Liquid tissue adheisve, Histoacryl (n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate) has been used for the treatment of gastric variceal bleeding. The techniques are as follows: 0.5cc Histoacryl mixed with Lipiodol per each injection are used. 3 to 4 injections are usually required for large variceal convolutes under the fluoroscopic visualization after the injection of Histoacryl. Complications of sclerotherapy with Histoacryl are bleeding, perforation, stenosis and embolism depending on the concentration and amount used, as well as the intensity of the treatment. Here we describe a case report developing portal and splenic vein thrombosis as a side effect after Histoacryl injection therapy for the treatment of gastric varix bleeding, A 59-year-old male patient with liver cirrhosis was admitted due to acute gastric varix bleeding. The control of gastrie variceal bleeding was achieved by several injections of 0.7c mixture of 0.5cc histoacryl and 0,8cc Lipiodol. However, simple X-ray and ultrasonography revealed the elements of Histoacryl-lipiodol mixture in the portal and splenic vein.

Endoscopic variceal ligation(EVL) was developed to provide a safer alternative than injection sclerotherapy for treatment of bleeding esophageal varices. EVL adds a new indication that will significantly increase the use of overtubes. overtube itself may have a role in predisposing to esophageal perforation but only one report has been published regarding an esophageal perforation related to the placement of an overtube. Recently, we experienced a case of esophageal perforation caused by overtube placement during endoscopic variceal ligation. So we report this case with review of relevant literatures.

Dermatomyositis (DM) is an autoimmune disorder with idiopathic myopathy and characteristic skin manifestations that one often accompanied by an internal malignancy. The association between dermatomyositis and malignancy has been reported several times, although tonsillar carcinoma is extremely rare not only in far eastern populations but also in caucasian populations. We report two cases of Korean patients with dermatomyositis associated with tonsillar carcinoma.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: There is little data to indicate that hypertrophy of adenoid and tonsil may cause short stature. However, there is no data relating short stature to allergic rhinitis in the Korean population. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hypertrophy of adenoid and tonsil and allergic rhinitis on children with short stature. SUBJECTS AND METHOD: One hundred and ninety-one children were included in the disease group, which consisted of three groups, allergic rhinitis only (n=83), hypertrophy of adenoid and tonsil only (n=67), and combintorial of allergic rhinitis and hypertrophy of adenoid and tonsil (n=41). There were 174 pediatric patients in the control group. Growth hormone levels, thyroid function and both wrist X-rays were checked on the children with short stature in order to exclude other chief medical problems causing short stature. For the purpose of evaluating the relationship between short stature and clinical factors, allergy parameters, eosinophil partition rate and total IgE levels were checked in the allergic rhinitis group, and the size of the adenoid and tonsil were checked in the adenoid and tonsil hypertrophy group. The relationship between the incidence of short stature and above clinical factors was evaluated. RESULTS: The incidence of short stature was significantly higher in each disease group than in the control. However, there was no statistically significant differences between each disease group. The above clinical factors were not associated with short stature. CONCLUSION: Hypertrophy in adenoid and tonsil and allergic rhinitis might be an independent cause of short stature.

Soft tissue sarcoma of the head and neck is a rare and heterogenous group of malignant tumors. Especially, adult soft tissue sarcomas occur rarely in nasal cavity and paranasal sinus. They are, when poorly differentiated, termed as pleomorphic sarcoma, spindle cell sarcoma, or malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) like tumor. The main stay of the treatment of adult soft tissue sarcomas is surgical resection with negative margin. Tumor grade, tumor size and extension of local infiltration are recognized prognostic factors, but classification of histologic type appears to have less prognostic significance. In case of uncontrolled locoregional disease, it often results in death due to intracranial extension. We report a case of a 68-year-old female with locoregional high grade pleomorphic sarcoma in the nasal cavity. This tumor was managed by wide local excision of tumor with negative margin.

Mucosal bridge, endoscopically observed, is a cord-like mucosal connection across the lumen. The bridge is very elastic and stretches easily, unlike granulation tissue. Mucosal bridges of the esophagus have been occasionally described in various circumstances, particularly in congenital or acquired origin as the inflammatory diseases. The occurrence of mucosal bridges due to inflammatory process may arise anywhere from the esophagus to the colon. It has been more frequently reported in the colon than in the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. We experienced four cases of esophageal mucosal bridges and three of them were accompanied by esophageal diverticulum. We report these cases with a review of relevant literatures.

Aggressive angiomyxoma (AA) is a rare soft tissue tumor of undetermined etiology that occurs mainly in the female vulva and perineum. It has been demonstrated to increase in size under the estrogenic stimulation and shown to respond to treatment with a GnRH agonist. A 47-year-old woman was presented with a large vulvar mass. The mass had grown slowly before she took pomegranate seeds oil on a regular basis for a year, which is known to contain natural estrogen for a year. The almond-sized mass enlarged into a fetal head-sized one in a year. Our case is implying that external administration of estrogenic substance may be a contributory factor to the sudden accelerated growth of AA. Although the past medical history in this case relies on an unverified observation by the patient alone, the unique clinical course and impressive gross appearance of AA may help clinicians with diagnosis in practice.
