3.A Case of Ocular Neurofibromatosis.
Korean Journal of Pathology 1987;21(1):62-65
Neurofibromatosis is one of the neurocristopathies that involve many system or tissues forming various types of lesion. Almost every tissue or organ can be involved by this disease. However, the eyeball itself is very rarely affected by this process. The findings seen in our case indicate the diversity of lesions in neurofibromatosis, and also suggest hamartomatous nature. Heterotopic ganglion cells and glial cells in uveal tract are not easily understood. We reported here a case of intra-occular neurofibromatosis with its characteristic involvement of the uveal tract, in a 21 year old female. Her ocular symptoms began at her age of 11 as poor vision and were slowly progressive together with multiple facial neurofibromas. The involved left eyeball showed many ganglioneuroglial cell nests in iris, ciliary body and retina. Minute plexiform neurofibromas were also seen in small nerve twigs around the eyeball.

4.Parapelvic Renal Cyst (Pericalyceal Lymphangiectasis): A case report.
Korean Journal of Pathology 1994;28(2):210-212
Parapelvic renal cyst, also designated as pericalyceal lymphangiectasis, is an unusual lesion that is usually brought to light during surgery for ureteropelvic junction obstruction or recurrent pyelonephritis. Grossly, the renal pelvis is enveloped by a multilocular cystic mass filled with clear fluid. This lesion is confined to the peripelvic tissues and does not extend into the parenchyma, which, however, may show the effects of hydronephrosis or pyelonephritis. A 50-year-old man presented with hydronephrosis. An ultrasonography revealed hydronephro-sis of the left kidney. Intravenous pyelography and DMSA ("Tc-Dimercaptosuccinic acid) scan showed nonfunctioning kidney of the same side. Simple left nephrectomy was done. The renal pelvis was mildly dilated and a cyst was found buldging into the renal pelvis. The content was watery clear and the cyst was not connected to the renal pelvis or calyces. The cyst was round unilocular and lined by attenuated single layer of endothelial cells. The endothelial cells showed no reactivity to factor-VIII related antigen. With these findings, we concluded that this cystic lesion is basically lymphatic cyst and hydronephrosis was caused by the compression of pelvic out-flow of the kidney.

5.Congenital Bronchopulmonary Foregut Malformation: Analysis of the surgical and autopsy cases.
Korean Journal of Pathology 1993;27(5):459-467
Because early embryonic development of the tracheobronchial tree and foregut are closely associated, there is a wide spectrum of congenital anomalies involving either one or both organ systems. We analysed a total of 89 surgical and autopsy cases that are assumed to belong to congenital bronchopulmonary foregut malformation from the files of Seoul National University Hospital and Children's Hospital during the periord of 1961~1990. We also reviewed the serial sections of the embryos and fetuses from 3 weeks to fifteen weeks fertilization age for the observation of tracheobronchial and esophageal trees. Intralobar sequestrations(25 cases) and extralobar pulmonary sequestrations(4 cases) with patent, involuted-partial or complete-communication with the alimentary tract, tracheoesophageal fistula(30 cases) with or without esophageal atresia, esophageal atresia, esophageal stenosis due to tracheobroncheal remnant(4 cases), foregut duplication cysts(3 cases), esophageal or gastric diverticulum(1 cases), and bronchogenic cysts(22 cases) are included in this analysis(Table 1). Through this study, we confirmed the unifying concept of "bronchopulmonary forgut malformations". We believe a common embryologic pathogenesis leads to the formation of a previously described spectrum of malformations.

Ascariasis is probably the most common helminthic infestation of man, but it seldom causes severe illness. Pathologic conditions of Ascaris may be caused by adult worms, eggs or larvae. We describe a case of Ascaris egg granulomas that were found incidentally on the surface of the liver in a 75-year-old woman who had undergone a segmentectomy for an intrahepatic stone. Grossly, there were several yellowish calcific nodules of 0.4 cm in diameter on the lateral surface of the left lobe of the liver. Microscopically, the lesions were located in the hepatic capsule and consisted of fibrocalific nodules with many eggs. The eggs were round to oval, thick-shelled and measured 50~75x30~50 um. Most of the morphologically preserved eggs were fertilized eggs, but they had smooth shells without external protein coats. This case is of interest for the unusual location of the lesion, the presence of eggs without mammillation, and the association with the intrahepatic stone.

BACKGROUND: Hydrops fetalis is defined as abnormal accumulation of serous fluid in two or more fetal compartments, and this malady is known to be associated with various pathologic conditions. METHODS: We collected 149 cases of hydrops fetalis out of 2,312 autopsies, and we tried to elaborate the underlying causes of hydrops fetalis. The diagnosis was based on the material from either antenatal termination or intrauterine death. RESULTS: The relative incidence of hydrops fetalis was 6.44% of all the pediatric autopsies we performed. The gestational age was evenly distributed from 18 to 33 weeks, except for 30 to 31 weeks. There was no sex difference in the incidence of hydrops fetalis. The main causes were cardiovascular diseases (30.9%), cystic hygroma (13.4%), chromosomal anomaly (8.05%), thoracic conditions (7.38%), followed by urinary tract malformation (4.03%), infection (4.03%) and anemia (3.36%). The most common chromosomal anomaly was Turner syndrome and the second one was Down syndrome. CONCLUSION: Since various conditions can be the cause of hydrops fetalis, pathologists should pay attention to elaborate the underlying causes in every single autopsy.
