The aneurysmal bone cyst is a nonmalignant reactive bone lesion. Developing rarely in the craniofacial region, and more commonly affecting the long bones and the spine, the lesion has variable etiopathogenic characteristics. The authors diagnosed a 33-year-old female as aneurysmal bone cyst after undergoing clinical, radiological and histological examinations. The characteristics were as followed: 1. The patient complained of pain and swelling of the right preauricular area. 2. The conventional radiograms showed a relatively well defined radiolucent lesion with partially scalloping margin. The cortical bone of the right condyle was thinned and expanded by the lesion. 3. Bone scintigraphy with ~c demonstrated ring-like or doughnut-pattern accumulation of radioactivity. 4. On Tl-weighted imaging of MRI, the lesion on the right condyle had middle signal intensity. T2-weighted MRI demonstrated multiple high signal intensities seperated by septa which had low signal intensity. Finger in balloon appearance was seen. 5. Histologically, the lesion was composed of large sinusoidal blood spaces lined by fibroblasts and histiocytes. Its fibrous stroma consisted of fibroblstic element, multinucleated giant cells, extravasated erythrocytes and focal hemosiderin pigmentation. New bone formation was also observed around larger sinusoidal spaces.

폐에 발생한 거세포암종은 대세포암의 일종의 변형으로 현미경상 전체세포중 10% 이상의 거대한 다형, 다핵의 거세포종으로 구성되어 있으며, 중성구가 종양세포내로 들어가는 세포내행동(Emperipolesis)이 특징적인 소견이다. 국소재발과 초기전이를 잘 일으키는 고도의 악성종양으로 예후는 불량하나, 수술후 보조화학요법과 방사선요법에 의해 생존률을 높일 수 있다는 보고들이 있다. 2달간의 객혈을 주소로 내원한 46세의 남자환자가 단순 흉부 X선 검사와 전산화 단층촬영상 우상엽 첨부에 5 cm크기의 종괴가 발견되었고, 수술을 위한 검사도중 관상동맥조영술상 좌전하행지에 협착소견이 보여 경피적 경혈관혈관확장술을 시행하였다. 4주후 우상엽 절제술을 시행후 병리조직상 거세포암종으로 확인되어, 보조화학요법과 방사선요법을 받았다.

Bovine tuberculosis is an important zoonosis worldwide. Mycobacterium bovis, the causative agent of this disease in cattle, is also a pathogen for humans and several economically important animals. The cases of tuberculosis are reported in two cow found at slaughter house located in Gwangju city. Histopathologically, in the lymph nodes, granulomas consisted of large areas of necrosis surrounded by variable thick bands of cellular infiltrate containing macrophages, Langhans-type multinucleated giant cells and lymphocytes. Lesions in the lung followed the same developmental pattern as did lesions in the lymph nodes with some exceptions. With the acid-fast staining, numerous mycobacteria were revealed in the lung and lymph nodes. M bovis was confirmed as a causative agent in these cattle using bacterial isolation and PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism method based on a unique 12.7 kb fragment insertion sequence from the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome and the pncA polymorphism, The insertion element IS6110 and IS1081 were present M bovis isolated from lungs and lymph nodes of cattle using PCR assay. These cases are interesting and important in public health aspect that M bovis-infected cattle were found during a routine post-mortem inspection at slaughter house.

