Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy(SHML) is a benign, generally selflimited pseudolymphomatous disease that typically appears with cervical massive lymphaclenopathy. Extranodal involvement including skin occurs in the 28% of the cases. We report a case af SHML in 51 year-old male who had several, prominent firm masses ranging from 1-10cm in the cervical, axillary, inguinal areas and multiple, plum colored nodules and plaques in the face, trunk for about 10 years. The histopathological findings of cervical lymph node, facial nodule showed dense heavy infiltration of large histiocytes with abundant pale eosinophilic cytoplasm in the subcapsular and medullary sinuses of lymph node and dermis of skin. No atypical cells suggesting malignancy is seen in the infiltrates. The patient had been treated with combination of prednisolone and vinblasstine, but he expired 1 month later.

Castleman disease is a relatively rare disease of differential diagnostic interest in patients with lymphadenophathy. The etiology and pathogenesis of the Castleman disease are still not elucidated and the MRI findings of disease has not yet been reported. Two patients with Castleman disease studied by MRI are presented: one case presented with a localized anterior mediastinal mass and the other case, with a neck mass. The lesions were characterized by relatively high signal intensities on both T1 and T2 weighted images in both cases, and significant degree of enhancement was seen in the cervical Castleman disease.

The authors describe the case of a 57-year-old female who developed subrachnoid hemorrhage secondary to rupture of posteriorly projecting, high placed aneurysm of the proximal posterior cerebral artry. This aneurysm was treated easily and successfully with the zygomatic temporopolar approach which was modification of the temporopolar approach proposed by Sano by detaching the zygomatic arch to get a wide and flexible operating field.

Limb-Body Wall complex is a complicated with the essential features of neural-tube defects, body-wall disruption, and limb abnormalities. This complex should be distinguished from other body-wall defects including omphalocele and gastroschisis since the prognosis for limb-body wall is uniformly poor. We have experienced one case of limb-body wall complex in a 22-year-old primigravida, which is presented with a brief review of the literature.

Although hypoglycemia may be common among neonates, brain injuries resulting from isolated neonatal hypoglycemia are rare. The condition may cause neurological symptoms such as stupor, jitteriness, and seizures, though in their absence, diagnosis is delayed or difficult. Hypoglycemia was diagnosed in a three-day-old neonate after he visited the emergency department with loose stool, poor oral intake, and decreased activity, first experienced two days earlier. Two days after his visity, several episodes of seizure occurred. T2 and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) scanning, performed at 11 days of age, revealed bilateral and symmetrical high signal intensity lesions in occipital, parietal, and temporal lobes. We report the MR findings of hypoglycemic encephalopathy in a neonate.

BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is known to cause of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC). HPV positive SqCCs overexpress p16 and are associated with better survival. Several markers of cell cycles and apoptosis have been reported as a prognostic value. We examined the prognostic value of HPV status, p16, cyclin D1, and Bcl-2 in patients with tonsillar SqCC. METHODS: Tissue microarrays were constructed in 56 cases of tonsillar SqCC for which we performed an immunohistochemistry and an in situ hybridization (ISH) of the HPV. RESULTS: Of the 56 cases, 31 (55.3%) were positive for p16 and 20 (35.7%) were positive for HPV ISH. The expressions of p16, cyclin D1, and Bcl-2 were not correlated with the clinicopathologic variables including smoking status, differentiation and pT- and pN-stages. The HPV ISH positive group showed a better overall survival than the HPV negative group (p=0.04), and the p16 positive group showed a better disease free survival (DFS) than the negative group (p=0.016). Cox regression analysis showed that only p16 positivity was an independent prognostic factor for DFS (p=0.03; hazard ratio, 10.1). CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that both p16 expression and HPV status are useful indicators for risk stratification in patients with tonsillar SqCC.

PURPOSE: To compare the usefulness of double-dose contrast-enhanced CT (DDCE-CT) and conventional contrast-enhanced CT (CCE-CT) in the detection of metastatic brain lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixteen patients with brain metastases were evaluated with both CCE-CT and thinslice DDCE-CT. For CCE-CT, an initial injection of 100 ml contrast medium was given, and DDCE-CT with both 10-mm and 5-mm thickness was performed after the addition of an extra 100 ml of contrast medium. The numbers of metastatic lesions detected by CCE-CT and by DDCE-CT were compared, as were the findings of contrast-enhanced MRI (CE-MRI) and thin-slice DDCE-CT in seven patients who underwent both these procedures. RESULTS: Fourteen metastatic brain lesions were detected by CCE-CT, 22 by 10-mm-thickness DDCE-CT, and 36 by 5-mm thickness DDCE-CT. Thus, almost 2.6 times more lesions were detected by thin-slice DDCE-CT than by CCE-CT. Metastatic lesions were detected by 10-mm-thickness DDCE-CT in 16 patients and by CCECT in seven; in five, edema only was detected, while in four there were no detectable metastases. CCE-CT detected four lesions of less than 5 mm in diameter, while 10-mm-thickness DDCE-CT and 5-mm-thickness DDCE-CT detected seven and 18 lesions, respectively. Eleven lesions were detected by thin-slice DDCE-CT and 17 by CE-MRI in the seven patients who underwent both CE-MRI and DDCE-CT. The lesions detected only by CE-MRI were less than 5 mm in diameter and were discovered in the cerebellum or inferior temporal lobe. CONCLUSION: Thin-slice DDCE-CT was superior to CCE-CT in detecting metastatic brain lesions.

Nonimmune hydrops fetals is defined as generalized edema of the fetal soft tissue in utero and may be associated with effusion in the serous cavities without hematologic evidence of isoimmunization. The most common demonstrable causes are cardiac anomalies, followed by chromosomal disorders, congenital malformations, alpha-thalassemia, and the twin-twin transfu-sion syndrome. We have experienced a case of nonimmune hydrops fetalis in identical twin which caused by congenital mitral valve insufficiency and disappeared spontaneously at 35 wks. Now we report a case of nonimmune hydrops fetalis that slowly and spontaneously imp-roved without interventions with a brief review of related literatures.
