A clinical observation was made on 35 patients who were admitted to the Department of Orthopedic Sugery, Busan National University Hospital, 29 of whom had undergone operation from January 1979 to December 1983. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The peak incidence of age ranged from 51 to 60 years, which comprised 16 cases (45.7%) 2. The type of theDisease'were 15 cases with degenerative spinal stenosis, which comprised highest incidence, 11 cases with combined spinal stenosis, 6 cases with spondylolisthesis, 2 cases with idiopathic spinal stenosis and 1 case with iatrogenic spinal stenosis. 3. The duration of symptom before admisson ranged from 3 months to 20 years. Duration over 3 years comprised 54.3% of highest incidence. 4. The most common symptom on admission was pain in low back and leg, which comprised 31 cases (88.6%) and 4 cases had no specific neurologic deficit. 5. Myelogram was performed in 30 cases, C.T. scan in 7 cases and the most common myelographic finding was bilateral single level hour glass defect in 8 cases (26.7%). 6. Decompressive surgerys were done on 30 cases and post-operative results obtained were as follows: excellent in 11 cases (36.7%), good in 13 cases (43.3%), fair in 4 cases (13.3%) and poor in 2 cases (6.7%).

Sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis is a benign ossifying diathetic disorder characterized by hyperostosis and soft tissue ossification of the clavicles, anterior portion of the first ribs, and manubrium, with variable hyperostosis or ankylosis in the spine and sacroiliac joints. A review of the literature and our own case describes the clinical findings and its characteristic features in RI, CT, and plain film.

Sclerosing hemangiomas are rare benign neoplasms in pulmonary parenchyme, We analyzed CT findings of two cases of sclerosing hemangiomas of the lung in two adult females. Chest radiograph showed well-circumscuribed, round soft tissue mass with calcification in right lower lobe of one patient and without calcification and moderate or marked contrast enhancement was clearly demonstrated with CT scan. CT findings of contratst enhancement and contour of calcification allow differentiation of sclerosing hemangioma from other venign neoplasms or postinflammotory pseudotusrs of the lung.
