Spontaneous Infarction of fibroadenoma of the breast is very uncommon and may lead to difficulties in clinical and pathological diagnosis. Most reported cases occured in young women during pregnancy or lactation. This report describes imprint cytologic features of an infarcted fibroadenoma in a 19-year-old young woman without evidence of pregnancy. The smears revealed many individually scattered degenerated or necrotic epithelial or spindle stromal cells and naked nuclei on dirty necrotic background. A few sheets of cohesive uniform epithelial cells and a few fragments of stromal cells were also present. Most of the epithelial cells had pyknotic and hyperchromatic nuclei, however, cellular atypism such as pleomorphism, prominent nucleoli or mitosis were not present. Though the necrotic ductular and glandular outline of this case may bear a superficial resemblance to adenocarcinoma, obvious cytologic atypia or mitosis, even in the necrotic areas, were not present.

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of aging and thermal cycling on the biaxial flexure strength of four commercially available veneering resin composites for crown(Dentacolor : DC, Artglass : AG, Esternia : ET and Targis : TG). Disc specimens were fabricated in a teflon mold giving 12mm in diameter and 1mm in thickness. All samples were divided into 4groups. Group 1 was dried in a dessicator at 25degrees C for 30 days. Group 2 was immersed in distilled water at 37degrees C for 30 days. Group 3 was immersed in distilled water at 65degrees C for 30 days. Group 4 was subjected to 10,000 thermal cycles between 5degrees C and 55degrees C, and the immersion time in each bath was 15 seconds per cycle. Biaxial flexure test was conducted using the ball-on-three-ball method at the cross head speed of 0.5mm/min and fracture surfaces were observed with scanning electoron microscope. The results obtained were summarized as follows ; 1. Weibull modulus values, except for the AG group, decreased after thermal cycling treatment. 2. Biaxial flexure strength values of aging group at 37degrees C were th lowest in all sample groups. Except for the DC group, strength values were significntly decreased for the drying group. 3. After thermal cycling test, the highest value of biaxial flexure strength of 188.8 MPa was observed in the ET group and the lowest value of 73.2 MPa was observed in the DC group. The strength values showed the significant differences in each group (p<0.05). 4. Observation of surfaces after thermal cycling test revealed the ditching in the part f surrounding large fillers.

Cleidocranial Dysplasia

We Reviewed 10 hypertensive children with pheochromocytoma retrospectively and the following results were obtained. 1) Out of 10 patients, 7 were male and 3 female. Age ranged from 5.5 years to 13.8 years and their median age was 9.9 years. 2) They complained of sweating, lethargy, headache. or chest pain and so on. Hypertension were noticed in all patients. Heart murmurs were detected in 7 patients and hypertensive retinopathy in 70%. 3) The three cases arised at extraadrenal gland and bilaterality was seen in 3 patients. In the view of diagnosis, abdominal sonography, computerized tomography and urine VMA test revealed the sensitivity of 100%. But MIBG scan showed 60% in sensitivity. 4) Waiting for operation, their hypertension were controlled by adrenergic blockers or calcium channel blockers. They received tumorectomy successfully except one who was in hypertensive state after operation and followed up through OPD. In conclusion high suspicion for the existence of pheochromocytoma from the clinical manifestations should be entertained in any pediatric patients and biochemical and imaging studies were mandatory. Furthermore, for the accurate localization of tumors, several imaging studies should be collaborated.
