Carcinsarcoma is an uncommon pulmonary malignancy characterized by carcinmatous parenchyma and sarcomatous stroma. The cytologic, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural features of a case of pulmonary carcinosarcoma suspected by fine needle aspiration cytology is presented. Only bizarre spindle cells arranged in loose groups, in microtissue fragments and in a dissociate fashion were present in the aspiration smears. They were markedly positive for vimentin. The epithelial component was not found, which was probably due to marked paucity of carcinomatous component that was proved by histologic examination of the resected tumor. The diagnosis of pulmonary carcinosarcoma should be conidered whenever poorly differentiated epithelial cell groups with a malignant mesenchymal component set in a myxoid background are seen in a pulmonary cytology specimen.

BACKGROUND: The transposition flap is one of the most useful methods of facial reconstruction after Mohs micrographic surgery of the basal cell carcinoma, but occasionally some variations are needed. OBJECTIVE: We present our experience with several variations of the transposition flap to overcome the disadvantages of classic rhomboid flaps. METHODS: We performed the Webster 30-degree angle flap on the lower eyelid, the double 30-degree angle flap on the temple area and the nasolabial flap on the ala nasi. RESULTS: These variations of the transposition flap gave no complications such as ectropion, tissue distortion, protrusion, or trapdoor deformity. CONCLUSION: The variations of the transposition flap in our cases might be of help in selecting the ideal method in facial reconstruction.

Higher cognitive functions refer to the highest level of human intellectual functioning, including formation, reasoning, and executive functions. The executive functions can be conceptualized as having four components ; volition, planning, purposive action, and effective performance. Because higher cognitive functions represent the most advanced stages of intellectual development, they are often highly susceptible to the effects of brain injuries and mental disorders. The ability to perform effectively within the environment is determined in large part by an individual's adequacy in performing such higher-order function. Especially executive functions are necessary for appropriate, socially responsible, and effectively sell-serving adult conduct. Therefore, an assessment of the psychiatric patient's performance in these areas will provide useful diagnostic information, as well as information concerning social and vocational prognosis.
