A 16-year-old male presented with pain in the right posterior mandible on chewing that had lasted for several months. The radiographic features of the lesion included a radiolucent-radiopaque mixed-density mass with a radiolucent rim attached to the root of the mandibular right first molar. The preliminary radiographic diagnosis was benign cementoblastoma, which was confirmed by histopathological examination following surgical excision. The lesion recurred 3 years after treatment; radiographically, it consisted of 3 round foci with mixed radiopacity, each with a radiolucent rim near the root of the mandibular right second premolar and the edentulous postoperative region. The lesion was diagnosed as recurrent benign cementoblastoma and a second surgery was scheduled. This report presented an unusual case of recurrent benign cementoblastoma following surgical excision and extraction of the involved tooth, along with a literature review on reported cases of recurrent benign cementoblastoma with a focus on its clinical features and the best treatment options.

목적: 양성 골종양 제거후 발생한 골결손을 골 대체물의 하나인 calcium sulfate를 이용하여 치료하고 그 결과를 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 2000년 12월부터 2001년 11월까지 18명, 18례의 양성 골종양 환자에 대하여 calcuim sulfate(Osteoset$^{(R)}$:Wright Medical Co. USA)를 골 대체물로 이용하여 치료하였다. 남자 11명, 여자 7명이었으며 평균 연령은 28.4세였다. 모든 예에 대해 골결손 부위를 steoset$^{(R)}$을 이용하여 치료하였고, 자가골과 함께 사용한 경우가 6례, 동종골과 함께 사용한 경우가 2례, Osteoset$^{(R)}$ 단독으로 사용한 경우가 10례이었다. 추시기간은 최단 8개월에서 최장 19개월로 평균 12.3개월이었다. 주기적인 추시에서 관찰된 단순 방사선 사진에서 Osteoset$^{(R)}$의 흡수 정도와 골 생성 정도를 술 후 사진과 비교하여 백분율로 표시하여 관찰하였다. 결과: 술 후 3개월에 92 %의 흡수율을 관찰할 수 있었고, 술 후 6개월에는 89%의 골 생성을 관찰할 수 있었다. Osteoset 단독으로 사용한 경우나 자가골 또는 이종골을 같이 사용한 경우에서 흡수율이나 골 생성에 유의한 차이는 없었으며, 술 전 진단이나 병변 부위에 따른 차이도 발견할 수 없었다. 최종 추시시 특이한 합병증은 없었다. 결론: Calcium sulfate는 생체 적합성이 뛰어나고, 큰 골결손 부위에도 사용할 수 있으며 쉽게 사용 가능하고 골전도 작용이 있는 등의 장점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 양성 종양의 제거시 발생한 골결손의 치료제로, 특히 자가골 이식이 어려운 소아에서 유용하게 사용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Nodular thyroid disease is a common clinical problem. The problem in clinical practice is to distinguish malignant or potentially malignant tumor from harmless nodules. The cases of thyroid nodule surgically managed at Department of General Surgery, Soon Chun Hyang Univ. Hospital during the period Jan. 1985 to July. 1992 were reviewed retrospectively. To assess method of distinguishing malignant from benign lesions of the thyroid gland, we reviewed 162 patients with thyroid nodule. There were 61(37.7%) malignant nodules and 101(62.3%) benign nodules. According to the review, distinguishing the benign from the malignant nodule with history, physical examination, clinical manifestation, and duration of illness was not suggested sufficiently. In ultrasonogram of 73 cases, 57.5% of nodules were solid, 20.6% were cystic, 21.9% were mixed solid and cystic. Of these, 28.5% of the operated solid lesions, 12.5% of the mixed lesions, and only 6.7% of the cystic lesions were malignant. Thyroid scanning of 82 cases revealed cold nodules in 60 patients(73.2%), of which 26 cases were malignant(36.6%) 137 patients underwent fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC), and these results were as follow: sensitiviey was 70.6%, specificity was 93.0%, false-positive rate was 14.3%, and false-negative rate was 15.8%. 41 patients underwent frozen biopsy, and the results as follow: sensitivity was 80.0%, specificity was 89.7%. Neither scintigraphy nor ultrasonogram has sufficient specificity to distinguish benign from malignant nodule. But FNAC and frozen biopsy have sufficient accuracy to differentiate benign from malignant nodule. In the benign nodules, the most common type of operation was total lobectomy (60.4%). Of the malignant nodules, total thyroidectomy with or without modified radical neck dissection was performed in 30 cases(49.2%). We conclude that the single technique used to determine the differential diagnosis of a thyroid nodule are unrealiable. It is therefore essential to combine all avaiable clinical and laboratory information.

