Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma may present with a variety of radiographic and clinical appearances. The authors reviewed the radiographs of 17 patients with pathologically proven bronchioloalveolar carcinoma, retrospectively. Seven cases were of the localized form. Among the seven five showed a localized mass and two showed localized consolidation. Ten cases were of the diffuse form. Among the ten, three showed diffuse nodules, two showed diffuse consolidation, and five showed a combined pattern of nodules and consolidations. Progression of disease was observed in 9 patients. In these cases, localized forms progressed to a diffuse forms and nodular patterns progressed to a consolidation pattern. Seven cases of the diffuse form were given antituberculous medications on hospital admission. In summary, bronchioloalveolar carcinoma has varied radiographic patterns, and often mimicks other pulmonary diseases such as pulmonary tuberculosis.

A case of situs inversus totalis was observed in the cadaver of a 35 year old Korean female and the anatomical structures were investigated. The fact that she had received intestinal resection due to tuberculosis of intestines was confirmed. The results are summarized as follows : 1. All thoracic and abdominal viscera were completely transposed and in the left lower quadrant of abdomen, it was observed that the distal portion of the small intestine, cecum, appendix and part of the ascending colon had been resected. 2. Classic mirror-image dextrocardia with patent foramen ovale (large diameter, 7mm), sinusitis in the left maxillary sinus, bilateral thoracic duct, variation of the opennig site of the common bile duct and the main pancreatic duct, and maldvelopment of the left adrenal gland were observed together with the sinus inversus totalis.

Gastric cancer is the most common gastrointestinal malignancy in Korea. Identification and evaluation ofgastric mass lesions and regional-distant metastases by abdominal CT scan are important for the treatment planningand prognostic implications of gastric cancer patients. Author reviewed CT scan are important for the treatemntplaning and prognostic implications of gastric cancer patients. Author reviewed CT scan of 61 cases of pathologyproven gastric cancer, retrospectively, for recent 20 months from July 1983 to Feb. 1985 at department ofradiology, Korea University, Hae Wha Hospital. The results were as follows: 1. There were 50 cases of advanced adenocarcinoma, 8 cases of early gastric cancer, 2 cases of leiomyosarcoma, and 1 case of lymphoma in total 61cases. 2. The sex ratio of male to female was 2:1. Age distribution was from 24 to 75 year old and peak incidencewas in 6th decade. 3. The most frequent site of involvement with gastric cancer was gastric antrum in 51%. 4. 48of the 50 patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma(96%) had a wall thickness greater than 1 cm, and all of 8cases of early gastric cancer had a wall thickness less than 1 cm. Regional lymph node tumor infiltration wasfound in 100% of gastric wall thickness greater than 2.0cm, in 64% of cases of 1.5 to 2.0cm, in 50% of cases of1.9 to 1.5cm, and 12.5% of cases of less than 1.0cm. 5. In a comparison of enlargement of reginal lymph node by CTscan to tumor infiltration of regional lymph node by histology, senitivity was 52%, specificity was 87%, and reliability was 66%. 6. The structures involved by distant metastases of these cases were the retroperitoneallymph node in 15, liver in 8, and pancrease in 3. 7. The diagnostic accuracy of CT staging was considered about68% by correlation of the surgical and histological findings. 8. The CT scan is one of the accurate and simpletool for evaluation of size, shape, extent, as well as distant metastases in the cases of gastric malignancies.

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is the most frequent malignant neoplasm among women in the Orient. This cancer is also increasing in Korea due to westernization of the living pattern, increased recognition among the general population, and improved methods for early detection. In the surgical treatment of breast cancer, cosmetic conservation of the breast has drawn the patients' attention so that conservative surgery is increasing nowadays. The purpose of this study is to describe the current status of breast cancer management at our institution and to identify the survival and the recurrence rates according to the stage and the surgical method used. METHODS: We reviewed the medical records of 150 patients diagnosed as having breast cancer on pathologic examination at the Department of General Surgery, EulJi College of Medicine, from January 1991 to December 1996 and evaluated the clinical findings, the diagnostic method, operation, and the prognosis. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 49.1 years, and 34.0% of the patients was in the fifth decade. A palpable mass in the breast was the most frequent clinical symptom and sign (80.7%). The interval between symptom onset and diagnosis was about 6 months in 76.0% of patients. The size of the mass was 2~5 cm in 51.3% of the patients. A modified radical mastectomy was the most frequently employed surgical method (74.0%), but conservative surgery has increased lately. Seventy-ight patients (52.0%) were in stage II. The five-ear survival rates for stages I, II, III were 100%, 82.9%, and 55.0% (p=0.00006). The five-ear survival rates for 0, 1~3, 4~9, and more than 10 axillary-ode metastases were 85.9%, 55.3%, 53.6%, and 21.1%, respectively (p=0.0007). The five-ear survival rates for breast-conserving surgery and a modified radical mastectomy, for both stage of I and II, were 90.9% and 89.3% (p=0.8114), respectively, and the recurrence rates were 17.9% and 23.8% (p=0.88). CONCLUSIONS: The authors may conclude that breast-onserving surgery may offer an effective alternative to a modified radical mastectomy for patients with stage I & II breast cancer.
