2.Injury of the Genitourinary Tract, Sung Won Kwon. M.D. and Dong Han Kim. M.D..
Korean Journal of Urology 1968;9(4):181-188
Ninety-one cases of genitourinary tract injuries which were admitted to Severance Hospital during the period from Jan. 1960 to Aug. 1968 were analyzed clinically and statistically. And it was investigated compared with previous papers 1) The rate of genitourinary injuries accounted for 7.3 per cent to the total admission patients during eight years sixty-nine per cent of all injuries were in men and thirty-one per cent in women. The age distribution was much the same as that found in previous literature. Most favorable age was in from 20 to50 years for 72.5 percent 2) The meet common involvement site was in urethra for32.9 per cent while external genitalia showing most common site in war wound Also iatrogenic ureteral injuries was relatively high in spite of most less commonest incidence in previous paper 3) Thirty-six per cent of all injuries weredue to traffic or vehicular accident and twenty-four per cent 'due to iatrogenic. Majority of these iatrogenic injuries occurred in pelvic operation. Falls kick and blow were listed not less frequently. 4) On observation of kidney injuries. predisposed hydronephrotic kidney was injured more frequently due to mild external forces and three cases of sixteen kidney injuries had hydronephrosis dueto stone and congenital ureteral stricture in this series 5) An incidence of ureteral injury during radical hysterectomy was variable in literature. but it was noted around 10 percent generally. In reviewing 197 cases of radical hysterectomy for carcinoma of cervix, incidence of ureteral injuries was 12 cases(7.3 per cent) and it was listed 9.3 percent including bladder injuries. 6) In investigating bladder injuries, 53 percent of injuries were associated with pelvic bone fracture And 87 per cent was extraperitoneal type and 13 per cent wasin intraperitoneal rupture. 7) Also majority of urethral injuries were associatedwith pelvic bone fracture especially in car accident cases and then involved posterior urethra for 85 per cent. And bulbous urethra was injured by straddle injury for 70 per cent.

Korean Journal of Pathology 1988;22(3):340-347
A case of desmoplastic fibroma of mandible in a 18 years old woman is presented. She had complained progressive swelling of right mandible for 4 years. Radiographically, a multilocular radiolucent of right hemimandibulectomy showed multinodular external surface without cortical destruction. Cut surfaces revealed grayish white, fibrous homogeneous appearance with firm consistency, sparing head portion. The maximum diameter of the tumor was 13 cm. Microscopically, the tumor was composed of interlacing bundles of monomorphic spindle-shaped cells with abundant intercellular collagen. Ultrastructurally, most tumor cells were fibroblastic-like cells with abundant RER and cytoplasmic fibrils, but a few disclosed transition to myofibroblasts. However, no fully developed myofibroblasts were seen.

5.Malignant Mixed Mesodermal Tumors of Ovary: 3 cases report.

Malignant mixed mesodermal tumor (MMMT) of the ovary is endometrioid tumor containing epithelial and mesenchymal components. The mesenchymal component may be homologous, in which case the term carcinosarcoma is often used, or heterologous, containing cartilage, striated muscle, osteoid, bone, or fat, or combination of these elements. MMMT usually afflicts the postmenopausal woman and occurs more often in the nulliparous female. The disease is usually advanced (stage III) when diagnosed. Cliniopathologic data were presented for 3 cases of MMMT of the ovary with review of literatures. Clinical history substantiated previous reports in postmenopausal women wit this tumor. Symptoms were the same as for ovarian malignancy in general. All the patients presented wit stage II disease, according to the International Federation fo Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) classification. Two patients died of tumor 4 and 10 months after operation, respectively. One patient had been alive at 2 months after operation. None of 3 cases demonstrate evidence of endometriosis in the remaining ovaries. Microscopically, periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-positive, diastase-resistant hyaline droplets were found frequently in undifferentiated mesenchymal stroma and epithelial structures. The clinical significance and origin of the hyaline droplets in MMMT should be further explored.

Extrapyramidal tract motor disorder in calcification of basal ganglia probably occurs when the deposition of acid mucopolysaccharides in the basal ganglia is severe enough to lead to neuronal loss. Basal ganglia calcification has been noted to occur with higher incidence and intensity in encephalitis lethargica, carbon monocide intoxication, anoxia, tuberous sclerosis, toxoplasmosis, hypothyroidism and hypoparathyroidism. The neurologic disorder is frequently reversible with treatment in patients with basal ganglia calcification who have hypoparathy-roidism. We report a patient with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism associated with bilateral calcification of the basal ganglia and athetoid movement. This is the first case report in Korea.

5-Fluorouracil is one of the most commonly used anticancer drug. We report a case of leukoencephalopathy who had received 5-fluorouracil injection following operation of carcinoid tumor in intestine. The case had dementia, dysarthria and gait disturbance. Brain CT showed bilaterally symmetric diffuse low densities in the white matter of cerebrum and cytologic examination of cerebrospinal fluid was negative for malignancy. Discontinuation of 5- fluorouracil injection for several days and then improved the clinical symptoms.

Acute scrotum is any pathologic condition of the scrotum or intrascrotal contents that requires emergency medical or surgical management. Management of each disease entity is different, but the differential diagnosis is very difficult. So many testes had been lost due to delay of the adequate surgery and unnecessary explorations had been taken under the misdiagnosis. Clinical observations were carried out on 59 patients with acute scrotum admitted to the department of urology, Ewha Womans University Hospital during 10 years from April, 1976 to March, 1986. There were 36 patients with acute epididymitis, 6 spermatic cord torsion and 17 scrotal trauma, the mean age was 32.6 year old in acute epididymitis, 12.8 spermatic cord torsion and 23.5 scrotal trauma. Symptoms and signs showed no significant difference from each disease entity, but Prehn`s sign was somewhat useful to differentiate each one. In half patients with spermatic cord torsion that had arrived to the hospital within 24 hours from onset of symptom, the testes could be saved. Testicular scan with 99mTc-perte- chnetate was performed in 14 patients and the diagnostic accuracy was 93%, 21 patients with acute epididymitis had urinary tract infection and spermatic cord torsion occurred in 2 patients with cryptorchidism.
