Though leiomyomas are the commonest benign tumors in the esohpagus, the vast majority of the leiomyomas of alimentary tract occurs outside the esophagus. Leiomyoma is mostly solitary, and multiple lesions are rare. Diffuse esophageal leiomyomatosis is a very rare disease, which is the condition having diffuse thickening of esophageal musculature and with or without discrete lesion. We are reporting a typical case of diffuse leiomyomatosis of the esophagus in a 37-year-old woman successfully resected.

Intrathoracic teratoma is mainly found on the anterior mediastinum. For teratoma of the pleura, one case was described. We have presented what we believe to be the first report of a teraroma of the pleura, which was mainly composed of neuroglial cells and was accompanied with lymph node metastasis.

We report a case of a resection of very large intracavitary metastatic malanoma causing obstruction of the right ventricular inflow and outflow tract of the heart. A 49-year-old woman with dyspnea and generalized edema was seen. Echocardiography reveal an intra cavitary mass occupying the entire right ventricle and pericardial effusion. The lesion was palliatively resected using a cardiopulmonary bypass and was confirmed as a malignant melanoma. The patient is alive and improved symptomatically 30days after the operation.

BACKGROUND: Thoracic sympathicotomy has been used safely and successfully to manage palmar hyperhidrosis. The preoperative and postoperative recording of Sympathetic Skin Responses(SSR) was performed for objective evaluation and follow-up of thoracic sympathicotomy in hyperhidrosis patients, and also for ascertaining the clinical usefullness of SSR. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The recording of SSR was performed on 15 patients suffering from palmar hyperhidrosis with Medelec Sapphire Plus electromyogragh before and after thoracic sympathicotomy. Eletrical stimuli on the right median nerve was made in patients in supine position and results were recorded on right and left palms with soles at the same time by 4 channels. Skin temperatures were also monitored simultaneously. T2,3 sympathicotomy was performed with VATS in every patients. SSR was done in 2 patients one month later. RESULT: Clinically, all patients had symptomatic improvement with satisfaction. Postoperative complication was small amount of residual pneumothorax in 5 patients but it was absorbed sponteneously. There was no recurrence during follow-up period and ten patients(66%) complained compensatory hyperhidrosis. After operation, SSR change was shown in every 15 patients. Abolition of SSR on both palms was achieved in 12 patients(80%) and on both soles in 6 patients. In the other 3 patients, the latencies were significantly delayed and the amplitudes were significantly reduced at both palms and soles. In two patients who were examined at one month later after operation, similar results with postoperative SSRs were shown. The skin temperature on preoperative both palm and sole were lower than normal temperature, and those on postoperative both palm and sole were increased. Those had statistical significance(p<0.05), and the temperature on the palm was increased higher that than on the sole. CONCLUSION: After thoracic sympathicotomy was performed on palmar hyperhidrosis patients, an increment of skin temperatures and SSR changes were achieved at both palms and soles of all patients. Palmar SSRs were completely abolished in 12 patients(80%), and similar results of postoperative SSRs were achieved. The recording of SSR may be useful to easily and objectively assess the completeness of sympathicotomy and the follow-up of recurrence in hyperhidrosis patients.
