A case of chondroma of soft tissue of right hand in 23-year old man was reported. The presenting symptom was a slow growing mass, causing mild tenderness. Radiologic examination revealed a well demarked and lobulated calcified mass, was located extraskeletally. Specimen exised from soft tisssue of the hypothenar area of the hand was 5×4×3.5cm sized mass, had gelatinous and gray-whitish appearance. On microscopical examination, the tumor was classified as a chondroma of soft tissue.

The AO internal fixation system(the Fixateur Interne) is effective in reducing and stablizing a variety of unstable thoracolumbar fracture patterns. It is relatively effective in decompressing the canal of retropulsed bony fragments associated with burst fracture. Sixty-Two patients with unstable thoracolumbar spine fractures were treated with the AO internal fixator. They were followed for an average of 21 months(range 15-29 months). A compartive radiographic analysis of kyphosis and vertebral height was made using pre-operative, post-operative and follow-up radiogram. Changes in neural canal compromise were measured in 18 cases of burst fractures. Failure of instrumentation occured in 9 cases which were carefully analyzed. Recently, we've constructed the system of which the Schanz screws would be directed divergently in sagittal plane in the hope that the load to the screws might be reduced, thus the failure rate.

We report a case of acute graft-versus-host disease, which developed after bone marrow transplantation because of acute myelocytic leukemia in a 39-year old male, The pruritic, erythematous maculopapular eruptions began to developed on the perioral regions, and spreaded the face, the oral mucosa, both hands, and buttocks at the twenty fourth day after bone marrow transplanta.tion. The eruptions were confluent to form erythematous patches. Iistopathological findings show parakeratosis, lymphoid cell exocytosis, and papillary edema, lymphohistiocytic infiltration, and melanophage in the upper dermis, and basal vacuolation. He was treated systemically by methylprednisolone, and antilymphocytic globulin, and tapically by emollients and steroids.

Total anomalous pulmonary venous return(connection) is a congenital heart disease. Especially, the reports of the patients with double connections of all pulmonary veins were rare. An infant who underwent operation for total anomalous pulmonary venous return had double drainge of all pulmonary veins to both left vertical vein and anomalous descending vein. This second lesion was not diagnosed preoperatively, but in operative field. Operative treatments were performed by ligation of left vertical vein and central pulmonary vein-to-left atrium anastomosis without ligation of the descending anomalous vein. For these less common variants fo total anomalous pulmonary venous return,a more detailed and precise understanding of morphology can facilitate accurate surgical repair. And also, early detection of the disease is an another issue for a good prognosis.
