Giardiasis is one of the most common causes of infectious diarrhea and it has a worldwide distribution. Although it is a relatively common disorder, histologically confirmed Giardiasis is a rare occurrence and there have been no previous reports in Korea. A 34-year-old man presented with a 2-year history of epigastric discomfort and left flank pain. On stool examination, many cystic forms of Giardia lamblia were noted. In biopsy specimens of the small intestine, there was moderate chronic inflammatory cell infiltration and several trophozoites of Giardia were observed in the intervillous space and luminal surface. The trophozoites were pear shaped symmetrical organisms with two nuclei, and measured 9~10 micrometer in length.

A clinical observation was made on the 236 patients who had undergone transurethral resection of bladder tumor(TUR) between Jan. 1990. and Feb. 1996. in the Department of Urology, Korea Cancer Center focusing on complications. The mean operating time was 59.0 minutes(n=400). The most common immediate complication was bleeding(1.8%), and the remainder was nonurologic fever(0.8%). The delayed complication was urethral stricture(1.0%) requiting visual urethrotomy. The immediate postoperative morbidity was 2.5% and risk factors for immediate morbidity after TUR were operating time longer than 60 minutes and tumor, invading the muscle or more deeply(p<0.05, by Chi-square test). The delayed morbidity was 1. 0% and the only risk factor for delayed morbidity after TUR was the number of ~IJR more than 2(p<0.05, by Chi-square test). Careful attention to surgical details and indications is needed to reduce the amount and significance of the postoperative morbidity.

Pancreatic islet cell adenoma is a benign tumor of pancreatic beta-cell and a rare cause of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in children. The authors experienced a case of pancreatic islet cell adenoma(Insulinoma)in a 11 year and 8 month old male who had frequent loss of consciousness and seizure. Enucleation was done after localization of tumor by selective celiac artery angiography and abdominal computed tomography. Diagnosis was confirmed by histologic findings as pancreatic-adenoma, gyriform growth pattern. A brief review of related literature was made.

Dermatofibroma with granular cells is composed mainly of spindle shaped cells mixed with in-conspicuous foamy cells that contain granular cytoplasm. We present a case of dermatofibroma with granular cells in a 36-year-old male who visited our clinic to evaluate a slow-growing nodule on the medial side of the left lawer leg. He have had the nodule for five years and sometimes felt an itching sensation. Biopsy of the nodule identified a dermal nodular tumor showing cellular spindle cell proliferation admixed with peripheral foamy histiocytes. With the immunohistochemical staining, the granular cell was positive for alpha-1-antitrypsin and CD68, and negative for S-100. A few electron-dense granules were seen in the cytoplasm on the electronmicroscopic study. These results suggested that the granular cells originated from histiocytes.

This study was undertaken to compare the effects of furosemide on the serum concentration of sodium and osmolality after transurethral prostatic resection(TURP) using cytal solution, and to determine the adequate time of administration of frurosemide. At the end of prostatic resection, 15 patients were allocated randomly to receive furosemide (furosemide group) and were compared with 15 patients without administration of furosemide (control group). There was no difference in mean serum concentation of sodium between two groups. Serum osmolality in furosemide group was significantly increased as compared with control group one hour after operation. So cytal solution used during staged TURP and short operation within one hour do not affect serum corcentration of sodium and administration of furosemide is not associated with a change in serum concentration of sodium. But furosemide meaningfully increases the serum osmolality and it is more effective to administer it with administration at the end of prostatic reseetion.

Chondrodysplasia punctata is a rare congenital disorder of bone, occuring in infants, which is characterized by radiographic manifestation of premature deposition of punctate calcific densitiy in epiphyseal areas, preformed in cartilage. We experienced a case of rhizomelic type-chondrodysplsia punctata in a two day old female who showed short stature, symmetric shortening of proximal limbs, cataract, icthyositic skin lesion and characteristic coronal clefts in lumbar vertebral bodies on X-ray.