A 2-year-old, 12.5 kg, castrated male, mixed-breed dog was presented with a 1-year history of pruritus and progressive alopecia. On physical examination, no remarkable findings were detected including body condition score (5/9). A dermatological examination of the dog revealed generalized erythema, papules or plaques, especially on the face, auricle, dorsum, and shoulder. A fine-needle aspiration of the dorsum and face lesions revealed various numbers of macrophages with foamy cytoplasm and multinucleated giant cells. A bacterial culture test showed the growth of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius. A complete blood cell count was unremarkable and biochemical abnormalities included hyperglobulinemia (4.8 g/dL, reference interval 2.5-4.5 g/dL), mild hypertriglyceridemia (277 mg/dL, reference interval 10-100 mg/dL) and mild hypercholesterolemia (383 mg/dL, reference interval 110-320 mg/dL). Additional diagnostic tests were performed to identify the underlying cause of hyperlipidemia. Canine pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity (<50 ng/mL, reference interval 0-200 ng/mL) and total T4 (1.4 ㎍/dL, reference interval 1.1-5.6 ㎍/dL) were within the reference intervals. For a definitive diagnosis, skin biopsy specimen was collected from the papular lesions on the dorsum by using a 4 mm biopsy punch. A histopathological examination revealed numerous large macrophages with abundant foamy cytoplasm in the dermis. The foamy macrophages were located diffusely between the collagen fibers. Extracellular amorphous lipid deposits were also presented in the dermal tissue. A definitive diagnosis of cutaneous xanthoma was made based on clinical signs and cytological and histopathological results.

유치 치근 흡수가 일어나는 경우는 임상에서 많이 접할 수 있다. 유치 치근 흡수는 나이에 따른 생리적 흡수와 치아우식증 및 외상 등으로 비정상적으로 흡수되는 염증성 흡수로 나눌 수 있다. 염증성 흡수는 그 시기와 양상이 생리적인 치근 흡수와는 다르며, 흡수기전이나 흡수면의 미세구조에 있어서도 많은 차이가 있을 것으로 사료된다. 유치 치근 흡수면의 미세구조에 대한 연구는 많이 있었으나, 생리적 흡수면과 염증성 흡수면의 미세구조를 비교한 연구는 드물다. 본 연구는 생리적 흡수면과 염증성 흡수면의 형태 및 인접한 세포를 연구하기 위하여 생리적 및 염증성 흡수로 인해 발거된 유치 치근의 흡수 표면을 주사전자현미경상으로, 조직학적 형태를 광학현미경상으로 관찰하여 다음과 같은 차이점을 알 수 있었다. 1. 주사전자현미경상에서 생리적 유치 치근 흡수 표면은 타원형, 원형 및 다각형 모양의 흡수소와가 관찰되었고, 염증성 흡수 표면은 크기가 작으며 형태가 다양하고 매우 불규칙한 무정형 형태의 흡수소와가 관찰되었다. 2. 광학현미경상에서 생리적 유치 치근 흡수면은 흡수소와로 구성된 규칙적인 큰 흡수와가 관찰되었고, 염증성 흡수면은 불규칙한 흡수소와가 관찰되었다. 3. 광학현미경상에서 생리적 유치 치근 흡수면에는 다핵거대세포가 흡수소와에 직접 접하고 있었으며, 염증성 흡수면은 간엽세포 및 염증세포가 많이 관찰되었다. 4. 광학현미경상에서 염증성 치근 흡수면에서는 상아질 흡수를 보상하는 부분적인 백악질 형성이 관찰되었다.

Purpose: Central giant cell granuloma is a rare, benign giant cell tumor which commonly develops in areas near the teeth. It accounts for approximately less than 7% of benign tumors of the mandible. Clinically, central giant cell granuloma is classifed into aggressive and non-aggressive type, and usually requires surgical treatment. There has been no report of central giant cell granuloma in plastic surgery field of the country, and we report a case with a brief review of the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Methods: A 23-year-old male presented with a hard, non-tender, growing mass with the size of $4.0{\times}3.0\;cm$ on mandible for several months. Computed tomography scan showed a solid mass within thinned outer cortex on mandible. The thinned outer cortex was excised with the mass and the inner cortex was partially removed burring. After the tumor removal, mandible was fixed by reconstruction plate. Results: Pathologic report showed numerous large multinucleated giant cells, diffusely distributed in a background of ovoid-to-spindle-shaped mononuclear cells. There was no evidence of recurrence after 1 year follow up. Bony defect was regenerated and we removed the reconstruction plate. Conclusion: Removal of central giant cell granuloma results in defect of outer cortex, which can be reconstructed by using reconstruction plate, autologous bone graft or bone cement. We used reconstruction plate as a conservative method to induce secondary healing of the outer cortical defect area, which resulted in normal mastication and occlusion with no recurrence.
