An 11-year-old male Rex rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) had a rectal prolapse induced by a polypoid mass. The mass was highly vascularized with a cauliflower-like appearance. Anorectal papilloma was suspected, and fine needle aspiration cytology showed eosinophilic inflammation. After surgical removal of the polyp, postoperative care was given, such as systemic antibiotics and analgesics. In the re-examination, the rabbit was resolved, and there were no complications. Histopathological examination of the removed polyp indicated chronic eosinophilic proctitis to be the cause of the inflammatory condition of the protruding rectal polyp.

Sarcomatoid carcinomas are biphasic tumors which have surface epithelial changes and an underlying spindle-shaped neoplastic proliferation. A 62-year-old male with hoarseness came to our hospital for evaluation. A single smooth polypoid lesion was detected on his right true vocal fold by larnygoscope. The patient was diagnosed with vocal polyp and treated with surgical excision. Pathology report of the excised specimen was compatible with sarcomatoid carcinoma. Therefore, further surgical resection was performed to secure safety margins. We report a case of a sarcomatoid carcinoma patient who was clinically diagnosed as vocal polyp.

Background and Objectives : A voice therapy can be used the basic method for the voice improvement of patients with the voice disorders. However, according to each voice disorders, various results of treatments have been reported. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical features of the patients who did not improved after the voice therapy and to explore factors that could affect the results of the voice therapy. Material and Method : There are patients (n=49) diagnosed as the vocal nodule and patients (n=13) diagnosed as the vocal polyp. They received the voice therapy more than 6 times from September, 2000 to August, 2001. Clinical features, stroboscopic findings, esophagographic findings and PNS x-ray findings were compared between the improved and the nonimproved groups. Results : Before the voice therapy, PNS x-ray found two of all patients had the paranasal sinusitis. 14 of the vocal nodule patients (28.6%) and 8 of the vocal polyp (61.5%) had GERD in the esophagogram. However, the recovery rate after the voice therapy had no significant difference in both the vocal nodule and vocal polyp with GERD. In patients with the vocal nodule, 47 of 49 (95.9%) improved after the voice therapy. 6 of them were found the clearly decreased lesion in the stroboscopy. But, in patients with the vocal polyp, 7 of 13 (53.8%) improved after the voice therapy and did not have improvement through the stroboscopy. Conclusion : If the treatment of GERD is given with the voice therapy after the evaluation of GERD, it is helpful to increase the effects of the voice therapy. And, if patients were improved partially or unimproved after voice therapy, it was important to evaluate all factors-motivation, compliance and cooperation-related with patients will. Through this, some factors might be minimized except diseases differences.

A patient complaining of chronic dull pain in the right maxillary area showed slight haziness and small ovoid radiopacity in the right antrum, which was not extended into the choanal area in radiographic views. At operation, lots of mucoid fluid admixed myxoid soft tissues was discharged and the polypoid mucosal tissues were removed. In histological examination, the removed tissues showed a polyp by the overgrowth of dermal connective tissues exhibiting severe myxoid degeneration. Throughout the entire specimen, the inflammatory reaction was diffuse but not so remarkable to produce the mucosal thickening and necrosis. The polypoid tissues were diffusely infiltrated with neutrophiles and plasma cells, but few eosinophils, resulted in the extensive myxoid degeneration together with severe vascular degeneration. Therefore, we suggest that the antral polyp is basically different in its pathogenesis and prognosis from the common maxillary sinusitis of odontogenic origin, thus the antral polyp should be carefully diagnosed when the inflamed antral lesion is recurred and diffusely degenerative with myxoid changes.

Background and Objectives : Vocal polyps and nodules are representative chronic benign laryngeal disease. Treatment options for vocal polyp and nodule in general include voice therapy or laryngeal microsurgery. The purpose of this study was to analyze voice results before and after laryngeal microsurgery. Materials and Method: Vocal polyp and vocal nodule patients were treated by laryngeal microsurgery from March 2004 to December 2006 at Kosin University Hospital. All were women. Voice analysis studies were done before and after laryngeal microsurgery. Five measurements were performed: MPT, Fo, jitter, shimmer and NHR. Results: There was significant improvement in the vocal polyp patients regarding MPT, jitter, shimmer and NHR. Also there was significant improvement in the vocal nodule patients regarding MPT, jitter and shimmer. Conclusion: MPT, jitter, shimmer and NHR will be effective acoustic parameters in documenting the quantitative changes in the vocal polyp patients. MPT, jitter and shimmer will be effective acoustic parameters in documenting the quantitative changes in the vocal nodule patients before and after laryngeal microsurgery.

인구 고령화에 따른 암에 대한 관심 증가로 건강 검진을 받는 수검자가 늘고 있으며, 담낭용종의 유병률과 체질량 지수, 성별, 나이, 대사증후군 등의 위험인자에 대한 몇몇 연구가 있으나 본 연구는 최근 3년간의 담낭용종의 유병률과 대장용종 유무, 지방간 등의 다른 위험인자를 알아보고자 하였다. 2011년 1월에서 2013년 12월까지 대구지역 종합검진전문병원에서 건강검진을 받은 4,877명을 대상으로 성별과 나이를 조사하고, 키, 몸무게, 공복혈당, 간기능 및 기본 지질검사를 하였다. 복부초음파검사를 통해 담낭용종을 진단하고 지방간, 대장 내시경 결과 용종의 유무를 분석하였다. 분석결과 담낭용종이 발견된 경우는 383명(7.9%)으로 남자 256명(9.8%), 여자 127명(5.6%)으로 남자에서 담낭용종 유병률이 의미 있게 높았다(p<0.001). 연령별 담낭용종 유병률은 40대에서 3.50%로 가장 높게 나타났고 유의하게 나타나지 않았다. 담낭용종 크기는 평균 4.92 mm (1.6-17 mm)로 10 mm 이하가 73.6% 나타났다. 383명 중 261명(68.2%)이 단발성 용종, 122명(31.28%)이 2개 이상의 다발성 용종으로 타나났다. 남성 (OR 0.551, p<0.001), 과체중 (OR 0 .713, p=0.002), 중성지방 (OR 0 .571, p<0.001), 대사증후군 (OR 0 .049, p=0.033), 대장 용종 유무 양성 (OR 1.409, p=0.002)등이 담낭용종 발생에 영향을 미치는 독립인자로 선정되었다. HBsAg 양성은 담낭용종 발생에 관련 있는 위험인자가 아니었다. 결론적으로 본 연구는 담낭용종이 유병률은 과거보다 높은 7.9%로 나타났다. 남성, 과체중, 중성지방, 대사증후군, 대장용종이 담낭용종의 위험인자였다. 향후 건강검진 수검자 대상뿐만 아니라 일반국민을 대상으로 추가적인 검사가 필요하다고 사료되고, 담낭 절제술을 받아서 조직학적으로 확인된 경우를 조사 할 필요가 있겠다.
