Summary
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), or Churg-Strauss Syndrome (CSS) is a rare
granulomatous necrotizing vasculitic disease characterized by the presence of asthma, sinusitis, and
hypereosinophilia. We describe a patient who was initially diagnosed with tuberculous lymphadenitis
and later diagnosed with EGPA.

Choledocho-duodenal fistula is a rare condition. It is usually developed as a complication of the gallstone disease, and rarely developed by penetrating peptic ulcer, trauma and neoplasm. Tuberculosis as a etiology of choledocho-duodenal fistula is very rare, and only a few cases were reported. We experienced a case of choledocho-duodenal fistula due to tuberculous lymphadenitis in a 26 year-old man presented with epigastric pain. After 6 months of anti-tuberculous medication, He was free of symptom and the fistula was closed spontaneously. We report the case with a review of literatures.

Computed tomographic findings of 24 cases of cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis were retrospectively analyzed. We classified the CT findings as 4 types: type 1(homogeneous soft tissue density mass), type 2(central low density with peripheral rim enhancement and with preservation of surrounding fat plane), type 3(central low density with peripheral rim enhancement and with obliteration of surrounding fat plane), type 4(large confluent low density mass, so called "cold abscess") As a result, there were 2 cases(8.3%) of type 1, 7 cases(29.2%) of type 2, 9 cases(37.5%) of type 3, 3 cases(12.5%) of type 4, 1 cases(4.2%) of type 1 combined with type 3, and 2 cases(8.3%) of type 2 combined with type 4. So 22 cases(91.7%) revealed central low density and peripheral rim enhancement, which suggest necrosis. The maximum thickness of enhancing rim was above 2mm in all of 64 definable necrotic lymph nodes and above 4mm in 42(65.5%) lymph nodes, suggesting that the wall of necrotic tuberculous lymphadenitis tends to be thick. We conclude that CT is useful not only for the diagnosis but also for the evaluation of the extent and the status of cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis.

PURPOSE: To characterize the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features of cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The cervical MR images of 14 patients with pathologically or clinically proven cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis were retrospectively analyzed. T1- and T2-weighted or proton density images and contrast enhanced MR images were obtained in all patients. RESULTS: Most patient had multiple (n=12), unilateral lesions (n=l0), 8 mm to 45 mm in size, round (n=46) or ovoid (n=46) in shape and all with smooth and well-defined margins mostly at internal jugular chain(N2: 41, N3: 2, N4: 21 ). The signal intensities of the most lymph nodes were isointense or slightly hyperintense on T1 -weighted images, and hyperintense (all) with variable homogeneity on T2-weighted and/or proton density images. After contrast enhancement most showed characteristic thin peripheral rim enhancement (n=71). CONCLUSION: The characteristic MR features of cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis would be multiple, unilateral enlarged lymph nodes which show iso or slightly increased signal intensity on T1 -weighted image, high signal intensity on T2-weighted and/or proton density image and peripheral rim enhancement.

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to investigate the epidemiologic characteristics of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) in Korea. In addition, the results of culture-confirmed (CC) EPTB were compared with those of clinically-diagnosed (CD) EPTB. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed non-duplicate data of tuberculosis from the Samsung Medical Center from 1995 to 2010. A total of 6,249 and 38,726 cases of tuberculosis were CC and CD EPTB cases, respectively. The cases were categorized according to the type of specimen or by the clinically-affected sites. RESULTS: The proportions of EPTB among all tuberculosis cases were 12% (745/6,249) and 22% (8,608/38,726) of the CC and CD cases, respectively. The distribution of both age and gender between pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and EPTB cases were significantly different (P<0.001). The most common types of EPTB were tuberculous lymphadenitis, pleural TB, and abdominal TB. Pleural involvement was more common in males, while lymph node involvement was observed more frequently in females in both the CC and CD cases (M/F ratio in regards to pleura were 1.63 and 2.08, while M/F ratio in regards to the lymph node were 0.46 and 0.54). CONCLUSION: The dataset of EPTB cases in Korea was first evaluated over a 16-year period and compared the cases of CC EPTB to those of CD EPTB. The epidemiologic characteristics of EPTB were different from that of PTB as well as the EPTB of other countries. The present study might provide useful information regarding the epidemiology of EPTB in Korea and other countries.

BACKGROUND: Cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis(CTL) is one of the most common extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. Recently overall incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis has decreased, but the incidence of tuberculous lymphadenitis has not decreased. Its duration of treatment is still controversial and the pathogenesis, prognosis and relationship with other site tuberculous are poorly published. So we did a retrograde study of 120 cases of confirmed CTL about its clinical manifestations. METHODS: All patients were applied fine needle aspiration(FNA) of palpable enlarged cervical lymph nodes and 114 patients were examined for AFB smear and 34 patients for TB culture with aspirated fluid. 57 patients were examined Mantoux test(5TU with PPD-S). With above methods, a total of 120 patients was diagnosed as having CTL RESULTS: 1) CTL is most prevalent in young women between the age of 20 30 years and the incidence of CTL in female is 2.5 times higher than that of male. It is located most commonly in the posterior cervical area. The most common presenting symptom is painless palpable enlarged cervical lymph nodes. 2) With FNA of enlarged cervical lymph nodes, the percentage of histopathological positivity is 82.3%. The percentage of AFB smear positivity is 38.6%, and that of TB culture positivity is 17.6% (p<0.001). 3) Pulmonary tuberculosis is noted in 79 cases(65.8%). And 42 cases(53.5%) of them had minimal pulmonary tuberculosis. In 14 cases(11.7%),other extrapulmonary tuberculosis coexsisted and pleural tuberculosis was most common in the order. 4) CTL was treated with anti-tuberculous medication(first line drug) and median treatment duration was 18.5months. During treatment, the size of involved lymph nodes decreased gradually in 62 cases(75.8%), newly developed lymph nodes were found in 25 cases(30.4%),fluctuation formation in 22 cases(26.8%) and fistula formation in 14 cases(17.0%). CONCLUISON: CTL is prevalent in women between the age of 20 ~ 40 years and it involves posterior cervical area most commonly. CTL is treated with long-term anti-tuberculous chemotherapy. We think it is one manifestation of systemic disease and frequently coexisting with pulmonary tuberculosis. Despite anti-tuberculous chemotherapy, the size of involved lymph nodes was increased, new lymph nodes were developed or fluctuation and fistula formed in involved lymph nodes. After sufficient medication, when the patient felt pressure discomfort from enlarged lymph node or fistula was formed, we recommended total excision of involved lymph nodes.
