사지와 몸통의 연부조직 종양은 정형외과 의사가 직면할 수 있는 흔한 문제이다. 비록 연부조직 종양은 대부분 양성이지만 정형외과 의사는 양성과 악성 종양을 구별할 수 있는 특징을 알고 있어야 한다. 연부조직 종양의 임상적 특징 및 역학을 이해하게 되면 올바른 진단 및 수술적인 치료를 할 수 있게 된다. 종양의 크기와 깊이는 종양의 진단을 위해 가장 중요한 요소이다. 종양의 감별 진단을 하기 위해서 우선적으로 상세한 병력청취와 자세한 신체 검사가 필요하며, 이후 단순 방사선 촬영, 초음파, 자기공명영상(magnetic resonance imaging), 양전자 방출 단층촬영술(positron emission tomography), 컴퓨터 단층촬영(computed tomography), 뼈 스캔, 혈관 조영술 등의 다양한 영상 촬영법을 사용하여 종양을 진단하고 진단된 종양의 특성을 확인하여야 한다. 특히 초음파 검사는 외래에서도 쉽게 수행할 수 있어 유용하다. 그러나 검사자의 숙련도에 따라 검사 정확도의 차이가 발생할 수 있다는 단점이 있다. 종양의 생검을 통한 조직검사는 종양에 대한 모든 영상 검사를 시행한 후 최종적으로 시행하는 것이 원칙이다. 조직 검사를 시행할 때는 세심한 주의를 기울여야 하며, 최종적인 진단 후에는 치료를 위해 다각적인 접근을 시행하여야 하며 필요한 경우에는 경험 있는 근골격계 종양전문의사에게 의뢰하는 것이 필요하다.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate and evaluate risk factors for lymph node metastases (LNM) in cases of endometrial cancer (EC). Materials and Methods: A retrospective single institution analysis of patients surgically staged for EC at Ankara Oncology Education and Research Hospital from 1996 to 2010 was performed. Roles of prognostic factors, such as age, histological type, grade, depth of myometrial invasion, cervical involvement, peritoneal cytology, and tumor size, in the prediction of LNM were evaluated. Fisher's exact test and logistic regression analysis were used to assess the effects of various factors on LNM. Results: LNM was observed in 22 out of 247 patients (8.9%) and was significantly more common in the presence of tumors of higher grade, deep myometrial invasion (DMI), cervical involvement, size >2cm, and with positive peritoneal cytology. Logistic regression analysis revealed that DMI remained the only independent risk factor for LNM. NPV, PPV, sensitivity, and specificity for satisfying LNM risk were 98.0, 19.5, 86.3, and 65.3%, respectively for DMI. Conclusions: The incidence of LNM is influenced independently by DMI. If data support a conclusion of DMI, LND should be seriously considered.

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), which enables visualization of lesions beyond the bronchus, broadens the fields of bronchoscopy. Two types of ultrasound, radial and linear, are used for bronchoscopy. Radial EBUS is performed by inserting an ultrasound mini-probe through the working channel of a flexible bronchoscope. Evaluation of the depth of invasion of early endobronchial lung cancers using radial EBUS is useful in deciding endobronchial treatment. A central tumor limited to within the cartilaginous layer is a good indication for endobronchial photodynamic therapy. EBUS-guide sheath (GS) technique is a sampling method assisted by localization of peripheral lesions using EBUS. The diagnostic yield of EBUS-GS method is higher than that of conventional transbronchial biopsy. High diagnostic values of EBSU-GS method are reported even in small (${\leq}2cm$) peripheral tumors. Linear EBUS is used for endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA). EBUS-TBNA has high diagnostic yields in mediastinal staging of lung cancer even in patients having radiologically early stage lung cancers with normal CT or PET findings in the mediastinum. EBUS is a valuable method in evaluating early endobronchial tumors and peripheral small lung cancers and as well as in mediastinal staging.

유방암은 여성암 가운데 세계에서 가장 빈도가 높으며, 한국에서도 세번째로 많은 것으로 보고하고 있다. 유방암에서 방사선치료는 photon beam를 이용하여 tangential field로 치료하거나 electron beam를 이용하여 치료하는 것이 보편적이다. 치료범위 내부의 밀도와 tumor까지의 깊이는 방사선치료에서 선량분포를 결정하는 중요한 요소들이다. CT planning를 이용하면 이러한 요소들을 정확하게 산출하여 선량과 선량분포를 결정하는데 이용할 수 있다. 저자들이 유방암 환자 65명중 전자선으로 치료를 받은 45명을 분석한 결과 cheast wall의 두께와 internal mammary lyphnode의 깊이가 1.5cm 이하인 경우에는 6MeV의 에너지가 적적함을 보여 주었으며, 1.5cm에서 2.0cm까지는 9MeV의 에너지가, 2.0cm에서 2.5cm까지는 12MeV의 에너지가 적절함을 보였다.

