PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of transpupillary thermotherapy(TTT) for several intraocular tumor. METHODS: The 5 intraocular tumors (2 capillary hemangioma, 1 metastatic tumor, 1 retinal angioma, 1 melanocytoma) were treated with transpupillary thermotherapy. We compared preoperative visual acuity, size, fundus finding, ultrasonogram to postoperative data. RESULTS: The one capillary hemangioma and metastatic tumor were improved in fundus finding. The other tumors were not improved. The visual acuity of patient with metastatic tumor was improved from F.C/30cm to 0.15. CONCLUSIONS: Transpupillary thermotherapy was effective tool for intraocular tumors. We may need the guideline for treatment of intraocular tumor by using transpupillary thermotherapy.

The 44 years old male patient had admitted to our clinic with the marked exophthalmos and blindness in his left eye for more than 10 years. The exophthalmometry revealed 10 mm in right and 25mm in left eye. Before operation ultrasonography (A-scan) and phleboorbitography were performed, and retroorbital mass was suspected. Using Kronlein method, lateral orbitotomy was performed on April 11, 1979 and large well encapsulated tumor mass (3.5 x 3 x 3 cm.) was extracted. By pathological study the tumor was confirmed as a carvenous hemangioma. After first operation he had two subsequent operation for the cosmetic problem.

Cavernous hemangiomas are unusual tumors with a propensity for skin and liver involvement and rarely involving adrenal gland.Adrenal hemangiomas are nonfunctioning tumors, usually discovered at autopsy. In 1955, Johnson and Jeppensen reported the first adrenal hemangioma to be removed surgically.One case of emangioma of the adrenal gland was reported in Korea. We report a case of a cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal gland which was successfully treated surgically.In addition, we review the clinical, radiographic, and pathologic features of this disease. With the advance of diagnostic thchniques in arterography, ultrasound, and computerized tomography, preoperative recognition and diagnosis should be simplified and surgical removal carried out to rule out possible malignancy, preclude traumatic rupture, or relieve symptoms of the mass.

Cavernous hemangioma is the most common benign hepatic tumor. Typically, the most common features revealed by ultrasound(US) include its small size(4cm or less in diameter), uniform hyperechogenicity, welldefined margins, position in the subcapsular region of the right lobe of the liver, and some posterior echo enhancement. In addition, follow-up scanning may reveal changes in size, though this is rare. The US findings of hepatic hemangiomas may vary, however, especially when lesions are large and/or multiple. For that reason, differential diagnosis between this condition and hepatocellular carcinomas, metastatic lesions, lymphomas and other tumors is difficult. An understanding of the various sonographic findings of hepatic hemangioma can facilitate the early detection of the condition.

Vascular tumors of the breast are uncommon and most are angiosarcomas. Breast hemangioma, a rare benign vascular tumor, is usually found as a superficially located mass. We present an unusual case of breast hemangioma located in parenchyma with atypical imaging features.

Vascular tumors in the breast are rare, and most can be classified as being either angiosarcomas or hemangiomas. Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that are usually identified incidentally. Here, we are reporting on a case of a complex hemangioma of the breast, and describing the mammography, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging findings for this patient.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate enhancement patterns, as seen on two-phase spiral CT, of hepatic hemangiomas in which atypical features had been seen on sonography (US) MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two-phase spiral CT scanning was performed in 18 patients in whom 24 atypical hemangiomas had been seen on US. Two-phase images were obtained at 25-45 seconds (arterial dominant phase) and 2-5 minutes (equilibrium phase) after the initiation of a bolus injection of contrast material (150 ml, 5 ml/sec). Enhancement patterns of hemangiomas during each phase were classified as homogeneous high, peripheral high, or low attenuation, and were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: In the arterial dominant phase of spiral CT, low attenuation was seen in nine hemangiomas (38%), globular or spotty peripheral high attenuation in 14 (58%), and homogeneous high attenuation in one (4%). In the equilibrium phase, enhancement patterns were peripheral high attenuation (partial fill-in) in 18 lesions (75%), and homogeneous high attenuation (complete fill-in) in three (12.5%), In the other three (12.5%) enhancement showed no significant change; in one of these, density was slightly less than in the arterial phase, and two showed subtle peripheral high attenuation. Fourteen hemangiomas (58%) showed globular or spotty peripheral high attenuation in the arterial dominant phase and peripheral or homogeneous high attenuation with progressive centripetal enhancement in the equilibrium phase. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that two-phase spiral CT during the arterial dominant and equilibrium phase is useful in differentiating hepatic hemangiomas with atypical features seen on US from malignant hepatic tumors.

Hemangioma is the most common tumor occuring in infancy as a well-circumscribed, strawberry-like mass. Hemangiomas evolve in three phases ; postnatal endothelial proliferation (about 12 months), variable stability, and slow involution(around 18 months to 10 years). In most instances, the diagnosis of common hemangioma can be established on the basis of the history and physical examination. Ultrasound, when combined with color doppler imaging and doppler spectral analysis of vascular channels, can be so much useful to predict the exact nature of tissue content and the characteristics of vascular flow in hemangiomas. This technique has many advantages such as non-invasiveness, relatively low cost, no need for heavy sedation. Doppler ultrasound can reflect the changes in echogenecities and flow patterns according to the respective evolutional phases of hemangiomas. Color doppler ultrasound were performed to 20 infants and children with clinical hemangiomas. We investigated the peak systolic velocity(PSV) and resistive index(RI) of feeder arteries in hemangiomatous lesions. PSVs and RIs showed differences in their mean values between the patients under 1 year old and those older than 1 year old of age. The compression therapy and/or oral steroid therapy were applied to 10 patients, who showed high PSVs and low RIs, on the purpose of reducing in-flow. After at least 6 months' treatment, we noticed the decreased PSVs together with increased RIs in 7 patients showing clinical improvement. Color doppler ultrasound should be one of the optional imaging modalities for various items; assessment of evolutional phases in hemangiomas, decision of treatment modalities and evaluation of treatment effects to hemangiomas.

Although hepatic hemangioma is the most common benign tumor of the liver, it is rarely associated with calcifications. We report on the case of an asymptomatic 58-year-old man in whom multiple hepatic masses containing calcifications were discovered incidentally at ultrasonography. The radiologic features mimicked those of multiple hepatic metastases.
