A total of 48 cases of tuberculous lesion in the lymph nodes (43 cases), lung (3 cases) and soft tissue (2 cases), was subjected to fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC). The age of the patients ranged from 19 to 77 year-old (average 33.6 years in age) and the male to female ratio was 1: 4. Thirty-four cases (70.8%) demonstrated distinct granulomatous reaction with or without caseation necrosis, nine cases (18.8%) showed no granulomas, but large amount of necrotic debris with numerous polymorphonuclear cells and histiocytes, and five cases (10.4%) revealed acellular material only. The overall AFB positivity in smears was 62.5%. In areas associated with granulomatous reaction and necrosis, AFB positivity was 55.8%, while it was 80.0% in cases with acellular necrotic material. There were 2 cases of parasitic infestation which could not be easily differentiated from tuberculosis based on aspiration smears only.

The review of normal intravenous pyelography can give us important criteria of the diseases of the urinary system and the adjacent organs. Authors analyzed 200 cases of intravenous pyelography of normal Korean adults and measured the following points; the length of kidneys, the distance from midline to both poles, the slope degree of longitudinal axis, the ureteral length and width, the shortest distance from midline to abdominal ureters, the longest distance form midline to pelvic ureters, and configuration of urinary bladder. The results were obtained as follows; 1. The average length of kidneys in adult male was 12.53±0.78 cm on right, 12.83±0.82cm on left; in adult female, 12.08±0.72cm on right, 12.46±0.73cm on left. In the age distribution, the length gradually became shorter by getting old. In 20% of cases, right kidney was longer than left. 2. The average distance from both the renal poles to midline was longer in male compared to female. The distance from upper pole to the midline was longer in left side than right in male, but in the lower pole, there was no difference in both sexes. 3. The slope degree of the renal longitudinal axis was larger in male than in female, and lager in right kidney compared to left. 4. The length of ureter was longer on left, but there was no remarkable difference between both sexes. 5.The short set distance from midline to abdominal ureter, there was no remarkable difference between both sexes and also between right and left side. But concerning the longest distance from midline to pelvic ureter, it was longer in female; and especially in female, right side was shorter than left. 6. The longitudinal diameter of urinary bladder was longer in male, but horizontal diameter was longer in female.