Microcystic adnexal carcinoma is a rare type of tumor, with about 300 cases reported globally. Due to its similar histology with other tumors, it is occasionally misdiagnosed as desmoplastic trichoepithelioma, basal cell carcinoma, syringoma, and so on. We present a patient with a mass on the perioral area who was preoperatively diagnosed with trichoepithelioma. Microcystic adnexal carcinoma was diagnosed after excisional biopsy and a wide excision. Defects were reconstructed with a mucosal advancement flap. There was no recurrence and there were no significant complications during the 18-month follow-up period. Because superficial punch biopsy has limitations in width and depth, surgeons should always consider the possibility of malignancy of a mass even if a biopsy shows a benign result.

The umbilicus is an important aesthetic component of the abdomen; therefore, its absence is both cosmetically and psychologically distressing to the patient. However, loss of the umbilicus during abdominal surgical procedures is often unavoidable. Umbilical reconstruction is aimed at obtaining a natural, three-dimensional appearance. We propose a simple method for immediate umbilical reconstruction with good long-term results. This technique was used successfully on a patient who underwent tumor excision. A 49-year-old woman presented with a large mass, measuring 5.8×4.0 cm, on her umbilicus. The mass, an epidermal cyst, developed after laparoscopic uterine myomectomy 5 years earlier. Complete excision of the mass resulted in a large defect, and immediate umbilical reconstruction was planned. Our procedure involved apposing and anchoring two opposing flaps onto the abdominal wall, so that the umbilicus would retain its depth over a long period of time. Negative-pressure wound therapy was applied for 72 hours as a mild compressive dressing. No complications were encountered. The healing process was uneventful and the aesthetic outcome was pleasing; a natural-appearing navel was created. The patient was satisfied with the end result. This technique provides a permanent and sufficient depression for the umbilicus.

Although radiation and chemotherapy methods for cancer therapy have advanced significantly, surgical resection is still recommended for most cancers. Therefore, intraoperative imaging studies have emerged as a surgical tool for identifying tumor margins. Intraoperative imaging has been examined using conventional imaging devices, such as optical near-infrared probes, gamma probes, and ultrasound devices. However, each modality has its limitations, such as depth penetration and spatial resolution. To overcome these limitations, hybrid imaging modalities and tracer studies are being developed. In a previous study, a multi-modal laparoscope with silicon photo-multiplier (SiPM)-based gamma detection acquired a 1 s interval gamma image. However, improvements in the near-infrared fluorophore (NIRF) signal intensity and gamma image central defects are needed to further evaluate the usefulness of multi-modal systems. In this study, an attempt was made to change the NIRF image acquisition method and the SiPM-based gamma detector to improve the source detection ability and reduce the image acquisition time. The performance of the multi-modal system using a complementary metal oxide semiconductor and modified SiPM gamma detector was evaluated in a phantom test. In future studies, a multi-modal system will be further optimized for pilot preclinical studies.

Background: The mucin components of the gastric gel layer function as a protective and lubricating factor against luminal acid and proteolytic enzymes. Alteration of mucin expression in gastric preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions has suggested potential roles in neoplastic processes. This study aimed to assess the clinicopathological and prognostic significance of MUC-2, MUC-4 and MUC-5AC in Japanese gastric cancer. Methods: Expression of MUC-2, -4 and -5AC was evaluated on tissue microarrays of gastric carcinomas and adjacent non-cancerous mucosa specimens by immunohistochemistry and compared with clinicopathological parameters and survival time of the patients. Results: The three mucins were found to be expressed to a lesser extent in gastric carcinomas in comparison with non-cancerous mucosa (p<0.05). MUC-2 expression was negatively correlated with tumor size, depth of invasion, and TNM staging of gastric cancer (p<0.05), while that of MUC-5AC was negatively associated with the depth of invasion, venous invasion, lymph node metastasis and TNM staging (p<0.05), but positively with MUC-4 and MUC-2 expression (p<0.05). There was higher MUC-2 expression in intestinal- than diffuse-type carcinomas (p<0.05). Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated no relationship between expression of the three mucins and the cumulative survival rate of patients, even stratified according to the depth of invasion (p>0.05). Conclusion: Down-regulated expression of MUC-2, -4 and -5AC may be involved in pathogenesis, invasion, metastasis or differentiation of gastric carcinoma. Their altered expression might therefore be employed as an indicator of pathobiological behavior.
