Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is located most frequently in the cerebral hemispheres. Glioblastoma presenting as an extraaxial mass of cerebellopontine angle (CPA) is very rare in adults. We report a rare case of GBM arising in the CPA. The patient was a 71-year-old female, who complained of progressive gait disturbance and poor memory. Initial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a 1.4×1.3 cm mass in the left CPA, with broad base to the petrous bone, showing homogenous enhancement. Follow-up MRI showed a rapid increase in size of mass (2.7×2.2 cm) with a necrotic portion. A stereotactic biopsy was done under the guidance of navigation system, and the histopathologic diagnosis was GBM, World Heath Organization grade IV. Further surgical resection was not performed considering her general condition, and the patient underwent concurrent chemotherapy with radiation therapy. Although rare, the possibility of glioblastoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of atypical CPA tumor.

The Parasitological investigation on the encysted metacercariae in brackish water fish, Tribolodon taczanowskii, in the downstream of Hyungsan river which is located in Kyungpook Province of Korea, were carried out serially and the following results were obtained. Metacercariae of Pseudexorchis major were found in six fishes(15.8 per cent ) out of 38 examined. Parasitic frequencies of the encysted metacercaria of Psedexorchis major in Tribolodon taczanowskii were 15.8 per cent (6 out of 38) in the scale, 10.5 per cent (4 out of 38) in the fin, 13.2 per cent (5 out of 38) in the gill, 10.5 per cent (4 out of 38) in the oral cavity and 7.9 per cent (3 out of 38) in the flesh. The worms were identified as Pseudexorchis major (Hasegawa, 1935) Yamaguti, 1938 by morphological studies on the metacercariae, excysted metacercariae, adults and eggs, and compared with prereported Pseudexorchis species.

PURPOSE: Polyarteritis nodosa is a necrotizing vasculitis affecting medium and small sized arteries throughout the vascular system, including ocular tissues. We report a case of orbital polyarteritis nodosa complicated with retinal vasculitis and exophthalmos. METHODS: A 51-year-old woman complained of swelling and hard mass in periorbital region for 3 months. The left eye was anophthalmos after enucleation secondary to corneal infection. The patient has treated marginal ulcer of the cornea and keratomalacia. Posterior synechia and motility disturbance of lateral rectus muscle were also revealed. Fundus examination showed focal retinal hemorrhage, macular hard exudate, and soft exudate, which may mean retinal vasculitis. Both eyes gradually developed exophthalmos. Orbital CT scan revealed homogenous infiltration in the orbit, ethmoid bone, and nasal cavity and perforation of the nasal septum. The pathologic examination for the biopsy specimen from the orbital tissue demonstrated a nongranulomatous vasculitis, diagnosing the polyarteritis nodosa. RESULTS: The authors present ocular manifestations, including marginal corneal ulcer, keratomalacia, dysfunction of the extraocular muscles, posterior synechia, retinal hemorrhage, soft exudate, hard exdate in the macula, and exophthalmos, in this patient with the polyarteritis nodosa.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, distinctive cutaneous tumor, which consists of spindle shaped ceils arranged in densely packed interlacing bundles with the storiform or cartwheel pattern. Histologically, it resembles deep growing dermatofibroma, nodular fasciitis, neurofibroma and neural sheath tumors. DFSP is one of t.he connective tissue tumors which is difficult. to diagnose histologically as well as clinically. Recently, the immunochemical staining with a monoclonal antibody to CD34 is reported to give assistance in the clear differential diagnosis of DFSP from other fibrous or neural tumors. Herein, three cases of DFSP were stained by immunohistochemical staining with S-100 protein, vimentin, factor VIII and anti-CD34 antibody in order to assess the use of anti-CD34 in the differential diagnosis of DFSP.
