A Case of multifocal reticulum cell sarcoma in a 61 year old male is reported. The patient had multiple foci of sarcomatous lesion in the olecranon of the right ulna, medial candyle of the left tibia and in both ankle joints. His initial complaints on admission were pain and swelling in his both ankles and the right elbow of three months duration. Biopsy was carried out on his right ankle joint and diagnosis of reticulum cell sarcoma was made. Surgical excision of the right olecranon and below Knee amputation of the right lower extremity were performed. Following the surgical intervention, Cobalt 60 irradiation therapy was given for 20 days with total amount of 4,000 rads. The follow-up study three months after surgery revealed much improvement and no evidence of recurrence.

A clinical study was performed on 27 patients with myasthenia gravis diagnosed at the Department of Ophthalmology, St. Mary's Hospital, Catholic University Medical College from January 1986 to December 1989, including electromyography, chest CT scan and thyroid function test. The results were as follow: 1. The patients were classified as group I;14 patients(51.9%), most common, group II(A);8 patients(29.6%) and group II(B);5 patients(18.5%) based on the modified Osserman's classification. 2. Ocular symptoms were ptosis in 25 patients(92.6%), diplopia in 10 patients(34. 4%), limitation of ocular movement in 4 patients(14.8%). Systemic symptoms were dysphagia and weakness of extremeties in 6 patients(22.2%) and general weakness in 5 patients(18. 5%). 3. In EMG study, among the 27 patients, 17 patients(63%) revealed positive response. Positive rate according to clinical classification was 50%(7 of 14 patients) in group 1,62.5%(5 of 8 patients) in group II(A) and 100%(all 5 patients) in group II(B). The more severe the symptoms, the more positive were the findings. 4. The associated thymic disorders were thymoma in 4 patients(14. 8%), thymic hyperplasia in 2 patients(6.9%) and malignant thymoma in 1 patient(6.9%).
