We experienced two cases of Gaucher's disease of adult type in brother aged four years and two years. The patients showed hepatosplenomegaly with anemia and thrombocytopenia. Typical Gaucher cells were found in bone marrow and biopsy specimens of liver and spleen through light and electron microscopic examination. Splenectomy was followed by improvement of anemia and thrombocytopenia. A brief review of literature was made.

Takayasu's arteritis is a chronic, granulomatous, large-vessel arteriopathy of unknown cause. A 45-year-old women developed multiple subcutaneous nodules preceded by fever, chills, weakness and weight loss. There were several developed pyoderma gangrenosum-like ulcerations which resulted from the breakdown of subcutaneous nodules on both forearms. A skin biopsy specimen from a forearm nodule revealed characteristics of polyarteritis nodosa including necrosis of the muscular arteries of the deep dermis and subcutaneous tissues destruction of the elastic lamella, thrombus formation, and an acute and chronic inflammatory cell infiltrates. Seven years later, the diagnosis of Takayasu's arteritis was suggested by the absence of the left radial pulse and confirmed by angiography.

We report computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) findings of a patient with polyostotic Paget disease and multicentric giant cell tumor (GCT). Brain CT scan showed widening of diploic space, cortical thickening and enhancing soft tissue mass in occiput with underlying calvarial destruction. Ill-defined soft tissue masses were also detected in maxillary sinus and buttock with underlying bony destruction on CT. MR image showed multifocal nodules in wide diploic space with low signal intensity on T1 -weighted image and bright signal intensity on T2-weighted image. Mass in occiput showed homogeneous hypointensity to bone marrow on T1-weighted image and homogeneous iso- intensity on T2-weighted image. Multiple nodules in diploic space and occipital mass showed contrast enhancement following administration of Gd-DTPA. Biopsy was performed at scal p, maxillary sinus and buttock, and histologic analysis revealed GCT.

Ureterocele, cystic dilatation of the lower end of the ureter, is not a common urogenital disease and occuring more frequently in female than in male. One case of bilateral ureterocele, combined with bladder stone and papillary, cystic, glandular metaplasia, was presented with a brief review of the literature.
