$+Methylcellulose 1.5 W/V% 450 ml를 복용시키고 검사직전 450 ml 추가로 복용시켰다. 요오드 성분의 비이온성 조영제 2.5 ml flow/sec로 주입하고, 조영제 주입 후 72초 지연 촬영을 하였다. 촬영은 간 상연에서부터 치골결합 부위까지 continuous scan을 시행하였으며, 검사 protocol은 Helical thick 5 mm, picth 1.375 : 1, speed 27.50, increment 5 mm, 120 kV, 245 mA로 하였다. 결 과 : 소장조영술에서는 정상(Normal)이 131예(46.1%), 감염성 장질환(Inflammatory bowel disease ; 이하 IBS)이 65예(22.9%), ischemia+ileocolitis+vasculitis 22예(7.7%), obstruction+stricture 21예(7.4%)의 순으로 나타났고, 복부골반 CT검사에서는 정상이 103예(36.3%) IBS가 65예(22.9%), wall thickening+lymphadenopathy가 42예(14.8%), fluid collection이 17예(6%)의 순으로 나타났다. 소장조영술과 복부골반 CT검사에서 동일하지 않은 결과로 진단된 경우는 소장조영술에서 정상으로 진단된 132명(46.1%) 중 14예(10.6%), 복부골반 CT검사 결과에서는 wall thickening+lymphadenopathy와 IBS로 진단되어 차이를 보였으며, 복부골반 CT검사 결과 정상으로 진단된 103예(36.3%) 중 5예(5.8%)가 소장조영술에서 ischemia+ileocolitis+vasculitis로 진단되었다. 정상으로 진단 된 235예 중 37예(15.9%)가 서로 다른 결과로 진단되어 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(P<0.05). 결 론 : 본 연구에서 특정질환에 특정검사의 진단결과가 우수하게 나타나는 것으로 조사되었으므로 방사선학적 검사의 진단적 민감도를 높이기 위해서는 처방 및 검사에 있어서 질환에 따른 적절한 검사법의 선택이 무엇보다도 중요하리라 사료된다.

Intestinal tuberculosis is an infection of the gastrointestinal tract by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. To the best of our knowledge, solitary intestinal tuberculosis accompanied by intestinal obstruction, particularly in the middle of the small intestine, is extremely rare. We report a case of solitary jejunal tuberculosis in a 49-year-old man with no underlying disease. He was admitted a few days after the onset of diffuse abdominal discomfort. Upon evaluation, we initially considered a malignancy of the distal jejunum with ileus due to the presence of a mass. Therefore, he underwent laparoscopic resection of the small bowel. Unexpectedly, the histologic specimen showed a chronic caseating granulomatous lesion with acid-fast bacilli. Ultimately, he was diagnosed with solitary jejunal tuberculosis. He was successfully treated with anti-tuberculosis drugs without any complications.

Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) of the small intestine is a rare tumor, accounting for about 1% of all malignant mesenchymal lesions in the gastrointestinal tract. Since small bowel tumors are initially asymptomatic and nonspecific, delayed diagnosis and treatment are common. We found that a 44-year-old male patient who came in for lower abdominal pain had partial obstruction in the small bowel. Multiple ascites and ileal tumors involving peritoneal seeding were observed from his abdominal computed tomography. He was diagnosed as epithelioid LMS involving peritoneal transition after surgical resection, and the outpatient department has planned for a conservative therapy with observation. To the best of our knowledge, ileal epithelioid LMS accompanying a huge omental mass, with a size of 18 cm in dimension, and peritoneal seeding has not yet been reported in Korea. We report this rare case with literature review.
