Fatty tumours are,the most common soft tissue tumours whereas they are among the rarest tumours in bone. Dahlin quoted an incidence of 1 in 1, 000 of all bone tumours, and fatty tumours in bone are almost single intraosseous lipoma and of four types; I. Soft tissue lipomata or liposarcomata, secondarily affecting bone. 2. Parosteal lipomata. 3. Intraosseous lipomata. 4. Liposarcoma of bone. Here we report a case of multiple intraosseous lipomas in a 23 year old woman.

Ten cases of fracture of the carpal scaphoid analysed clinically and treated by admission at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, National Police Hospital during the period of 1975 to 1980. The results were summerized as follows: 1. The mode of the injury were consist of 3 in football game, 2 in judo, 2 in army training and 1 in fallen from height, 1 in slipping down, 1 in direct blow and almost falling down by outstretched hand. 2. Of the 10 cases, there were 9 male and 1 female patients. This result showed marked predominence of male over female patients and most commonly occured between 20 and 29 of age. 3. In 8 cases, the fracture was found on the waist of the carpal scaphoid. 4. Nonunion of the carpal scaphoid were noticed in 8 cases. 5. 2 cases of the recent fracture, there were appeared by rechecking X.-ray after 2 weeks. 6. The good results were obtained by bone graft according to method of Russe.

Fifteen cases of ventricular septal defect with aortic insufficiency were diagnosed radiographically andconfirmed after operation at Seoul National University Hospital in recent two and half years since 1979.Cineangiographies of ascending aorta and left ventricle were done in those cases and revealed some characteristicfindings. The resuls of the analysis are as follow; 1. Among the 15 cases, 14 cases were male and 1 case wasfemale. Age distribution was from 7 years to 23 years. 2. Those 15 cases were corresponded to 8% among total 193cases of ventricular septal defect, to 11% among total 135 cases of aortic insufficiency and especially to 48%among 48 cases of aortic in sufficiency below age of 20 years. 3. After operation, 11 cases were confirmed assubpulmonary type ventricular septal defect and 4 cases as subcristal type. The sizeds of the ventricular septaldefects were ranged between 0.6 and 2.5cm in diameter. 4. Regurgitation of contrast media was noticed in cineaortography of all cases, and the grades of regurgitation were II-III/IV in 13 cases. 5. Various types ofherniated aortic cusp through ventricular septal defect were seen. In the cases of subpulmonary ventricular septaldefect characteristic saccular aneurysm was found in 7 cases. Asymmetry or mild bulging of aortic sinus was foundin the cases of subcristal ventricular septal defect. 6. Infundibular stenosis was found in 3 cases with rightventriculography and those were caused by the herniated saccular aneurysm of aortic cusp. 7. It is essential forthe diagnosis of ventricular septal defect with aortic insufficiency to undertake biplane cineangiography ofascending aorta and left ventricle in long axial view and right ventriculograhy should be done in suspicion ofinfundibular pulmonary stenosis.

9 cases of criss-cross heart anomaly, diagnosed by angiography from April, 1979 to Feb. 1985 at Seoul National University Hospital were reviewed. The results were as follows: 1. Of 9 cases, 6 cases were male and 3 cases werefemale and the age ranged from 2 months to 16 years of age. 2. Of 9 cases, 7 cases were concordant (D-loop) and 2cases were discordant (L-loop). segmental approaches are 2 cases of SDD(TGV) and each one case of SLD(TGV),SDD(DORV), SDL(DORV), SDD(DOLV), SLL(corrected TGV), and normal one. 3. Associated anomalies are small sized rightventricle (7 cases), especially inflow tract and sinus portion, pulmonary outflow tract obstruction(5 cases),VSD(9 cases), ASD( 7 cases), PDA(2 cases) and visceroatrial situs solitus was observed in all 9 cases but 1dextrocardia.

