An occasional patient has both a pressing need for visualization of the biliary system in spite of a past history of reaction to iodinated contrast media. We report a patient, who had reacted adversely to contrast media, underwent ERCP using barium sulfate in order to opacify the biliary and pancreatic duct without side effect successfully. In conclusion, ERCP using barium sulfate as a contrast material is of value in patients who are intolerant of the iodinated contrast media.

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.

Soft tissue coverage of heel defects has long been a difficult problem. In 1982, Iron reported eight cases of heel defects in children using an ipsilateral posterior thigh flap with use of the Hoff-man's skeletal fixation apparatus for immobilization. We report three cases of heel defects treatment in children using ipsilateral posterior thigh flap and detach flap in an average 13 days with aid of single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT) for evaluation of circulation status of flap.

Cellular schwaninoma is a variant of schwannoma, which is characterized by predominance of cellular Antoni A area, presence of mitotic activity, nuclear hyperchromasia, pleomorphism, and absence of Verocay body. These pathologic features often prompted a misdiagnosis of malignancy. However, the clinical outcome has indicated the benignity of the tumor. We have experienced a case of cellular schwannoma arising from right facial nerve with right hemifacial weakness and erosion of mastoid process. Grossly, it was a 3.5 x 3 cm sized and relatively well encapsulated mass with yellowish, friable cut surface. Microscopically, cellular growth with moderate cellular pleomorphism and some mitotic activity (5/40 HPFS, up to 2/HPF) were noted. Immunostaining for S-100 protein showed diffuse strong positive reaction.

We examined the anatomical position of the mental foramina in mandibles foramen normal adult Koreans. 1. The percentages obtained from the study of the relationships between the mental foramen and the lower teeth showed that the most common location was type lv in which the mental foramen lay at the apex of the second promolar. The foramen between thr apices of ice two premolars (type lll) and the foramen between the second premolar and the first molar (type v) occured often and less often rspectively and find no foramen mesial to the first premolar or at the apex of the first premolar and posterior of the first molar (type l, ll, vl). 2. The study of relationship of the mental foramen to the bo of the mandible revealed that mental foramen was situated closer to the lowed border of the mandibular body. The distance ratio between the mental foramen and the alveolar crest to that between the mental foramen and the lower border was approximately 1.2 : 1. The height of the mandibular body was 31.09±2.80mm on the left side and 30.97±2.48mm on the right. 3. The distance from the mandibular symphysis to the anterior border of the mental foramen measured 29.52±2.01mm on the left, 30.82±2.04mm on the right side, and from the mandibular symphysis to the posterior border of the mandibular ramus was 104.20±4.74mm on the left, 105.44±4.49mm on the right side. It indicates that the mental foramen lies approximately at one-fourth of the distance from the mandibular symphysis to 2017-04-19 the posterior border of the ramus. 4. The distance from the superior border of the mental foramen to the bottom of the lower second premolar socket was found to be positive. It was 5.46±3.09mm on the left, 5.73±3.03mm on the right side. This indicates that the bottom of the lower second premolar socket is slightly higher than the superior border of the mental foramen.

We herein report a case of gout, who was a 45-year-old man and had had multiple various-sized papules or tophi on the helices of ears, hands, elbows, knees, ankles and feet for 10 years. Histopathologic findings of the large tophus of right knee revealed the typical pattern of gout with needle-shaped urate crystal. The phenomenon of iransepidermal elimination was observed in serial sections of histologic speeirnerls, The nsrrow transepidermal channel, lined by pseudoepitheliomstous lips bilaterally, was Eilled with the cellular debris and urate crystal fragments and cornmunicated direotly with the upper dermis. Presumably, transepidermal elirnination in gouty tophus may be the phenomenon whieh could be found rnore commonly than the scarcity of literature.
