Adenoid basal cell tumor of the prostate is a rare tumorous lesion that can be misdiagnosed as adenocarcinoma of the prostate. The malignant potential of adenoid basal cell tumor remains uncertain due to small number of reported cases. This 66-year-old man presented with symptoms of urinary tract obstruction. Under the impression of benign prostatic hyperplasia, a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) was performed. The patient was alive with no evidence of recurrence or metastasis 15 months after TURP. Microscopically, most of the lesions were composed of nodular collections of small nests of basaloid cells with peripheral palisading, and clusters of tumor cells forming cribriform pattern. Multiple areas of basal cell hyperplasia and atypical basal cell hyperpalsia were also observed. The coexistence of basal cell hyperplasia, atypical basal cell hyperpalsia, and adenoid basal cell tumor with cribriform pattern in this case supports a morphologic continuum from the benign hyperplastic lesion to malignant neoplasia.

One hundred and fifty two open wounds of extremities including open fractures were treated at the Kyoungpook Nstional Univ. Hospital from March 1977 to August 1977. Of 152 open wounds there were 32 cases (21.5%) of wound infection even though the initial wound culture revealed bacterial growth in 44 cases(28.9%). However, there were only 10 cases of infection among the cases with positive bacterial growth in the original culture and the same organisms were found in the 6 cases between the initial wound culture and post infection culture. Sensitivity studies of the organisms, the Cephalosqorines appeared to be most effective as a prophylactic antibiotics. It was sensitive to all gram positive organisms and majority of gram negative organisms including Escherichia coli. In bacterial culture and sensitivity studies of the 82 open fracture wounds 18 of them showed gram positive and gramnegative bacteria. The prominant organism were Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus and Pseudomonas. The infection rate was lower in the cases whar the wound was managed within six hours from the time of injury than after six hours.

Gas producing infection accompanied by evidence of subcutaneous gas usually are diagnosed as clostridial gas gangrene. The occurrence of nonclostridial gas producing infection is thought to be relatively rare. Two cases of nonclostridial gas producing infection simulating clostridial gas gangrene in diabetes occurred. Gram stains of pus at the time of admission can isolate the E-coli and streptococcus, and can distinguish these two entities. Chief conplaints were swelling, pain and tenderness of right lower extremity by infection. Multiple incisions to free the tissues of gas and pus and the administration of antibiotics are the treatment of choice.

Korean Journal of Infectious Diseases 1999;31(5):410-419
BACKGROUND: Detection of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) expression is difficult in ordinary clinical laboratories. The Etest has been introduced into clinical settings for the rapid identification of ESBL. The principle behind the Etest is to compare the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ceftazidime alone with the MIC of ceftazidime with clavulanic acid. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the Etest for the detection of ESBL in Korea, where antimicrobial resistance rates are high. METHODS: The double disk synergy test and the Etest were performed simultaneously. The results of the clinical isolates were compared to those of strains producing TEM-1, TEM-2, and SHV-1 as negative controls. The results of the double disk synergy test and the E-test were confirmed by isoelectric focusing of beta-lactamase extracted from suspicious ESBL-producing strains. RESULTS: MIC determination using the standard agar dilution method according to the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards revealed that a total of 48 strains were resistant or intermediate against one or more antibiotics of the third generation cephalosporins. These strains included five strains of E. coli, 14 of S. marcescens, seven of K. pneumoniae, 18 of Enterobacter spp., and four of Citrobacter spp. Sixteen (33%) of the strains, including five strains of E. coli, three of S. marcescens, five of K. pneumoniae, and three of Enterobacter spp. were ESBL- producing strains that were confirmed by double disk synergy test. Thirteen (81%) of the strains of ESBL- producing organisms were detected by Etest, but the remaining three strains (19%) were undetectable by Etest alone. CONCLUSION: The accuracy of Etest for the detection of ESBL was not high, but the efficiency of Etest as the primary screening method of a large number of clinical isolates was appreciable regarding efficiency and rapidity.

The Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, which included congenital anomalies such as macroglossia, exomphalos, postnatal somatic gigantism, have a substantially increased risk for the development of tumor. We report a case of testicular yolk sac tumor associated with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, a previously unreported association. Pathologic examination showed Schiller-Duval body with evidence of testicular yolk sac tumor. This finding appears to represent a previously unreported association between Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and testicular yolk sac tumor.

A ganglion cyst is a tumor-like lesion that contains mucous or myxoid material in the fibrous capsule. We report a case of ganglion cyst located in the lumbar anterior epidural space and causing lumbar radiculopathy. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed the cyst as a cystic lesion with wall en-hancement. Myelography showed that it was not filled with contrast medium and not connected with the dura, nerve root, or facet joint.

PURPOSE: If significantly influenced by chronic otomastoiditis(COM), mastoid pneumatization and the position of the sigmoid sinus affect the operative procedure and postoperative complications in middle ear surgery. We evaluated mastoid pneumatization and sigmoid sinus position, and their relationship in COM, especially its during onset. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using temporal bone CT and referring to any relevant medical records, we retrospect+tively analyzed 107 cases of COM and 49 cases of normal ear. The total case load comprised an adult group, aged above 16 years [100 cases of COM (M:F=46:54, mean age = 45 years), and 42 cases of normal ear,(M:F=20:22, mean age = 44 years)], and a childhood group, aged less than 16 years [7 cases of COM (M:F=4:3, mean age = 8.4 years), and 7 cases of normal ear (M:F=4:3, mean age = 7 years)]. We determined the thickness of the mastoid bone by measuring the shortest distance between the outer cortex of this bone and the deepest border of the sigmoid sinus; the depth of the sigmoid sinus; and the degree of mastoid pneumatization and sclerosis. Fifty-three patients whose medical history clearly included the onset of otomas-toiditis were divided into a child-onset group and an adult-onset group, and the relationship between the onset of otomastoiditis and the thickness of the mastoid bone was compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The mean axial thickness of the mastoid bone was 9.672 <+/-2.745 mm in COM and 12.430 +/-3.027 mm in normal ear. The difference was statisfically significant (p < 0.0001). The mean depth of the sigmoid sinus was 7.557 +/-1.868 mm in COM and 7.591 +/-2.315 mm in normal ear, with no statistically significant difference. In the childhood group, the mean axial thickness of the mastoid bone was 8.672 +/-2.978 mm in COM and 11.778 +/-3.087 mm in normal ear. This difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). In the adult group, the corresponding figures were 9.742 +/-2.731 mm in COM and 12.538 +/-3.041 mm in normal ear, a dif-ference which was also statistically significant (p < 0.0001). Among patients with an obvious history of COM, child-onset cases totalled 24 (mean axial thickness of the mastoid bone, 9.2.0 +/-2.158 mm), while there were 29 adult-onset cases (mean axial thickness, 10.08 +/-2.99 mm). This difference in thickness between child-onset and adult-onset COM was statistically significant (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: In COM, the degree of mastoid pneumatization is proportional to the axial thickness of the mastoid bone, and inversely proportional to the degree of sclerosis, anterior location of the sigmoid sinus and the onset of COM. If the sigmoid sinus is properly located, COM may inhibit mastoid pneumatization.
