Classic pulmonary blastoma is a variant of carcinosarcoma which is seen almost exclusively in adults. By contrast, most cases of pulmonary blastoma in children have been described as having an exclusive mesenchymal composition, which was proposed as pleuropulmonary blastoma. Recently we experienced a case of pleuropulmonary blastoma, type 1. This 27-month-old male baby was transferred to our hospital due to the left tension pneumothorax. Chest CT revealed a subpleural pulmonary cystic lesion on the left upper lung and an open cystectomy was performed. Histologically the lesion was composed of variable-sized cystic structures lined with a single layer of respiratory-type epithelium. the underlying stroma was composed of sheets of small, round to oval, primitive tumor cells. Some of them had eccentric, eosinophilic cytoplasm, suggestive of rhabdomyoblastic differentiation. These rhabdomyoblastic cells were fuchsinophilic and positive with desmin and vimentin on immunohistochemistry.

Edwards syndrome is first introduced by Edwards and characterized by facial anomalies, multiple cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, urogenital, and skeletal malformations. It results from triplication of part or all of chromosome 18 in some or all of the patient's cells. It has an incidence of 1 in 4,500 live births or less and short life expectancy. Recently we experienced a case of 3-day-old female new born infant with this syndrome. Post mortem examination showed progeric face with prominent occiput, large flabby ears, microphthalmia, and micrognathia, bilateral clenched hands with flexion contraction of middle fingers, and bilateral rockerbottom feet. Internal examination revealed horseshoe kidney, esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula, two accessory spleens, and multiple cardiac anomalies. A trisomy 18 was confirmed by the cytogenetic study.

There have been controversies on the rationale, surgicl indication, technique and results of meniscus repair.. Authors comparatively studied 100 cases of meniscus injury in 88 patients (arthroscopic total menisectomy: 16 cases, arthroscopic partial menisectomy: 68 cases, arthroscopic meniscus suturing: 16 cases) from February 1985 to March 1992. The results were as follows: 1. Male (61.4%) was much more affected than female. 2. The third decade group was most commonly affected and the most common causes was sports injury (43.2%) 3. The lateral meniscus was more injured (71%), than the medial (29%) 4. In arthroscopic finding, longitudinal tear (37%) was the most common. 5. According to the Tapper and Hoover's criteria, satisfactory result was 56.3% in arthroscopic meniscus repair group.