In this study, the authors analyzed the prognostic value of four clinical variables[age and sex of patients, association with myasthenia gravis and clinical stage] and histological type in 30 consecutive patients with thymoma, histologically classified as cortical[10],medullary[5] and mixed[15]type according to Marino and Muller-Hermelink classification. There were significant differences between the histological types in the frequency of the different tumor stages and myasthenia gravis and prognosis.Most of the cortical thymomas were at stage III and all of the medullary and most of the mixed tumors at stage I or II.Myasthenia gravis occurred more commonly in patients with cortical[30%] and mixed thymoma[60%] than in patients with medullary thymoma[10%]. Follow-up was conducted in 30 patients,with follow-up range from 3 months to 120 months[mean,47.3months]. 5 year actuarial survival was 100% for medullary thymoma, 73% for mixed thymoma, and 47% for cortical thymoma.The overall survival curve shows that 87.6% of the patients are alive at 2 years and 72.8% at 5 years. And 7 patients was dead during follow-up periods.By Kaplan-Meier technique, we found that the patients who had myasthenia gravis had better prognosis[P<0.05]. Medullary thymoma is a comparatively rare, benign tumor, and usually not associated with myasthenia gravis. Cortical thymoma must be regarded as malignant. Mixed thymoma is intermediate in its behavior between medullary and cortical thymoma. But these tumors should be considered potentially malignant despite of presence as stage I of II disease. Also, the patients with stageI,II had good prognosis and the patients with total resection had good prognosis[P<0.05].

Common radiographic appearances of ossifying fibroma (OF) are well demarcated margin, radiolucent or mixed lesion. Lesions for the radiographic differential diagnosis with OF include fibrous dysplasia, focal cemento-osseous dysplasia. Other confusing lesions might be the mixed lesions such as calcifying odontogenic cyst, adenomatoid odontogenic tumor, calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor, and benign cementoblastoma. We reported three cases of OF in posterior mandible. These cases showed a little distinguished radiographic features of OF and diagnosed from a combination of clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic information. We need to further refine radiographic and histopathological features of OF and other confusing lesions with literatures review because some cases of these lesions are not easily differentiated radiographically and histopathologically.

Cerebellar pilocytic astrocytomas (PAs) are benign gliomas predominantly found in the pediatric population. Intracranial hemorrhages are extremely rare in initial presentations of cerebellar PAs. There are no reports in the medical literature of adult cerebellar PA cases presenting with intratumoral hemorrhage. We report 2 cases of adult cerebellar pilocytic astrocytomas with intratumoral hemorrhage. The first case is a 37-year-old woman presenting with severe headache, nausea, and vomitting. Computed tomography demonstrated an acute hemorrhage adjacent to the right cerebellar hemisphere and hydrocephalus. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a cerebellar vermian tumor with the hemorrhage as a mixed isoin-tense area in the T2-weighted image, and as a mixed hyperintense area in the contrast-enhanced T1-weighted image. The second case is a 53-year-old man presenting with headache for 3 weeks. MRI revealed a cerebellar hemispheric tumor with the hemorrhage as a mixed hyperintense area. It had a cystic mass with a heterogeneous enhanced mural nodule in the gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted image and a fluid-fluid level within the cyst in the T2-weighted image. Both of them underwent radical resections of their respective lesions. Histological examination of the specimens revealed typical astrocytoma, including a hemorrhagic portion. Both patients recovered postoperatively and continue to do well at present. The medical literature on hemorrhagic cerebellar PAs is also reviewed.

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is a rare benign mixed odontogenic tumor with histologic characteristics of ameloblastic fibroma and complex odontoma. As with ameloblastic fibroma, it may be asymptomatic or found because of painless swelling and delayed eruption of associated tooth. This report presents a case of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma in the posterior mandible of a 14-year-old girl and analyses its clinical features and radiographic features on plain X-ray film and CT images.