The Saville's index of the lumbar spine and the Singh's index of the femoral neck is very simple method to measure degree of osteoporosis. Authors compared Singh's index and Savilles index with Dual Photon Absorptiometry(D.P.X.) and studied the reliability and clinical usefulness of two indices. We took the D.P.X. and simple L-spine lateral view in 103 patients in same time and also performed D.P.X. and both hips A-P view in 70 patients, then analyzed and compared each two indices with D.P.X. The Singh's index had less interpersonal difference and intrapersonal difference compared with Saville's spine index. There was some confidence of Singh's index and Saville's spine index compared with the D.P.X., but the relationship between Saville's spine index and D.P.X. was less promising than that of Singh's index. Authors suggest that the Saville's spine index has less clinical usefulness than Singh's index in measurement of osteoporosis.

Autoimmune diseases are occasionally associated with other autoimmune diseases in the same patients. Autoimmune Graves' disease has been associated with systemic rheumatic diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). And Graves' disease associated with idiopathic thrornbocytopenic purpura (ITP) has been reported many times in Korea. There is a special relationship between SLE and ITP, both of which are autoimmune diseases. Some patients with thrombocytopenic purpura, labeled as idiopathic at the onset, later develop a classical course of SLE, suggesting that ITP may be an early manifestation of SLE. The relationships among these three conditions and their pathogenesis are poorly undemtood, and the coexistence of these diseases at the same time has been reported very rarely, but it may be very probable that there are some relationships among them. We report a case of SLE associated with Graves' disease and ITP treated well by imunosup-pressive agent who had been suffering from recurrence by conventional treatments (antithyroid medication, corticosteroid, subtotal thyroidectomy and splenectomy).

Primary pleomorphic liposarcoma of the breast is rare, and only a few cases in the literature have reported imaging findings. Herein, we report a rare case of primary pleomorphic liposarcoma of the breast in a 38-year-old woman and describe the imaging findings including mammography, ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and 18 F-Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography. Although most fatcontaining breast masses are benign, malignancy can occur. Magnetic resonance imaging can be helpful for further evaluation of breast masses.

Ganglioneruroblastoma and neuroblastoma are among commonest types of childhood malignancy and a number of unique paraneoplastic syndromes have associated with both localized and disseminated neuroblastoma. The coincidence of neuroblastoma and myoclonic encephalopathy or other paraneoplastic syndromes occurs relatively rare, and therefore, failure to recognize this association could result in delays in both diagnosis and treatment, and the result could prove to be unfortunately fatal. The mechanism which underlies the remote damaging effect of neural crest tumor, especially neuroblastoma, on the nervous system resulting in myoclonic encephalopathy is by no means clear. In addition the nature and the extent of the pathologic lesion are inconsistent. We experienced a case of myoclonic encephalopathy associated with an occult mediastinal ganglioneuroblastoma in a 22-month-old girl who was hospitalized for inability to walk without support and tilting of the head to the left side. She became increasingly ataxic, and during the hospitalization myoclonic jerks of upper extremities and head along with chaotic, rapidly flickering, multidirectional spontaneous eye movements, were noted. Laboratory data included normal complete blood count, urinalysis, BUN and creatinine, electrolytes and bone marrow. Chest X-ray and chest CT revealed a relatively well marginated right posterior mediastinal mass. In a 24 hours urine excretion test, VMA and catecholamines were increased. Over the next 2 weeks, a surgical exploration revealed a right posterior mediastinal mass. Microscopically the mass proved to be a ganglioneuroblastoma, extending to right innominate artery and right axillary lymph nodes. Within 2 weeks after the surgery, radiotherapy (2,400 rads) and chemotherapy (CTX, DTIC, VCR) were started, but corticosteroid was not used. She has been free of tumor and abnormal neurological systemic symptoms and signs for 1 1/2 year since the completion of chemotherapy. In the 3 1/2 years follow-up period, her neurologic symptoms has completely resolved by the completion of 2 years chemotherapy. We report a case of mycoclonic encephalopathy associated with hidden ganglioneuroblastoma in 22-month-old girl.
