Extraskeletal Neoplasm Resembling Ewings Sarcoma was firstly reported with comprehensive review of 39 cases by L. Angervall and F.M. Enzinger in 1975. The tumors chiefly affected young adults and most commonly involved the soft tissue of lower extremity. Microscopically, they were consisted of solidly packed small, round or ovoid cells arranged in sheets or lobules, which were indistinguishable from those of the Ewings sarcoma of bone. The authors recently experienced a soft tissue sarcoma occurring in deltoid area of young male patient, which was diagnosed extraskeletal neoplasm resembling Ewings sarcoma. The case review is presented.

The injury of the epiphysis or epiphyseal plate produces undesirable effects on the normal growth of the bone, such as bone bridge, growth arrest and angular deformity. Authors performed vascularized fibular epiphysis and epiphyseal plate transplantation in 7 years old girl, who received the excision of the exostosis on distal ulna, followed by progressive varus deformity of right forearm and growth arrest of distal ulna.

In the treatment of elderly hip fracture, early mobilization as a means of reducing early postoperative morbiyt and morbidity is mandatory. Even though Ender nailing have many advantages, most serious problems with use of Ender nailing method are distal migration of nails, subsequent loss of fixation and limited knee joint motion. To prevent these difficult problems, we have used distal wiring technique with Ender nailing since 1988. In operation, we performed Ender nailing as usual manner under image intensifier and for the prevention of the nail migration, we performed circumferential wiring through the each Ender nail eye and above the adducter tubercle of the distal femur. Forty six cases were available with minimum follow-up of six months which were healed radiologically and clinically (Mean follow up: 21 months). The mean age was 74 years (Range: 52 years-88 years)and showed 26 cases of famale and 20 cases of male. The radiological morphometry using Singh index showed poor bone quality: 36 cases were below Grade III and the fracture type was classified by Tronzo criteria. In results, patients who had Ender nailing with distal wiring showed no distal migration, however one case of proximal migration was observed at the beginning stage of this technique. So, in elderly trochanteric fracture, to reduce the complication of the Ender nailing, especially nail migration, the authors recommend the Ender Nailing with distal wiring technique.

PURPOSE: Three-dimensional(3D) magnetic resonance(MR) projection imaging was evaluated as a noninvasive alternative to direct cholangiography for the assessment of its reliability in patients with obsructive jaundice. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A heavily T2-weighted gradient-echo sequence(PSIF) was used for 3D MR projecion imaging of the biliary system in five healthy volunteers and 25 patients with obstructive jaundice. The 3D images of the bile ducts were formed by stacking consecutive coronal MR images obtained with a fast imaging method to a maximum-intensity projection algorithm. RESULTS: In the volunteers, MR cholangiography could demonstrate the anatomy of the biliary tract in only two subjects. The extrahepatic and intraheparic bile ducts were well visualized in 23 patients with obstructive jaundice. The leve of obstruction and the grade of dilatation were dipicted with MR cholangiography in all cases. And the cause of obstruction could be determined with MR cholangiography in 18 cases, MR cholangiography was successful in two patients in whom ERCP failed. The gallbladder or dilated pancreatic duct not demonstrated by means of direct cholangiography was demonstrated with MR cholangiography in six cases.