Central granular cell odontogenic tumor(CGCOT) is a very rare lesion that consists of densely packed granular cells with numerous scattered strands of odontogenic epithelium interspersed throughout the tissue. CGCOT was initially reported in 1962 by Cough et al as central granular cell ameloblastic fibroma. But, recently, this term is inappropriate because of histologic and chronologic differences. CGCOT is usually present as painless swellings. Radiographs show a well-demarcated radiolucent or mixed radiopaque-radiolucent lesion. The average age on presentation of CGCOT is 47.3 and women are 75% more likely to develop this lesion than men. The tumor only occur in tooth bearing areas of the jaw with 88% of cases occurring in the mandible and 12% involving the maxilla, usually in an equal distribution between the caninepremolar-molar areas. This tumor is benign, and care is effected by localized surgical excision. We report an additional case of CGCOT that occurred in the Rt. Maxillar premolar/molar region of a 32-year old man with literature review.

Mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver is a rare benign tumor, usually presenting in early childhood, Five children with mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver pathologically verified at Seoul National University Children's Hospital between 1978 and 2000 were analyzed retrospectively. There were two girls and three boys, and their mean age at the operation was 16.0months (range, 4-32 months). Three patients presented with abdominal distension. A patient was detected incidentally, and another was detected by prenatal ultrasongraphic examination. Tumor size ranged from $10{\times}8.5cm$ to $34{\times}29cm$. Three tumors were located in the right lobe and two in the left lobe. Four cases underwent complete surgical resection, and the other one underwent incomplete surgical resection and marsupialization. Recurrence or malignant transformation was not noted. Five patients survived without evidence of disease for 35, 36, 38, 142 and 228 months. In conclusion, although mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver is benign lesion. it may be confused. and mixed with embryonal sarcoma. A recent report showed recurrence or malignant transformation after partial excision of the tumor. Therefore. complete excision of the tumor with surrounding normal liver tissue is recommended.

피부와 유선 종양은 개에서 매우 빈번히 발생하는 종양으로, 종양 발생의 위험은 나이가 증가함에 따라 종양의 발생률은 증가하며, 발병률과 발병부위의 분포는 종양의 종류마다 다르다. 피부와 유선종양의 발생은 공기오염, 식생활 등 환경의 변화와도 관련이 있어 이들 종양들의 발생양상은 그 사회의 환경을 반영할 수 있어 시대와 지역에 따라 다양하게 다르게 나타날 수 있다. 따라서, 그 동안의 많은 보고들에도 불구하고, 피부와 유선종양발생에 대한 자료들은 종양에 대한 수의임상학적 진단과 치료를 위한 중요한 정보를 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 2005년 1월 1일부터 2006년 12월 31일까지 수의과학검역원과 강원대학교에 의뢰된 128증례의 개 피부종양과 240증례의 개 유선종양을 Goldschmidt와 Misdorp의 형태학적 기준에 의해 조직병리학적으로 진단하여, 종별, 성별 및 부위별로 각각 분류하여 국내에서 이들 종양의 발생양상을 체계적으로 분석하였다. 피부종양에서는 피부상피세포종양, 샘종양 및 간질종양이 각각 14.1%, 41.4%와 44.5%였다. Cutaneous histiocytoma가 피부종양에서 가장 빈번하게 관찰되어 전체 피부종양의 25.0%를 차지하였으며, 기름샘종 (sebaceous gland adenoma; 15.6%), 기저세포종(basal cell tumor; 8.6%), 항문둘레샘종 (perianal gland adenoma; 6.3%)와 지방종 (lipoma; 6.3%)순으로 높았다. 그 외에 비만세포종, 모낭세포종과 중층편평상피암 등이 관찰되었다. 이러한 피부종양들은 품종, 성과 나이 또는 부위에 따라 유사하거나 다른 양상을 나타내었다. 유선종양의 경우 양성과 악성이 201/240, 39/240으로 양성발생률이 현저히 높았으며, 양성혼합종 (benign mixed tumor)이 검사한 품종 모두에서 가장 높은 발생률 (35.0%)을 나타내었다. Complex adenoma는 Maltese와 Poodle에서 특히 높았으며, 악성종양에서는 simple carcinoma와 complex carcinoma가 각각 6.7%로, 악성 중 41.0%를 차지하여 가장 높은 발생률을 나타내었다. 본 연구결과는 최근 우리나라에서 여러 품종의 반려견에서 발생한 피부와 유선종양의 발생양상을 조직병리학적으로 진단 분석한 것으로, 임상수의사들이 지속적으로 증가추세에 있는 개의 피부와 유선종양을 진단하고 치료하는데 유용하게 활용될 수 있기를 기대한다.
