Yeungnam University Journal of Medicine 1985;2(1):161-166
Endobronchial tuberculosis is frequently associated with lymphadenopathy, bronchial stenosis, atelectasis which needs to be differentiated with other pulmonary disease. Authors are presenting 25 cases of endobronchial tuberculosis which were confirmed boy bronchoscopic biopsy and AFB smear and/or culture. The study was done on patients who visited Yeungnam University Hospital from May 1983 to July 1985. The following results were obtained: 1. Of the 25 cases, 8 cases were male and 17 cased were female (male:female=1:2). 32 percent of the cases was older than 60 years of age. 2. Abnormal findings on chest x-ray were seen on 22 cases of 25 cases (88%) and its most predilective site was right upper lobe (24%). 3. Symptoms were coughing (56%), hemoptysis, hoarseness, chest pain, dyspnea and fever in orders. 4. The positive results were obtained in 73 percent of sputum AFB smear (11 cases of 15 cases). 60 percent of AFB culture (3 cases of 5 cases) and 58 percent of bronchoscopic biopsy (14 cases of 24 cases). 5. Complete pulmonary function test was done on 19 cases and showed normal result in 6 cases, restrictive pattern in 8 cases and small airway dysfunction in 5 cases. No case of obstructive airway disease was detected. 6. Associated disease were hypertension (2 cases), tuberculous meningitis (1 case), diabetes mellitus (1 case), and cataract (1 case). 7. The site of bronchoscopic lesion on bronchoscopic examination were as follow; 8. All 25 patients were treated with anti-tuberculosis therapy and 6 patients were treated with additional steroid therapy because of severe respiratory symptom and showed dramatic improvement of symptom as well as lung function.

3.Clinical and Histopathologic Observations on Nevus Sebaceus of Jadasshon.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1988;26(3):338-348
Clinical observations were made on 63 cases on nevus sebaceus of Jadasshon. 52 of 63 cases were diagnosed on the basis of clinical and histopathologic findings during a period of 19 years from January 1969 to July 1987 at the Department of Dermatology, Kyungpook National University Hospital, with the remaining 11 cases diagnosed at other skin clinics in Taegu. Histopathologic examinations were made on 51 selected cases of the 63. The results were as follows : Clinical observations 1) The percentage of patients with nevus sebaceus of Jadasshon of total new outpatients was 0.12%. Of the 63 cases, males numbered 38 and females, 25, with a sex r atio of 1.5: 1. 2) Patients when first seen were most commonly in the age group of 10~19. 3) The most favorate sites were the scalp(83.3%) and face(13.3%). 4) The average size of the lesions was 2.23cm * 3.24cm with no difference among the age groups. Histopathological observations 1) The apparent proliferation of sebaceous glands was observed in 32 of 51 cases(62.7%). The degree of proliferation markedly increased in the age group of l0~19 and slightly decreased beyond this age group. Apocrine glands were present. in 17(33.3%), with a higher number of glands seen in the age group of 10~19. Immature hair follicles were found in 38(74.5%), with no changes according to aging. 2) The epidermal changes such as acanthosis(86.3%), papillomatosis(70.6%), hyperkeratosis(78.2%) and hypergranulosis(78.2%) predominated in the age group of 10-19, and severe but more gradual changes were noted 20 years of age on. 3) Inflammatory cell infiltration of moderate to marked degree was noticeable in 27(53%). The older the patients were, the more pronounced dermal infiltration was. 4) Six of 51 cases were complicated with basal cell carcinoma(3) and syringocystadenoma papilliferum(4). The tumors, which occurred beyond 30 years of age, showed a marked inflammatory cell infiltration.

4.Clinical Experiences of the Hip Arthroscopy
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1995;30(4):933-938
Hip arthroscopy is technically demanding procedure and it is difficult to inspect the entire joint space. But with the development of instruments and the accumulation of results of research, the indications of hip arthroscopy are expanding. The operative arthroscopy of 18 joints was performed during the past four years. We used the supine position on the fracture table and anterolateral and lateral portals. Removal of traumatic loose bodies and synovial chondromatosis, lavage of pyogenic arthritis are excellent indications for the arthroscopic surgery of the hip joint. The results of the partial synovectomy and debridement for rheumatoid arthritis and other arthritis are satisfactory. The hip arthroscopy is beneficial to the diagnosis and treatment for the unexplained hip pain.

PURPOSE: Pilomatrixoma is a benign, usually asymptomatic tumor. It presents clinically as a solitary superficial subcutaneous nodule measuring between 0.5 cm and 5 cm in diameter on the head or upper extremeties and has not been reported after skin graft. The objective of this article is to report our experience in treating pilomatrixoma which occurred after split thickness skin graft on the lower extremity. METHODS: A 56-year-old female was treated in August 2005 with a 0.5 X 0.5 cm firm subcutaneous nodule at recipient site of split thickness skin graft on the left medial thigh. The tumor was successfully removed by complete excision and histologic examination was followed. RESULTS: The diagnosis was pilomatrixoma which was characterized by a dual population of proliferating basophilic cells and diagnostic shadow cells. CONCLUSION: The tumor was successfully treated by complete resection. The authors report this very rare case of pilomatrixoma which occurred at recipient site of split thickness skin graft.

One case of Behcet's disease with multiple aneurysms in both common carotid arteries and abdominal aorta is presented with brief review of the literatures. A 26-year-old woman had slowly enlarging pulsatile masses in both sides of neck and recurrent ulcerations in oral cavity and genitalia. One day prior to admission, aphasia, right facial nerve palsy and right hemiplegia suddently developed. Brain CT showed acute infarction in left basal ganglia. Both Carotid Angiography and abdominal Aortography demonstrated mulitple aneurysms in both common carotid arteries and abdominal aorta with organizion thrombi and thromboembolism of internal carotid artery.
