Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare neoplasm of young adults and it is characterized by polyphenotypic differentiation. We experienced a case of abdominal DSRCT that occurred in a 19-year-old female who presented with painful swelling of her right forearm. The tumor was cytokeratin-negative and it exhibited some tumor cells with intranuclear inclusions. Molecular demonstration of EWS-WT1 fusion transcripts is particularly useful to confirm the diagnosis of DSRCT without epithelial differentiation. We report here on a case of cytokeratin-negative DSRCT that showed an unusual feature of intranuclear inclusions.

Itching is a rare symptom in neurological disease. Paroxysmal symptom is uncommon in neuromyelitis
optica (NMO) or multiple sclerosis. We describe a 45-year-old woman who presented with paroxysmal
pruritus in association with relapse of NMO on two separate occasions. Cervical MRI showed a
lesion at a level corresponding to the dermatomal site of the itching. Paroxysmal pruritus could be
a predictive symptom of relapse in NMO unless there are other comorbid causes such as systemic
diseases, allergy, drug reaction, or emotional stress responsible for the itching.

Nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma is a distinctive mixed mesenchymal lesion of sinonasal region with a complex histologic appearance and benign clinical course and clinicopathologically similar to those of the mesenchymal hamartoma of the chest wall of infancy. We report a case of nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma occurred in the right nasal cavity in a 3-month-old female. She was admitted with a history of profuse nasal bleeding and obstruction. CT revealed complex solid and cystic mass, measuring 3.5x2.5x2.5 cm in dimensions which filled the right nasal cavity and extended into ethmoid sinus and cribriform plate. The received piecemeal fragments of tissue were brown tan-colored firm semitranslucent tissue with a cartilaginous appearance. Microscopically, the basic morphologic elements were irregular islands of hyaline cartilage and myxoid to spindle cell stroma with various cellularity.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions and use of premium snacks (PS) in school aged children. In addition, the influence of their mothers attitude toward the PS use on the children's PS eating behavior was examined. METHODS: 337 boys and 292 girls and their mothers (n=535) were participated in this study. Participants were recruited from two elementary schools located in Kyung-ki area. Information on general characteristics, the frequencies of general snack eating and associated factors, and the frequencies of PS eating and associated factors were obtained by a self-administered questionnaire. RESULTS: The mean frequency of PS eating were 1.12 times/wk in boys and 0.98 times/wk in girls. The PS eating frequency was positively associated with the frequency of eating general snacks in boys and the money spent on purchasing general snacks in girls. The main reasons for eating PS were 'health' followed by 'taste'. The frequencies of general snack eating and those of PS use in mothers were highly associated with the frequencies of eating PS in children. Further, the perceptions on PS in mothers were significantly correlated with the frequencies of PS eating both in boys and in girls, although correlation coefficients were somewhat weak. CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that mother's snack eating behavior and perceptions can affect their children's PS uses. Our findings suggest that the education toward the mother's eating behavior and nutrition knowledge are important in improving child's eating behavior including reasonable and healthy snack choices.

PURPOSE: In order to assess the incidence and radiologic findings of herniation pit of the femur neck in Korean. IVlaterials and Methods:In 152 macerated femurs of 88 cadavers, and randomly selected 115 hips of 70 patients, the presence of herniation pit was determi ned by using fluoroscopy and radiography. It was then examined by CT for inspection of overlying surface and its opening was confirmed by inserting thin steal wire under the fluoroscopic guidance. RESULTS: Seventeen herniation pits in 15 macerated femurs of 13 cadavers were noted. (14.8%, 13/88). Two of 13 individuals showed bilaterality. All lesions were found only in males. Six herniation pit in 6 femurs of 6 patients (8.6%, 6/70) were also noted. All lesions were on anterosuperior aspect of. femur neck. Plain radiographs of macerated femurs revealed well marginated and thin sclerosis in 15 lesions. Of all 23 lesions, CTshowed cortical breakdown in 3, and overlying cortical thickening in 8. In 15 macerated femurs, roughed area of cortex was found in anterosuperior aspect of femur in all cases, and tiny openings(diameter less than 1 mm) related to cystic lesions were confirmed in 9 lesions. CONCLUSION: The incidence of herniation pits was 14.8% in 88 cadaver, and 8.6% in 70 patients. All were males.

Electron microscopy (EM) can provide a valuable contribution to light microscopy (LM) in the interpretation of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) specimen, especially in the diagnosis of the tumor. However, considerable care in processing the specimen is mandatory to recover the cells and avoid altering the fine structures. We experienced a case of malignant melanoma in 33-yrs-old female, diagnosed by EM study of FNAC specimen from the axillary mass, who was initially thought as dissem- inated carcinomatosis on LM study. The technique of EM study on FNAC specimen consisted of washing the needle and syringe in 2.5% glutaraldehyde after a rapid stain (Diff-Quik), which was used to obtain a preliminary diagnostic impression and to assure the adequacy of the EM specimen. After centrifugation in the steps of fixation and dehydration, the sediment was made into an epon block and examined. The whole processing time of EM study can be shortened within 7 or 8 hours, and results can be available within 48 to 72 hours. Our experience suggests the EM study on FNAC can be a useful diagnostic method in the diagnosis of difficult FNAC cases.

Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis is a fatal disorder characterired by multiple cutaneous and visceral hemangiomas. The organs most commonly affected are the gastrointestinal tract, brain, liver and lung. The complications are high output cardiac failure, gastrointestinal bleeding and hydrocephalus. We present a patient with diHuse neonatal hemangiomatosis associated with massive hepatic involvement and high output cardiac failure, which was successfully treated with high dose corticosteroid.
