Supernumerary nipples or polythelia are developmental abnormalities located along the embryonic mammary lines. It occurs sporadically but familial aggregation was been reported. Polythelia has been reported in association with congenital malformations, in particular with renal anomalies. We report a case of polythelia.

Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection(CAEBV) is a nonfamilial syndrome that shows a specific immunodeficiency for the Epstein-Barr virus(EBV). CAEBV is characterized by fever, lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, hepatitis, interstitial pneumonitis, interstitial nephritis, and uveitis. Cardiovascular complications are rare in EBV infection. Patients with CAEBV show characteristically high titers of anti-viral capsid antigen(VCA) IgG antibody and anti-early antigen(EA) antibody, as well as relatively low titer of anti-EB nuclear antigen(EBNA) antibody. We experienced a case of CAEBV with giant coronary aneurysms, who was a 6-year-old boy. He had 5 episodes of high fever and cervical lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly. The 6 mm sized bilateral coronary aneurysms were detected by echocardiography at second admission. IgG antibodies to EBV was positive, whereas negative for IgM antibody. Antibodies to EA and EBNA were also positive. The EBV was detected in lymph node tissue by in situ hybridization, and in the peripheral blood and bone marrow by the PCR. Treatment has been done with ganciclovir and interferon (IFN)-alpa for 5 weeks. The EBV-PCR of peripheral blood was converted to negative from 12th day of treatment. At present he has followed well for two years without fever and enlargements of lymphnode, except large coronary aneurysm.

Odontogenic keratocysts are benign intraosseous tumors of odontogenic origin that occur most commonly in the jaw. In particular, they have a predilection for the angle and ascending ramus of the mandible. In contrast, odontogenic keratocysts arising in the maxillary sinus are relatively rare. Two such cases are reported herein. In addition, the English literature that concerns odontogenic keratocysts of the maxillary sinus is reviewed.

PURPOSE: Tuberculosis of the thyroid gland is very rare and some cases were reported in Korea since 1968. We experienced a case of tuberculous thyroiditis and found a old case in our medical center. This report is about the two case and the review of all cases reported about tuberculosis of the thyroid gland in Korea. METHODS: We present the case of a 55-year-old woman with thyroid tuberculosis who has been treated with antituberculous medication because of tuberculous meningitis during 6 months. We performed thyroid isthmectomy and she is now taking the antituberculous drugs. We found a case of 40- year-old woman who underwent extended thyroid lobectomy, Lt. in 1985 at our medical center. We reviewed the 18 literatures with 29 cases of tuberculosis of the thyroid gland reported in Korea and analyzed total 31 cases (reported 29 cases and our 2 cases). RESULTS: 28 patients were women and only 2 patients were over 60 years old. 26 patients had complained the neck mass. Duration of symptoms were below 6 months in 18 cases. There were associated symptoms like as weight loss, easy fatigue or generalized weakness, dysphagia, palpitation, fever, chills and/or anorexia. Only 9 patients had underlying tuberculosis - 2 meningitis, 2 pneumonia, 3 lymphadenopathy and 2 pneumonia combined with meningitis. But 3 patients were newly diagnosed as old or active pulmonary tuberculosis at the time of diagnosis of thyroid tuberculosis. Thyroid function was normal in 9 cases and abnormal in 5 cases. 3 cases were diagnosed nonoperatively and 15 patients of surgically treated 28 cases were underwent lobectomy. AFB stain was positive in only 13 cases and 2 cases were positive of culture with negative AFB stain. All of cases were diagnosed by pathology as granulomatous tuberculosis with caseous necrosis. CONCLUSION: Either surgical resection plus antituberculous medications or only medications are effective and recurrences were not reported after any initial treatments. So preoperative evaluation is very important and will guide the patient and the surgeon to the most effective management.
